One To Watch

Some had asked what are those natural makeups that I wore last Thursday?

Well what happened last Thursday? :)
I had to go to a friendly soccer match that my Haasband was playing. Plus I was from work that night.


So I had planned on wearing makeups that look minimum, natural & yet radiant throughout the night.



Here I'll be featuring 2 products that I worn >

Product name: M•A•C One To Watch eyeshadow
Retail Price: SGD41
Texture: Pro Longwear
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 



Product name: M•A•C Fresh Brew lipstick
Retail Price: SGD29
Texture: Lustre
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 



Remember... to have your natural makeup, you need to look radiant too. Look fresh, not dull. Share with me what natural makeup products you use to have that minimum look.
Xoxo, Sara Jaz.

Flat Out Fabulous

The mood of wearing on M•A•C Flat Out Fabulous lipstick happened when 2 days ago, 2 tan Indian customers fell in love with the shade & I was wearing it on 1 of the Indian makeover customer.

Here's Mala, my Indian makeover customer yesterday who's a bridesmaid for her cousin's wedding >


The moment when M•A•C Cosmetics launched this range of Retro Matte lipsticks few months back, I already fell in love with them! 

Yesterday I had a simple fast makeup on because I didn't want to waste much time removing a lot of makeup after work as I was heading out for a tennis session that later evening. So there were only:

- eyebrows (of course must-have)
- eyeliners
- fake lashes
- contour & blush
- lipstick




My Haasband said I only hv 10-15 minutes time while he drive us to Senja-Cashew Community Centre located opposite of Bukit Panjang Plaza. So I had to make full use of that 10 minutes to change outfit, remove fake lashes & remove contact lenses. Then we were all set for our weekly tennis session.

I still had my Flat Out Fabulous lipstick on for my Haasband's best friend, who teased me on Instagram. Haha.... No worries I had it removed after 1 hour of tennis.


Product name: M•A•C Flat Out Fabulous lipstick
Retail Price: SGD29
Texture: Retro Matte
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Personal advise: To wear M•A•C Prep+Prime Lip first as a base to have a smoother glide with the Retro Matte lipstick. It will stay whole day!



Go try out this gorgeous lipstick, beautiful people.
Come look for me to get your free lip demo ;)

Not my usual "Sports Makeup" for tennis today

Helloooooooo! I miss blogging & I hate to say because I have been crazily busy lately but.....I hope I've not dissappoint any of you yet ok.. Hehe.

So today is my off day of the week. Haasband (my husband's short name is Haas. So that's why I call him Haasband ya) have gotten us a whole complete set of tennis equipments. This only means.......we are going to have more tennis practices together! Awesome!

Sadly, I've misplaced my top favourite product - M•A•C Liquidlast Liner Point Black. And it's a must-have especially for my sports. With that, today I decided NOT to wear my usual sports makeup look but instead just have these products on:

1. Bobbi Brown Brigthening SPF50/PA+++ UV Protection Face Base
2. M•A•C Pro Longwear Concealer
3. M•A•C Eye Brows Brunette
4. M•A•C Modesty Cremesheen lipstick


That's all. 4 products. Did it all in the car ride. 6 minutes. Done.

Well, for a better understanding - I won't be uploading other brands (or even our sister's brands) products onto my blog. So to be sure I still have my job ;)

Here's the remaining 3 products >

Product name: M•A•C Pro Longwear Concealer
Retail Price: SGD31
Coverage: Medium to full
Finish: Natural matte
Staying power: Longwearing up to 15 hours
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
My personal advise: To immediately blend them with your concealer brush as it's play time is quick (will dry on skin if left on too long).


Product name: M•A•C Eye Brows Brunette
Retail Price: SGD29
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
My personal advise: Shade your brows with M•A•C #208 eyebrow brush & no sharpener needed!





Product name: M•A•C Modesty lipstick
Retail Price: SGD29
Texture: Cremesheen
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥





Now planning for the next tennis practice..
Xoxo, Sara Jaz.

Halloween 2013 at M•A•C

Truly I don't celebrate Halloween. I enjoy them, not because of what it means but because of the experiences I get through the Halloween makeups.

Every year in M•A•C Cosmetics, we showcase our different side of creativity through this dramatic, horror yet beautiful makeups. Though in the Singapore market, we're not allowed to have the blood-sucking look. Just so we don't scare our customers off while we're on counter base. But somehow i feel some customers look forward to M•A•C when it comes to Halloween. Hahaha....

This year, our trainer had a new strategy for the Halloween theme look. All M•A•C Artists were to submit our very own creation of a Halloween facechart.

To be honest, I totally am not an expert in my own facecharts & I know it takes unlimited practices to a masterpiece. Therefore, with the time constraint I've decided to do a simple Halloween facechart that's still beauty but scary & still "wearable" to those who's still conservative. 

Guess which is mine?
(Comment below, Chatbox by the side or email me at Sara.Jaz@hotmail.SG your answer. 1 winner will be notified & will win a makeover session on my Halloween look done on Thurs, 31Oct!!)


(Photos from Instagram by @mac_beno_l "I am impress by the awesome Halloween face charts done by M.A.C Singapore Artists!!!")

Our trainer then chose Top 5 Halloween Facecharts Winners & had them recreate the look onto a real face. Based on these 5 Halloween look, M•A•C Artists are to choose 1 look & have it on Saturday, 26th October. So to say we all had a Halloween themeday islandwide!! So exciting!!

Let's again congratulate these Top 5 winners & see how amazing their creations were >


My M•A•C ION Sephora team have chosen 1 common look for ourselves. Credits to Janty Yang, the creator of One Missed Call Halloween look. Let me share with you the whole process of our themeday last Saturday >




To have only 30-60mins to recreate the exact same look on ourselves ain't easy. 




And here's my awesome teammates. We definitely made everyone turned back to look at us. It's a success!!




It's still the peak of the Halloween party week. Hope you beautiful faces get scary & have fun out there too!!
Xoxo, Sara Jaz.

Launch of Divine Knight: Holiday Colour Collection

Today's the islandwide launch for MAC Cosmetics' holiday limited editions called Divine Knight: Holiday Colour Collection ( http://www.maccosmetics.com/whats_new/11790/New-Collections/Divine-Night-Holiday-Colour-Collection/index.tmpl )


I personally love M•A•C Mineralize products. Hand-moulded, oven-baked...these are very special products you can use them both dry or wet.

Here's what I've on since I planned for a "Less is More" kind of makeup ;) Like focusing on my lips since I'll be heading down to a spa & workout appointments after work.


Here's the key products used from the Divine Knight collection >

Product name: M•A•C Scene To Be Seen Mineralize Skinfinish
Retail Price: SGD58
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 



Product name: M•A•C Prepare For Pleasure lipstick
Texture: Cremesheen
Retail Price: SGD32
My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ 



Isn't it simple? The "Less is More" look with 2 key products from the collection had already made me look effortlessly beautified. You can easily do this within 5 minutes! Hehe...

Plus, if you're into red lips but don't fancy those opaque matte finishing, Prepare For Pleasure in Cremesheen is perfect for sheen-feel with full color pay off. Especially those dry lips that desire to look as sexy~

Checkout this collection, beautiful faces!
Xoxo, Sara Jaz.
