How To: Mummy's Chicken Soup
If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram then you'd know that this week has been a bit of a write-off for me because I spent the first 3 days really sick in bed. The photo above is evidence! It's that time of year when everyone gets a cold or if you're really lucky the flu. It seems impossible to avoid and I know so many people who have it at the moment!
NARS Primers
I'm Lily and I'm a primerholic. It's a step in my routine that I will never miss out. I think most people think primers are only for those with oily skin but that's so not the case.
Evening Skincare Routine
Just a little update of the skincare products I'm using at the moment. Most of my skincare routine takes place in the evening as I'm really not a morning person and in this video I talk through my favourite products I'm using at the moment!
Topshop Dark Side of Nude
I've been playing with Panther and Prism which are both gorgeous products. Panther is a pretty black and silver glitter that can be worn on it's own or over another polish. The glitter is quite sparse so I'd recommend wearing it over another colour like black or burgundy. It's dark and edgy but pretty and Christmassy at the same time!
Corpse Bride Halloween Makeup
For those of you who haven't yet seen this video, I wanted to get it up before Halloween in case you wanted to give it a go!
Tresemmé Texture Style
One of my favourite looks I saw at London Fashion Week was at Topshop Unique and if you've always wanted to get that tousled, sexy hair look, then this is how! Tresemmé have launched four new products to help you get messy hair without the damage that comes with backcombing.
Current Nail Care Routine
For someone who paints their nails every other day, I'm really awful at actually looking after my nails. I've slowly been forcing myself to take better care of my nails and although I'm still pretty lazy I am getting a bit better.
Autumn Perfume Picks
I've stuck to the same perfumes for most of my adult life... so having these two in my life is quite exciting for me. Although these are not marketed specifically as Autumn perfumes, they are to me so that's what I'm calling them!
In-n-Out in London
I was the Tuesday just gone and my boyfriend (despite being new to Twitter AND In-n-Out burgers) was the one to bring it to my attention. The power of Twitter meant news was quickly spreading about the pop-up In-n-Out burger that would be setting up shop for only 4 hours for one day only in London.
Ciaté Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar
Who needs chocolate eh? Ok... let's not go that far. To be fair Christmas is filled with so much chocolate anyway (anyone else hang chocolate off the tree?? We do!) so I'm more than happy to replace my Cadbury's advent calendar with this beauty.
A walk in the park
Going for a walk is a bit of a weekly routine for myself, my boyfriend and my parents and last weekend we went to Hampstead Heath. It's my favourite place to walk when the weather is nice and especially when the leaves start changing colour. The Summer was so wet that it's taking a bit longer this year, but soon all the leaves will be different shades of brown and orange and everything will look beautiful.
Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipsticks
I recently got introduced to Rimmel's A/W collection and I'm so excited that they'll be bringing out a new range of Kate Moss lipsticks, as you know they're my favourite.
Did Some Shopping #5
I looked at my list of 'things I've bought' recently and realised I was way overdue a Shopping video. I think since the weather has changed I've been craving a new wardrobe and a clear out/sort out of my Summer clothes.
Giorgio Armani Maestro Complexion Perfector
The first product to be released is the Maestro complexion perfector and I completely understand why they don't want to call it a foundation, because it really is quite different to most foundations.
Duck & Waffle, London
This is not so much a review, actually none of my food posts are reviews as such, more 'I went here and this is what I thought'. The lovely people at Tresemmé treated a group of us to dinner at Duck & Waffle and it was definitely a night to remember.
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear
When a product claims to be long wearing I like to put it to the test so I wore these products every day that I knew I'd be out the house from 8am to around 11pm and that was about 8 days within a 2 week period. The results were incredible and I'm so excited about it.
MAC Makeover
I know I said all the London Fashion Week posts would be done but I forgot about this one! Whilst in between shows I had a bit of spare time around Somerset House so I booked myself in for a MAC makeover. I'd heard great things about them in the past so Zoe and I ran straight there on the first day to book our slot.
