Mum-of-two Lyn Graham celebrated in style after winning The Courier and The Centre, Livingston’s Mother’s Day makeover competition.
The lucky mum from Armadale was chosen out of hundreds of nominations for an exclusive pamper prize, worth £500, thanks to a heartfelt nomination by her mum, Mary Fotheringham who said she was “a wonderful mum and this could be such a wonderful treat for her”.
When she arrived at The Centre for her special makeover, Lyn, mum to daughters Erin and Allie and who is a radiographer at the Western General Hospital, was treated first to a No7 beauty consultation and makeover with Lorna at Boots who spent time discussing which make up she would normally wear and took her out of her comfort zone with some fresh spring colours.
She was also presented with a Boots goody bag containing lots of fantastic gifts including a makeup bag, nail varnish, eye shadow palette, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss and moisturiser.
Next up was a personal shopping experience with Caroline Phipps, who began her career with style-icon Mary Portas and has worked with clients and celebrities, including Christian Lacroix, Models 1, Davina McCall, Jerry Hall and Emilia Fox, and was also a fashion writer for many publications like GQ Magazine and Closer Magazine.
They perused all of Lyn’s favourite shops, including River Island where she picked up a stunning halter neck blouse and New Look for a beautiful dress covered with hearts – not something that she would normally go for but with Caroline’s gentle coaxing, picked it up, tried it on and loved it!
The highlight of the shopping spree and favourite find was a gorgeous on-trend pastel pink, ruched sleeve blazer and beautiful wide-leg, blue trousers with side stripes from M&S,
