Updates.....in-progress.

Hi.
It's been TOO long.
Yes.
I'm aware.
I missed blogging too.
But i stopped because i've been busy, tired & sometimes lazy.
Honestly, do alot of people still read blogs now?

If you havent noticed.
I am now a Stay-At-Home-Mom.
And still doing some freelance makeup services.
I am loving it.

There are brands approaching me.
Opportunities come pouring in.
So now.
Yes now.
I will try my very best to keep this beautiful blog of mine, updated.

For now, let me clean up some dust on the banners & sidebars.
It's 2am in Singapore. Haasband & babyboy are asleep. Its okay.
I will try to work harder on this.

Updates soon.
Xoxo, Sara 💋

Wati's Solemnization

I have to thank Fahimah Kamsin, who had private message me via Facebook & linked me up with this makeup job. It's for a friend of hers, Wati & it's for Wati's solemnization. Which was dated in 2 weeks time after i was approached.... Short notice but thankfully i'm available & everything went smoothly. ;)

A sneak peek of behind the scene.

Have to say i'm blessed to have done Wati for her solemnization. She's such a friendly & easy to work with client. Plus she have great friends who are so helpful, with the hijab styling & all.

So what i have used on the beautiful bride?

I wanted that sweet & demure look as her outfit was a beautiful silver piece with touch of crystals & white. Then i remembered i have a gorgeous eyeshadow i really feel it'll look beautiful on Wati, both in photos & off-photos.

Product name: KatVonD MetalMatte eyeshadow palette in Tinsel

Retail Price: between SGD45-100+

Texture: Metal Crush eyeshadow

My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Tinsel is a sparkling, light-medium pewter gold with warmer undertones and a glitter finish. And is one of the reason why i love my KatVonD MetalMatte eyeshadow palette.

What did i pair it with?

As i still want it to look more "natural" by just adding a pretty brown from one of my current favourite palette too.

Product name: Syed Faizal Beauty's MATAbySyedKillerEyes in Palette 1 (brown)

Retail Price: between SGD35

Texture: matte

My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Would i recommend you to get these two palettes?
Yes. Plus they both have a good mix of matte & shimmery eyeshadows. Buildable from a natural look to more pigmented finish if you like.

#MACcosmeticsSG: Smoked Almond (on Alawiyah)

The moment i applied this beautiful natural lipstick shade on Alawiyah, i know i have to blog this. It was like the perfect natural shade for her, plus she's very much used to bright rose shades on her daily makeup look.

This MAC Liptensity lipstick is so gorgeous, wearable & feels comfortable too! I am in love with it! I don't have a photo of myself wearing it, yet. And i only plan to wear this Liptensity when i'm not with the babyboy. (he'll smudge off my lippies, thus i only can wear matte liquid lip most of the time)

If you love long-wearing lipstick but hates matte texture, you HAVE TO TRY this Liptensity. Its key claims said to be long-wearing up to 8-hours!! 

Product name: MAC Liptensity lipstick in Smoked Almond

Color tone: Bright rosebrown

Texture: Gel formula with satin finish

Retail Price: SGD 39

My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Makeup Class with Alawiyah & Fazilah

Makeup class for the mothers on Mother's Day Sunday.
What a way to celebrate, right..... Of course, it was fun & exciting!
With these bunch of kecoh new people i just met who were introduced by a very supportive friend of mine, Muneera. The more kecoh when three of them, combined! Hehehe... (missing Muneera, not in photo)

I shall say no more. Just look at our "makeup table".
Also filled with delicious expensive chocolates & different types of cheese!!

Well, my style of a personal makeup class is to get my participants to be more hands-on. Of course if i'm going to be doing all the practicals, that'll be called a makeover. Right...

So i also love to get them to pour out all (yes, i really mean ALL) their own makeup products. Tell me honestly, how many of your products get untouched? 80%? 50%? Why? Well don't worry. I truly understand why. ;)

I started with:

1. Prime look (all about the skin)
2. Day look (added eyeshadow to their daily makeup routine)
3. Weekend / Night look (created different colored smokey eyes)

Additionally, Alawiyah requested to record a video while i do a quick smokey eye makeup on her daughter. Therefore, we ended the class with a brown, black & blue based smokey eye makeup looks on different faces.

At the end of my personal makeup class, i want my participants to be able to use their own makeup products, achieved their desired look, find solutions or alternatives to their difficulties &.......understanding that PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT. Well even i, myself, am still practising on my own makeup skills. 

I'm so glad they love it. A happy client makes a happy makeup artist too ;)

So thank you, Alawiyah, Fazilah & Muneera, thank you very much for this opportunity!

@RoseValleySG: Maroón Parfum by Scha Alyahya

I am obsessed with this Maroón Parfum by Scha Alyahya 

It's cute bottle fits in my handbag & diaper bag perfectly. I love the scents, obviously. I have to have 1 in every bag now.

Grab yours at @rosevalleysg or go to www.RoseValley.sg to purchase. Only SGD20! (And I heard there's limited stocks.)

My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

"Feminine scent with a combination of floral powder notes, some hints of peony & freesia.

It can also be applied while having wudu'.
Ideal for work or a night out as it has an innocent yet sexy charm to it."

Personally & honestly, the first time i smell this - i immediately fell in love with it!
The moment me & some friends smell it, we said to ourselves "Oh wow! Smells like Chloe!"
And yes of course, Chloe perfume is one of the best! So with that i excitedly said "What?? $20 only?? Okay buy buy buy! Now! i want this!"

@InglotSingapore: Aquastic Cream Eye Shadow & New Pressed Powder

Received these beauties today from the great people in Inglot Singapore.
It's their new launched collection & products, called Miss Butterfly, Aquastic Cream Eye Shadow & a new Pressed Powder.

I really wish i had more play time in the store, to do a better & proper swatches but sadly, i had to rush to another location right after. (My Haasband was only waiting for me at the drop-off. Yes that was how rushing it had been for me.)

Here's a video i managed to capture through my Instagram stories.
Some swatches & what happened while i was there in Inglot at Robinson JEM.

So what was given to me?
Two Aquastic Cream Eye Shadow & the one new Pressed Powder.
They were so kind to let me choose the shades for the cream eye shadow.
Took me longer than i thought, because all the shades are so beautiful. Metallic & shiny.

I finalized my choices with these two also because I wanted to have something that my clients will like to wear. I mean my clients are like my models, you know, they are going to be part of my portfolios. So there, i have to choose the typical silver & gold based shades.

Shades aside, i love how this Aquastic Cream Eye Shadow is water based YET....strong coverage, long-wearing, crease & smudge proof! Wow. I immediately thought about my sisters & friends who....wants to have eyeshadows on but yet can easily remove it when taking wudhu &....with the applicator, easily reapplying it back on after their prayers. Hey, easily remove with plain water!! Wow. Right?

My personal rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I got mine in shades number 13 & 14.
For more upclose virtual look at these shades, click here.
And below i had a session with the beautiful Muneera, on her is the shade number 13 on her eyelid.

#makeupMUNday

Next.....is the new Freedom System Pressed Powder Round.
Said to have Vitamin E and Sponge gourd oil restoring natural lipidic film of the skin has soft and creamy texture and transfer resistant.
The pastel look on the powder is so pretty to touch. Okay okay, i will NOT....untouch it. This is a useful powder, i will be using it. ;)
