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 Nip+Fab Launching at Watsons [Photos & Information]

    Hi hi!

    Sharing with you a new range of body care products NIP+FAB which will be available exclusively at Watsons from 5 July 2012.  The prices are extremely affordable, for what the products are claiming to do.  I can't do any review yet, literally received everything just yesterday.  I just played with all of these briefly, and tested out the textures.  Overall, everything is very lightweight, and quickly absorbed.  The hand cream smells delicious, like vanilla coconut, and some of the tummy and cellulite creams have a slight tingling sensation.

    Here's the official information, and I also inserted pictures of my own, so you get a general idea of how the products look like:

     

    Beauty junkies in Singapore can now rejoice with the launch of NIP + FAB, the fabulous celeb-fave beauty range designed by beauty guru Maria Hazistefanis.

    Dubbed the sassy younger sister of premium cult beauty brand Rodial, NIP + FAB covers everything from basic skincare to serious body beauty-fying. The clinically tested range for both face and body is packed with breakthrough technology and delivers targeted treatments, from brightening and anti-ageing to skin smoothing and firming.

    A firm favourite among celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, Victoria Beckham, Sienna Miler, Kim Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Bosworth, NIP + FAB is already causing a frenzy in the beauty industry and flying off the shelves world-wide!

    Maria Hazistefanis, founder of Nip+Fab says, “I’m so excited to introduce our amazing Nip+Fab range to Singapore, including the UK bestselling wrinkle buster Frown Fix + ab sculpting gel Tummy Fix. These fantastic, targeted products provide specific skin + bodycare solutions in double quick time, with minimum fuss and without the expense. I hope Singapore will be as excited as I am about this fantastic range”

    BUST FIX- S$29.90, 100ml

    Improve the appearance of your cleavage with Bust Fix from celeb-fave brand Nip + Fab. This light serum visibly plumps, smoothes and firms the skin around the bust and décolleté, while improving tonicity and firmness - ideal for skin which has lost elasticity.

    Other active ingredients mangosteen and essential cell-boost factor reshape, sculpt and smooth for an all-round firmer bust!

    KEY BENEFITS

    1. Activation of lipid accumulation (in vitro) – Lipogenesis (formation of fat) in human adipocytes (fat cells)

    This non-sticky gel contains CellActive®- SHAPE, a complex enriched with a powerful combination of Indian forskolin and natural caffeine to burn and eliminate fat cells. Plus the Essential Cell Boost-Factor to help activate fat breakdown, promote the removal of waste substances and improve tissue firmness So treat yourself to Cellulite Fix this Summer for noticeably smoother and dimple-free legs you can dare to bare!

    HOW IT WORKS

    1. Stimulation of lipolytic activity (release of fatty acids from fat cells)
