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.

    Superdrugs Haul Part 2 (Barry M)

    Hi again, the title is self explanatory...click here for part 1 and part 3.

    I was super excited to get the blushers from Barry M, and the colors did not dissappint.  I am not swatching most of the products, because I am not not sure if they are going to be gifts, or watever... but from swatches online, they are very pigmented.

     

     

    And who can resist the Barry M lip paints??

     

    And lastly, we have the nail paints:

    That's all, and part 3 coming!

    they gave some long story about AVS (the credit card address verification service) is not available for certain international card transactions because of language barriers and other issues.

    I den request them to verify the credit card thru CV2 den, but no reply so far. =.=

    mine got canceled too! but i think it's because of the excessive order of nail paints because second batch order was successful. i was so looking forward to try the lip paint and nail paints. Sad

    Sophia, is number 3 the raspberry blush?


    12/01/09

    kas - I just checked the website, #3 is Strawberry and #4 is Raspberry Eye-wink Gosh...I was actually about to pass Amy my Barry M haul list, then I decided to stick to getting my sis to buy cos I had already given her the cash..

    yea we are unlucky! anyways there might be some good news on the way, i am talking to Barry M to see if we can work things out. i am keeping my fingers crossed!


    12/01/09

    amy - good luck!! if it is any consolation, they MIGHT just make some provisions...to share a little related story, I once ordered from a US site (Piperlime - before they have intl shipping) I entered my card details and entered a US address of a relative of mine, they gave me excuses like must be a US card etc etc... but in the end I managed to convince them, that I am buying a present for my relative, so please make the exception?? And in the end they were able to do so, and send my haul to my relative, who sent it to me in SG (FOC) haha. So.... I hope Barry M would do the same... Heck... they should start retailing here in SG, I can see their counters all set up in TOPSHOP or River Island etc.. haha.
