White Ribbon Day 2011 manicure

November 25th is declared as International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the White Ribbon has become the symbol of it. All violence is unacceptable and the White Ribbon campaign aims to prevent the most common form of male violence which is against women. Through it's yearly campaign and prevention initiatives, it hopes to change the attitudes and behaviours of men towards women and prevent violence. Far too many women are affected by violence - statistics show that 1 in 3 women in Australia over the age of 15 have reported experiencing physical or sexual violence at some time in their lives. With the patient group I work with, I witness the result of violence 1 time too many. It needs to end.

I have for you today my White Ribbon Day manicure in support of the White Ribbon campaign.


I used 2 coats of Face of Australia Titanium* on all fingers as a base and then used Kiss nail art striper in white to freehand the ribbon.



Show your support today by wearing a White Ribbon, buying White Ribbon merchandise or making a donation. For the men in your lives, they can show their support by swearing the White Ribbon Oath. The campaign is now the largest global male-led movement to stop men's violence against women. White Ribbon encourages Aussie men and boys to take the oath and to help make a positive change. It's a symbol of commitment to change and challenge attitudes that contribute to violence against women.

Stop violence against women.

Clinique Great lips, Great cause Mini Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 swatches and review

Hi ladies! Continuing with the Breast Cancer Awareness month products, I have for you today some quick swatches of the limited edition Clinique Great lips, Great cause Mini Long Last Glosswear SPF 15. I am such a sucker for pretty key rings so how could I resist purchasing it?? Plus it's for a great cause =)


What they say:

"Treat your lips to glistening, juiced-up colour and help a great cause too! $5.00 from your purchase helps support The National Breast Cancer Foundation. Our limited-edition Long Last Glosswear SPF15 trio of minis in Air Kiss, Clearly Pink and Cabana Crush 1ml on a keychain come with a Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Key ring."



The key ring features a pink heart shaped ribbon charm that is a mirror on the reverse side, a Clinique "C" charm and three mini-Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 glosses. It's a VERY sturdy key ring and I nearly broke a few fingernails trying to get my keys on it!


The three mini Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 are Clearly Pink, Air Kiss and Cabana Crush. These colours are permanent colours in the Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 range and are very flattering shades.

From top - bottom: Clinique Clearly Pink, Air Kiss and Cabana Crush.


Cabana Crush is a medium pink with gorgeous gold shimmer through it; Air Kiss is a pretty peachy pink with subtle shimmer and an old favourite of mine - it was one of my very first Clinique glosses I owned many years ago! - and Clearly Pink is a clear light pink gloss.

From L - R: Clinique Cabana Crush, Air Kiss and Clearly Pink.



Overall: I love this cute key ring! I never have to worry about being without lip products when I'm out and about again which is great! The Long Last Glosswears are somewhat sticky in texture but are SUPER glossy which is what I like about them. They wear for a considerable time on me also. The colours they've included in this trio are very flattering and girlie too!

Details: Clinique will donate $5 per product from the sale of each Clinique Great lips, Great cause Mini Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. It is available exclusively online from www.clinique.com.au for a limited time for $35.

Unfortunately I believe it's no longer available (oh the downfall of LE products doh!) but you can win your very own in my Pink for October giveaway here along with other pink products! For more Breast Cancer Awareness products for 2011 check out my post here.

Have you tried the Clinique Long Last Glosswears? What do you think?

Thanks for looking as always ladies!
