Zelens Z Pure Cleansing Liquid Balm

  I’m on such a cleansing kick at the moment, it’s not even funny. Luckily there are some amazing cleansers around right now, and from some great brands too, so I’m actually quite happy about this!  I’ve been dying to try Z Pure Cleansing Balm, from one of my favourite brands; Zelens, since before it was released, and I eventually gave up waiting for my […]

Clinique Turnaround Revitalising Instant Facial

For me, Clinique are really knocking it out of the park at the moment – you might have noticed I’ve reviewed a fair few of their products recently – and they’ve just added an entirely new skincare range: “Turnaround”, to their line. To me it looks really interesting, as it is for skin with has lost some luminosity through stress or other factors.  Well, colour […]

May Lindstrom: The Blue Cocoon: Beauty Balm Concentrate

I am always being asked what my “major skin concern” is.  Why, I’m not quite sure, but it is, apparently, one of the perils of being a beauty blogger. I’m not nearly that bothered about ageing as I used to be, having met a few too many over-botoxed harridans in my time, and I now see wrinkles as a badge of character instead of the […]

Deep Down: DHC Pore Cleansing Oil

By Laurin Here is a list of instances in which I will notice a pore on someone else’s face: When they point them out to me. Oh, actually, not even then. I bring this up because the product I’m reviewing this week, DHC Pore Cleansing Oil, claims to make pores less visible. I’m going to ignore this claim because other than squinting really hard at […]

ARK Skincare Derriere Facial

  By Laurin When I first agreed to contribute to Get Lippie at the beginning of this year, I imagined filing some light-hearted musings on perfume each week, maybe with a few words on moisturiser here and there. I did not expect to spend my mornings rollerballing napalm onto my bottom, or my evenings applying thigh creams that caused my flesh to stick together like […]

Colbert MD Skincare

By Luke Whenever a leading member in the field of dermatology brings out a skincare range, more often than not it’s a good one. This is good news, because no self respecting member of the strict regulatory bodies that govern this particular field of expertise (such as Dr Colbert), is going to put their name to something that is a) bad for your skin, and […]

A Lippie Team Post – Skincare Routines

We’re planning a number of these group posts, but we thought we’d start with the basics, so here’s how the whole team at Get Lippie looks after their skin: LOUISE (aka “Get Lippie”) My skincare routine has been kind of fixed for a while now – to the extent that one of the products is running out and I’m upset because current circumstances dictate that […]

Caudalie Polyphenol C15 Skincare

    By Luke It is with some irony that I write this with one mother of a hangover. Despite the warnings, I am partial to a glass or five of wine, and hang the consequences. So, imagine my delight when I read the press information for the new skincare range from super affordable (and rather excellent) skincare brand Caudalie on how damaging the effects […]

Empties!

By Get Lippie I’m having one of those weeks when all my favourite skin care items run out at the same time, and it’s INFURIATING! Champneys Spa Skin Super Rich Cleansing Balm: Slightly grainy (and a little exfoliating as a result), I took this pot of balm on my honeymoon with me because I didn’t want to use a chemical exfoliator, what with their sun-sensitivity […]

Sampar 3 Day Weekend

With the imminent good weather and sunshine – it is coming, it HAS to be! – and me being an OCD freak about not letting ANY sun on my skin WHATSOEVER (I can’t afford the wrinkles), practically everything I put on my face has SPF. Sampar, if you haven’t heard of them (and I certainly hadn’t until recently) are a French skincare company. They’re available […]
