Morning raving with Clinique #ImIn

Yesterday I was up bright and early for a surprise challenge with Clinique! I had no idea what was in store for me other than it was a fitness event. Chloe and I were filmed on route to the destination at 5:30am when it was still pitch black and given a bunch of clues along with an envelope revealing we'd be "hitting the dance floor before breakfast". We looked at each other in disbelief whilst laughing, who on earth goes dancing at this time in the morning!? We applied Clinique's Pep Start eye cream to wake us up and get us ready for what was in store. Once filming bits and bobs was completed we arrived to the Day Breaker event at 7am, getting in line with a bunch of strangers all dressed in fitness gear, looking very excited for what was about to happen.


Day Breaker!

500 Londoners gathered in a warehouse down Shoreditch, dancing to deep-house before breakfast! I've heard of this online, something I was very intrigued about, but never really thought I'd actually get to experience it for myself! To be honest I only really dance in the evenings, maybe after a few drinks... And this was going to be me dancing sober. I was slightly worried I would be too self conscious to get into it, but the atmosphere was just electric! Everyone was dancing like no one was watching and before I knew it I was too.

So much happened, it really wasn't just your normal sort of thing you'd expect on a night out. There were dance offs, cheer leaders, an aerial fire breathing dancer performing on a disco ball suspended from the ceiling whilst the Symphonica Orchestra & DMC Champion Mr Switch played on staged. Just before 9am the ceiling blinds were pulled back to reveal blue skies, we all looked up dancing with our hands in the air. Smiles all around, it was quite surreal experiencing all this at this time in the morning. Towards the end we all got involved in a massive group hug where we all then started jumping to the music. The night ended with us sat on the floor listening to a live acoustic performer, brining the mood to a more chilled and relaxed vibe.

Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream helped us through this crazily early start, it's cream-gel formula leaves your skin feeling instantly cool and hydrated feeling and freshers tired looking eyes. The applicator de-puffs the skin and promotes microcircultaton for a brighter eye look. Application is so quick and easy with no mirror required, just pop open, squeeze out a pea size amount, pop it closed and sweep under the eyes and on the lids leaving skin smoothed and ready for makeup. Their blend of 7 peptides help maintain collagen that can be threatened by stress, tiredness, lack of sleep which are tell tail signs of a busy life.

A massive thank you to Clinique for inviting me to get out of my comfort zone and experience something I'd never of imagined doing before! When you're ready for anything great things really do happen!
