A Makeup & Beauty Blog – Lipglossiping

I’m not a big fan of nail wraps but wanted to give a shout out to these rather cute dotty ones from Nail Rock which are currently available to buy in Boots priced at £6.65

If I don’t like them, why the mention?  Well… a very decent 25% (£1.66) from each purchase will go directly to BBC’s Children in Need and help disadvantaged kids across the UK.  Now as charitable as I aspire to be, I’m not one for bathing in tins of beans or sponsored beard shaves (what?) – this is far more my cuppa tea.

Having said that, if you prefer to donate directly — you can find out all you need to know about donating right here.

My final Pink post is dedicated to Nicoletta’s Big Charity Event in support of Breast Cancer Campaign.

Nicoletta is holding an immense charity raffle dedicated to the memory of her Mum Elissa and everyone who donates directly to Breast Cancer Campaign via a specially set up JustGiving page stands a chance at winning some truly magnificent prizes, generously donated by some truly awesome brands.

But that’s enough of me flapping my gums about it, head over to Nicoletta’s blog to find out more about the event and her inspirations behind the charity raffle.
