This is the first of what I’m hoping is going to be a regular series from now on. Every week or so, I’ll find a willing victi … er … volunteer, and invite them to the Get Lippie HQ, for a beauty consultation and make over. As the sessions won’t be beginning for a few days, I hope you’ll forgive me for using an oldie […]
So, some 13 hours wear later, here’s how we’re looking: There’s some significant fading on both, but this is an eyeshadow that lasts an hour, maybe two without a primer, so that’s only to be expected. Both also have creasing, but again, on an eyeshadow that ordinarily simply disappears into the ether, this is really to be expected. If I were judging this simply on […]
It’s been a funny old week. I got a job offer out of the blue, which caused much soul-searching as I’ve only just started a new job. This new job offer comes with a shorter commute, more money, and it’s back in the industry I love … A hard decision had to be made – do I leave my cushy new job, and go back […]
Just to see if I can: Here’s my new hair colour. Yes, it’s out of focus, many apologies.
Okay, I said there was going to be a follow up to my follow up (look, I know what I mean) post earlier, so here it is, these are the products I either use on a daily basis, or recommend to my clients regularly: Chanel Precision Bi-Phase Eye Makeup remover: I have used EVERY eye make up remover on the planet (it feels like!) and […]
For those of you who followed my last blog, you’ll know that the original of this post (below!) was written the best part of five years ago … how time flies! So I’m going to update the post, and see what’s been replaced, and what’s still going strong. I’ll be doing a separate list of my new favourites later. Kerastase Dermo Calm shampoo – Simply […]
It’s been a great week for beauty here at Get Lippie, and I have some lovely things to talk about, but first of all I want to say a massive thanks to Jo Cruikshank who runs Puresha. On Twitter every day for a week, they ran a competion where just by adding #puresha to any of your tweets you could win a £100 eco-beauty voucher […]
I am a massive fan of Hypnose, I’ve used it constantly for years. Well, I say constantly, I’ve had occasional flirtations with Max Factor, and Benefit Bad Gal once in a while, but I always come back to Hypnose. I found it’s lengthening and fattening properties to be second to none. But … I’ve always liked the original Hypnose, Lancome attempted to improve the original […]
Honestly, this blog keeps winking out of existence – and deleting my posts – willynilly. Hopefully Google is keeping an eye on it now after all my complaining. Coming next, Lancome Hypnose Drama review. I’ll be updating all my how-to’s shortly with photographs too. Have updated my links with other blogs I’m enjoying reading at the moment – UK ones for now, I’ll add the […]
Good question! It’s all been a bit hectic chez Get Lippie, I spent half of the summer designing and producing make ups for Blackheath Halls’ production of Orpheus and Eurydice, which was great fun – especially the young Laban Dancers who played evil spawn in the Hell section, and had to be made up like skulls! Really tested my skills to the limit there … […]
I’m in the process of moving my posts from my old blog, but welcome! Some people might recognise the pieces on here already, but I’ve found them to be the most interesting posts from the blog that ran from 2004 onwards. Keep checking back regularly for hints, tips, and general how-to’s. I’ll be updating this weekly, and I’m hoping to have some interesting articles and […]
