Give and Makeup

For the past nine years, the Domestic Goblin has periodically donated unwanted toiletries and cosmetics to a UK initiative that helps women who have escaped domestic abuse and arrived at refuge shelters with next to nothing and needed to start their life again.

If you have products languishing in cupboards, consider sending them to:

Give and Makeup

PO BOX 855

If it's good enough to give to your friend, they will accept it.

Frivolous June

In June 2020, the Domestic Goblin decided to treat herself to two products recommended by Nigella Lawson:

~ Ful Vic Face Cream by Victoria Health
A multi-functional face cream that will:

• Assist in every stage of cell rejuvenation 
• Remove toxins 
• Brighten, firm, tone and improve the appearance of enlarged pores 
• Hydrate and moisturise for a plumper more youthful complexion
• Provide triple antioxidant protection from Fulvic acid, ALA and CoQ10 
  

Suitable for all skin types including sensitive, acne and rosacea-prone skin and is vegan-friendly.

Verdict: Works better in the morning along with another moisturiser or sunscreen. 

~ Intensive Hand Treatment by Ameliorate
An all in one hand cream to exfoliate, renew, soften, moisturise and protect delicate hands.
Main ingredients include:

• Lactic Acid for exfoliating and moisturising as well as lowering the skin's pH
• LaH6 Skin Hydration complex for providing up to 12-hours of moisture
• Barley extract for skin soothing and softening

Designed for those with very dry hands; dehydrated, rough, chapped skin; and hard cuticles.

Verdict: Works well with dry hands as well as feet and legs!

~ Earlier on in the month, Domestic Goblin also made a small donation to 'Meals for the NHS' (an initiative providing frontline NHS workers, who are often working long gruelling shifts, with free meals from local restaurants) and also to 'Wintercomfort' (a Cambridge-based day centre providing a range of support to those who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes).
