#LipsNspritz of the week 11.10.15

Life would be dull indeed without lipstick and perfume, I’ve made it a mission this last month or so to document my entire lipstick and perfume “wardrobe”.  The idea is to wear every perfume and lipstick that I own, and post my thoughts on each on Instagram every day.  I’m trying to do it without repeats, but I’ve decided to allow myself the occasional one […]

Skincare of the Week 11.10.15

No blog posts last week because I was unwell last Sunday and I simply couldn’t face writing in the slightest.  I still kept up with my skincare routines though, because I do (occasionally) have standards …  The routine above was a night-time one mid-week, from when I had a congested chin – complete with zit!  I haven’t had a zit in a couple of years […]

Skincare of the Week 20.09.15

Or, welcome to another week of what I plaster onto my ugly mug đŸ˜‰  I’m still trialling Omorovicza Blue Diamond Eye Cream, and Zelens Intense Defence Antioxidant Serum, though I was thwarted a bit in testing this week through circumstances, as we’ll see.  This was Monday’s face, and I forgot to photograph the moisturiser … :sigh: I wasn’t made for Mondays. Tuesday arrived, and I […]

Skincare of the Week 13.09.15

Last Sunday was a very stressful day, so I ended up giving myself a mini-facial in the middle of the day.  Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel was soothing with its rosy softness, then I slathered myself in Aveda Intensive Hydrating Mask for the rest of the day.  I love this stuff, oil-free, it is instantly cooling and soothing (I keep mine in the fridge.  That reminds […]

Skincare of the Week – 22 August 2015

Joy abounds in the Get Lippie household whenever a parcel from Zelens shows up, and this week I was delighted that the two newest serums in the range appeared on my doorstep.  I’ll be giving Zelens Intense Defence a good going over in the next few weeks, so expect my skincare routines to get a little … visually undistinguishable … for a while.  This was […]

Clinique Aromatics in White

   First things first, the original Aromatics Elixir from Clinique is a fragrance I’ve been wearing for around thirty years now, if I were to ever have a “signature fragrance”, Aromatics would be it.  So, when Aromatics in White was released, I was intrigued.   It is difficult for me to do a direct comparison, as the original is just still a little too strong for […]

Clinique Turnaround Revitalising Instant Facial

For me, Clinique are really knocking it out of the park at the moment – you might have noticed I’ve reviewed a fair few of their products recently – and they’ve just added an entirely new skincare range: “Turnaround”, to their line. To me it looks really interesting, as it is for skin with has lost some luminosity through stress or other factors.  Well, colour […]

Clinique Sculptionary Cheek Contouring Palette – 02 Defining Berries

Contouring is the trend that just will not die, isn’t it?  Here’s yet another ostensibly “contouring” product, the Clinique Sculptionary Cheek Contouring Palette in 02 Defining Berries, which is actually just a (very) beautiful blusher, and is all the more useful for it not being another pan of brown goop. Since it turned up, I’ve not wanted to use any other cheek product at all… […]

Clinique Colour Pop Lipsticks in Bare/Punch/Cherry/Love and Berry Pop

We’ve been lacking a bit in colour recently on Get Lippie, so I figured instead of Lipsticks of the Week, why not have a Week of Lipsticks?  So here we are, showing you some of my favourite lipsticks of the moment. Clinique sent me a few of their latest Colour Pop collection recently, and they are mega pretty.  From l-r we have Bare Pop, Punch […]

Clinique Chubby Sculpting Sticks in Curvy Contour and Hefty Highlight

  Just a week after I featured one simple contour kit (with an unfortunate typo) along comes another, even simpler, one from Clinique.  Another extension to the astonishingly successful Chubby Stick range, this features one contour crayon, and one highlighter and is easy enough even for the most cack-handedly muppety of us. Really, it’s almost insultingly simple to use – draw a dark line where […]

The Reluctant Lippie. Part Two: Pinks

   By Laurin A few of the more pressing topics that have been on my mind this week include:   Why do my jeans smell like barnyard dust even though I washed them two days ago? Have my knickers been on inside-out all day? (Turns out yes, yes they have.) Oh hey, is that the guy I dated briefly last year who was in the open […]
