Dont just comment saying “justice for those children” DO SOMETHING. ACTION. SPEAKS. LOUDER.
This absolutely breaks my heart. I just checked all my makeup products. First product, MICA. rare beauty, charlotte tilbury, etc.
Some use the claim of diamond powder. Any reflective makeup. It is an illusion. Some bottles are extremely expensive. Small bottle of cream 1,600.00. Many shops where billionaires and millionaires live do not know this. Where I live… there are 3/4 shops aggressivly sell this.
Make sure your food is also not come from some death attached to it . Eat veggies. And say not to sea food /non veg.
