I was sent these little lovelies last week by Urban Decay, and I’m delighted to bring you some swatches as I’ve not been able to find any more details about them in the UK! They’re the latest in sparkly eyeshadows, here’s what Urban Decay says about them:  “An explosion of stars. Stardust shadows’ silky texture delivers an incredible amount of sophisticated, twinkling sparkle. Boasting 40% […]

Makeover: Rebecca

I recently put out a call on my blog for volunteers for makeovers, and the lovely Rebecca from Le Salon de Beaute had volunteered almost before I’d finished writing the post!  Take a look at her blog if you get a chance, it’s a lovely one, and I’m a big fan. Anyway, this is Rebecca refusing to give me her best “Prisoner Cell Block H” […]

Estee Lauder – Michael Kors

More beige, and yet I want this collection so badly.  Someone needs to talk me down … I have enough make up!  … Don’t I? I also think I need the Bobbi Brown summer corals collection.  I love me some coral … Any things you are looking forward to seeing appear in the shops over the next couple of months?

Nail of the Day – Nubar Oh Baby Pink

In the spirit of full disclosure, I’ve already said that spring, to me, is all about the brights, right? That I’m not about the pastels?  Okay … in brief, I love this polish … but… This is Oh Baby Pink and it’s from the Nubar Hypnotic Valentine’s collection (which is available from the lovely, lovely people at Beauty Shed) it’s a pastel pink creme, that […]

Organic Wednesday – A change from our usual programming.

In which Get Lippie goes off on one and hopes she’ll be forgiven … Here at Get Lippie, I have a lot of organic products, and I read a LOT of pseudo-scientific gubbins about why organic products are better than products that contain ingredients which are not organic. And, by and large, I take most  of these claims with a pinch of salt.  You can […]

Lip of the Day – OCC Lip Tar NSFW

So, I’m back in the land of the lap-topped, and I couldn’t be more relieved!  I’ll do a more full review of IMATS later (I enjoyed it, but I have some serious reservations about how it was organised, to be honest) but I wanted to show these little babies off, as I think they might be my new very favourite things … Here’s the skinny: […]

Technical Difficulties

In a break from our regular programming (sadly, my laptop is out of action for a few days, and I feel like I’ve lost a limb as a result!) there can be no makeover today, as I am a dingbat who forgot to schedule all of them last week! It’s been a busy few days here though, blogger events, IMATS and swaps (oh my!), so […]

Chanel Kaska Beige Swatches

It’s not often these days that I get excited by an entire collection, and if you’d told me a few months ago that the one collection I would be super-interested in this year would be, well, beige, I’d probably just have looked at you like you had two heads or something. But recently, I’ve been going through something of a taupe phase, I dug out […]
