Ellis Faas – the haul!

Courtesy of the lovely, lovely LondonMakeUpGirl these arrived today, and I’m delighted!  I’d ordered two eyeshadows and a blush a couple of weeks ago, and after a slight snafu with the order courtesy of the Ellis Faas online shop (which was very quickly and most courteously sorted, bless their cotton socks!) it’s taken a while for them to get here. I love the entire ethos behind […]

A Date With Ellis Faas

I’m so excited today! I’m picking up the Ellis Faas order I placed a couple of weeks ago, and I can’t wait to get my hands on the goodies! In honour of this momentous occasion (and because I’m also meeting LondonMakeUpGirl and I don’t want to feel like a scruffy oik) I’ve broken out my Ellis Red lipstick: I love this colour, it’s almost black […]

What I’m up to this week …

Well, I started a new job today so posts are going to be a bit thin on the ground this week, but I’ll hit the ground running next week, I promise! Taking a leaf out of the lovely Lipglossiping’s book (as I so often do, I love her blog!) I’ve joined up as part of The Beauty Blog Link Love network this week, so every […]

Unhappy Badger (balm) …

I love me some Badger Balm – and so does Mr Lippie now I don’t flinch when I see his elbows coming anywhere near me! – so when the company left a comment on my original article and said they’d just made their last 1343 tins of the Chai Rose variety (my personal All Time Favourite of All Time), I immediately emailed them and asked […]

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone is planning a lovely Christmas this year – I’m not going to be around much between now and new year as I’m ill, I’m travelling round the country a bit, and I’m starting a new job!  I’ll be around just after Christmas though, and I have a post about smokey eyes coming up soon, so look out for it! See you all soon!

Organic Wednesday – Purity Organic Skincare

Another week, another guest blogger here at Get Lippie. Seona was lovely enough to offer to try out a couple of products for me, and we’re looking at Purity Skincare this week. Purity say that less is more in beauty (a philosophy with which I heartily concur), and, according to their website, they have some pretty serious organic credentials.  They say: “Purity Organic Skincare is […]

Life in plastic, it’s fantastic …

So … there’s another range of Barbie makeup on the market, after both MAC and Stila have released Barbie collections in the last couple of years, this time New Look are on the case! I’ll be honest, and let you know that this was something I wasn’t really that interested in featuring on the blog – I’m definitely not New Look’s target market these days – […]

Makeover: Kerry

After a bit of last minute confusion with one of my other volunteers, the lovely Kerry stepped in to have a makeover, and I’m glad she did, as this is one of my favourites! Meet Kerry: Kerry is really very pretty already, with enormous green eyes.  Sometimes Kerry thinks she looks a bit young (never an issue as far as I’m concerned!) so was looking […]

Onix Blowdry – the aftermath …

As you probably already know, I had an  Onix keratin treatment/Brazilian blowdry at Compton Hair earlier this week, and I was very, very pleased with it. Well, I let it airdry the other day, and it was with some trepidation I did it, I can tell you!  I was still convinced that the very second I washed my hair, all the FLOOF would be back, […]

Competition Entry

I’m entering MizzWorthy’s “Think outside the box” competition today, so here’s my entry (again, the photos aren’t fantastic, but I was rushing this and trying to give myself a facial ready for my work Christmas party tomorrow!) It’s not my greatest work, but I was trying to show one very precise look, an one slightly destroyed look at the same time: Whaddya think?
