Weekend Steal: Lottie London Pride Shimmer Lip Glaze
June is Pride Month, and beauty brands are busting out all over with colourful launches to inspire make-up creativity – and we just love, love seeing it all. How times have changed for the better since we were growing up, in terms of LBGT+ acceptance. It is just so, so important to be comfortable in your own skin, we always say.
However, after a certain age… would we wear some of the rainbow-hued creations that are coming out right now? Well, we can admire from afar, but yellow or turquoise eyeshadow, deep purple lipsticks or diamanté face gems are simply out of our comfort zone.
So… we point you towards one lovely, affordable creation that we think will work for anyone, at any age: a not-at-all-sticky, glimmering lip shine, perfect for summer-ising a more matte shade/texture or wearing on its own, which feels like instant nourishment thanks to rosehip oil, squalene and vitamin E. Two shades: one peachy, one more pink – but both very sheer.
Lottie London Pride Shimmer Lip Glaze is PETA-approved vegan and cruelty-free, and to mark Pride Month, This accessibly-priced brand is partnering for the third year running with the Kaleidoscope Trust, which works to uphold the human rights of LGBT+ people, across The Commonwealth. (The strides made here in the UK are not necessarily mirrored elsewhere around the globe, alas.) Buy this – or hey, go for the face jewels! – and 10% of the price will go to the charity.
Nice, eh?
