- Earlier this month, LUSH UK announced that the brand would bid farewell to some of its social channels and instead open up the conversation with its consumers elsewhere. In an Instagram post, the brand said that “increasingly, social media is making it harder and harder for us to talk to each other directly. We are tired of fighting with algorithms, and we do not want to pay to appear in your newsfeed. So we’ve decided it’s time to bid farewell to some of our social channels and open up the conversation between you and us instead.” The post ended by saying that the LUSH UK team will be available via phone, email or live chat on the website.
- After numerous successful partnerships with big beauty brands including Estée Lauder and Proactiv, Kendall Jenner has moved into the business of oral hygiene. Moon, a dental care brand offering everything you need for your teeth and mouth (in very chic packaging) have teamed up with Kendall to co-create an on-the-go teeth-whitening pen. The pen is designed to elevate your beauty routine with a travel friendly product that brightens your smile. To find out more about Moon, click here.
