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.

    Haul! No Makeup, Just Fashion

    Yay!

    If you read this little blog long enough, you know I shop a lot besides makeup, and I don't usually show 90% of the non-MU stuff I bought, simply because it's not very relevant...

    Anyhow.... 2 pairs of Ray Bans were purchased, one for me and one for my sis... and I also got a cute FCUK blouse.

    I wanted the Ray Bans aviator because I kind of want an update on my old pair, which has greyish gradient tinted lens.  Today I got a pair of gold framed pinkish brown one, and the sister got a black framed see thru brownish one. We got them at an optical store in Chinatown, simply because it is at these old school shops that you find the greatest and more classic Ray Bans, without the commericalised price tags.

    Wearing a pair of nice stylish shades really distracts from the fact that you aren't wearing any makeup.  And these 'sheer' shades provide sun protection, and enough coverage and you don't really need to take them off indoors.

    And this Fcuk blouse is cute!  I think it goes with anything and can be casual and formal depending on what bottom you match it with.  A denim shorts, great for summer, and a black pencil skirt will take you to the office boardroom.  Excuse the flatten chest area and track pants cos I was roaming about town today in my sports bra+jogging gear (though I wasn't doing anything like jogging at all).  Ha ha ha.

    Yup, that's all, what are some of your recent fave fashion purchases??

     

    Thanks for looking!

    Hahaha, if you hadn't said that you weren't doing anything like jogging at all, I'd have thought that you jogged to town! Cool shades, and no la, not v flat, LOL. The top is nice, but I think it's sleeveless right!! Why is it always that the nice tops are usually sleeveless?


    5/30/10

    Kim -- it is not very sleeveless (I don't wear sleeveless) the ruffles bit covered the start of the arms.. much like a capped sleeve length.


    5/30/10

    kim - and yah, I used to be able to jog/ walk all the way to town from my house then take a bus back! haha! so that wont be so far fetched.

    Soph: wow you live so near town?
    Are these the same aviators from your twitpic from some time ago? I thought they looked good on you then. Coincidentally, I was trying on some Ray Ban aviators on Friday, but none of them suit me.
    I have not made any fashion purchases lately. Just not into buying clothes/shoes at the moment. I think my most recent purchase would be some lacy singlets that were on sale at Uniqlo one or two mths back. haha.


    5/30/10

    jennifer -- I guess they are the same, I wore my bestie's shades then I think. But the lens color is totally different, and mine are bigger...
    haha, I don't stay that near town, but near enough for a 60 min brisk walk.

    Ah~ I agree that wearing shades really distracts the fact that we're not wearing MU... Or otherwise, I'll equip myself with nerdy glasses, it also kinda screen off my dark circles.. hhaax~
    Like the shades~ I've got one that is in brown, now thinking maybe I could get one in pink too like yours for the stylish look~

    That's a cute top! The sleeves do add a nice touch.
    I use that shades trick too when I'm not in the to throw on makeup. Just pop on shades and go, especially if we're going to be out and about anyway.

    that blouse looks gorgeous on u! me luv my ray bans too.. classic kinda shades!


    5/31/10

    birki - heh. I am pretty broad shouldered myself, but I guess the crew cut neckline and longish bodice kind of balance everything out. Smiling

    Ohh, this top is out for my, capped sleeves nooo, the longer the sleeves the better! At least mid upper arm for me. At least you jog there and take a bus back, I cannot imagine jogging there and having to jog back! What do you carry with you when you jog? I like my hands to be as free as possible!


    6/01/10

    Kim - I just have my ipod and ez-link card.. heh. but it's been way too long ago!!

    6/04/10

    Hahaha, ok, I thought you carried a bit more coz you have to hold on to your ez link card. I have no pockets in my shorts when I jog so if I do that, I'll have to carry something extra. I try to jog near home, so that I can go home anytime I want, haha
