Yesterday, from a small internet cafe in Tunisia where I’m currently away on holiday, I heard the news (via email and Twitter) that MAC is to donate all global profits from their upcoming collaborative collection with Rodarte to “ a newly created initiative to raise awareness and provide on-the-ground support to the women and girls in Juarez”.

Petition to MAC and Rodarte: Let’s Make a Longterm Commitment to the Women of Juarez
July 22nd, 2010 · 13 Comments · MAC, Makeup, Me
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/macrodarte/ As I stated in my previous post, I personally do not feel that the responses from MAC and Rodarte on the issue of their upcoming beauty range ‘inspired’ by the area of Ciudad Juarez are adequate. I appreciate their apologies and MAC’s pledge to make a donation, but feel that $100,000 is not enough [...]

MAC and Rodarte Collection and the Women of Ciudad Juarez
July 18th, 2010 · 24 Comments · MAC, Makeup, Me, Uncategorized
A wave of controversy has washed through the beauty blogosphere this weekend. I was alerted to it via the weird and wonderful world of twitter, which is fast becoming my first port of call for news, both gossip, beauty and fashion related, and increasingly, political. The recent upset chatter is in reaction to the Fall [...]

RMS Beauty: Mineral Makeup with a Beautiful Finish
July 14th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Face, Makeup
My foray into the world of natural beauty products hasn’t yet extended to natural makeup products. Until now. Having never come across a natural or organic makeup range on the high street, I was doubting that they even existed, and I certainly didn’t think they’d be as glamorous and beautifully packaged as the other various [...]

Destination Skin Smooth Shapes – Cellulite Busting Sucking Machine
July 4th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Body, Cellulite, Wahanda
I’ve never bought a cellulite product in my life (except for a body brush, if that counts??) and I am incredibly cynical of all those ‘wonder formulas and treatments’ that promise to banish your lumps and dimples and give you the legs and bum of a Victoria’s Secret model. However…against my better judgment, I recently [...]
