Serena Linley Provence




I had the pleasure of working with Serena Linley yesterday, in her very beautiful shop in Walton Street .Serena has created a beautiful range of soaps,candles , creams and fragrances  inspired by the Lavender grown in Provence. All the products have been created and tested  with a chemist and you can have a bespoke soap made according to the PH of your skin and the hardness of your water. At the moment i am working my way through trying the gorgeous range of room fragrances such as 'Pine needles and Eucalyptus' , 'Almond and Vanilla' , 'Narcissus and Frangipani' and many more. I am also testing the lavender scented body lotion which is so light it is immediately absorbed in to the skin and smells amazing, and the Essential Day Care lotion with Iris Flower Extract for my skin type....I will report back on this soon!

Find your perfect Clinique Mascara



Last night i went to a lovely cocktails and Mascara event at Clinique, a great reminder that they have a macara for absolutely everyone no matter what your preferences, and a primer. I tried out the High Impact mascara which gives dramatic thick and separated lashes.High definition gives extreme length and definition and if you are looking for a mascara for ease of removal with hot water try the Lash Power mascara .My favourite mascara from the range is the bottom lash mascara with a tiny brush making application bottom lashes super easy.
So whether you want long,curly,glossy,thick,smear proof,natural or high impact lashes check out Clinique !

Summer Outdoor Sport Beauty Essentials



Inspired by my "Race for Life" for cancer run on 03/07/11 in Blackheath i wanted to share my basic "Beauty" essentials to help get through a 10k run [or any outdoor summer sports.]

WATER -Before,during and after. Sounds obvious, but just a small amount of dehydration will result in a drop in energy levels.
SUNSCREEN- I used Clinique body spray in SPF 25 which is incredibly effective and easy to apply.Also Clinique Targeted Protection stick in SPF 35 which is perfect for lips, shoulders and other burn-prone areas.
FOOTPROTECTION-Obviously you will be wearing well cushioned trainers [I went Runners Need in Canary Wharf where they analyse  your gait in order to help find the most suitable trainers] But on the day it is a must to protect your feet from painful blisters. Simply coat your feet in a thick greasy cream inside your socks. I used Keihls Imperial Body Balm but you could use good old Vaseline.
SUNGLASSES- Protecting your eyes from sun and dust and pollution is a must! Get a big pair of bug eyes that fit securely!
CLEANSING WIPES- I took Body Shop Gentle Wipes with Vitamin E
MAKE-UP . Ok well all you need is some gorgeous Nail Varnish! Any other make-up on your face will simply block pores and end up everywhere! So i wore Barry M Nail Paint in Shocking Pink 272.

Happy Running !
