I have one of the old Guerlain refillable lipsticks and cases and hardly used it as the lipstick wasn’t fantastic, and the case was just too heavy.

It was my most-regretted makeup purchase for a while, because of how expensive it was and how little I used it.
See when I tested it in store I found the case quite light haha. Yes I’ve heard that unfortunately the lipsticks aren’t the best which is a shame because I love the idea. Similarly with the Carolina Herarra lipsticks where you can customise the case, add charms etc which is cute and everything but the lipstick itself just doesn’t stack up.

Purchased the Kitten Brow. Excited. If it lives up to the claims it will be a holy grail product for me and my wild crazy brows 🤞

If anyone can see a video can you link it for us non emeralds? I lost my status a while back as I’ve been buying from Space NK/liberty which is annoying x

Yes and the Liberty bag would be more than £15 so all the other products are “freebies”.
Unfortunately I didn’t like her cleanser (I prefer a cream over a gel cleanser), I wear brown mascara not black, the brow product didn’t interest me at launch and I already have the blush in Rose Madder so £140 would be a waste of money for me.
i do like the bag though but do I need another bag? No.

Still loving her new concealers though and I see the YouTube reviews are starting to filter through.
I dont mind the cleanser not my fave but it's ok for me. I've not tried any of the other products, I should wear brown mascara but I always go for black and I like a clear brow gel. Not tried any of the balms.

Thinking of making a purchase could sell.or gift bits I don't think I would use like the Sam McKnight. I love the bag (don't need a bag but...)

I’ve got sausage fingers so none of the rings, although gorgeous would fit my fingers and even resized, would probably look too dainty on me

Wiki says she is 54.
It’s a shame she was born in New Zealand. If she was born in England I could’ve looked up her birth registration to check the year.


So she’s just 2 years younger than Caroline Hirons.
What‘s the saying? At 50 you get the face you deserve! 😁

EDIT: just checked on Companies House and it states Lisa was born in June 1966. 😮
60 this year. Wow I thought she looked great for early 50s but for almost 60, I’m in awe.
I thought it was a misprint as sometimes, though rarely, Company House makes mistakes. But other documents over differing years state June 1966 too!

I wonder why she changed from being a person with significant control in March this year but Leb Holdings (which I guess is Lisa Eldridge Beauty?) did. A business thing?

Well the liquid lurex eyeshadow I got for Christmas was a bust. The sales assistant in liberty gave me the wrong one! It’s a bronzey shade and looks dreadful against my pale skin. If anyone wants it gimme a shout!

I'm no longer an Emerald either so would love to see it. I probably would not purchase anything til I'm back in the UK which won't be until January. I don't NEED stuff but as I love Lisa's tint and foundation I'm tempted by the concealer. tbh the one I use most is a brightening concealer from Sephora for my undereyes cause God I need it and it doesn't sink into the lines.

Never heard of Sarah Creal - looks appealing, I'm newly 40 and have pretty good skin still just undereye wrinkles galore from a lower bleph removing undereye skin so it's like an accordion. Looks better than it did but I've never had smooth undereyes! I've got deep-set eyes as well so it makes it look worse (I've considered filler but it scares me).

I get that. They're similar I agree but are different. Similar to some of the lipsticks though. I've said it before but I'll say it again - I'm a magpie with her stuff.


The lavender one is darker and greyer than Iona.

Great thinking about the olive as a base, I hadn't considered that. Thank you!
Yes it looked more purpley. Not my favourite colour for eyeshadow though - even though Betty is one of my favourite palettes, so maybe im just in denial! I prefer warm or neutral to cool. I only got Iona to wear as a base under Betty.

I’ve had a stinking cold since my LE order arrived so I’ve not worn them yet. 😢

It came through on an email yesterday afternoon. Emeralds only for 24 hours IIRC, so shortly anyone can buy them.
I did get the email but missed it.
I’m not going for any this time.
I have 2 liquid mattes already and they’re not different enough for me.
