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 Clarins Total Cleansing Oil

    Available in June 2012, $50 each.

     

    “Cleansing is the most frequent, most repeated skin care step which influences the effectiveness of products applied afterwards.”

    Jacques Courtin-Clarins, Clarins founder. 

     

    Make-up has changed and so has make-up removal 

    Long-hold foundations, new make-up rich in coloured pigments and fine pearl, mineral sunscreens: today’s beauty products are increasingly long-wearing. Cleansing, the essential beauty step according to Clarins, must keep up with these cosmetic advances.

    Today, Clarins launches Total Cleansing Oil, an innovation resulting from three areas of expertise:

    • Cleansing expertise

    Clarins has always adapted its cleansers to all skin types and all needs, thanks to a very wide product range.

    • Skin care using oils since 1965

    Clarins was a forerunner by creating its 100% Plant Oils

    • The best plant extracts

    Rigorously selected and analyzed to obtain their most precious elements.

    An exceptional formula designed for Asian women

    Total cleansing

    Clarins has taken into account the changes in make-up and UV protection products and created a high-performance, high-tolerance cleanser which eliminates even the most resistant make-up. 

    The combination of two organic plant oils:

    perilla oil and olive oil

    One is from Asia, the other from Mediterranean Europe. Both are widely recognized since Antiquity for their cosmetic properties, antioxidant virtues and high content of essential fatty acids. By combining these two 100% organic oils, Clarins Research offers Asian women the most effective cleanser, in perfect affinity with the skin. The skin is perfectly cleansed and clean, without being aggressed. 

     

    A very high-performance cleanser

    The comfort of an oil

    Very fine, with a wonderful feel, Total Cleansing Oil glides into every corner of the skin’s micro-relief. Its high-tech oil texture is specially designed to quickly dissolve all oily residues and impurities. It effectively traps even the most adherent particles which resist classic cleansers.

    The fresh feel of water

    Then on contact with water, the oil transforms into a fresh, milky emulsion which carries away all traces of make-up, even waterproof formulas, and pollution and anti-UV sunscreens. Very easy to rinse off, it leaves no oily traces on the skin.

    Unrivalled beauty result

    Thanks to Total Cleansing Oil, skin is quickly and easily fresh and perfectly clean again, while remaining supple. It is now ready to fully benefit from skin care products applied afterwards. 

    Extremely gentle

    The skin’s hydrolipidic film is protected

    Traditionally, olive oil was used in the Mediterranean on the fine, fragile skin of newborns. In the formula of Total Cleansing Oil, the combination of olive oil and perilla oil rich in essential fatty acids preserves the skin’s hydrolipidic film. There is no feeling of tightness but instant softness and comfort.

    The Clarins Cleansing Method

    Faithful to its philosophy, Clarins recommends a Cleansing Method which is easy to carry out and combines effectiveness and sensoriality on application. 

     

    I hope you find this sharing helpful.  I will try to follow up with a review entry soon enough.
