Hi, I am Ari
37 years old and mommy of two adorable girls. Together with my sweet little family I enjoy living in Berlin, traveling to places, working as an online editor & make up artist and writing this blog.
AriStippa.com, former known as “PrimerAndLacquer.com”, was launched in 2011 with the focus on telling beauty stories, showing beauty routines and backstage scenes. Pretty fast it became more and more of a personal beauty, fashion and lifestyle diary. I started showing my personal looks, favorite products and sharing more of the things that fuel my day. In 2018 I’ve decided to change the blog name into Ari Stippa.
