Marathons just got a whole lot more glam! One of our favourite beauty brands, Benefit, has teamed up with Refuge, the national domestic violence charity for women and children. Together they are holding a massive charity run, from 15 to 29 June. The ‘Mascarathon’ will start in Scotland, stopping off at Newcastle, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Oxford and finally finishing in London. Caroline Flack is fronting the campaign, in the hope of raising tons of money and awareness for such an amazing cause. She will be running two miles to mark the two women a week who lose their lives to domestic violence.

Throughout the run, there will be make-up stations and sample giveaways, so what better excuse to get involved? For more info, to donate, or to sign up to be a runner, visit www.mascarathon.co.uk. VJ
