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.

    NEW Clarins Shaping Lift Range [Photos & Information]

     

    Available August 2012 

    Refine facial contours and reveal all of the expressive beauty of Asian women...

    Following Shaping Facial Lift, the first and only serum to promote balanced facial volumes for a perfect V-shaped contour from every angle, Clarins launches two new pioneer products, specially dedicated to Asian women:

    Defining Eye Lift

    The first product to help relieve heavy-looking eyelids, drain and brighten the eye contour.

    Shaping Facial Lift Wrap

    Based on Clarins Beauty Institute expertise, this is a quick way to help reduce a puffy appearance linked to water retention. 

    Defining Eye Lift Relieves eyelid puffiness

    1. An immediate ‘lift’ effect
    followed by a triple lightening, draining and brightening action.

    2. An oil-free formula
    that is colorant-free and ophthalmologist tested.

    3. A patented application method
    inspired by Shaping Facial Lift’s Manual Auto-Lifting® Method. 

    See brighter, more open eyes in just 4 weeks!*

    *Test carried out on 34 Asian women.    

    Finally, an answer to a need that has yet to be met! For the first time, Defining Eye Lift takes into account three causes that affect
    the natural, expressive beauty of Asian eyes: the effacement of the upper eyelid, slower drainage linked to lifestyle, and an uneven skin tone.

    The expert product that reveals all of the beauty of Asian eyes.

    To minimize the natural heaviness of the eyelids,
    an immediate ‘lift’ effect followed by a targeted lightening action

    . Oat sugars form an invisible, skin-tightening ‘veil’ on the skin’s surface that gently pulls the eyelid up.

    . A combination of caffeine and dextran sulfate enhances the removal of excess lipids and slows down their accumulation again while minimizing the risk of irritation on the eyelids. 

     

    A reinforced draining action helps avoid occasional puffiness

    . Dextran sulfate reduces the appearance of ‘puffy’ eyes by stimulating
    the removal of water which has accumulated in tissues due to a horizontal sleeping position, heat or even stress.

    . Extracts of organic ginkgo biloba and maritime pine help prevent the accumulation of water in skin tissues by boosting microcirculation.

    A brightening action promotes a clearer, more even eye contour

    . Alchemilla extract limits the transfer of melanin pigments to cells in the epidermis in order to reduce the natural darkening of the eye contour.

    . Extracts of organic ginkgo biloba and maritime pine have an action on microcirculation to help reduce the appearance of dark circles linked to fatigue. 

     

    Clinically-proven results: Eyes appear more open after four weeks.

    Shaping Facial Lift Wrap Retracting effect

    1. In 10 minutes, a visible retracting effect
    coupled with hydrating, brightening and matifying actions.

    2. A rich, creamy, mousse-like texture makes application a real treat.

    3. A draining technique
    pampers the skin for optimized results. 

    Instantly see less puffy features!*

    *Test carried out on 35 Asian women.    

    Even thin faces can experience a ‘heavy’ look and features that are not well defined. Why does this happen? Excess water in the skin tissue is the reason. Better than a simple mask, Shaping Facial Lift Wrap was inspired by Clarins Institute treatments. In 10 minutes, it helps reposition facial features and restores a more refined appearance.

    A double ‘water-reducing’ action helps reduce and prevent puffiness

    . Chinese barley has draining properties and helps remove excess water that has accumulated in tissues.

    . Ginkgo biloba extract helps prevent new puffiness from setting in: by protecting blood capillaries, it limits their permeability, at the origin of water leaks toward skin tissues.

    Hydrating, brightening and matifying actions help wake up skin’s radiance and ensure its comfort

    . Christophine extract, a fruit originally from South America, hydrates and softens the skin’s surface.

    . Parsley extract helps regulate melanogenesis thereby brightening the complexion. . White clay absorbs impurities and excess oil. It also has an astringent effect

     

    and finally, the Shaping Facial Lift Lipo-drain serum - the star product, which I have introduced here:

    A daily serum which reduces excess lipids in the cheeks, chin and facial oval to refine the face from the front as well as the profile.

    It also helps enhance younger-looking, more beautiful features. 

     

    Price Information

    Shaping Facial Lift $102

    Defining Eye Lift $82

    Shaping Facial Lift Wrap $75

     

    I will try to follow up with a review/ swatches feature entry.  

     

    Hope this is informative.  Thank you for reading.
