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.

    Collective Haul ! (ipod, Urban Decay, Ardell Lashes etc)

    Hi!

    Just a little haul entry here.

    I got my first UD palette, which is very appropriately, the Skull Palette.  I like the combination of colors in this palette!  A nice mix of brights and neutrals.

    0.8g per eyeshadow, SGD63.

    And two days ago, I finally ordered the ipod nano (16GB) from the online store.  It comes with free engraving if you order online.  Shipping is free.  All the colored ones are so pretty, I couldn't decide, so I went for a diplomatic black.  Boring, yup.. but I like the quote (by Oscar Wilde, fyi) I have chosen, it sums up why I got the nano, and also it is small, and it has video recording, AND I can toss it in my pocket when I go jogging.   SGD288.

    And lastly, a little random haul at John Little and Women Secret.

    3 pairs of Ardel Lashes 120 Demi Black.  SDG8.95 each, and a little bottle of Liese hair spray SGD3.95, I am in love with these little hair sprays.

    Nice to pop into your bag for a freshen up.

    And a tote bag from Women Secret, I think it is about $20 after discount.  The bag is called 'Paris'  cos of the tres chic girl on the bag.  I like!!

    That's all.... hmmmm.....yup.  A couple of incoming haulage (90% MU items) over this weekend... so do keep posted!

    chantana -- haha.. yah, she jumped (Just a little bit) when she knew Vert is in the palette, but really I don't think it is that DIFFERENT from any green she probably owns... so.. why buy the whole palette for one color, right? Sticking out tongue

    missjology - yup, I was looking at ipod touch too (the apps and wifi is very tempting) but yup, it is bulky, and I already have 2 full sized ipods... so a nano completes the family LOL Sticking out tongue more practical for my purpose.

    Haha I laugh when I think of that quote, it's my friend's life motto, but phrased in a different way 'I can resist everything but temptation'.
    And the skull palette is cute, the colors in there are so nice! Especially Shattered and Twice Baked!

    Yikes, you just reminded me of my UD Skull palette. LOL! I got it nearly 2 yrs ago and it has not even been used yet! Okay, this is obviously a clear indication that I have way too much makeup.. Sticking out tongue By the way, loving that Oscar Wilde quote. Extremely apt in my case too. Laughing out loud


    4/15/10

    Sara - I like twice baked too, always swatch it in the single pan, and have a lemming for it (along with Baked) so I am happy to try it out in the palette

    Claire - yes, you def have lotsa makeup, as we all do. LOL Smiling

    It is the incontestable undeniable fact that Mulberry Handbags are in hot pursuit among stars and socialites. I guess the excuse for its popularity must become the wonderful colors and textures used by the brand to comprise its iconic bags. And its bay styles Mulberry Bags Outlet UK are energy and reinvented season by season to create yummier designs and photos. Now let's have a glance at its latest Mulberry Mitzy Move listed as No. 7 latest Mulberry Bag.
    That Mulberry Mitzy Tote combined two key styles into one great bag : the Mitzy tote. This bag easily converts from a modern, slouchy tote bag with short leather handles - to a super feminine messenger style bag with zip drawing a line under. The external Mulberry plaque witout a doubt told its distinctiveness and high quality while external oversized Mulberry rivets reveal Cheap Mulberry Handbags Women some toughness, creating a stronger plus more fabulous looking for this purse. Pair it with limited jeans or tailored jacket to create a smart lunchtime look although match with strappy heels and a dress to present the eye-catching night out appearance.
    Possessing the height of 32cm, distance of 40cm and deep of 20cm, this Mulberry Tote carries a full cotton lining using one internal slip pocket and one internal zip pocket, thus it's functional as an everyday carryall. Thanks to the detachable and adjustable leather strap, this tote style container fits over your shoulder or may be carried in the crook to your arm. Such timeless yet stylish purse is sold at the price of 475.
    .
    "Quintessentially English" is a term often used to describe Mulberry Factory Shop. Mulberry first burst on to the scene over thirty issue and quickly become identifiable with exemplary craftsmanship and stunning creativity and pattern. Added to all it was a healthy dose with practicality enabling Mulberry to become fashion icon and yet not distance itself in the high street shopper.
    Through the years there have been several Mulberry Bags UK launched with some being better than others. Even the handbags that didn't reach the dizzying height of success as some of Mulberry's best sellers have been still very, very well made leather handbags. Perhaps the difference between a well-built bag and a well-built bag that becomes a global superstar lies in it's design appeal, providing the right style at the right time.
    The kind of Mulberry bag that became a fashion icon was the Mulberry Bayswater case. The satchel-esque look of the Bayswater coupled with exquisite detailing ensured the Bayswater became just about the most popular Cheap Mulberry truly produced.
    Fashioned from natural Darwin leather and featuring a rather appealing postman's clasp lock on the outside (even with it's own little key) this Mulberry handbag has gone into fashion folklore as an example of how to help make beautiful handbags with financial appeal.
    The Mulberry Roxanne bag quickly followed and was also a major international bestseller.
    More just lately the Mulberry Alexa has been attracting praise from world wide. With many styles and top designers available, online boutiques that distribute discounted replica designer handbags are your best choice.
