Feet freak me out. It’s a sad fact, but true, and they’ve always given me the willies (so to speak). I can deal with the fact that I have feet, but, well, just don’t talk to me about them, don’t show me pictures of them, and don’t, whatever you do, touch my feet unexpectedly. More than once, when my mum was training to be a […]

Sigh. I took the pictures for the FotD for this a couple of weeks ago, and I was just digging through the promo pictures (which I hadn’t seen in several months!) to show you the range in full when I noticed this: My FotD: YSL Promo: Notice anything? I’d even stolen the hairdo … Blue eyeshadow. It makes me crazy. Now, would you like swatches? […]
Oh, it pains me to write this one, really it does. I bought, and reviewed most of the Clarins Instant Sunlight summer collection a couple of months ago, but I’ve been hanging back from covering this one, as I wasn’t sure what to say about it. Then I scratched my head and had a really good think about what I wanted to say, and this […]
Guerlain Oriental Metal, Chanel Particuliere, PLUS a Chanel Rouge Coco (you pick the shade!) are what you can win in my birthday giveaway/competition. This is just a little reminder post, as the giveaway closes next week (midnight on Wednesday 9th June), prior to my giving away the goodies on my actual birthday on June 10th. Click here to be taken to the post with the entry requirements […]
Hold on to your hats people, for I have fallen in love with an eyeshadow. And it’s BLUE … I was saying in one of my rambles on Zuneta recently that I much prefer the autumn/winter collections from the major cosmetic houses than the summer ones, and this a/w collection – the first widely available one from new Lauder creative director Tom Pecheux – is […]
This might not be the most exciting nail polish you’ve ever seen, but I adore it. A work-safe mauvish-pink with multicoloured sparkles, it has a lovely depth on the nails, and is very pretty. I spent several days last week admiring it. I’d seen it on a lot of blogs recently, and it appealed to me a lot more than, say, Jade is the New […]
All for Eve have just released a video of their official launch, which I was lucky enough to attend recently, and it’s a far better record of the event than my gushing about stalking talking to Daniel Sandler, so I thought you’d like to see exactly how it was, so here it is! You can rest assured that I’m not in it, but Johnathan Rhys […]
A couple of months ago, I asked for some volunteers to try some products that didn’t agree with me. Both of the products came from Melvita, but with my dry, sensitive gel-resistant skin, I thought it would be better to get them tested by people they really suited. Here’s what MakeupbyKaty and DinkyLondon made of their products: MakeupbyKaty tried the Foaming Facial Scrub: When the […]
Time passes, things move on, and sometimes you need to make some changes. I’ve done a lot of soul-searching recently, and have been trying to think of ways to make Get Lippie a bit different. Then I thought, stuff that, I like what I’m doing! But, sometimes it helps to have a different viewpoint on things, and some of my very favourite blogs have two […]
A few of you might remember that I discovered Le Metier de Beaute recently, and fell in love with their Anamorphic Mascara. Well, I’ve just found out that Ivan Castro, the talented international makeup artist behind behind the brand – and responsible for some of the gorgeous looks sported by the likes of Nicole Kidman and Rhianna – will be available for one-to-one makeup lessons […]
Scouting around trying to find myself a bottle of Cuir de Lancome in Selfridges (I was offered O de Lancome five times, but no matter), I came across this little beauty. First released in 1967, it is described as a floral aldehyde, and was re-released by Lancome a couple of years ago. I find it beautiful, it’s very feminine – even ladylike – but it’s […]
