Yeah, it’s been a while … Turns out I like not blogging almost as much as I do actual blogging, who knew?! Anyway, for today at least, I’m back slaving away at a keyboard. I would have been back last week, but stuff happened, and I’m still wearing the bandage on the middle finger of my left hand, let’s put it that way. Anyhoo, skincare. […]
I’ve been waiting to get my hands on Delilah’s Pure Light Illuminating Powder in Aura ever since India Knight raved about it in the Sunday Times late last year! It sounded like it was the perfect powder, illuminating, not glittery, and she used the phrase “you absolutely do not look shiny, just lit from within”. Well, who doesn’t want to look lit from within at […]
I do love a yellow-toned face powder. For years, my default face powder has been Hourglass Diffused, and, after hitting pan on my third one, I thought it was time to possibly try out a few different ones rather than just blindly buying the same powder again. Enter Rodial Instaglam Compact Deluxe Banana Powder. A finely milled, soft yellow powder, Rodial are promoting this […]
Sometimes I really shouldn’t be allowed out, you know. I was at a launch with the founder of Erborian a couple of months ago, and I got so excited by this product that all I could say for about 20 minutes was “It’s a jelly! But it’s a powder! But it’s a jelly!”. This is, I suspect, why I’m not going to be challenging […]
Summer’s coming! Summer’s coming! Well, hopefully it is, anyway! My tastes have certainly turned to the more summery this week, anyway. I started with Caron’s My Lang (which gave me and my husband a Woody Guthrie ear worm for several days), which is a sophisticated and creamy sun-lotion kind of a scent, which I really liked from first sniff. More about this soon. I’m also […]
I’ve been on a blog-hiatus. It wasn’t intended, but it just sort of happened, and, I have to admit, I’ve rather enjoyed it. I’m just now entering my eighth year of blogging (you read that right), so that’s seven years of Sunday afternoons that I’ve spent at my computer,which equates to nearly a solid YEAR of taking pictures, editing pictures (always the worst part, tbh), […]
The weather is warming up – finally! – and I’ve been needing to concentrate this last week, so light and zesty fragrances were the order of the day, and this week I wore: Lemon by Mary Greenwell, a citrus-chypre, which is surprisingly long-lasting, which I paired with Guerlain Rouge G Rouge Parade, a limited edition red-pink from Christmas 2014. On Tuesday, I thought I’d chance […]
Last week was a really stressful one, with deadlines and auditors galore, I’m still recovering! Hopefully now both the house move and the audit are over, I’ll have a little more time free to do some blogging and cataloguing my collection of … stuff. I’ve had a few new releases recently too, and I’ll get around to photographing them soon. Anyhoo, skincare-wise, I’ve been a […]
Doesn’t look very exciting, does it? One taupe eyeshadow pencil, all alone there. But trust me, for £6.29 this GOSH Forever Matte Eyeshadow Stick might just change your (makeup applying life). Eyeshadow pencils are nothing new, in fact, I’ve acquired so many great pencils over the course of the last 12 months or so that I’ve barely bothered applying powder eyeshadow at all, to be […]
You don’t really know what pain is until you try and get the words in this products title in the right order for SEO purposes, you know. For the record these are: It Cosmetics Vitality Cheek Flush Powder Blush Stains (try saying that three times fast), which have just launched on QVC, and come in four glowing, jewel-like shades (l-r) : Magical in Mauve, Radiant […]
I don’t normally do this, so I hope you will forgive me, just this once. It’s exceedingly rare that I feature a skincare product after less than a month (minimum) of use, but this little bottle of golden elixir, Beuti Skincare’s Beauty Sleep Elixir appears to be quite magical. If you’ve been a Get Lippie reader for a while, you’ll know I’m prone to both […]
Bright reds and dark berries, plus one glorious pink this week, alongside some classic fragrances too. Top left were the gorgeous white flowers of Narciso For Her, which is a fragrance I love a great deal, and could even smell it slightly through my parosmia last year, which always grants a special place in my heart for a fragrance. I wore this on Friday with […]
