Looking forward to 2011? Guerlain, Lauder, Dior, Lancome and Clarins are …

Nope, haven’t gone quite mad – yet – but I found these pics on my iphone today and thought I’d show you some of the things you’ll be able to see on Get Lippie coming up in the next couple of months … Here you can see the spring/summer releases from both Dior and Guerlain (Dior on the left, Guerlain on the right).  I’m loving […]

Guerlain Rouge G – B62 Betsy

I love my Rouge G’s, I already own a red, and a pink and I wanted something a little more neutral this time around.  Enter Betsy.  In the bullet, a rather intense mauve shade, it’s actually rather more sheer than it might appear on first look: This is one of the B range of Rouge G’s, which have a lighter, more sheer texture, and feel […]

Nude Eyeliners

 Up until a couple of months ago, I didn’t own a single “nude” eyeliner.  Having been tortured throughout the ’80s by white eyeliner that was supposed to make you look more “awake” (but in reality just kind of made people look like they had been attacking their eyes with Tipp-Ex), I didn’t really think there was anything you could realisitically use these pencils for.  I’d […]

Review – Guerlain Lingerie de Peau Foundation

My quest for a Holy Grail foundation goes on, this time around I’m trying Guerlain’s Lingerie de Peau, which is their latest release, and it was released a couple of weeks ago. After a while swatching in-store, I settled on shade no2, Beige Clair, which is a slightly more pink-based shade than I’d ordinarily wear, but the lighting in the shop make picking colours way […]

Summer perfumes: Hermes Eau d’Orange Verte vs Guerlain Herba Fresca

I mentioned in a recent perfume review that I go a little bit crazy for minty perfumes and colognes and the two I’m talking about this week are two of my all-time favourite summer scents. First off, Hermes Eau d’Orange Verte, which is a unisex cologne.  I find this is quite citrussy on it’s opening (that’ll be the orange in the name, I expect, I’m […]

Guerlain Kohl Swatches

I own four of the Guerlain Kohls now, I thought it was time to show you how they compare to each other: Here are the three darks, Noir is a rich, sparkly black, Mirage is a matte, slightly flattened grey-brown (it’s not quite a taupe, but it’s not as red, nor as sparkly as Guerlain’s “Brun” shade), and Oriental Metal is the most beautiful lightly […]

Mr Lippie Reviews: Guerlain Homme L’Eau

Back again, with a new scent that GetLippie and I are currently arguing about…. Guerlain Homme’s L’eau comes in a chunky translucent bottle that looks somewhat ominous, on first viewing. It’s big, angular, and has a GINORMOUS spray nozzle that just dares you to press it. Once you get over that, however, the scent itself is actually quite light. It’s ever-so-slightly lemony, but there are […]

Guerlain Kohl Noir – Review and FotD

I cannot tell a lie, I was petrified of using this. It’s the stick.  Putting sticks in my eyes to apply my makeup just seems wrong. Pencils are fine, brushes are good, even putting my fingers in my eyes to wear my contact lenses is okay, but using a stick, just to apply eyeliner? Noooo…! I don’t mind admitting that I’ve been ignoring these beautifully […]
