FAQ & DISCLAIMER

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.

    July 2012 Bellabox - Around the World!

    Hi!

    It's time for Bellabox again, and July's box is a selection of beauty products from across the globe.  There is also a little bit of neon, and a little gift (which you can see, that lipstick which is actually a pen).  3 lucky subscribers will actually stand to receive a T&Co. gift inside their box.  I was so impressed with June's box, so I am very curious to see what this month's box brings. 

    There is a slight change in BB's delivery system - they have switched from Singpost to a courier service - my box came on a Sunday, and I must have been napping at home (and I was definitely at home), for I wasn't aware that the delivery had arrived, and I only found the delivery slip at my door on Monday morning.  I quickly called for a re-delivery, and my box came on Monday evening.  So that was all quite efficient, in my experience at least. 

    Let's take a look at what's inside the box:

    (I think some subcribers should be receiving the L'egere Healthy Facial Treatment Skin Conditioner, and the Platinum Hologram Illuminating Hydro Cream Base - but I got this pair of Organix shampoo & conditioner)

    Organix Brazilian Keratin Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner 

    LONDON - Jimmy Choo Fragrance 

    A floral fruity combination of green top notes with tea rose, exotic Tiger Orchid, and Cedarwood.  The EDP is more sensual adding sweet Italian Orange and Indonesian Patchouli to this elixir. 

    CALIFORNIA - Twistbands 

    I like the Twistbands - picked a couple up myself in the BB afterwork gathering - I do find them to be gentle on my hair, and yet it doesn't look too shabby.  A set of 3 goes for $6.50. 

    JAPAN - SK-II 

    For more than 30 years, SK-II has brought many women new, breakthrough technology and product innovation that have been widely acclaimed in Asia and around the world. This is a sampler set consisting of:

    Facial treatment gentle cleanser 

    Cellumination Mask-in Lotion

    Facial Treatment Essence 

    Cellumination Deep Surge 

    KOREA - Skinmiso Pore Beauty Nose Pack

    This mask will help you get rid of black and whiteheads in the comfort of your own home.  With a simple 3 step process you can reveal perfect skin and help ensure it stays that way. 

    BONUS - Bellabox Lipstick Pen 

    I love this!!  

    And the vouchers and information sheets: 

    July's box offers everything a little bit of everything in terms of skincare, it is not of the same bumper quality, but I think the T&Co. surprise got everyone quite excited, and looking forward to this month's delivery.  Among this set of products, I am most curious to try out the shampoo and conditioner...cos there's so much rave online about the whole Keratin/ Brazilian blowout treatment... hoping the hairproducts would keep my locks sleek and healthy too. 

    The Bellabox team also enclosed this picture of us goofing about at the afterwork event a couple of weeks ago - which is really thoughtful:
