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.

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

    Little Fashion Haul from Bershka

    Hi hi!

    Wondering town after a gruelling day, had a much needed latte, and BK, and walked to ION for a bit, and saw the doors of bershka open!!  So I had to go in, it's like a funkier version of pull & bear, sizes run small though, I find. I really like their style, and always wanted to shop there ever since I went to the stores in Barcelona 3 yrs back.

    However I did manage to pick up a few items and I want to share with you. 1 big bag and i small bag.

    The star of today's buy is the faux leather jacket, in bomber style. The cut and details are very nice, in a glam rock way.  For $129, I think it's kind of reasonable - and it makes me look 10kg slimmer.  We love that!  Haha.  Besides, I think I can still get away with wearing it and not look ridiculous, and it goes with dresses, leggings, jeans etc etc.  Then I got 3 singlets - besides my stash of white tees - I can't stop buying singlets of various lengths and cuts.  These cost $11.90 each, and I got one each in Black (for my friend), Grey and White.  Then at the cashier, I saw this canvas bag, which I like to carry around to hold my random stuff, and it's $4.90.

    This is how the singlet looks like - I can even wear it jogging if I am wearing a sports bra under.

    The bag.  I like such bags, it's more presentable than those supermarket recycle bags or those nylon jappy types which costs a bomb.

    And I tried on the jacket with some dress at Zara later on, and here are the results:

    I like such faux leather jackets.... I wish we have cool weather all year around, it would be my everyday item.  I own one... but it is kind of too thick, and a little too big, but good for actually wearing during winter abroad cos I can layer all I need.  Case in point: this pic below, worn with 4 layers of clothes under the jacket.

    I heart Paris!!


    And this wraps up  my little fashion haul.  Thanks for reading!!

    Note to self: buy contest prizes this weekend!!!
