It seems a bit mean blogging about a lipstick that you can't buy, but it's a special one so I'm going to.
On Mother's Day this year, She is Sarah Jane
along with Shanghai Suzy released the beautiful Charlotte Rose
lipstick. It was a limited edition with only 5000 lipsticks made. All
proceeds went to Bears of Hope.
The
lipstick was made to honor Charlotte Rose, the daughter of Sarah Jane
who was born sleeping at 21 weeks. To help deal with her grief and to
raise funds for Bears of Hope, the Charlotte Rose lipstick was created.
The lipstick is also to honor all the babies who grew their wings too
soon.
Bears of Hope
are an organisation who provide pregnancy and infant loss support.
Their website contains a wealth of information on miscarriage, infant
loss and bereavement.
I sincerely hope that none of you ever need to use a resource like this. If you do, it can be a comfort to know that other people have had the same experience. When I had my first miscarriage it was the support of my girlfriends that got me through. They listened to me, shared their stories with me and helped me to deal with my grief.
I'm hoping that the Charlotte Rose lipstick will be re-released as it's a beautiful lipstick. It's exactly the same color as my lips so I wear it like a lip balm. I'm kicking myself for not having bought two of them!
Did you buy a Charlotte Rose lipstick?
