Nail Effects with IZ Beauty of London

By Emily A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to the launch of IZ Beauty of London’s new collection of nail effects at The Sanderson Hotel in London. Other than nails, my other favourite thing is pick and mix, so imagine my glee when I arrived to discover a table piled with nail amazingness and jars of sugary delights! It’s like they knew […]

Sali Hughes – Pretty Honest: Beauty Book Review

By Get Lippie I love beauty books, I’ve been collecting them for years now, and even have some that date back to the mid 1800’s.  There’s a special joy in reading beauty regimes from days gone by, and if the book dates back far enough, they’re a wonderful historical document, opening your eyes to just what life was like for women back in the day. […]

London Fashion Week: Emerging Trends

By Tindara It’s been a little while since I wrote anything for Get Lippie, and to get me back in the writing saddle, and so I could atone for this appalling neglect, our resident pro make-up artist Luke Stephens arranged a ticket for me to attend the London Fashion Week Synergy event: Emerging Trends. Luke was second in command to make-up supremo, Nicci Jackson and […]

Tauer Perfumes: Sotta La Luna Gardenia Review

By Laurin Spending one’s Saturday afternoons poking around perfume blogs and websites brings one to a small and perhaps completely obvious conclusion. Many perfumers and perfume lovers alike are also gardeners. This makes sense when I think of it, that a love of fragrance might be born out of a love of nature and the bounty of odours within. Or perhaps having a living reference […]

My Little Box comes to the UK

I am somewhat sceptical (shut up at the back) about “beauty boxes”.  I’ll be honest, I’m not really a fan.  I think some of the Glossybox limited edition boxes have been great (fabulous, even), but … yeah, £10 (+ p&p) or so a month for a couple of things you can usually get free from department store counters, plus a bonus “full size” product or […]

No7 MatchMade Lipstick Service

*Sponsored Post* My love of lipstick is fairly well-known, I think, after all, there’s a reason this blog is called “Get Lippie”!  Even before I started blogging my lip product collection numbered in the (low-ish) three figures, and now I am a fully-fledged five year plus blogger the only reason my lipsticks don’t take over the entire house is because I’m fairly ruthless at editing […]

Urban Decay Pulp Fiction Collection

It’s everywhere at the moment, but I couldn’t not blog about the Urban Decay Pulp Fiction collection, because it contains one of my favourite beauty items that has been released ALL YEAR.  Yes, one of these items is so lovely and amazing that, literally the day this collection went in-store, I ordered three back-ups of one of the products.  I actually ended up with six […]

Anyhoo, here’s Luke with the lowdown: As interested as I am in being very organised with stuff, and […]

On anosmia and other stuff.

By Get Lippie The sharp-eyed amongst you might have noticed that I’ve been doing fewer perfume reviews than usual, and for that I have to apologise.  I’m ill.  I’ve been ill for a while now, and whilst it’s nothing life-threatening (or even anything painful for that matter), it has been life-changing. It began inauspiciously – as these things tend to – with a severe cold […]

Storage Week! Perfumes with Laurin …

Storage week continues, and today we’re highlighting Laurin’s perfume collection.  Probably best you don’t show this one to your maiden aunty, now we come to think of it …. My beauty storage is what you might term “organised chaos”. I know exactly where everything is, in my mind at least. In my current flat, I’m lucky enough to have my own bathroom (albeit in two […]

Guerlain L’Homme Ideal

I have said this before of Guerlain, but they really don’t like to rush fragrances out. It’s been nigh on 6 years since they released a men’s fragrance. I may be overstepping the mark here, but I often feel Guerlain doesn’t get a fair slice of attention, and this really is a shame. Guerlain, despite having been around since the dawn of time it seems, […]

Storage Week! Tindara

The increasingly mis-named Storage “Week” continues (sorry about that), and today we have Tindara showing you her drawers, Wednesday has Laurin showing us her … er … rather unorthodox perfume collection, and Friday will bring you Pro-Makeup Artist Luke showing us how we should really do it (or not … you decide!).  Our editor, Louise, will be showing you hers next week, as she needs […]
