Lord & Berry Expert Make-up Artist Elkie Phillips explains how blushing brides can create the hottest make-up trends for the summer season.  Tight-lining

Tight-lining is a way of applying eyeliner so close to your lashes it gives the illusion of naturally thick and dark lashes. This especially useful for people with less lashes than most or to give that extra dimension to an everyday look.  To achieve this look I recommend a good waterproof pencil eyeliner such as Lord & Berry Smudgeproof eyeliner in Black and also a deep pigmented Kohl eyeliner such as Lord & Berrys Couture Kajal pencil eyeliner. 

A three course meal packed with aphrodisiac to get you in the mood and some top romantic tips.

On Valentine’s Day, it can often be tricky to decide on the perfect thing to do. This year, top chef Keith Goddard is sharing his insider secrets on his expert tips to prepare a seamless romantic dinner at home.

Valentine’s Day is about adding a personalised touch to the evening, from serving your partner’s favourite drink to preparing a dish using their favourite chocolate. You don’t want to spend all of your evening in the kitchen so, the number one piece of advice is to keep it simple and let the special ingredients speak for themselves.

Is this the most romantic trip ever? Well this Valentine’s Day you could be wooing your other half with one of the most romantic breaks ever – a night on an island.

Put a tick on your bucket list and treat your beloved to a trip that will see you spend the night on a defence fort built to protect England from Napolean III in the the water of The Solent. Choose from Spitbank Fort or No Man’s Fort, both of which lie between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight, and enjoy a night of luxury not to be forgotten. During your night on the unique forts guests will receive a bottle of Laurent Perrier to pop, a box of chocolates and of course a red rose.

The Oxford English Dictionary dates the earliest recorded honeymoon as the 16th Century. But the practice really took off during the 1800s when wealthy couples would travel Europe to visit family members who were unable to make the wedding.

They often took friends, servants and family with them. Not such a popular idea for modern day couples who relish the time alone after the madness of the wedding planning. The idea of travel immediately following the Big Day is so well-established nowadays that 99% of couples who choose a traditional wedding will plan a honeymoon to follow.
