Yes I know the title does sound a bit like it might be an exercise but really it's not! It's what I generally start doing around mid-September to stop having chapped lips over winter.
So during the day is a bit boring and basic but if I'm at college I just use one of my MAC tinted lip conditioners (in Petting Pink and Gentle Coral) or if I'm at home or work I'll use a Lush lip balm (current favourite Maple Taffy YUM!). The main routine (if you can really call it that) comes in just before I go to sleep. Firstly I scrub my lips with a lip scrub (I'm currently using Lush's Bubblegum sugar scrub) or a dry toothbrush to exfoliate your lips of the dead skin. This is then followed up by a lip balm (currently using Lush's Ultrabalm) and I would recommend definitely using a lip balm or butter and it can sink in overnight so completely slap it on!
Sorry for the lack of pictures I just forgot to take some and now it's dark. I also couldn't have made this post possible without the amazingness that is the spell checker on Google Chrome and I'm pretty sure it's sick of drawing red lines on my screen.
Disclaimer - I was given the lush products for free as I work there but these are my honest opinions and you don't have to buy them if you don't like them!

NOTD - OPI for Sephora Metro Chic
I asked my friend to pick this up for me when she went to America and she said "of course any excuse to go into Sephora!" Sorry for the slight wear at the end of the nails but this was taken 4! days into wearing it! I have found a new way to make my nail varnish last longer and I do this by buffing my nails before I paint them and they tend to last a good 4/5 days. The buffer I have been using Ms Manicure In The Buff-3 Way Nail Buffer and I prefer this as it doesn't have the files on some of the sides so I don't end up slipping and sandpapering my nails! Anyway back to the actual colour it's a nice grey colour that's quite wearable for autumn.
