Lippie’s Lust List #5 – Urban Decay Eyeliner Vault

Released on May 2nd, this set of 40 of Urban Decay’s eyeliners is stunningly beautiful.  I want it very much. However, it’s £240 so it can sod off.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette

Most of the hype regarding the previous two Naked palettes by Urban Decay passed me by.  Whilst I like a nice range of nude shaded tones as eyeshadows, somehow I just didn’t “get” what other people were seeing in the palettes.  They are nice, yes, but, I think I prefer a bit more sludge with my shades – I found it difficult to see which […]

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 […]

Elf High Definition Powder vs Urban Decay Razor Sharp Ultra Definition Finishing Powder

You can’t move at the moment for High Definition cosmetics. I’m not – entirely – convinced that for day-to-day wear you need cosmetics that provide coverage designed for such a specific purpose (essentially a High Definition cosmetic is one designed not to look dreadful for digital photography), but some of them do have their uses. I’m a fan of HD powders, they’re a lot finer […]

Foundation Week – Cream to Powder

Now, as cream to powder formulations are the ones I have most trouble with, I invited two guest bloggers to try out a brand new foundation on the market, Urban Decay Surreal Skin.  Let’s take a look at how Lina from Make Up to Make Out and Charlotte from Lady of the Lane got on with it: First of all, Lina: I was given this […]

Urban Decay Stardust Eyeshadows

I was sent these little lovelies last week by Urban Decay, and I’m delighted to bring you some swatches as I’ve not been able to find any more details about them in the UK! They’re the latest in sparkly eyeshadows, here’s what Urban Decay says about them:  “An explosion of stars. Stardust shadows’ silky texture delivers an incredible amount of sophisticated, twinkling sparkle. Boasting 40% […]

Makeover: Donna

Meet Donna:   Donna has the most lovely eyes, but she told me that she’s got out of the habit of wearing shadow recently, and was looking to learn how to apply dramatic “winged” eyeliner.  When Donna does apply colour to her eyes she uses a lot of teals and purples, but we discussed something a bit different and decided that orange was the way […]

Mini Bobbi Brown Haul – and Face of the Week

Okay, face of the fortnight, if I’m being honest … I bought these shadows from Bobbi Brown recently, in the palette there is (L-R) Flesh, Naked and Gunmetal, and on first glance I think they look a little uninspiring, but this has been one of my very favourite purchases for a while.  I had initially been intent on buying Flesh and Woodrose from BB as […]

Makeover: Sarah C

Something a little different this week.  Meet Sarah: Today we’re replicating a makeup we designed for Sarah a couple of months ago for a fancy dress party, and my inspiration for the look was Theda Bara. As always, we start with the base: We’ve used a mixture of foundations to match Sarah’s skin tone, then powdered it down with a smattering of Benefit Bluffdust.  Then […]

Face of the Week

I’m a very lazy person, and i appear to be addicted to routine at the moment, so whatever makeup I find myself wearing on a Monday is what I tend to find myself wearing for the next few days! Here’s the products I’ve been wearing this week, it’s very plain and simple, but quick, and pretty. Organic Surge Blissful Daily Moisturiser (which I’m trialling for a […]

Eye of the Day – Updated!

So, I decided that yesterday’s picture of my eyemakeup wasn’t the clearest, so I’ve redone it: And here it is with the Urban Decay eyeliner in Ecstasy more clearly visible: A cheery look for a Friday me thinks. Products used: MAC Paint – Untitled (as base) MAC Dovefeather in the inner corner by Terry Black Grape in the outer corner Urban Decay liquid liner in […]

Review – Eyeshadow Primers – The Results!

So, some 13 hours wear later, here’s how we’re looking: There’s some significant fading on both, but this is an eyeshadow that lasts an hour, maybe two without a primer, so that’s only to be expected. Both also have creasing, but again, on an eyeshadow that ordinarily simply disappears into the ether, this is really to be expected. If I were judging this simply on […]
