(Not Quite) A Hair Disaster …

Was at the hairdresser yesterday, and this is the fruit of their labours.  It’s beautifully shiny, and I love how they dried my hair, although it dropped quite drastically on my rainy walk to the tube, but … well, I did NOT enjoy my salon experience all that much. I’ve mentioned before that I find trying new hairdressers a bit stressful, particularly when it comes […]

My top ten brushes

(Okay, it’s not actually going to be a top ten.  It’s not even going to be a top seven, as pictured, it’s a top eight – I’m a photographic-doofus, sorry!) During Foundation Week recently, I mentioned my flat top kabuki brush a lot, and people on Twitter were asking me about my favourite makeup brushes as a result.  I’m not  a brush expert though, and […]

Mission Statement?

I try not to  make Get Lippie political – I’ve said before, it’s all about the products and how they work as far as I’m concerned, but I thought I’d share this email exchange that took place today regarding a product that a PR firm wanted to see featured here my blog: “Hi Louise, Xxx from xXx here, I’m writing today to see if you […]

Estee Lauder – Michael Kors

More beige, and yet I want this collection so badly.  Someone needs to talk me down … I have enough make up!  … Don’t I? I also think I need the Bobbi Brown summer corals collection.  I love me some coral … Any things you are looking forward to seeing appear in the shops over the next couple of months?

Multipurpose Products

So, we all have them, those little products that do double duty.  Blushers that double as eyeshadows, lipsticks that act as blushers, the lipbalm that also works as a moisturiser or cuticle cream and so on. However, I think this one takes the biscuit it’s the, er … “personal product” that also works as a hair serum, and heat-styling protector.  Would you?  Could you? Warning:  […]

(Almost) Organic Wednesday Liz Earle + Giveaway!

Giveaway is now closed, thank you lovelies! When I’m asked about handcream, I very rarely have to stop and think, I simply say “Liz Earle Hand Repair”, because I truly believe it’s one of the best handcreams I’ve ever tried.  It smells divine, sinks in easily, doesn’t leave a greasy residue (it leaves them matte, the first handcream I ever tried that did that!), and […]

Here is the nude …

One thing I don’t actually find as universally appealing as we’re told is the “nude lip” look that’s so popular these days.  I’ve noticed in my trawls around a lot of magazines, books and blogs that a lot of women appear to be scared of colour on their lips, and I’m wondering why that is?  Get your lip colour right, I always think and you […]

Well, I started a new job today so posts are going to be a bit thin on the ground this week, but I’ll hit the ground running next week, I promise! Taking a leaf out of the lovely Lipglossiping’s book (as I so often do, I love her blog!) I’ve joined up as part of The Beauty Blog Link Love network this week, so every […]
