My legs sometimes ache from running, yoga and squats etc. so I tend to wear my Nike’s (if I can) after my workout too. I’ve got so many pairs of leggings in my wardrobe; I think I’m obsessed. I get really excited when I go shopping and see them… sounds sad and…

Review: Lancôme Advanced Genifique

Neutrals

Developed from 14 years of research, the Lancôme Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate is the brands newest serum designed to tackle anti-aging.
