Those who attended were treated to coffee and croissants as well as a demonstration of beauty products.
Sammi from Clarins (seen in the photo left in Stringer's lovely Coffee Shop on the second floor) explained about the importance of a good beauty routine and showed us how to care for our fragile eye area by putting a tiny, rice grain sized dot of eye serum on our ring finger before gently tapping the area along the bone under the eye - outwards -and again on the bone under the eyebrow - again outwards - so as to decongest and drain any bags and puffiness.
Then it was time to show us eyeshadows and one brave lady volunteered so that Sammi could show us some lovely, warm browns and peachy colours, finishing with gold. And last but not least, concealer to even out any anomalies in skin tone under the eye area. Lengthening and strengthening black mascara finished the look and everyone thought the difference was amazing.
The ladies of Lytham Inner Wheel organised a Raffle and all proceeds from the £5 tickets went to Harbour House. Everyone went downstairs to the Beauty Department for the drawing of the raffle. In all just over £60 was raised for Harbour House.
While on the second floor of Stringers, we noticed some really fantastic clothes for men - especially shirts, sweaters and underwear so we are definitely heading back for a better look.
Thank you to Clarins, Dior, Stringers and the ladies of Lytham Inner Wheel for a delightful morning and for bringing the charity Harbour House to our attention.
