Max Factor Giant Pen Sticks Launch Monday!

    *This post contains sponsored content* So, the day is finally almost here, and I thought I’d save my favourites of the new Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks till last, so here they are; Designer Blossom and Passionate Red:       As in the previous pairings, there’s one sheerer (Designer Blossom) and one more opaque shade, in this case, Passionate Red. […]

Shay & Blue: Atropa Belladonna Review

I do get a bit excited when I hear about a new perfume brand, and I get super-excited when I realise that it’s an affordable brand, albeit one with aspirations.  Niche perfumes are (in the main) lovely and amazing and wonderful, but I am aware that if I wasn’t a beauty blogger, very many of them would be beyond  my reach from a financial point […]

Max Factor Giant Pen Sticks Launch April First!

*This post contains sponsored content* In my post before last, I mentioned that Max Factor were launching their Giant Pen Sticks, and I gave you a little preview of two of the shades; Vibrant Pink and Hot Chocolate.  I’m back this week to show you two more, namely Princess Pink and Subtle Coral.  First a reminder of all the shades: I spoke to Caroline Barnes […]

Lippie’s Lust List #3 – Tweezerit Curve

 No, it’s not a flock of tiny glittery budgerigars, it’s actually a collection of shiny eyebrow tweezers from Tweezerit.co.uk Ergonomically designed, and extremely easy to use, even for those cack-handed muppets amongst us (that’ll be me, then), these are proving to be real contenders to my Tweezermans, owing to the easy to grip wider section nearer the tips. And they’re cute, too!  They cost £25 […]

Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm

Summer lip balms in a range of colours? Check. The usual suspect shades? You know, pink, green, orange and blue?  Check. Hang on, green and blue lip balms?  From Clarins?  I don’t think we’re in Kansas any more … And yet: They’re really, really, really gorgeous.  They’re also not really green and blue sadly, but this makes them not impossible to wear, as the surprisingly […]

Max Factor Colour Elixir Giant Pen Sticks Launch Soon

  This post contains sponsored content    I’ve had this glass of pretties on my desk for a while now, and, as they launch in a couple of weeks, I figured (I’m nice like that) it was time to tell you about them.  There’s a slew of  “podgy” products about at the moment, but Max Factor Giant Pen Sticks in the Colour Elixir range – […]

Deo Perfume Candy – Edible Deodorant?

Ever wanted to smell good enough to eat?  Well …   Now you can.  Kind of.  Possibly. Maybe!  We’re not sure. Anyway.  Cybercandy sent me this little box of Bulgarian Deo Candy, which contains rose extract (said, in Japanese studies, to be excreted in your sweat after ingestion) and claims to perfume your pits for up to six hours after munching!  Here at Lippie Towers, […]

Bobbi Brown Lilac Rose Eye Palette, Roza Polish and Lipglosses

It’s been a while since I’ve featured anything from Bobbi Brown, I realise, but the press release for the new Lilac Rose collection was so pretty I couldn’t resist … a reasonable-sized collection, consisting of a new shimmer brick, an eye palette, a polish and several lip colours, I’ve selected my picks of the collection to show you here. First off, the star of the […]

Clinique Even Better Foundation Review

I genuinely thought I’d already reviewed this, seeing as it was by far my favourite foundation released in 2012, but it appears not.  Oh well, better late than never, eh? Especially as this bottle is very nearly due for a replacement …  Housed in a neat dropper-style bottle (my favourite kind), Clinique Even Better foundation contains many of the same  ingredients as their Even Better […]

Boots Avert Electronic Cold Sore Machine

  There has been a plague upon the House of Lippie this winter, a veritable plague of cold-sores.  If you follow me on Twitter at all, you’ll know that barely a week has gone by for the last couple of months without me complaining about yet another crop of painful blisters.  Sorry about that by the way! Teal is simply THE colour for cold sores this […]

Lippie’s Lust List #1 Estee Lauder Mad Men Collection

It’s not often a collection makes my heart go pitty-pat these days (jaded, Moi?) but this retro-themed collection from Estee Lauder might just have managed it.  The blush compact and lipstick in particular have got my name all over them, and hey!  Mad Men.  Gotta love it.  Think this will be one of the most collectible make up sets in a long time … The […]
