Give and Make-Up ....................

The scale of domestic violence in the UK is staggering: one woman in four will experience it at some point in her lifetime and two women are killed by a current or ex-partner every week.

When these terrified women are fleeing for their lives the last thing they think to pack is their make up bag!

 

Give and Make Up is a philanthropic initiative based solely around the hard work of their volunteers and supporters. They have liased with Refuge, Women's Aid and businesses to provide some daily essentials for these Ladies and their children.

 

We in the beauty community on You Tube and blog land have all manner of lotions and potions many unopened and will remain so for a while. Please have a look at what you have that could make another woman's day a little more bearable.

 

You can find a local refuge, contact them directly or with the help of BeautyBay.com make up a parcel and send it. BeautyBay are offering to pay for the postage and give you a 10% discount code once they receive your parcel.
