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.

    May 2012 Bellabox - Pamper yourself, Pamper Your Mum! [Photos & Overview]

    Nothing like the arrival of a monthly BellaBox to remind you that time is passing by so quickly!!

    It is already May, and we are almost halfway through the year.  Scary scary how time flies.  It seems like only last week I was writing Christmas entries, and welcoming the new year.

    This month's BellaBox is a Mother's Day Theme box, containing pampering products for you and mommy.  Everything is also bundled in this cute little cloth bag (good for containing travel products).

    Over the Mother's Day weekend, I spent an eventful two days, Saturday morning was spent doing express manicure with Kim, Amy & Jerlaine at a childcare centre, painting the fingernails of a group of mothers, with their little tods watching side by side.  Saturday evening, I spent with the family, at a BBQ, and painted the fingers of more mothers and aunties, and even my little niece.  Well, since I have my nail polish kit with me, why not, right?   On Sunday, my mom, sister and I went to JB, where we had our manicures and pedicures done.. quite a nice relaxing & pampering afternoon!

    But I digress.  So, what's in this month's Bellabox?
