Glossier launches limited-edition spot stickers with Starface

Glossier has partnered with Starface to launch a limited-edition set of spot stickers, housed in a pink compact case with an accompanying mirror.

While Starface has already worked with the likes of Hello Kitty, SpongeBob and Seasame Street, this new partnership marks its first-ever collaboration with a fellow beauty and skincare brand.

As part of this, the Gen Z beauty company has revived Glossier’s original sticker sheets to create "the most coveted pimple patches of the season".

The playful designs are inspired by Glossier's early motifs, including a three-eyed smiley face, cherries, side-eye emojis and more. Customers can also get their hands on Glossier's millennial pink-inspired Hydro-Stars.

Priced at £15, the Glossier x Starface Compact is available at Glossier and Starface.

The Body Shop revives iconic t-shirts in its fight against animal testing

Animal testing for cosmetics products had been banned in the UK since 1998. However, it was revealed that the UK Government "secretly" abandoned this ban in 2019 as it re-aligned the policy with less stringent EU rules.

To raise awareness of these changes and once again call for a full ban, The Body Shop and Cruelty Free International have launched a limited-edition version of their iconic heritage ‘Forever Against Animal Testing’ t-shirt.

For each sale of the new limited-edition t-shirt, 100% of the profits will go to Cruelty Free International to support its work to bring an end to animal testing.

Priced at £20, the ‘Forever Against Animal Testing’ t-shirt is available at The Body Shop.

Stories launches refillable layering candles

Luxury and sustainable fragrance brand Stories has released two customisable, refillable, limited edition scented candle trios, inspired by the individual top, heart and base notes of its No.01 No.02 Eau de Parfums. Each candle within each trio can either be burned separately to fragrance a room with either the top, heart or base notes, or in pairs for an indulgent olfactory experience.

Hand poured in the UK, the small batch, refillable candles are sustainably made using organic ingredients where possible, with a wax blend of responsibility sourced soy, coconut and rapeseed oils.

Vegan and cruelty-free with 100% cotton candlewicks, the candles are housed in recyclable and FSC certified packaging, with outerboxes that can be repurposed, while the glass vessels can be refilled. Approximately 98% of any waste from production is recycled.

Each trio contains 3 x 70g candles with a total burn time of 135, priced at £95 or the trio can be purchased with three refills, priced at £125.
