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.

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.

    Haul & LOTD: INGLOT Shopping At Sunway Pyramid, KL

    Hi hi,

    this is my Inglot haul from my weekend trip to KL.  First of all, it is totally fun shopping with my fellow makeup junkies.  We took our time at the eyeshadow display, checking out the colours, keeping our options open, and well, basically, this was the highlight of our trip.  The store is huge, well-stocked and the staff helpful.

    I had hauled big time while I was in Vegas this year - so I kind of just want to get 'more' for fun since I am at an Inglot store again, and you can read all about my Inglot entries:

    - The Inglot Store at the Caesars Palace

    - US Inglot haul sneak peek

    - Inglot haul entry

    - Eyeshadow swatches HERE and HERE

    - and my first inglot palette from Australia

    Prices in KL are slightly higher than US prices, and you have to pay for the palette separately.   However, there is nothing like being able to check out the products in person.

    And prices of nail polish is super expensive though.

    Compare, one nail polish is USD10 [S$12.50],  but RM44 [S$18.30].  Sigh.  Or else I would have grabbed more flakies.

    Still, I couldn't resist and got myself a couple of Inglot polishes.

    I wanted to complete my Inglot Flakies collection, and the only one I am missing is 204 - which is the blue-ish one.

     

    And next, I got myself a metal mixing palette, well, for no apparent reason... maybe I can use it to mix foundation or something.  It just looks really cool, and retails for RM$46 [S19.20]

    Next, I got another 5 pan palette, it was really difficult to pick the colors I wanted, and I didn't really note what colors I already own, so I am just hoping I don't have the same colors.  I had wanted an all matte neutrals, but in the end, I went for a mixture of pearl, and shimmer finishes.

    OMG!!!  I just realised, I already owned #395!! LOL!!!  This is what happens when eyeshadows have no names.  I am horrid with numbers.

    I like the inglot palettes, they are very simple, clean and the magnetic covers means I can stack all of them together, and slide them open whenever I need to.  If I really do need to change the positions of the colors, I usually use a bobby pin or needle to pry the corner of the eyeshadow, and it comes out...but I must say the magnetic pull is rather strong and you should really proceed with caution. I have a 10-pan one, but the 5-pan are my faves.

    I used all the colors in this eyelook here:

    this is usually what happens before and after I do my makeup:

    Aftermath:

    p/s took all these pictures while we were getting ready in the morning!  :)

     

    Shall try to post my KL trip highlights tonight, before I take a break to deal with the busy week ahead!

     

    thanks for looking!
