The Balm Cosmetics Company Gives Back

One of our favorite MakeUp Artists, Lauren Luke, best known by her YouTube handle, Panacea81, loves her cute little pugs and has brought awareness to this breed by including them in many of her makeup tutorial videos.


But Lauren is not the only makeup lover who adores little Pugs. The Balm cosmetics company has a campaign called "the Balm to the Rescue."

Their lip balm treatment is formulated with all vegan ingredients - absolutely no animal byproducts. We think it's a good find because it includes "micro-exfoliating crystals" that help de-funk your lips to keep them looking healthy, smooth and natural and to prep your lips for flawless lipstick application.


The balm comes in an oversize 0.25 oz (7.08 grams)container, and the company is donating a generous 100% of the proceeds from its sale (retail price $16 USD) to Pug Rescue in Sacramento. 

This organization helps restore a life of happiness and goodness to pugs who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned, and they prevent the animals from being euthanized. 


At press time, the Balm was sold out of this product, but keep an eye out for it, and in the meantime, visit www.PugPros.org to learn more about how you can help. And, in the words of the Balm: "Kindness is not breed specific. For other rescue groups or shelters, please search online in your area."
