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.

    Pibble Polish: Faithful Friend [Photos & Swatches]

    Hi hi!

    Today, I am sharing with you another indie brand nail polish, Pibble Polish - unique nail polishes inspired by rescued dogs everywhere.  Being a dog lover, this really hits a soft spot with me.  I picked the shade called Faithful Friend.  It is pretty awesome.  I have swatched it twice, and twice I am blown away by the quality of this glitter polish. 

    It is very very smooth, given the densely packed glitter bits.  There are mainly two colors, a metallic blue and fuchsia - both hexagonal and square bits... and mixed with finer fuchsia bits.  One coat is all it takes for the glitter awesome-ness to transfer onto your nails, making them really sparkly.  
    I have chosen to feature Faithful Friend over a black base (typical) but you could find good pairings in a pastel blue, pink or even a white for more dramatic pop. 

    Each bottle of Pibble Polish contains 15ml of product, and retails for S$15 at Meimei's Signatures. (link)


    Check out the goodness of Faithful Friend: 


    and one more close up to show the amazing variety of glitter mix in the bottle. 


    And finally the swatches:  I tried to showcase the combination at different angles, because the fuchsia bits are quite hard to capture in my pictures.  The blue ones, just shows up without any problems. 




    I really love this glitter polish, and seriously..if there is one shade you wish to try out from Pibble Polish - go for Faithful Friend. 

    I came across other swatches on this nailblog here - helpful in doing your indie polish research - and the pictures and swatches are beautiful. 

    I hope my swatches and review has been helpful, thanks for reading!
