Review: SACHA COSMETICS

 Ishees Singapore is the sole distributor of SACHA Cosmetics

"IsheeS" deals with cosmetics products in Singapore.  They take pride to be a representative of Sacha, an exquisite brand and collection of make-up, that brings out your natural beauty.  Dedicated to offer the best product mix that simply meets the distinctive tones of our various asian skin in Singapore, they have a wide range of colours to suit your needs.  
 Their Aim : To serve our customers with the best quality and service.  We believe in providing only the best for our customers and therefore, bring to you make-up products that are truly unique and worth it.

"SACHA" has been the official cosmetics for some of the world renowned beauty pageants such as the Miss Universe 1999, Miss USA 2000 and Miss Bahamas 2010, just to name a few.
 Their Aim : To create make-up that brings out an individual's beauty while providing a natural flawless finish.  Each of its product types have distinctive base  and colours that do not disappear even on the darkest skin tone after application.  Most of us asians, have yellow based skin.  Many a times, we encounter problems selecting the right foundation as we do not want to wear on make-up that looks artifical or two-toned.

SACHA manufactures the only yellow-based foundations and powders in the world.  Products are suitable for all skin types. With its yellow-base concept, SACHA make-up products are especially liked by Asian women as the products blend in well with various Asian skin tones. Being originated from Trinidad, another advantage of SACHA products is that, it has a wide variety of shades and colours to suit different Indian skin tones as well.  As you may know, the options for shades available to suit Indian skin tone are very limited and SACHA is one of the very few label that effectively meets this requirement. SACHA make-up is suitable for personal use as well as for bridal and the products have been also appreciated by local Indian women as well as other races.   

IMPT TO NOTE : SACHA make-up products DO NOT contain chemicals that are damaging to your skin. As a results, products can be used by ALL SKIN TYPES without having allergies or breakouts!


I recently met up with one of the staffs from ISHEES SINGAPORE (sole distributor of SACHA) to know more about this cosmetic line. I was served with good hospitality and I got to try out all the shades of foundation as I was more drawn to their liquid foundations. They do carry other make-up products such as eye shadows, lipsticks, face powders, blush colours, palettes and brushes apart from foundation by the way. As you already know from the knowledge above, SACHA foundations are yellow based. On top of that, I have to let you know that they are natural looking, provide full coverage and natural sun block. They are pretty light weight on skin and they are available in LIQUID as well as in CREAM-TO-POWDER. As many of us are having problems choosing the right foundations nowadays, I am going to show you results on using the foundation on myself. You could probably gauge how good their foundations set on yellow based skintones ! DO NOT STOP HERE, KEEP READING TO KNOW MOREEEEEEEEE.....

SACHA FOUNDATIONS



I tested on their foundations and you can see the range of their shades below !






Eventually, after a few tries, I found my perfect shade. Mine fell under Perfect Honey. I totally loved the texture on my skin after wearing it. It was really light weight and since it is OIL-FREE, it did not leave my skin oily and greasy. The coverage was really gooooddddd as well. It was heavy coverage but felt like my SECOND SKIN! totally and absolutely fell in love with their foundation! Here's a before and after shot I tried using their foundation. SEE BELOW !

DISCLAIMER NOTE : I only used SACHA FOUNDATION for this look. The other products were from my own makeup collection. I am not affiliated to SACHA Cosmetics or Ishees Singapore in anyway. All that is written here are my honest opinions of the products that werre given to me for review purpose. 

My thoughts : I AM ABSOLUTELY in love with SACHA foundation. I felt like i found the right and perfect shade for myself. Initially before applying the foundation, my face had pimple scars on my right cheek. The moment I applied the foundation, I felt so much of difference as I could not even see a single scar. The foundation did justice by having a good coverage yet leaving my skin looking ever so bright and glowy for hours. It did not feel heavy at all and I understood why it was mainly made for yellow based skin tones. It blended so well with my skin as well. I would highly recommend all ASIANS to try this foundation, especially Indians who are sometimes clueless and helpless on finding the right foundation for their skin tones. I can assure you that the darkest shade in their range is more than suitable for any darker skin tone indians. I hope this review was useful and helpful to all of you.

My INGLOT haul from Inglot JB

Hello everyone ! I am back to rave all about the NEW INGLOT OUTLET which is now opened in Citysquare- Johor Bahru, Malaysia! I always have been excited to go down to the store to check out the products although I have already bought some products earlier from their online website. I always gt fascinated by their SUPER PIGMENTED eyeshadows !! Well, finally I headed down to the store in JB last weekend. They opened this outlet in Johor Bahru on 29th March 2012 and they are open from 10am to 10pm ! I was totally awed by the wide array of products they carried ! My total damage came up to nearly SGD 100.


The new outlet in City Square, Johor Bahru (Malaysia)


I got some products from there which I totally am crazy about now.I have done some swatches for you guys to see as well. So, do continue reading below to find out what they are.



This was my splurge at INGLOT CITYSQUARE !
4 eye shadows, 1 lip paint and 1 concealer.



INGLOT FREEDOM SYSTEM EYESHADOWS


You may ask what is this freedom system all about?  It basically means that you are actually free to select all kind of eyeshadows in this collection to place it all in a magnetic palette that they also have. This does not ony apply to their eyeshadows. You could actually mix with their blushes,lipstick pans n etc to place it all in a combined palette. However, I did not get their palette as I already had a  palette of my own and I usually depot my eyeshadow pans in the palette. One of the many paletes I have , is shown below and this palette contains some inglot eyeshadow pans too, if you notice. (the rectangular ones)

This is one of the palettes I have, which contains some
eyeshadows I got from Inglot's online website!



Fom top left hand clockwise : AMC e/s 50, AMC e/s 74, Matt 371,  AMC e/s 51




Here are the swatches for the colours above !

Just look at how pigmented the colours are ! I totally went crazyyyy over all the colours there and definitely over the intensity of the colours. If I am not wrong, they cost like SGD 15 per eyeshadow. It may be slightly pricey for some of you but I can assure that you will definitely get to find the colour you may be finding for.

INGLOT LIP PAINT 


This was in No.56 and trust me I ABSOLUTELY loved it.
The idea of having lipstik in a cream form seemed super unique to me and
this colour really caught my eyes! I totally loved how moisturising it was on
my lips and not forgetting the YUMMY FRAGRANCE ! It is also highly
pigmented depending on how pigmented you want the colour to appear. If you
just want a light colour, just apply a teeny bit and try to spread it all across.
Also, when you need something more vibrant, then keep adding more colour to it.


The 2nd Photo shows that I applied the lip colour very lightly on my lips and the last photo shows that it was applied rather more intensely ! This colour is great for parties and functions !
Totally worthy and if I am not wrong, this cost roughly SGD 24 or 25.


INGLOT CREAM CONCEALER



I did not do a swatch on this as I am planning to do a look using this concealer
to show you how good it is. When first applied, it gives you off a very sheen coverage but
after being set with powder, it gives a very mattified look and it does have a good medium
coverage.



My thoughts : I truly love the products from INGLOT COSMETICS. Their eyeshadows are a MUST TRY ! I did not have any regrets going down to JB to get these stuffs as I find them all worthy ! If you are interested o get the products too, please spare sometime maybe over your weekends to make ur way down to INGLOT at Johor Bahru, Citysquare. As mentioned earlier, it is open daily from 10 am to 10pm. If you have any more queries or would like to ask me anything, please do leave your comments below. I hope this post has benefitted you in one way or another. Till i see you in my next post,

Lots of love !!
