Lots of things hit my email inbox every week and occasionally there are things I'd like to share but they don't really justify their own post (and I hate using stock photos). So I thought I'd drop in a very occasional 'Bits and Pieces' post to cover the miscellany that I think is worth sharing!
First order of business is a little giveaway on my Facebook page. Up for grabs are all 5 of the new Rimmel 'Kate' matte lipsticks, which come out on October 4th. All you have to do is pop over there and 'like' the photo and I'll choose someone at random on Friday 28th September. FYI, my personal favourite is 107!
There are loads of charity beauty products about at the minute but two particularly caught my eye. Organic Surge have produced 'The Archie Foundation Hand Wash' scented with lavender and patchouli, which is priced at £3.99 with 100% of sales going to a charity for sick children in Scotland. There will also be lots of pink about soon as October is Breast Cancer awareness month and Origins will be releasing a pink duo of Make A Difference Rejuvenating Hand Treatment 15ml and Peace Of Mind On-The-Spot Relief 7ml (which is one product that never leaves my handbag - review here) on a handy carabiner. The set will retail for £10 with £2 going to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and is available throughout October, so be quick!
Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteThe origins set looks SO nice and I love the charity Organic Surge is doing - I really appreciate "beauty related" companies to do charity, because people start to pay more attention then. :)
107 btw is also my favourite. I also entered your giveaway and am excited for the 28th to come! :)
Lots of loooove from Germany. :)

Oh the wee Origins duo is adorable. Such a good cause too, would definitely spend my pennies on it! xo
ReplyDeleteNeed that little Origins duo - been wanting to try the On-The-Spot Relief since you first posted about it. Also(!) you have no idea how pleased I am that you used the word 'carabiner'; I currently have my keys on one and whenever I use the word people around me stare at me as though wondering what varietal of cheese I've crawled out of. Not sure what they refer to a caribiner as, but thank you for validating my life.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous, I love te second one xo

The Origins duo looks great. I think I will pick this up. I like it when companies make a product where a substantial amount of the profits go to the charity & I think Origins are doing that.
ReplyDeleteLove that origins duo! I just can't get enough of their products these days. xx

I can't wait to go and swatch the new Kate lipsticks when I next go shopping! Purely because they are matte and I love a matte lipstick :) xo
ReplyDeleteThe Origins duo on a carabiner is such a great idea for a handbag!
