Support The Body Shop’s Petition to Stop Sex Trafficking!

.

The Body Shop is taking an active role in trying to change US laws that allow children to be arrested and prosecuted when they are victims of sex trafficking. Instead of arresting these young children they should be offered support and protection as they are in New York and Washington states.

A “safe harbor”� law can:

  • Protect and prevent any person under the age of 18 from being charged, prosecuted or incarcerated for prostitution.
  • Refer exploited children to special services and shelters that will support their recovery.
  • Require the training of law enforcement, judges and first responders

The Body Shop has launched a campaign to raise awareness of to stop sex trafficking of both children and young adults and to garner support for the fight against the trafficking of nearly 1.2 million children and young people each year.

Working alongside their global campaign partner ECPAT, they have launched a petition calling upon governments to give children greater protection against trafficking. The Body Shop are going to present this petition to the US Government, and then combined with other nations� signatures this will create a global petition to present to the United Nations.

The Body Shop has created a special page on their site where you can sign the digital petition as well as a widget that you can share on your blog to encourage as many people as possible to join the fight!

Please visit petition.thebodyshop-usa.com to sigh the e-petition and show your support.

Make Up For Ever Rouge Artist Intense Review and Swatches

Let me tell you the Candyman can take a sunrise, spirkle that shiz with dew, cover it in chocolate, and a miracle or two but he ain’t got nuttin’ on Make Up For Ever.

Make Up For Ever can completely re-launch their lipstick range with Rouge Intense and make them available in 50 brand new shades plus slap an easy color wheel Lipstick Shade Finder together so you can find your perfect lipstick shade.

Can the Candyman do that?

I think not!

Lush Cosmetics Vanillary Fragrance Review: Reader Request

If you asked me what my ideal perfume scent would be, I’d probably answer and say something like gummi bears!

Yeah, I’m hardcore when it comes to sweet scents. I really love fruity, sweet candy-like blends but…….I do tend to migrate to unusual ones as well like spicy florals or interesting fruity florals. I’m a Jill of all Trades when it comes to fragrance however I definitely feel most comfortable with something sweet.

A reader wrote to me recently and said, “Muse, I know you’re keen on sweet stuff but have you tried Lush Vanillary?”

Why, yes, I have.

Vanilla is outside my norm to be honest and it’s not something I seek out in my fragrances however with Lush’s name stamped all over it, it’s instantly something I purchased as soon as it released last year.

There’s one thing you should always remember about Lush, THEY KNOW how to create good fragrance.
