Organic Wednesday – Neal’s Yard Wild Rose Elixir

I’ve mentioned Neal’s Yard a few times before, I’m a big fan of their distinctively packaged, gloriously scented and usually highly natural products.  When the chance came up to take a look at their new Beauty Elixir, which is part of their Wild Rose range – I already own the balm, and the facial oil in this range too! – I jumped at it.  Here’s what […]

Lip Balm Roundup.

I’ve been collecting lip balms again! I know I do a lip balm post seemingly every other week (there is a reason the blog is called Get Lippie, you know …)  but the last few have concentrated on more natural ranges, and I thought that this week that I’d talk about some which are chock-full of chemicals and science an’ t’ings.  I’ll do this in […]

Eye of the Day – ELF and The Balm

 (Please ignore the stupid look on my face) This is a look I’ve been wearing a lot lately. I was sent some samples of the new ELF Cream Liner in Coffee, and The Balm Shady Lady 2 eyeshadow palette recently, and I have to say, I adore them both.  A closer look at the palette: It’s BEEYOOTIFUL.  Unlike many palettes, this one is endlessly versatile, […]

Review – Lancôme Precious Cells Mascara

I’m a massive fan of Lancôme mascaras, and have been ever since they first introduced the Hypnôse range! I always have one on the go, and one as a back up around. Despite the occasional misfire – Hypnôse Onyx anyone? Seriously I thought that one was innovation purely for innovations sake, it was literally no different to the original formula – they’ve always been my […]

Foundation Week Finale – Liquids

I love liquid foundations, and have amassed a fair collection of them over the years. There are very many different formulations, and with liquid foundations, it can be a case of trial and error getting the right formulation for yourself. There are two main kinds, ones that leave you with a dewy glow, and matte ones – but, of course, there are all kinds of […]

Makeover: Isobel

Another very quick makeover this week, featuring the lovely Isobel, who came to visit Chez Lippie recently. Meet Isobel: Isobel wanted a very simple evening look.  One that looked polished, and elegant, but that wasn’t too dramatic.  We had a chat about colours, and discovered that muddy purples were the order of the day. As ever, we start with the base.  Now, Isobel is 60 […]

Foundation Week – Tinted Moisturisers

Yes, I know that tinted moisturisers aren’t strictly foundations, but I’m doing this post by request! During summer, I’m actually a big fan of tinted moisturisers, as they’re lighter, and generally offer better sun protection than traditional foundations. Nothing worse than looking a bit dry in the summer sun. One of the most famous tinted moisturisers is Benefit You Rebel. Long touted by Benefit as […]
