Let's set the scene. You are headed out for a blowout night with friends. You've been restlessly waiting for this evening to come. You slip on that outfit that makes you feel esteemed and famed. Those heels that give you calves of steel. You're about to head out the door, but before you do, you apply your favourite gloss to make those lips lively. You open the door, head outside, and get punched by a gust of wind. Your hair is now cemented to your lips thanks to your once favourite lipgloss. After spitting out the hair you've chewed on, you realize it may be time to find yourself a new cherished gloss.
Thank Goodness for Bloomiss!
This journey Clara and I are taking into the @redbrunette abyss, has offered us the pleasure of meeting some truly inspiring lady bosses! Bloomiss Naturals is owned and operated by a fabulous woman named Crystal Leochko. She is of the belief that you shouldn't put anything onto your skin that you wouldn't put into your body. When you put it that way, it almost seems ludicrous not to use all natural. Let's face it, toxins are foul. If you have to ask yourself if your make-up could make you sick, chances are, it probably can.
Crystal has been hand crafting and creating this exclusive skin care and make-up line not only for her own personal reasons, but for her desire to help women feel self assured.
She has struggled with infertility, and during this struggle, she was medically advised to slow down and relax. The creation of this line allowed her to do exactly that. All while establishing something inspiring that can be used without caution or worry.
The lipglosses, though, have a charming story of their own. In Crystal's efforts and conflict with fertility, she has had the honour of speaking to families that have found themselves in the same situation. The numbers don't lie - 1 in 6 couples struggle with infertility. There are those that can afford the process, and those that lose everything in the process. The goal is always the same, the road to achievement winds differently for all. Crystal created these glosses in an effort to raise $10,000 for the Blooming Hopes Fertility Program that she has also conceived. The Little Bundle of Gloss gives $5 from each purchase to the Fertility Charity that goes to help families in their fertility endeavours.
Obviously, we couldn't write about a product that we haven't used, so Clara and I conducted a "lip gloss" field study. Hey, you have to commit to any project you take on. We tried all of the delectable colours. We talked, we laughed, we ate and drank. There was no disgusting goop on our utensils, cups, or teeth. This gloss is not your typical syrupy shine.
There's a certain sense of accord and reconciliation that comes with knowing that your purchase is supporting others. The taboo issue of infertility is still obscure. The stigma behind the guilt that women feel about not being able to preform this "natural" duty is real. Let's open up a dialogue and erase the shame. Let's varnish our lips, buy a little bundle of gloss, and help a family create a little bundle.
