I've been using Lily Lolo foundation for quite a few months now and I love it - much better than any other MMU brand I have ever tried - though as Padmita stated, the coverage isnt fantastic, however I found that by mixing in two samples of concealer in with the foundation (and creating a huge mess in the process) it becomes perfect.
This also allows me to mix my perfect colour, as Porcelain is just the tinest bit too light for me and the concealer darkens it slightly for me. Also, on the days I need even more coverage, I found spraying water (or fix + or whatever) over a layer of MU, letting that set and then reapplying allows you to build up the coverage without caking - this also makes it last longer.
I dont know why, but strangly this foundation doesnt apply to its optimum performance with a kabuki, I get better results with a latex sponge, and absolutely awazingly flawless results by using a normal foundation brush and sort of 'dabbing' it in.

I love Lily Lolo! It's a great everyday foundation - light to medium layerable coverage, and it isn't cakey or heavy. What I particularly love about it is that it makes my skin look smoother somehow. I'm NC35 and Butterscotch is my Lily Lolo shade.

Well, a year on, I'm still using it every day!
Why don't you buy some 99p sample pots, and see what you think for yourself? It's not mch to pay, and at least you can satisfy your curiosity!

Have ordered some samples.
Someone reccomended them to me, and to be fair, at 99p it would hardly be an expensive mistake if I don't like them.
What I loved was that their blushes were only 49p per sample. I just went for one of each because I have never found a blush that I love yet.
I am also trying the matte finishing powder. I found that the MAC finishing powder was a little sparkly for my liking, so I am hoping this matte one will be what I am looking for
I have heard fantastic things about their brushes as well. Has anyone here tried them?
I am thinking about getting a MAC 182 and a 168 but if the Lily Lolo ones are good then I will probably go for them instead because they are cheaper

I just bought some of the foundation today.
I'm lucky enough to have this product stocked in a local beauty salon, I was actually quite shocked as our town is very small!
The lady colour matched me, and I was happy that the colour I'd be looking at on the site and thought I would match was indeed the colour she picked!
I've had a play with it at home with my 187 and I'm happy so far, of course having only had it for about 4 hours I can't give any decent review of the product!
@LisaOrestea
I was able to use a kabuki (sp?) brush from this line today while I was in the beauty salon. I've never used one before so can only go on this initial reaction, but it was lovely and soft, and made the foundation very easy to apply.
I also had a look at some of the other brushes, and they look very well made.
I hope this helps you a little.

Thankyou for that, I think I will definatly pick one up (especially since they do a set for £34 with the kabuki, a full sized foundation and a full sized finishing powder! Bargin!)
I got my samples through today
I absolutely love the foundation (in the buff) and the finishing powder (flawless matte) so I am gonna get full sizes of both of those.
I didn't think much of the concealer. I have never really been a fan of powder concealers anyway so I didn't really expect to like it, but the coverage was pretty bad, barely looked like I had tried to put any on
I used Doll Face Blush this morning. It is a really pretty colour but didn't really suit me at all. Not much colour but ALOT of sparkle. I can imagine it would look gorgeous on some people...just not me
I also bought "stardust" highligher (which for some reason I didnt try today :S must have forgotten) Rosebud blush and Real Rouge blush (which looks stunning in the packet, but just a little loud for daytime wear! Am really looking forward to trying it out though!)
Once I use the other products I will let people know what I think of them
but so far, I wholeheartedly reccomend that people try the foundation and finishing powder..because I think they are lovely

Oooh! In the Buff is what I have too!
I'm so happy with the colour, I've never had such a great colour match before.
Do you have oily/combination skin?
I was thinking that the Flawless Matte might be helpful for my oily skin!

Yeah I do have quite oily skin.
Especially on chin for some reason :S
I have been shine free all day
My only complaint was that the pots that the samples came in were so small that when I tried to get a brush in...loads of the product flew out
But this obviously won't be a problem with the full size.
So yeah. It has lasted (with no retouching) from 9 - 6 pretty much
And thats better than any other face product I have tried.

I just ordered a few samples, I can't wait to try them out! I'm currently using Maybelline mineral makeup so it will be interesting to see how Lily Lolo compares.
