Skincare of the Week 12 June 2016

I’ve been on a blog-hiatus. It wasn’t intended, but it just sort of happened, and, I have to admit, I’ve rather enjoyed it.  I’m just now entering my eighth year of blogging (you read that right), so that’s seven years of Sunday afternoons that I’ve spent at my computer,which equates to nearly a solid YEAR of taking pictures, editing pictures (always the worst part, tbh), […]

Finishing Touches: #LipsNspritz of the Week 15 May 2016

The weather is warming up – finally! – and I’ve been needing to concentrate this last week, so light and zesty fragrances were the order of the day, and this week I wore: Lemon by Mary Greenwell, a citrus-chypre, which is surprisingly long-lasting, which I paired with Guerlain Rouge G Rouge Parade, a limited edition red-pink from Christmas 2014.  On Tuesday, I thought I’d chance […]

Skincare of the Week 15th May 2016

Last week was a really stressful one, with deadlines and auditors galore, I’m still recovering! Hopefully now both the house move and the audit are over, I’ll have a little more time free to do some blogging and cataloguing my collection of … stuff.  I’ve had a few new releases recently too, and I’ll get around to photographing them soon.  Anyhoo, skincare-wise, I’ve been a […]

GOSH Forever Matte Eyeshadow Stick – 10 Twisted Brown

Doesn’t look very exciting, does it?  One taupe eyeshadow pencil, all alone there.  But trust me, for £6.29 this GOSH Forever Matte Eyeshadow Stick  might just change your (makeup applying life).  Eyeshadow pencils are nothing new, in fact, I’ve acquired so many great pencils over the course of the last 12 months or so that I’ve barely bothered applying powder eyeshadow at all, to be […]

Beuti Skincare – Beauty Sleep Elixir

I don’t normally do this, so I hope you will forgive me, just this once.  It’s exceedingly rare that I feature a skincare product after less than a month (minimum) of use, but this little bottle of golden elixir, Beuti Skincare’s Beauty Sleep Elixir appears to be quite magical. If you’ve been a Get Lippie reader for a while, you’ll know I’m prone to both […]

Finishing Touches (#LipsNspritz) of the Week 2nd May 2016

 Bright reds and dark berries, plus one glorious pink this week, alongside some classic fragrances too. Top left were the gorgeous white flowers of Narciso  For Her, which is a fragrance I love a great deal, and could even smell it slightly through my parosmia last year, which always grants a special place in my heart for a fragrance. I wore this on Friday with […]

Skincare of the week 2nd May 2016

I’m trialling a couple of new bits and pieces at the moment, mostly from Zelens.  The new pieces I’ve added to my routine are the Zelens Power D Treatment Drops, which I’ve been adding to my serums this week for a lovely antioxidant boost, and I’ve been using them alongside the Zelens Hydra Shiso Balancing Moisturiser too.  Loving the treatment drops, but I really need […]

Skincare of the Week 17 April 2016

I’m still playing “Eenie, meenie, minie, mo” with my skincare at the moment, luckily, it’s all tried and tested stuff that I know works with my skin, so there’s been no irritation, in spite of my background level of stress still being on the high side (year end will do that to you).  Mostly this week, I’ve been welcoming back Kate Somerville Goat Cream – […]

LipsNspritz of the Week 10/04/2016

I have been parted from my favourite lipsticks for far too long* now, and have spent this week doing a random kind of “lucky dip” with my pot of “second favourite” lipsticks, which I keep stored in a lego storage case as compensation.  Truly, I am one of the coolest people on earth, let’s face it.  I love my lego-head storage though … Monday morning […]

Skincare of the Week 10/04/2016

It’s taken me a while, but I’ve finally managed to get my broadband connected, and unpack some skincare!  Moving to a new house is always stressful, but I had somehow managed to schedule my move for the beginning of a new financial year, and the end of my probationary period at work.  As I’m an accountant, April is a pretty busy month anyway, but … […]

Guerlain Meteorites Base and Meteorites Perles Primer comparison

Guerlain recently reissued their Meteorites Perles Light Diffusing Perfecting Primer as Meteorites Base. I just happen to have a bottle of each, so I thought a comparison might be useful.  In the picture above, the bottle on the left is the original and on the right is the new version.  Both bottles contain 30mls. On first sight, the major difference is the colour of the […]
