Guest Post – Love Your Lips

I love Oh Panda!  She’s a mine of information, and a source of inspiration, and she’s a total sweetheart to boot.  Here she is to talk to us today about how to look after your lips … ***** It’s all well and good buying a new lipstick, falling in love with it and never wanting to take it off but it is important to look […]

Guest Post – A Life in Lipstick

All my favourite people are called Louise, so I was very happy when Louise from LouLouMuses agreed to take a guest slot this time around.  She’s only been blogging for a couple of months, but she’s been on Twitter for a lot longer than that, and she’s always a delight to chat to.  Take it away, LouLou!   ***** After the initial blog post mental […]

Guest Post – Aztec Inspired Nails

I have neither the time, nor the patience to do nail art, (not to mention my being a total cackhanded muppet) so when the gloriously talented Catherine of Catherine’s Loves blog offered to do a tutorial for my readers, I jumped at the opportunity!  Here’s hoping you enjoy this as much as I did: ***** Hello readers of Get Lippie, Louise has kindly let me […]

Guest Post – Before and After

I’m kind of hoping that my guest poster today doesn’t really need any introduction … but, if you’re not familiar, here’s @MrLippie talking about how his life has changed since his beloved became a beauty blogger … ***** At times, I find myself wondering how exactly I’ve ended up in this position – no, not the position of writing a blog post in a bit […]

Guest Post – Le Metier Lip Creme Fraise

A new discovery, but rapidly becoming a favourite, owing to a shared interest in lipstick (and Le Metier de Beaute) is The Black Panties  blog.  Through her posts, I can live vicariously in Bergdorf Goodman … and today, so can you! *****   My obsession for the past month or so has been Le Métier de Beauté’s Fraise lip crème. What makes lip crèmes stand […]

Equus Twelve Week Blowdry

So, the last thing I invested in before my trip (tomorrow – squee!) was a Twelve Week Blowdry with Darren Eaton at Equus.  I’d originally headed in for a Brocato treatment, but, because my hair currently has bleached ends (I had an ombre recently, too!), we decided that the slightly gentler twelve week blowdry would suit my needs better.  It took two and a half […]

Holiday Makeup Bag

This post might surprise a few people, but the following is all I’m planning on taking away with me this week: From left to right we have Hawaiian Tropic lip gloss: which has an in-built SPF of 25.  My lips are prone to cold-sores at the first sight of warm weather, so this is a must.   Guerlain Terracotta foundation in Blonde:  a hint of […]

Imedeen and Decleor – Pre-Sun Preparation

Don’t worry, I think I’ve only got one more of these holiday themed posts to go! I mentioned on Monday that I suffer from prickly heat, and I’m worried about it happening again, so have invested a small fortune in sun allergy sun protection.  Well, I’m also taking some preventative steps in advance: Firstly, I’m taking Imedeen’s Tan Optimizer supplements, and have been for the […]
