Brands To Shop Who Support Good Causes

Companies Who Give Back: brands to shop who support good causes | always meliss

Hi friends! There’s been so much happening in the world, but if there’s one thing I know, it’s vital to support great businesses! This is a short list, compared to how many incredible philanthropic brands are out there. I’ll continue to add to the list as I hear about them! There’s nothing better than shopping for a cause. It’s a win win! You get something great out of giving back. I encourage each and every one of you to check out this list, and when you’re ready to shop, choose one of these over a brand who doesn’t (if you can!).

Thank you to everyone who helped me compile this list, by sending over brands! I’m truly appreciative and I know the companies and charities are, as well.

Subscribe to Always Meliss for the latest fashion tips, travel guides, exclusive discount codes and more! I’ve got you.

How long do you typically spend doing your makeup? How long do you typically spend doing your makeup? I’m an under 10 minutes gal, almost always - but there’s so many days where all I want is a quick and easy no makeup, makeup look that literally takes 2 minutes or less!

I picked up the @bareminerals complexion rescue tinted hydrating gel cream a few weeks ago and have been using it since! It’s the perfect product used alone (totally evens out my skin and gives my skin a stunning glow) or even mixed with your favorite foundation. Not to mention, the products I shared in this reel are all CLEAN!!

Here’s what I used:
👉🏼Complexion Rescue in shade 6
👉🏼Blonzer in Kiss of Pink
👉🏼Maximist Photo-Fiber Volumizing Mascara
👉🏼Smoothing Foundation Brush

All of these products are linked on my @shop.ltk and are available @sephora - Feel free to DM me for any links.
