Donate Beauty Products & Clothing This Holiday Season

Hi Dolls! Recently I received a newsletter from IFabbo filled with great announcements for the month of november.

One that stood out to me the most was about donating beauty products & clothing to those whom are less fortunate. I thought this was an awesome announcement & decided to share with you beauties!

This season is for giving, so why not help put a smile on someone’s face? In the newsletter they also include some of the things that one should take into consideration when donating beauty and/or clothing items, so I also decided to share their list with you:

• Do not donate used beauty products that have come in direct contact with the body and then placed back in the tube (i.e., mascara, lipgloss).
• Partial products are acceptable (i.e., that shampoo/conditioner you tried that wasn’t right for your hair)
• Nail polish is safe to donate
• Sanitize press powders and shadows with alcohol prior to donating.
• Do not donate any products that might have expired, smell or look bad.
• Try to think of what you would want if you were suddenly without any of your belongings, and consider donating that item first.

IFabbo has also compiled a list of organizations that you would be able to make donations to, if for some case you can’t donate to these organizations you can also make a donation to your local women’s shelter. Here are the list of organizations:
