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.

    MEGA Haul !

    Hi hi,

    Guess my surprise when I came home just now and found these 2 packages waiting for me to rip open!   I shan't ramble on... it is late, and I think my brain cells are dying on me as I am typing this.

    Firstly, we have the Lorraine necklace.  I bought the sterling silver in 42".  And you can click HERE to find out more about the sale.

    This tee, btw, I grabbed it at Zara today.  Random!!

    And in the other package, it's a pair of cell phone covers -- one for me and one for my sister..... I bought them online from this ebayer.  soooo Bling, so pimping, and tacky....me likey!!  Each costs US$17.99 and FREE INTL SHIPPING!!!

    And this last item is random.... was about to leave, and chanced upon this NIXON stylish earphones!!  They have an array of colors.. I choose the black & silver one.  This earphones retails for S$69.  And you can find them at Wavehouse (sentosa), and TANGS.

    Ok..... thanks for reading, and if you have any questions, leave a comment! :p

    The phone covers are so pimped and pretty! The black one is so cool, the black portion almost looks like snake skin from the photos. Oh you know the other day I went to apple to look at headsets, they have this noise reduction one that I thought was darn cool. Like you seriously can't hear much background noises when you have it on but it costs a whopping 200 or 300 bucks!

    Cool stuff you got there. Wanna ask regarding the earphones. Are they good? I have bought countless of earphones and they konk-ed on me everytime. Some are branded ones and some just random. And how's the sound quality so far?

    i have a necklace that is very similar to yours Smiling i love the cell phone covers, very stylish and in your face Smiling

    diana - I was looking around for pimpin' phone covers that didn't cost the heaven and earth...and I thought these were going at rather reasonable rates... even some phone shops I went tto, they say quite hard to find in SG (unless you want to fork out $200++) for the swaroski (sp?) crystal ones... which is ridiculous...

    debx & makeupgeeek - yup the sound quality is pretty decent, it sounds like my original ipod/ BB earphones.... it also has a gold plug which is supposedly better sound quality too, but I really got it for the 'look' than anything else.. yup, that's my shallow reason... it also comes in another version which has the earpiece for you to pick up your calls (for iphone users) but thats like $169~

    LOL! me didnt think that you wld be into bling bling as well, u frankly don't look like the type..hehe! The phone cover looks great!!!


    1/27/10

    amyrleex - I am not the greatest fan of bling, but the occasional bout/ more like overdose here, is OK.. and I can remove the cover anytime I feel they overwhelm me. That prolly explains why I am not spending a fortune on it too. LOL. Sticking out tongue
