thol woosh of cool and calming lavender it s a joy to apply smooth silky it doesn t drag and feels lovely on the pits but it doesn t bloody work at all ever you will smell bad you get maybe an hours smell protection tops i noticed earlier this week that i was getting a bit whiffy towards lunchtime and bear in mind i have a smell disability that renders body smells almost entirely invisible to me so if i could smell it god alone knows how fragrant i have been to others but even in spite of scrupulous daily pit hygiene as a recovering anosmic multiple pit washings and deodorant applications are a daily paranoid fact of life this stuff is a dud a big fat smelly dud shame i d been hoping to move from the triple strength chemical aluminium heavy stuff i ve been relying on for the last couple of years since i lost my sense of smell but it looks like this was not the greatest place to start jason calming lavender deodorant stick you stink share posted by get lippie at 08 50 1 comment tuesday 11 april 2017 back soon get lippie the blog is just having a short break whilst get lippie the writer finds that having a full time job and trying to write a book whilst still having an actual life at the are all making things just a bit hectic i ll be back soon bigger better and smellier ha ha than ever i promise in the meantime i ll pop in every now and again with the occasional review and links to things i ve written filmed recorded elsewhere see you in the summer share posted by get lippie at 15 23 no comments monday 20 march 2017 incrediblemedicine on bbc2 this week 9pm 22nd march or the story of how i accidentally became one of the most extraordinary people in the world i got an email last july asking me if i wanted to take part in a documentary about my smell loss i get quite a few emails regarding my anosmia every week i write about it a lot lets face it so didn t particularly pay any special attention to this one i responded asked for more details then found myself having a long long conversation with a bbc researcher and got very very excited about being on the telly then heard nothing for ages but before i get into the whys and hows of being featured in a tiny way on a major documentary series let s back up a moment and talk about why the bbc wanted to feature me and my story at all i m not one of the biggest or best bloggers after all so why me well my name is louise woollam and i m the perfume writer who lost their sense of smell in what could be seen as a dumb cosmic joke it s funny really a person who writes gently amusing occasionally award nominated prose about fragrance on the internet loses their sense of smell and then whines about it continually for several years let s make some telly about it yes i d be rolling my eyes about now if i were reading this too it s fine get it out of your system i m going to tell you more about it regardless this time three years ago in 2014 i had a perfectly normal sense of smell and had just not won a fragrance writing award it s fine i m genuinely not bitter it was about fragrances from the pound shop no one ever won a fancy pants award writing about those but i was just about to catch the cold that turned my life upside down that cold didn t feel much different to any other cold but the after effects still linger to this day a life without smell whether or not you relied upon your nose as much as i did back in the before is grey and dull and stressful and is also one where the simplest of pleasures to distract yourself such as a glass of wine or a great meal or even a cup of coffee or the smell of a hug from your loved ones are denied to you i spent the best part of a year getting used to my new smell free life which was surreal and bonkers and hugely isolating but then things got worse which lead me to another different life this time two years ago back in 2015 i was deep in the blackest pit of despair you can ever imagine life had segued from my anosmic glass box existence to living in a surreal smell landscape where every single item you encounter in life from shower gel to toothpaste takeaway curry to a supermarket sandwich and let us not even mention the circle of hell that is a kitchen to parosmic to even the smell of your own wet hair could make you throw up no matter where you were when something as simple as a colleague accidentally making me some coffee instead of tea would mean that you might have to leave the office for the day or just walking past someone smoking in the street would also mean puking and weeping the absolute worst day of my existence happened around this time when after a fight about perfume on facebook where else i found myself face down on the floor of the bathroom covered in puke because the smell of my hot wet hair smelled so damn bad and i realised i was wondering whether or not i could go on anosmia may have ruined my life but parosmia nearly killed me nothing smelled good nothing tasted good nothing felt good i couldn t get away from the smells and i was crippled by them so much on a daily basis that there were days i could barely leave the house my ent doctor told me two things during this time you know that michael hutchence he lost his sense of smell you know and some people think that lead him to kill himself well to say i have some sympathy with michael hutchence on this one would be a mild understatement i have wondered at several points if possibly michael hutchence and i shared the same ent i was so damn angry at this idiot for saying this to me i can t even begin to describe my feelings about it right now at a different visit i was crippled crying and on my knees begging for help thinking that i was insane in the face of these smells when he delivered his real zinger one day you ll back on this and laugh essentially suck it up suck it up can you imagine a doctor saying this if i d gone blind from that cold or deaf it d be unacceptable but because it s only smell it s considered fine by the medical community to dismiss the problem smell is the least of the senses in that sense well bollocks to that thinking say i smell is important and medics dismiss it to the intense frustration of their smell disabled patients and doctors who tell patients to get used to it deserve scorn not admiration whilst i can in fact laugh about some of my experiences now there was literally nothing funny about the situation i found myself in fearing insanity and completely unsupported by my specialist medical team i was misunderstood generally it was hell the truth is that the sense of smell is a neglected one and even in circles where people really appreciate smells there is a lot of mistruth spoken about anosmia and to a much lesser extent parosmia by people who rely on spreading fear about losing your sense of smell for their own living there are more than a couple of master perfumers who need to learn more about smell loss to be honest but i shall mention no names here anyway i digress i have to say here that i m on the lucky anosmics i m recovering thanks to my own damn stubbornness in refusing to give up wearing and writing about perfume yes even with no sense of smell and especially with a distorted sense of smell it turns out i was unconsciously smell training myself throughout this time i d read about smell training back when i was deeply parosmic and just the thought of deliberately smelling aromatherapy oils particularly given my deep antipathy towards woo medicine anyway when i just knew that would make me sick struck me as a terrible idea nonetheless i doggedly wore a different perfume every day smelled it deliberately regardless of the reaction and wrote a line or two about it on instagram even if what i wrote was mostly just a memory there are now over 400 of my mini reviews on instagram via the hashtag lipsnspritz through doing this i discovered that there in fact were things i could smell properly and i have even with the help of perfumer sarah mccartney created a couple of fragrances that smell good to me and smell good to other people too which is an amazing thing to have been given the opportunity to do one of them donates funds to fifth sense a pressure group that helps out other people with smell and taste disorders smell training even in as haphazard a way as i discovered it has for me given me some of my life back there are still things i can t really smell not being able to smell anything burning is a particular worry not being able to smell farts slightly less so and trying to review perfumes is more akin to trying to do a jigsaw puzzle with my nose than making up a story to go with a pretty smell which is basically what it used to be nonetheless i am persisting and i will continue to do so the three jasmine awards i was nominated for by the fragrance foundation last year remain a huge point of pride even though i didn t win again and i it remain an ambition of mine to be the first post anosmic perfume writer ever to win a jasmine award one day i m hoping to do more work in the smell training arena in the coming months too i m speaking at the royal school of medicine in a couple of months and you can bet if i could remember my idiot ent s name i d be forcing him to listen to what i have to say about my treatment from him i will say this though my gp was amazing and i did get more help from him and support than i did from any specialist i saw during that time he was a lifesaver literally so er yeah that was a really long way of getting around to saying that the bbc eventually did get back to me and i spent two hugely amusing days last year being followed around by tv crews doing deeply random things and i really hope the film gets across just some of the difficulties of being anosmic and parosmic i m terrified of watching it the bbc haven t let me have an advance copy in spite of me begging for one on several occasions damn their eyes but i do know i d have been hugely grateful if someone else with the condition had spoken out about it back when things were at their darkest for me life isn t dark any more and i know i m not alone in suffering these conditions and that s a huge relief if my little film helps anyone else then whatever kind of perfumed wanker i look like come wednesday evening it will have been worth it bbc2 9pm wednesday 22nd march be there me i ll be cringing behind the sofa for several days afterward if you tweet i m get_lippie and the hashtag is incrediblemedicine i m hugely indebted to linda pilkington at ormonde jayne and navabi as well as everyone else linked to in this article such as sarah mccartney smell training and fifth sense for their help and assistance in the making of this film thank you stop laughing at the back this was the working title of the show and it s what it ll be transmitted as in international markets faints the fine print squeeeeeeeeeee this post http www getlippie com 2017 03 incredible medicine extraordinary

sunday 19 march 2017 beauty pie the buyers club for beauty lovers so beauty pie then launched with no little amount of hyperbole towards the end of last year by marcia kilgore the founder of amongst others soap glory and fitflop hyped as makeup without the markup the website boasts of luxury lipsticks from 2 84 eyeshadow palettes from 6 94 and foundations from 4 75 sounds amazing right by cutting out the middleman using generic packaging and charging a 10 per month subscription fee beauty pie acts like a buyers club for loyal beauty fans wanting bargains on high end cosmetics i was sent a box of the hero products just before christmas alas mostly unusable because of the random too brown and nude colour selections alongside a free 3 month membership and i recently activated that membership and made some more suitable purchases to test out the service before i finished finalising my thoughts before i get into opinions though here are some facts each product description on beauty pie gives you the member price and the non member price your 10 subscription fee allows you to buy 100 worth at the non member prices of products which is realistically around three or four products depending on what you buy your minimum membership period is three months meaning that if you only find a single product or two that you fancy each month then they will have cost you using the example products above 2 84 6 94 4 75 shipping 5 22 x3 handling 2 of order cost x3 30 membership fee which is around 60 48 meaning that each product actually cost you 20 16 of course if you ordered all three products at once you d save yourself 10 44 in postage fees and i ve used the minimum fee here it s changeable depending on what you order making each product cost 16 68 and at present it is definitely entirely possible that there is only one or two products that you d feel like buying each month because the selection is definitely limited it took me till march to activate my free membership because when i first went to fill my basket back in december there simply wasn t anything that i fancied buying there were several things i stuck in my basket i didn t particularly want them and they were there just to make the most of actually placing an order but i was underwhelmed now admittedly i m a beauty addict and there isn t much i don t have i could wear a different lipstick every day for at least the next 6 months without a repeat probably but even so i found the pickings thin however if you don t make a purchase in a particular month your 100 allowance or any unspent allowance if you didn t fill your basket rolls forward so if you join and don t buy till your third month you d have a 300 allowance and would make a saving on the postage costs it kind of evens out selection wise things have definitely improved recently with the addition of the eyeshadow palettes which i think have been well selected colourwise and some accessories like a brush kit but there is for me still not a huge amount to choose from this will change throughout the year as they add more and more lines and i believe skincare launches in april but it s that element of picking and choosing that is problematic for me because most of the pictures on the beauty pie website are cgi and the colours are incredibly difficult to select as a result there are no swatches no natural light no photographs of the products in use and the descriptions are minimalistic at best the website is great however for listing the breakdowns of the prices and for featuring complete lists of the ingredients i noticed that practically everything is listed as paraben and fragrance free i ll come back to fragrance though and the entire range is also cruelty free which is definitely something to be applauded l r
