Reader Request – Highlighters

When I wrote this post about the YSL Palette Y-Mail highlighter a few weeks ago, one of my lovely readers, Renata asked about my favourite highlighters, and what I’d recommend.  Well, my first thought, I have to admit was “I don’t have many highlighters, I’ll never get a full post out of that!”.  I was wrong.  A quick scout around my makeup collections (yes, I […]

Lancôme L’Absolou Rouge Creme de Brilliance Lip Swatches

When I last featured the Creme de Brilliance liquid lipsticks, I had a lot of requests for lip swatches, so here they are – apologies for it taking so long, had to wait for sunny times to get the colours right!  They’re swatched in numerical order as per this pic: Please click on either shot to enlarge.  Which are your favourites?

Review – Armani Code for Men

Well, it’s been a while since he popped up, and I did embarrass him this week by outing his new-found love of candles, so I thought it was time he reviewed something else. Today’s post is by my fluffy wuffy bunnykins Mr Lippie.  Please say hello: *** So. I’m not a big wearer of scents, I think we’ve established that. If you didn’t know it […]

Organic Wednesday: Jonathan Ward Candles

There are few things more surreal than dragging the rugby-loving, cider-drinking, not-interested-in-male-grooming, will-only-get-his-hair-cut-when-ordered-to, shouldn’t-be-reading-this Mr Lippie along to a candle viewing and scent testing session, and then watching him take over the proceedings to the extent that the Official Lippie (me) can’t actually get a word in edgeways! It might have happened because Jonathan Ward’s candles are truly things of beauty, and it was a […]

Review – Untitled by Maison Martin Margiela

I was at Selfridges last Thursday, to see the in-store launch of this new fragrance from Maison Martin Margiela, and it looked amazing, white feathers everywhere, women dressed in lab coats, and the fragrance strips are cut like hospital bracelets! Plenty more fun than the usual frou-frou frilliness, I must say. The perfume is a little different to the norm too, on me, this is […]

Bliss?

I bought these just after Christmas for the bargain price of about £15, I love the post-Christmas sales, I think the normal retail price of this little lot is about £30!  There’s a double size shower gel, a  full-size body butter and a trial-size handcream. So, why has it take me till nearly April to review them?  Well, they’re just a bit meh.  I’ve read […]

Upcoming on Get Lippie

I’ve got quite a few things coming up, I thought you  might like a little heads up! For the past couple of months, I’ve been working on collecting interviews with women I admire, who I think are doing interesting things in the beauty industry! Tomorrow, I’ll be kicking off my little series with a small portrait of a woman I think a lot of beauty […]
