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.

    Haul: I Love to Dress up my iPhone!

    I am one of those people [and many of you too I think] who like to switch up phone covers from time to time.  I prefer these rubbery/ silicon type, because they are easy to slip on and out without much effort, doesn't cause any scratches [those hard casing are quite a pain to get off, and I always think the sides of the phone will be scratched if you aren't careful].  Besides these rubbery casings give my phone some friction and grip, so my phone doesn't just 'slip' out of my hands.   Plus if I drop my phone, the rubbery casing absorbs the shock too.

    The first is a hot pink Crocs Adrina cover [S$17.95 at Crocs stores].  I really like  the design of this -- have the matching shoes too.  It is really solid despite the jelly like appearance.  I have a  protector at the back of my phone too, so I am not worried about the 'holes' of this cover exposing my phone to potential scratchy situations.

    The next one is a Marc Jacobs cover - which I ordered from Shopbop for USD38.  I like the panther motif of the cover, and it is just something quite fun to have.  It is really quite bad cos I always browse shopbop time to time on the lookout for new iphone cases!  Right now I have my eyes set on two more....but I think I shall wait a bit before I make up my mind!


    This is the artist credits behind the motif of the MJ phone case.

    I really like the front of the casing to be as 'shallow' as possible, as shown in this pic below.  It doesn't get in the way of my gaming action.

    As compared to this one that really 'frames' the perimeter of the phone case [this is the one with the white lips motif]

    My little stash of phone casings so far.

    I know it is a splurge to buy these designer rubber accessories, but I think it is totally worth it,because I am always on my phone, holding it, using it, these covers do a good job of making sure my phone doesn't fall apart!  And they are also an extension of my style/ outfit/ personality, so yup, I think I will continue to buy more when I see new designs.  :)


    That's all and thanks for looking!
