Beauty Banks' The Heist is LIVE – with amazing beauty prizes to bid for (or to win)
Well, this is quite something. The powerhouse that is Sali Hughes, beauty journalist and author, along with Jo Jones, who together set up the brilliant Beauty Banks charity, have launched THE most brilliant online auction and raffle, raising funds for their mission to tackle hygiene poverty, ensuring that nobody has to go without items that so many of us take for granted: soap, toothpaste, shampoo, period products and more. (As Sali points out, sadly, the demand for their services has never been greater.)
There are some TRULY spectacular lots to bid on, and some absolutely fabulous (and we’re not just saying that) prizes to be won, when you buy the £5 raffle tickets. (A fiver! Nothing’s a fiver, these days!)
Lots you could bid on – which span everything from concert tickets to amazing money-can’t-buy (except it can!) beauty experiences, we honestly urge you to have a scroll, place a bid, or at least drop a fiver or more on a raffle ticket. Peruse the auction items here, which include…
• Two First Tier Tickets for Harry Styles at Wembley (and if that isn’t a beautiful thing, we’d like to know what is!)
• A Chanel Beauty Experience for two (worth £1,000)
• Larry King Haircut and Blow-dry
• A letter to your loved one written by Caitlin Moran
• A consultation with Sali Hughes herself, and a bespoke goodie bag (ditto with Caroline Hirons)
• The chance to find your next fragrance with Jo’s scent writing colleagues, experts Suzy Nightingale and Alice du Parcq
And honestly, so the list goes on…
In the raffle, there are two sections: BEAUTY and LIFESTYLE (click on either highlighted name, for more.) If you’re anything like us, you’ll want tickets for both, as they each also contain the fabbest of donated prizes. On the beauty front, there are prizes from Clé de Peau, Drunk Elephant, Jo Malone London, ELEMIS, Trish McEvoy, Clarins and othes; in the LIFESTYLE raffle, you could win an overnight stay at The Pig, an Anya Hindmarch tote bag, a £150 voucher for Hawksmoor, £500 to splurge at ME+EM – are you getting the idea…?
You can hear Sali on the raffle, here – or click here to go straight to the Beauty Banks Heist site, which is hosted on the giving platform Givergy.
Tell your friends! Because quite a few of these prizes are for sharing. Everyone should have the dignity of access to products to keep them clean and healthy – and this is such a great way to do your bit to help.
