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 5 years ago to share my love for makeup, 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, and about 1.5 million as of Nov 2011.

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.

    Revlon Lip Butters: Cotton Candy, Macaroon & Peach Parfait [Photos & Swatches]

    Hi hi!

    More Revlon Lip Butters in this entry.  I gotten one at Watsons when the range was launched (we only have 8 of the 12 or 20 shades available) and it's Macaroon, which I have been told it's a UK exclusive shade.  Apparently not anymore.. since we have it here! :)

    The last time I blogged about the Revlon Lip Butters, I featured Red Velvet & Creamsicle [link here] and these shades didn't make it to Singapore.  I got two more from my latest US swap in the shades Cotton Candy (the very name of it, makes me want to own it!) and Peach Parfait which you can find here.

    In terms of texture, I find that the Revlon Lip Butters are the most comparable to the Clarins Hydra Nude range of lipsticks.   They provide some colour, and also feels really nice and buttery.  I also think that the paler shades are sheerer, while the darker shades like Red Velvet, Macaroon are quite pigmented and can easily pass of as a full fledged lipstick.  These typically last 2 - 3 hours on me, with the darker shades lasting maybe one hour longer.  Some of these shades - in particular, Macaroon & Peach Parfait - contain a little shimmer, which I hope my lip swatches can capture.

    For S$15.90, I think these are great value and everyone should own at least 2 or 3 (or 5!) in their stash!

     

    Photos & Swatches below:

    I think I have a good range of shades, the beigy nude, pinky nude, a my lips but better shade, and two darker intense shades...YAY!

     

    Hope this has been helpful, and thanks for looking!
