Run back now!
Come back!
6, 5, 4...
Yes!
Hey this is Rozz
and we're here at the Sephora ION Orchard for a very special occasion.
Now this flagship store carries over 250 incredible brands and thousands of lust-worthy beauty products.
To celebrate its 5th anniversary,
we've turned the store into a bit of a game show set.
Welcome to the Sephora Shopping Dash!
Now we've invited 3 lucky Sephora ION shoppers to battle it out for the grand prize.
The winner gets 3 minutes to dash into the store to grab anything they want to take home for free.
But we're not going to make it easy okay.
The Sephora Shopping Dash is the very first in-store beauty contest that tests our contestants' beauty knowledge.
Who will be beauty queen?
Let's meet the contestants.
Hey girls!
Hi Rozz!
Are you nervous?
A little bit.
Relax, breathe.
What's the worst that can happen right?
You just don't go in for 3 minutes to pick anything that's all.
That's true.
Okay Vanessa, you are stay home mom,
tell me more about your situation at home.
That's right, I have a 3-year-old daughter at home,
her name is Matilda
and she's hoping that I can win tonight.
What are you hoping to grab for her if you win?
A beauty blender, she likes the sponge.
You know you have 3 minutes in there right,
you're not just gonna go for that sponge.
No, another thing is for myself.
Devices, skincare, makeup.
Okay.
Alright Farhana,
- Yes hi. - so you prefer shopping in store,
- Yes I do. - than online.
You have tabs on where all the items are, you kind of know when things are shifted right?
Yeah.
And how often do these guys shift things around?
Recently they just shifted.
So do you think this gives you an advantage today?
No I just try my best, I'm not sure.
Really? Just try your best.
So meek.
I tell you this one,
she's gonna sneak up the high engine man, she's gonna grab all the points.
- Nimisha. - Hi.
I know you've kind of like got to know a little bit about the contestants before you.
Yeah they're tough competition.
But you're pretty good yourself as well you know,
you kinda know what items are online that are not in store and vice versa.
Yes.
Did you also say that you know the store so well that you know it better than any of the beauty advisors here?
I would say that but only in makeup
because I'm a makeup enthusiast, I'm too much into new launches, and new products and what.
I look into reviews and all.
Vanessa, Farhana, Nimisha, you girls are forces to be reckoned with,
I am glad I'm not competing with you girls.
If you're ready...
let's start with round one!
Yes let's do it!
As top beauty shoppers you're supposed to know your Sephora beauty products really well right?
For example if I held this up,
can you tell me what this is?
Dior addict...
Addict lipstick!
So it's the Dior Addict Lipstick that's correct
but you know what it's not gonna be so easy, I'm gonna make it more challenging for you.
You're gonna have to guess different items from this store
and you're gonna do that blindfolded.
What??
And in order to find out what the product is you get to touch them.
Wow.
And if you think you know the answer,
you buzz the buzzer.
And I need the full name of the beauty item like for example this,
I will not accept lipstick, I will not accept your lipstick either
because Dior has so many lipsticks,
I need Dior Addict Lipstick,
like the full name of the product.
Can or not?
Yes yes, we're ready.
Alright, blindfolds on!
Girls are you ready?
Yes.
Alright you may begin to touch the product right now.
I'm gonna give you a hint okay,
this brand has 1 of 2 “Shop in Shops” at Sephora ION.
Vanessa!
Benefit BADgal Bang! Mascara.
Absolutely correct, you have 1 point, Vanessa!
I'm gonna up the ante, I'm gonna make it slightly more difficult for you girls.
We're gonna change products!
On my count on 3, 2, 1,
have a feel of products, go!
If you're absolutely sure what it is you can press the buzzer
but if you need a...
Oh Vanessa.
I'm going to give it a shot.
Fenty Beauty Match Stix.
Absolutely correct!
1 more point for you Vanessa, that's 2 points in total, my goodness!
So the 3rd and final product in this segment of the game show,
on my count, 3, 2, 1.
Nimisha!
Tangle Tweezer.
Okay what is the brand?
Tangle Tweezer? I'm... yeah.
Something with...
Sorry that's not correct.
Vanessa?
It's a Tangle Teezer.
Hairbrush.
Absolutely correct!
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much.
That was a crazy Round 1 right?
Yes.
Breathe girls, you got this.
Alright let's take a look at the score tally after Round 1.
And Vanessa,
in the lead with 3 points!
Thank you so much, thank you.
Farhana, Nimisha,
don't fret okay because there's still a long way more than a competition to go for you girls to catch up.
And with that, we move on into Round 2.
As shoppers you should be good with prices.
Each of you have a bag in front of you
and each bag is filled with the same exact items okay.
What you need to do is to take out the items and place it from the cheapest to the most expensive.
The cheapest on your right,
most expensive on your left.
You have 10 seconds to do that, I'll count down the timer for you.
You good, got it?
Now quickly take out the items from the bag
and put the bags on the floor.
Faster faster faster,
your time starts now and 10,
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
stop!
Let's check the answers.
Okay I think everyone got the first 2 correct.
The cheapest, most affordable one was the Gucci Mémoire D’Une Odeur EDP ($40).
Followed by One Size Patrick Starrr Visionary Eyeshadow Palette worth $67.
Now here's where it gets interesting.
The 3rd most expensive product costs $80.
It is the Coach x Sephora Collection,
which makes the most expensive the Pat Mcgrath Labs Rose Decadence Eye Shadow Palette at $100
meaning Vanessa you're our winner for this round!
You earned yourself 1 point.
Girl you're on fire!
Nimisha, Farhana,
don't worry, there's still many more rounds, this is only the beginning okay.
Alright girls let's kick things up a notch.
Look I've got something in this little bag here
and I'm going to tell you what it is
and I'll give you a choice between 3 options.
This is a multiple choice round,
if you think you know which option is the right answer, hit the buzzer, fastest fingers first okay.
So this is the Dr. Dennis Gross DRX Spectralite BodyWare Pro.
How much does this cost, is it A) $520,
B) $620,
or C) $720.
Yes Farhana. C.
C is absolutely correct!
Farhana you gained a point.
Alright girls you're doing good so far,
Vanessa you're in the lead
but don't get complacent because this round onwards things can get shaken up real good.
Now in front of you you see some products.
Now these are some of Sephora's best sellers.
Frst one we see here,
Fresh Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence.
We've got the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-In-Place Makeup SPF 10 Foundation.
Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector Treatment (100ml).
The Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum (200ml).
And the Mount Lai Jade Facial Spa Set.
You need to tell me the total price of this set
without exceeding the actual amount.
The closest one to the actual total amount will get 3 points.
The 2nd closest will get 2 points,
and the last one will get 1 point.
If your guess exceeds the actual amount,
you get no points at all.
You have 10 seconds to jot down the answers on the whiteboard in front of you
and your time starts now!
We've got Vanessa and Farhana very confident with your final total already.
3, 2, 1, markers off, pens down, flip the board, let's see your answers.
Alright Vanessa you guessed $418,
Farhana $568, oh that cute little smile there,
Nimisha $456.
Okay,
the correct answer is...
$598 which means Farhana you get 3 points,
Nimisha you get 2 points
and Vanessa you get 1 point,
congratulations!
Alright girls let's take a look at the final score tally after Round 2.
Vanessa's 5 points,
Farhana's 4 and Nimisha with 2 points,
congratulations Vanessa you're in the lead!
Thank you so much.
Farhana and Nimisha,
do not worry, the next round is gonna help you level up,
all the best, let's move on to Round 3.
Alright girls, this is the 3rd and final round.
This is kind of like a prelude to the Sephora Shopping Dash grand prize.
This is a test of your speed and knowledge of the store.
So in my hands I've got 3 different shopping lists.
You'll pick 1 of them, and go into the store and grab as many items as you can from this list,
bring it back here, hit the buzzer
and you have 5 minutes to do that.
You get 1 point for each item on the list that you bring back.
If you come back after 5 minutes,
you get no points, okay?
Vanessa, you're in the lead so you get to choose.
I'll go with 1.
Are you ready?
Yes I'm ready.
Never even wait for me to finish it.
Alright your time starts now!

We're gonna start with the lowest score, at 8 points,
Nimisha.
Thank you for trying!
That last round really helped you!
Good job girl!
Okay that leaves us with Farhana and Vanessa.
Okay so it got really interesting because...
you know there were some wrong items in the bag
and that pretty much separated your score by only 3 points.
3 points okay.

Farhana 11 points which means Vanessa you have 14 points,
