About Me

My name is Sophia, and I am in my early 30s. I am from Singapore and I am the sole writer of this blog.

About this Blog

I started this blog in 2006, I like to use a wide range of brands though I seem to have a growing preference for higher-end brands in recent years. I also like to share interesting things I have come across about makeup and beauty.

Currently The Makeup Blogette receives 39,000 unique views monthly or 2,238,932 views and counting.

My Makeup Style

I like classic looks (neutral tones on eyes, anything goes for lips & cheeks), though occasionally I try out dramatic/ statement looks.  I believe that a flawless base is the key to achieving great makeup looks.  I also believe that if you don't have great skin to start with, fake it with a good foundation routine, and even greater skincare.  I am currently loving Clarins & Lancome skincare products, and Vichy NormaDerm for tackling with breakouts.

What Cameras do I use?

Most of the pictures you see in post 2010 entries are taken with my Canon G-11.  Previously I was using Canon Ixus 80.  I do post some pictures which are taken with my iphone4 which I will state in that particular entry.  I have stopped watermarking my pictures as of 2011, because I think watermarks are ugly in general, and does not prevent people from stealing my pictures if they wish to.  I just take it as a compliment that my pictures are even worth stealing in the first place. I might look into getting a Canon EOS next year, not just for blogging purposes, but I also like photography in general.

My Favourite Makeup Brand(s)

It is hard to name just one, but I like NARS, Chanel, Illamasqua and the ocasional Guerlain, Dior & Urban Decay item.  I own quite a stash of MAC items, but recently I have stopped catching up with their collections, and I much prefer to splurge on a few really outstanding items.

Where to find me

Twitter (link button above!)  Email (stated above!)  Instagram (makeup_blogette)

I have no official Facebook fan page, and currently have no intention to start one at all.  The Makeup Blogette remains my personal hobby and property, so as such, I don't believe in having a Facebook fanpage for it.

Final Disclaimer

I bought/ paid for all of the products mentioned in this blog. I am not affliated to any company. If certain products are sent to me for review purposes, I will say so and express my honest opinions about them. In any case, I will only review and showcase the products which I have personally tried and tested, and enjoy using. I do not get paid to review anything.

No ads, no paid links etc please.  I am in charge of all content and pictures here.

I am not a makeup artist, nor do I have any professional training in makeup.

    Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color Trio [Photos & Swatches]

    This entry features a trio of Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Color lipsticks which you can purchase at travel retail locations (ie airport duty free shopping!) Not too sure how much exactly are these, but you will be sure to save a lot from buying them separately and with taxed in regular stores.  This trio contains a range of colors from nudes to a plummy shade, so you can either keep all for yourself to go with different looks, or keep the one you love the most and give away the rest as pressies for your girlfriends!

    These lipsticks are extremely rich and pigmented, and they can be a little drying, to be honest.  It is best to apply over a lip balm especially if your lips are prone to dryness.  I find the selection of colors in this trio the most impressive, and the nude is especially pretty. 

    Here's a quick breakdown of all the three shades:

    10 Plum Rose is a wearable plummy shade with a hint of pinky rose, it is the sort of plum which I would wear if I don't have anything else on the face. 

    06 Sweet Nectar is a bright coral shade, which looks and sounds pretty in theory, but on my lips, I didn't quite like how it turns out.  But I can see this as a very wearable everyday color for someone with darker skintone. 

    09 Bare Pink is prolly my fave among the trio, as I mentioned earlier.  Love the pinky dusty pale shade that didn't look wash out at all.

    Lip swatches & a quick overall LOTD to showcase the colors

    My lips aren't usually this dry, only realise when I post-edit the photographs.  

    Just woke up from a late night and some drinking, that might explain the 'dehydrated' texture. 

    Hope these swatches have been helpful, and thank you for reading!

    I really like how Plum Rose looks on you! And indeed, you can pull of any lip color, even Sweet Nectar actually!
