Chantecaille Turtles Palette

Oh my, how pretty is this? I spent several years living in Greece, and several nights whilst there were spent camping out under the stars and watching turtles lay their eggs on some of the beaches there, so this will be a lovely reminder of my days as a rep. I love the fact that some of the whopping cost of these palettes (these retail […]

Project Perfume

Accountants need projects like fish need bicycles water.  This year, I’ve decided to set myself one, I have around fifty different projects going on at work so, what’s another one for home? Over Christmas, I downloaded Perfumes: The A-Z Guide by Luca Turin onto my Kindle App (Santa ignored my repeated requests for a Kindle this year, I hate him), and spent a glorious day […]

My Picks of 2010

Needless to say, you’ll have seen a million of these posts already, and I was in two minds whether or not to post my selections too, but some of these products have been life-changing for me, and I thought I’d share them anyway … Bath Products of The Year: Aromatherapy Associates Early on in the year, I was sent an Aromatherapy Associates Miniature Bath and […]

Oh, I’m delighted by this one, as she’s one of my favourite people too … It’s Emily from Sparkle and Shade! Please drop me an email, lovely, and I’ll get your parcel out to you as soon as I can. Thank you so much to everyone who entered, I greatly enjoyed reading all the entries, and it looks like I’ll have to do duckface on […]

Looking forward to 2011? Guerlain, Lauder, Dior, Lancome and Clarins are …

Nope, haven’t gone quite mad – yet – but I found these pics on my iphone today and thought I’d show you some of the things you’ll be able to see on Get Lippie coming up in the next couple of months … Here you can see the spring/summer releases from both Dior and Guerlain (Dior on the left, Guerlain on the right).  I’m loving […]

Merry Christmas!

It’s Christmas, and Get Lippie is taking a little holiday (literally, whee!) but I’ll be back next week, showing you my picks of the year, and some other bits and pieces. In the meantime though, here’s hoping all of you have a wonderful Christmas, and I’ll see you next week! But, if you’re really desperate for something to do while I’m away, why don’t you […]

Sienna X – Fake Tan

I had a fake tan recently.  Those of you who know me will know how funny this is, but truth be told, when you’re offered a tan by Sienna X – the people who are responsible for the tans on Strictly Come Dancing, then it’s actually pretty hard to turn down. Honestly!  Plus, I had a party to go to that weekend, so it seemed […]

All For Eve on QVC

I make no bones about my support for All for Eve, truly I think it’s a great business idea, and I’ve been proud to be associated with the brand since it’s inception earlier this year.  This is just a quick heads up to let you know that All for Eve will be live on QVC tonight at midnight, and they will be the TSV (Today’s […]

Malin + Goetz at St Martins Lane Hotel

I do love a little bit of Malin+Goetz, their pared-down very  “New York” aesthetic really speaks to me for some reason.  I think what I love about them is that they don’t make outrageous claims for their products (no “reclaiming your lost beauty”-style ramblings for them, thank goodness!) and the range itself is markedly simple, if ever-expanding, but, the products do work, and they work […]

Christmas Giveaway – Haus of Gloi!

Haus of Gloi has been one of my finds of 2010, anything that could convince me that using body lotion regularly would be a) something that I would do, and b) be something that I would look forward to has to have a certain special something about it! So I thought I’d share the joi a little.  This week, I’m giving away sample size jars […]

Chanel – Le Coton

I make no apologies – whatsoever – for this post!  I mentioned Chanel cotton wool to some fellow bloggers the other week, and the gorgeous Vex in the City and Virtues of Beauty both blogged about how insane they thought it was straight after.  Can’t, in all honesty, say I blame them, they are a little … mad! So, Chanel have released Le Coton exclusively […]

Le Metier de Beaute – Turkish Smoke

I’m a big fan of Le Metier de Beaute, I think every product I’ve tried from them this year has been a winner, with the exception of one lipgloss I was given for my birthday (and that’s only because it gave me concealer lips, which is merely a problem of faulty shade selection rather than anything else) so when I was given this lipgloss at […]
