Lisa Eldridge 💄

[50sGirl]

Thanks @JaneRev for your detailed update. I’m glad you had a lovely day and Lisa’s Liberty counter was all that you hoped it would be.

Long winded and boring?? Ffs I did go on a bit

Not at all! I really enjoyed reading it! I’m weird, I love reading reviews of stuff I already have, I sit there nodding and thinking ‘yes! I thought that!’ (I’m not being sarky, just strange )

 

[elliebee27]

I'd love to get some of the balms. We'll be back in the UK in about a month (anniversary trip plus visiting extended family!) for a few weeks so I am going to try to hunt them down! I am a big balm girl, but I have so many lipsticks and balms in my drawers. I went and reorganized my makeup and have so many things I don't use but the LE stuff, I do constantly now.

Does the balm last or is it one of those that fades very quickly?

I have very hooded eyes so can never do eyeliner and just do boring eyeshadow looks since you usually can't see it anyway!

The skin tint is gorgeous and definitely won’t sit in fine lines as it’s so hydrating. Can you vouch for Lisa’s claims that the eyeshadows are very smoothing on the lid?

Absolutely yes. No creases in mine at all the past couple of days.

 

[PepsiJohn]

I’ve just ordered her mascara. Please tell me it’s worth it because I really didn’t need it.

 

[Missmopps]

I thought the same!
@Missmopps are they natural or enhanced? (You don’t have to answer if you don’t wish to!)
Which shade Skin Tint are you please?

@elliebee27 I think I’m going to place an order. I’m T3 so if you’re interested I could post pics once I’ve received them but I’m afraid I don’t have as perfect lips as Missmopps!

I’m a shade T6 in the tint. Awww shucks with all the compliments I’m blushing! No enhancements, I’d rather spend on makeup The sculpting lip pencils really do help if you want to make the lips look slightly bigger in a really natural way.

Really really regretting not buying the lip liner the assistant used on me when I bought rose official - I breezily said no as I didn't think lip liners made much difference, but I can't get RO to look the same. Somehow the liner they used made RO look more like a very soft red on me. So annoying I can't replicate it!

Anyone who was recommended RO on counter, did they also sell you a lip liner? Just wondering in case they have a standard combo they recommend. Otherwise I'll have to wait until I'm next in London to go in and ask. I knew I should have just bought the everything they suggested

How is everyone getting on with their Desert Gleam palette?
I’ve watched lots of YouTube videos and I do love it.
It’s been in my basket for a few weeks but I’ve not pressed check out yet…

I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. You can intensify the metallics as much (or as little) as you like, and the mattes are not as murky as they appear in the pan. I’m not the biggest fan of greens but this palette is very pretty on the eye. No regrets.

 

[50sGirl]

Then unlearn it! Please!
I also hate the new craze of calling items “she”. *holds up a palette* “Isn’t she pretty?” You mean isn’t IT pretty! Sorry the heat is making me get nicer than usual!

I’m glad you like Simone. I wore it yesterday. No other make up just lippie. It’s perfect for that.
Let us know your thoughts on Desert Gleam please. Or perhaps not, I’m so weak what can I say?
Tbh, I’m not into clothes, shoes or handbags but I can’t resist make up.

I’ve 2 ND palettes - I Need a Nude and Glam.

Sorry to quote myself but BIB should read Tetchier not nicer!

 

[LittleMissOnions]

I am enabled by you all, I got the balm in Epanoui and the mascara. I am in love with my Clinique mascara but thought I'd try something new!

Please let us know your thoughts, these are both in my basket waiting for a weak moment, be ace if you can pass on that enablement! (Well not ace for my bank account )

 

[50sGirl]

Has anyone tried Go lightly? Or seen it in real life?

Re Pillow Talk - the universal flattering shade looked awful on me.

I have it.
I’m a pale redhead and it comes out as a bright pinky coral on me. It’s hard to describe the colour. It’s my least favourite of all her lipsticks and I rarely wear it because it reminds me of a pink lipstick my mum used to wear in the 80s.
I put it on this morning so I could explain the colour to you and then promptly removed it and used my trusty Kitten Mischief. Not a fan. There are much nicer and more flattering colours imho.

Which LE lipsticks do you already own? If I have it I could then swatch Go Lightly next to it for you to compare.

 

[JaneRev]

To be honest, I'm not sure. I love Beauty Pie make up setting spray, but largely because it smells gorgeous. Maybe I don't use the LE one enough to see dramatic benefit but I do like it before and after my make up. Interested to see what the rest of her skincare range looks like, if there is one. I love how she uses her own experience with products to make what she likes and what she knows works. You can feel the whole range is a real labour of love.

I haven't tried anything from Beauty Pie, I know that the membership has changed numerous times, plus I'm a sod for paying with PayPal as I don't have a credit card.

I do really like her cleanser, unfortunately it doesn't have a smell which I do like at times. I have yet to try it with a night out goth'd up, that will be the real test. I think eventually Lisa will release more skincare

As you've said she is really passionate about what she produces, when she says it's taken X amount of years, I genuinely think it has. Equally so she'll say you can do this look with your existing make up.

Yes she has money, but she doesn't make a massive fuss. I know I keep banging on but with the corrector advice it has made a huge difference to me. I'm enjoying going through all her videos. She's a shining example of how to run a business properly
---

Could you run over her toes and say “oops sorry, your necklace dazzled me! Are those real jewels?”

I’ve 2 of Lisa’s velvet make up bags GWP but not the Liberty one.

Let me know if you have any more ideas
Ooops spasm is another one I've used before (I'm a nightmare incase you haven't gathered)

I got the most recent denim one, which is the perfect size to go away with. I have another Liberty one from a while ago that I was keeping for myself but my mum is coming down after Easter so I'll give her my spare one to keep so when her one dies (probably in 1000 years) she has another

I'm looking forward to being able to physically see her makeup in store as I'd love another lippie.

I think it looks better in those pics than the ones on Lisa's Instagram.

I like a couple of the colours and am tempted now just because it's Lisa but I must have 10 of her lipsticks already so can't really justify it...

 

[50sGirl]

Unfortunately, it’s right up my street . I’ve ordered one in Épanoui and if I like it, I’ll probably order sweet fig and meet cute.

That was my fave. I like them all except Metropolis because I don’t think that would suit me.
Unfortunately I can’t justify another splurge this month. I thought about delaying buying my son’s bedroom furniture but I checked this morning and it’s in the sale so I’ll have to make do with the myriad lip products I already own.

How lovely is Lisa’s home?

 

[50sGirl]

I really, really love the Skin Tint. It's definitely a holy grail item. I'm fair, pink-to-neutral, with oily slightly dehydrated skin. It makes my skin look great. As does the regular foundation.

Waiting on my package. It has been 5 days since an update. I want my stuff!

I love the Skin Tint too. I’m T3, which shade are you? Did you buy the Pinpoint concealer?
I tried a sample of the LE foundation but it didn’t blow me away so I’ve not purchased the full size plus I’ve others to use up first.
---

I love it too! I’m a T6 and I think it’s a perfect shade too! I think the foundation (shade 10) is a tad too yellow beige for me so I save it for evenings out where the light is more forgiving
---
Does anyone use the Elevated Glow regularly? I’ve had mine for ages (cosmic rose() and I always forget it’s there. Do you mix it in with foundation/tint or use it on high points? Any tips appreciated

I bought the Elevated Glow in Pink Moon. It doesn’t really show on my fair skin so I never reach for it. It’s the one LE item I wish I hadn’t purchased. Perhaps Crystal Nebula would've been better. I may eBay it as I’ve only used it twice.

 

[lucylucyapplejuicy]

Thank you. Where did you find that?
I’m glad I didn’t go for the lipsticks because I don’t think any would suit me.
I wasn’t tempted by the eye palette either but now I’ve seen it on Lisa…

I knew this would happen from the moment you said you weren’t going to buy one

 

[elliebee27]

@Missmopps I love it on you! ps you have the perfect lip shape, I am jealous, does that sounds weird, I don't mean it weird, I mean it as a compliment! I think I may buy it. I'm a bit more pink-fair but it would look good I think? I wear T1.

 

[Missmopps]

I don't like that type of pencil with the bevelled rim, it's a nightmare to sharpen as there's always a bit that sticks out.

Hopefully she will include a bespoke sharpener like she did with the sculpting lip pencils. I was getting really frustrated trying to sharpen my seamless black eye pencil in with an old Bobbi brown sharpener and losing lots of product that just kept falling off. I now use a spare sculpting lip sharpener for my new ground coffee pencil which works like a dream thank goodness, as these things aren’t cheap and any wastage is £££

 

[Also_smoke_and_mirrors]

I chucked the holiday packaging in the recycling with the rest of the boxes. I can't imagine keeping it. Seems a waste to get artwork done for it.

 

[Missmopps]

Reading about the lid smoothing benefits of the new liquid silks, I’m wondering if that ingredient Lisa was amazed by will be in her concealer? sounds wonderful for crepey undereyes
