Stamford Living writer Kate Cadman enjoys some organic pampering at Clean Beauty Living
I
F you are lucky enough to spend an hour or two with Laura Thomson-Dunne at her newlyopened studio above The Loft Hair Boutique on St Paul’s Street, you are likely to leave feeling Kate Cadman refreshed, revived, pampered and incredibly indulged! I was lucky enough to try out an organic facial and make up session which left me glowing radiantly for the rest of the day. The award-winning Pinks Boutique range is certified organic by the Soil Association. “I like to offer holistic, non-toxic beauty treatments which make people feel confident about their appearance and the products they are using,” explains Laura. The luxury facial I received included 30 minutes of intensive, heavenly face, neck and foot massage – a wonderful bonus! Following my facial, I had an hour’s make up application. Throughout this session Laura took the time to talk to me about my skin, eye colour and explain what products she was using and why. She included her top three, tried and tested, favourite make up brands - RMS, Ilia and Well People. The result was a subtle make up finish with smoky eyes - perfect as I’d requested a fairly natural look with just a little bit of an eye thing going on. Oh, and just to add to the overall experience I got a cuddle with Jimmy Laura’s seven-year-old chihuahua who was beautifully well-behaved and unbelievably cute too! • To make an appointment email: hello@ ltdbeauty.co.uk or Tel: 01780 757781 or 07399 591343. The Pinks Boutique organic facial costs £50 and make up application £50 (a make up tutorial costs £65).
