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 Ettusais Oil Block Goodies & UV Aqua Splash

     

    This summer, Ettusais releases 3 new products to battle the heat and keep us cool and pretty throughout the day.  

     

    Firstly, we have the Ettusais Aqua Splash UV SPF25 PA+++  [40ml, S$29]

    This makes sunblock touch up possible - it is a sunscreen mist that is moisturising and helps to prevent shine, without messing up makeup. 

    There is no white cast to the mist, and it dries clear.  There is no sticky afterfeel (and so true, because I have tested it on my face and hands).  

    This is due to new technology which is able to emulsify UV protection products into a clear liquid.  The UV spray contains moisturising ingredients (hyaluronic acid, rosemary extract) and minerals (magnesium, postassium) to help prevent skin roughness caused by UV rays. 

    The spray can also be used as a makeup base, which will enhance the adhesion of foundation.  It also blocks sebum, and prevents large pores - the chamomile extract gives an astringent effect and inhibits excess sebum production.  Rosemary also prevent the festering of bacteria in the skin.  The sebum balancing ingredient also prevent enlarged pores. 

    The spray also smells of a faint floral scent - relaxing effect, no icky sun-block smell at all.  

    The UV spray has a non-comedogenic formula, and is dermatologist tested, colorant free, gentle on the skin, and uses 100% purified water. 

    Next, we have the Ettusais oil block jelly - a limited edition release - it is a special jelly that keeps shine and pores hidden.  

    Ettusais Oil Block Jelly [15g S$27]

    It blots away shine, and prevent the look of oily excess sebum with Vitamin B6, an astringent agent.  It also blots away shine with Sebum Absorbing Powder.  The oil block jelly also hides pores, with the light reflecting Pore Shadow Powder, and prevents large pores and acne with Loquant Leaf Extract.  The oil block jelly is also acne friendly - because it is a gentle formulation, oil free, fragrance free, colorant free, and contains 100% refined water.  It can be used before or after makeup.  If you are using this as a touch up, blot the face with paper before applying.

     

    And last but not least, we have the Ettusais Aqua Splash OB - which is an oil-blotting paper and astringent lotion in ONE product.  It is a powder in mist that fixes fading makeup by blotting away oil and touching up with just a spritz. 


     Ettusais Aqua Splash OB [40ml, S$29]

    This is a new and improved formula:

    1. Micro powder for a finer makeup finish 
    2. Astringent Effect (rosemary extract) - also good for preventing the formation and reproduction of bacteria on the skin
    3. Refreshing sensation and grapefruit scent 
    4. Prevents enlarged pores (Sebum Balancing Ingredient) - Glycylgycine - which blocks unsaturated fatty acids which is the cause of open pores

     

    Shake the container well before use, to mix the powder into the mist.  

     

     

    I hope you find this sharing helpful.  I will try to follow up with a review entry soon enough.

    I'm interested to find out how the Aqua Splash will work out. Blotting and misting in one product sounds so magical! Lol
