Spring Blushers with Clinique, Hourglass and Tarte

By Get Lippie   Spring really has sprung now, the days are lighter and longer, and, whilst I’ve not actually turned off the central heating yet (we have foot-thick walls, and 8ft ceilings, it takes Lippie Mansions a while to warm up), it’s definitely getting warmer.  As a result, I’ve swapped out my darker winter blushes for some lighter, brighter shades for the longer days […]

Clinique A Different Nail Enamel in Indie Rock

Nail varnish for sensitive skin?  Really?  Hmn …  Apparently, in the course of an average day, you’ll touch your face many dozens of times, and the chemicals in a “normal” nail varnish can irritate the thin and easily inflamed skin around your eyes, causing reactions and irritation.  I can’t say I’ve ever noticed this, despite having such sensitive skin around my eyes that 95% of […]

Lipsticks of the Week: Soft Reds

   It’s been a red kind of week, but I couldn’t face my usual bright “in your face” kind of shades, so softer, gentler, easier-wearing kinds of reds (and a pink) have dominated my look this week: From left to right we have: Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in Red Velvet – I’ve largely ignored the Revlon Lip Butter hype, as the colours have all been […]

Clinique Even Better Foundation Review

I genuinely thought I’d already reviewed this, seeing as it was by far my favourite foundation released in 2012, but it appears not.  Oh well, better late than never, eh? Especially as this bottle is very nearly due for a replacement …  Housed in a neat dropper-style bottle (my favourite kind), Clinique Even Better foundation contains many of the same  ingredients as their Even Better […]

Clinique Chubby Stick Intense: Curviest Caramel, Plushest Punch, Chunkiest Chilli

Judging by the amount of imitators currently on the market, Clinique’s Chubby Sticks have been one of the most successful product launches of all time.  A balm consistency, with a hint of pigment, Chubby Sticks are perfect for this “can’t be bothered thinking about my makeup” days, and I have a selection of the shades.  They’re easy to wear, and comfortable, and there’s a big […]

Five basics every makeup bag should have

I get asked, quite regularly, what makeup products every makeup bag should contain, and I always find it a difficult question to answer (I don’t really carry a makeup bag round with me, and, when I do, it mainly contains lip products … the name of this blog didn’t come around by accident, you know) but, in response to a particularly heartfelt plea from MummyBarrow, […]

Clinique Even Better Eyes Review

There weren’t many posts on Get Lippie last week, whilst I won’t go into the details for it, suffice it to say that last week was a tough one which involved a few sleepless nights and a few tears to boot. All sorted now though, thank goodness, and nothing to worry about, either.  I am very glad I had a tiny tube of Clinique Even […]

Summery Coral Lipsticks from Clinique, Max Factor and Sisley

It’s summer – allegedly – and I normally swap to more coral-shades in summer.  Whilst the sun hasn’t really blessed us much this year, we do have some top lipstick shades around at the moment.  I picked up three at random, and thought you might like to see them: So, we have Clinique Runway Coral, Max Factor Bewitching Coral, and Sisley Sheer Peach, or, in […]

Project Perfume – Aromatics Elixir Perfumers Reserve

 It has to be said that I can’t resist Aromatics Elixir in any format (though my requests for a bottle of bath oil in this post from January fell onto cruelly deaf ears at Lauder HQ), but, when I heard that Aromatics was to be updated and “refreshed”, as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations of the launch of Aromatics back in in 1971, I […]

Clinique Black Honey Collection

I don’t buy Clinique makeup often, but it’s safe to say that Clinique are responsible, at least in part, for my lip product obsession.  Not to mention that when I take people shopping for coloured lipsticks, I often introduce them to Clinique’s “Almost Lipstick” range, which is a great way to introduce brighter lipstick colours into someone’s makeup wardrobe, as they are very sheer, and […]

Project Perfume: Clinique Aromatics Elixir

The week before last, I announced the start of “Project Perfume“, where I’m going to attempt to sniff about 10 new (to me) perfumes a month in an attempt to educate myself about scents, their composition, and to see if I can finally, once and for all, identify that particular ingredient in certain perfumes that makes me want to vomit.  I’m a one-woman perfume machine […]

Clinique Anti-Blemish Foundation

This post is a promotional feature. Okay, I very rarely feature products before I’ve tested them, but I’m making an exception for this one. It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of Clinique’s patent 3-step skin-care system, but I’ve always liked their cosmetics, and I believe their spot-care range (can you call it that? You know what I mean, I’m sure) is second to […]
