Christopher Drummond and Sue Devitt FotD

I’ve spoken of my love of “no-colour” makeup before.  This morning I was going for a totally neutral but slightly sunkissed look (so tired of it being dull and grey outside, so brought some sunshine to my makeup!), and so I reached for: Christopher Drummond Veludo foundation in Fair Christopher Drummond Finishing powder in Branco Christopher Drummond Radiance Booster in Saude Pele Sue Devitt Eyeshadow […]

Nail of the Day – OPI Crimsun

 Yes, it’s another Holographic polish, but this is one I’m a little disappointed in …  Application was exceedingly sheer, meaning I still have visible nail lines, and … it’s pink. Not this orange shade you see here under my halogen lights, and not the crimson you assume from the name.  It’s pink.  Fuschia-pink under most lights.  Not a bad colour, as it happens, but not […]

Organic Wednesday – NEOM Candles

Candles.  Oh, how I love candles!  Jonathan Ward, Kenneth Turner and now NEOM, I love them all …  was especially delighted when I found out this week that NEOM are expanding their fragrance library to 12 this March with the addition of two new varieties of candle. Serenity, which has hints of vanilla and sandalwood and about which NEOM say: “For the ultimate piece of […]

Organic Wednesday – Dr Bronner vs Method

Doing things slightly differently this week – haven’t done a side by side comparison for a while, so I thought I’d do one now. I’ve mentioned how much I like Dr Bronner soaps before and they have a new one available from their Shikakai range, and in this trial, I’m using the peppermint version – I’m a sucker for peppermint: And in the clear corner, […]

Onix Blowdry – Two Months on …

Most of my readers now that before Christmas I had a three month blowdry at Comptons, and I loved it.  I gave a follow up post a little later but after a few requests, I thought it was time I gave an update on how it looks now.  Going back to the picture I took of my hair on Saturday, this is how it looks […]

Frontcover

I know a lot of people really like Frontcover boxes, which are available at Boots. A little bird has told me that they’re re-releasing their infamous Rainbow box of eyeshadow shades on 25th February.  Originally released for Christmas 2008, they were a sell-out and quickly became a cult item. Boxes contain 25 shadows, applicators and a “Shadowline” which turns any eyeshadow into a liquid liner. […]

Review – Perricone MD Cold Plasma

Oh, bad reviews pain me, they really do … At a blogger event recently, we were given a jar each of Perricone MD Cold Plasma cream to take away and try for ourselves.  As it retails for approximately £120 a jar, I was pretty excited to get this, as I knew one of my housemates would adore to try it. Perricone MD are very proud […]

Valentine lip colour

Mr Lippie and I went out for dinner last night, and this was the make up look I created for the occasion (forgive the crappy iPhone pic): It’s a very clean and simple look, consisting of foundation, blusher, some black eyeliner and mascara, and, of course, a red lipstick. A couple of people asked me what the lip colour was, and it’s something I mixed […]

Bourjois Event

I don’t know how well my blogging about events I’ve attended fits with Get Lippie (my idea behind the blog is that  it’s all about the products and if they work or not, rather than about me) but I figured I’d tell you about this one, and see how well – or not – it goes down. Anyway, last Saturday, along with a couple of […]

Review – Liz Earle

Liz Earle were kind enough to send me some of their products to try out recently, I thought it was about time I had a fresh look at the brand, so was happy to give them the once over.  Here’s what I thought of their basic skin-care products. Cleanse and Polish  I first tried C&P about 10 years ago, and I remember not loving it […]

Organic Wednesday – Balm Balm

My love for lipbalms is well known worldwide (seriously, I don’t think Badger have forgiven me for kicking up such a fuss about Chai Rose yet, but they’re still lovely people! And lovely balms too), so I thought I might be forgiven for talking about yet another one that I really like. BalmBalm I love, because unlike a lot of organic companies, their labelling is […]

Review – Philip Kingsley Elasticiser

I was recently invited to a PR event where we were introduced to look at some new brands, and one of the products we were invited to try was this pre-shampoo treatment for dry hair from Philip Kingsley. I’ll be honest, I thought Philip Kingsley was a celebrity hairdresser, and I was a bit embarrassed to discover that he’s actually a trichologist (and has been […]
