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.

    Tag: What's in my iPhone?

    Hi hi!

    I came across this tag on YouTube... where people just go through stuff in their iphones.. or any phones you are using.  I must confess I am a iphone nut...it keeps me occupied when I am bored, distracting me during meetings, valuable source of information, fantastic camera and a whole host of un-useless applications.  And yes, to make phone calls with.. haha. 

    My phone screen picture is a Dior eyeshadow/ powder thing, which you can easily download if you have the Dior application.  It is simple, clean and doesn't mess up the background.  I don't jailbreak my phone, so no fancy customised icons and functions... 

    Some stuff on my iphone 'pages' - I try to organise stuff into folders, but I must confess, I am not the most organised person when it comes to the folders.  Only 2 or 3 folders are really organised, because those are my most used applications. 

    Okay, so my current phone is the iphone4 32GB which I bought last March.  I think I can change phone in March 2013, and hopefully by then the new iphone will be out, and steady, and I can change to that.  I don't think I will use other phone models after the iphone, old habits die hard, and all my "i-devices" are so effortlessly synced, if I switch to another phone, it would cause some chaos in my life - exaggeration yes, but very true! 

    I am quite lazy when it comes to updating my apps.  And when I do, I normally only update the apps I most the most often, like Whatsapp, and Instagram, and some camera applications. 

    This is the second page, where it gets a little random.  A bunch of fitness apps, games, fashion apps (for watching shows, and looking at images, etc), work apps, and more photography apps which I don't use as much.   Plus a few random apps that got accidentally synced and/or downloaded into my iphone because sometimes my bro and sis use my itunes icon to download stuff. 

    I only load 6 - 8 episodes of videos in my iphone, don't want to take up too much space, and I was crazy about watching The Vampire Diaries at one point, probably last month... and I watch it wherever I go, on the train, at the gym etc.  But I have finished all 3 seasons, and currently I am not watching anything. 

    My itunes - a random mixture of songs, old ones, new ones, electronic dance ones.... I recenly started purchasing some songs on the local itunes... it's not bad, easy to buy, and great if you just want to get one to two tracks. 

    iBooks?  No books there, but a few PDF files, press kits, my TW itinerary! 

    My camera roll is filled with nothing but lots of nail polish swatches, food, and places I been to. 

    and I don't like to sync my photos to my iphoto, so all 3000+ of them are crammed inside my phone,

    and I delete a whole bunch from time to time. 

    A look inside some of the folders... 

    This is where I keep a bunch of 'fashiony' stuff.  

    That Dior icon is that one with all the Dior HQ updates, and pictures where you can download and use and your phone wallpapers. 

    Most used camera applications....

    picfx, frame magic, snapseed.

    I usually purchase the full version for all the functions and whatnots.

    and of course, Instagram!  I love instagram! :) 

    I tag everyone, if you would like to do the same tag!  

    Thanks for reading!

    Happy Weekend!
