liptember!

I’m not a big fan of lipstick, but when it comes to lip balms I can’t get enough {just ask Mr who is convinced I’m addicted to them} so… when I read about Liptember the other day on Twitter I was intrigued. What is Liptember you ask? Well… it’s a month long campaign run in September every year to raise awareness and funds for gender-specific mental health issues for women.

I decided it would be fun to take part and at the same time support a great cause… so I’ve ordered my special Liptember sponsored lip balm, the wonderful Burt’s Bee’s Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus {available from Myer} and as soon as it arrives I’ll be wearing it every day throughout the rest of September.

If you too would like to have some lip-smacking fun this month, you can join in by getting your own lip balm and register online at liptember.com.au with your own sponsorship page or you can sponsor me! Yay!

All funds raised during the campaign will be donated to the Centre for Women’s Mental Health and Lifeline Australia and all donations are tax deductable.

Women participating in Liptember must wear the lipstick throughout September at work and when out and about.

The rules are simple listen here,
A month is all it takes my dear.
All you girls out and about,
Always display your Liptember pout.
Whether it be work or play,
The lipstick must always stay.
When the weekend comes around,
Show it off out on town.
But don’t forget rule number one,
Liptember is all for having fun.

I’ll be posting pouty pics every day on instagram, so you can follow along  http://followgram.me/alittlereddress or check back here from time to time. Until I get my “official” lippy I’ll be wearing Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm…
