Kooky Spooky leggings from Boohoo.com
So by now we’ve established that I pretty much live in leggings. They’re comfortable, versatile and in this case, completely bonkers. Behold the latest addition to my leggings collection, the Jada Skeleton Print Leggings from Boohoo.com. The skeleton leggings retail at £10 – not a bad investment considering these will see me through to Halloween. I was scared these were going to be a bit see through but the material is actually quite thick and opaque and surprisingly flattering! They sit quite low on the hips, which I don’t really like but the utter craziness of them makes up for that small fault. Half the fun of these is that…

A Beautiful Brand: Beauty Works West
If you’ve been visiting Lippy in London for a while, you may have noticed that I’ve featured a few products from Notting Hill based Medispa and Online Boutique Beauty Works West. What you may not know however, is that Beauty Works West is also a brand in itself, offering a range of scrumptious body, hair and bath products as well as beautiful candles. The luxurious concoctions were all developed by world renowned anti-ageing expert, Dr. Daniel Sister, so you know you’re in very capable hands with these gorgeous products! I’ve been trialing the Anti-Ageing Body Cream and the Cleanse Organic Facial Cloths and I’m so pleased with the performance and all round gorgeousness…

Tan on Trial #2: Beautisol Summer Glow
As a bit of a clumsy pants, I usually steer clear of fake tanning lotions, because I tend to end up either covered in the stuff or with legs so streaky I’m confined to jeans for the next week. My technique needs work so far as lotions go, so I was apprehensive (yet extremely thankful) when I received a bottle of Beautisol Summer Glow in my iFabbo goody bag a couple of weeks back. As Susan Jeffers says, one must feel the fear and do it anyway, so I pulled on the latex gloves that came with the tanner and off I went. Check out the before and after: What…

Strawberry Curlers!
After perusing the wonderful musings of Terri Lowe a little while ago, I was introduced to these rather unusual and extremely kawaii hair rollers. Essentially, they’re giant foam strawberries that you use like regular rollers, but you get the bonus delight of looking like a walking strawberry patch. Observe: These unusual little contraptions are affordable, hilarious and squidgy enough to allow for a relatively pain free slumber. Like regular velcro rollers, you simply curl your hair up in these but the twist is that the strawberries are almost in two halves, with a thinner piece of sponge in the middle.This thin centre of the strawberry is the part that you wrap your…

Supporting Team GB in Style…
…with a little help from Next. In preparation for a little thing known as the OLYMPIC GAMES, the inventive lot at Next have created two scarves so we can get all patriotic and literally ‘wear’ our pride when London hosts the games next month. There are 2 designs available – the Official Team GB Scarf and the Official Paralympics GB scarf and both come in two different sizes, a small bandana size and a larger scarf size. I have the small Paralympics GB scarf/bandana and I wanted to show you how I will be wearing it. I’m a vintage lover and I think the small size is perfect for a…

Fake Tan Files: Prtty Peaushun Review
In honour of the beginning of Summer, I’m going to be putting a series of faux tanners, bronzers and body beautifiers to the test and sharing my thoughts on Lippy in London. First off the block is something a little unusual, a little different yet truly fantastic – the Prtty Peaushun Skin Tight Body Lotion. Prtty Peaushun ( pronounced pretty potion) is a body lotion with a twist – an illuminating, slimming, moisturising, light reflecting bronzing oil that hides imperfections and gives the skin an oh-so-flattering healthy glow. What does it do? The potion promises to minimize the appearance of cellulite, varicose veins, stretch marks and various other lumps, bumps and bits…
