How To: Get the Regal Look this Jubilee

So, who watched the TV footage of the Jubilee? I have to admit, we were out for most of the day but I had it all on record to watch soon.

 I just wanted to make you aware of this fun make-up Kate Middleton-inspired tutorial from Boots.

While working in Boots' head office, I assisted on this shoot - and my very own Jubilee mug (given as a gift by a friend of mine) features in the video. See if you can spot the Queen.

 

Also, my very talented former Boots colleague Meena has created this tres patriotic Jubilee nail art with 17 products.

Impressive, eh? I wish I had a steady enough hand to put together something as lovely as this.

Take a look at 17's Facebook page for more inspiration, or head to the Boots blog to find out how Meena achieved this look.

Tomorrow is when the real Jubilee fun starts for me. We're heading to a family Jubilee barbecue and I'll be whipping up a Victoria sponge and some treats from the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook for the occasion.

How did you spend today?
