Covergirl is Kind
There’s more good news for those who care about their looks and about our furry friends. Huge and historic American beauty brand CoverGirl Cosmetics has become the largest make-up brand to earn the “Leaping Bunny” certification from Cruelty Free International (CFI).
Coty, which owns the 60-year-old Covergirl brand, has announced a partnership with CFI, which campaigns to end animal testing, to audit both supply chain and ingredients, leading to the Leaping Bunny certification which ensures that neither products nor ingredients used by Coty have relied on animal testing.
Bring on the Sparkles
Guerlain has gone all-out glitter for the festive season with a shimmering collection for eyes, lips and faces. And there’s also something a little bit extra special in the shape of the 190th anniversary of the iconic Bee Bottle. Produced In a transparent version for the occasion, it is adorned with an imposing silk thread tassel. Delicately positioned on an amethyst medallion, the majestic bee – embroidered in pearls and Swarovski diamanté by the Atelier Bizet – spreads its golden wings as if it were about to take flight. Within is a reimagined but timeless fragrance that combines contemporary top notes of orange, orange blossom and almond with a more traditional Guerlinade in the base notes, featuring benzoin tincture, sandalwood and ylang-ylang. The 250ml comes with a limited edition, numbered travel size bottle. Available at leading retailers.
