A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post dedicated to my buyer's remorse and tossing guilt. I have a decent variety of hair products, face products, and makeup that I don't plan on using anymore, but are barely used. I researched online for a place to donate these items, but I couldn't find an organization online for that would take personal items such as lightly used eyeshadow.
On Friday I was fortunate enough to stumble up The Beauty Movement on Twitter - it was a match made in heaven! As their website explains...
"The Beauty Movement provides beauty and personal hygiene products as well as education and resources to women nationwide whose current situation does not allow them to afford these little luxuries."
Exactly what I was looking for!
There are a variety of things you can donate from your own beauty collection:
I was so excited when I read the full list because it included all of the items that I knew I needed to part with, but couldn't just throw out. The products go to Women's Organizations and groups and no two baskets are ever the same!
