A Beauty Survival Guide To Last You Through The CNY Reunion Interrogations

Let’s be real.

When the Chinese New Year season is in full bloom, you’ll feel it. Your social calendar is packed to the brim with visiting friends and family members. Being held hostage by your nosey relatives at a reunion dinner (oy vey) is inevitable, and prepping your skincare and makeup routine for a round of fleek beauty looks can be a little demanding. No offence to those we hold dear, but the evil dubbed stress is summoning us, and we’re answering.

We’re not alone; Sasa is here to help bear some of the brunts of that burden, ushering in a Chinese New Year beauty sale with gusto with some of your favourite brands, including Cyber Colors, Dr.G and The Balm — and we’re not just talking minor discounts here and there. The one-stop cosmetic store is bringing out the big guns with up to 88% off every 2nd item!

Think: Moisturisers formulated to handle patchy skin, cherry red matte lipsticks that promise long-staying power when you don’t have time to escape for touch-ups, and — of course — iridescent highlighters to fake that “receiving of an Ang Pao” glow.

To remove the stress from the equation, we’ve rounded up a plethora of can’t-miss beauty deals from their Boarsperity Sale to guarantee you’re truly ready to face the music ahead.
