For the sixth year running, Clinique have collaborated with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity Kiss It Better to help raise awareness for children with cancer.

Kiss It Better helps to raise money to fund research and treatment of childhood cancer. To help raise awareness, Clinique have created the new Limited Edition Kisses from Cinique set which features six lustrous shades of Superbalm Moisturising Gloss. Hydrating and moisturising, the antioxidant loaded lip colour delivers high shine sheer colour whilst making your lips kissably soft.

With 50% of proceeds going to the Kiss It Better appeal, the new Limited Edition Kisses from Clinique (£24.00) is available exclusively online at Clinique.co.uk and at House of Fraser stores nationwide during February.

Kiss It Better was born when Carmel Allen’s daughter, Joesphine was treated at hospital for Neuroblastoma. After hours spent at the hospital and struggling to reconcile her role as a beauty editor, Carmel desperately wanted to help and thus the Kiss It Better appeal was devised.

“The premise was really simple, KISS IT BETTER is something every parent says and does when their child is sick or injured. I wanted to turn Josephine’s experience into something positive and to help make a difference to the lives of children with cancer everywhere” – Carmel.

The Kiss It Better story book opened when Carmel approached MD of Estée Lauder Companies, Per Neuman with her idea for Kiss It Better and simply and surely he agreed. Carmel decided to create a lipstick and call it Kiss It Better as she often would say to her daughter Joesphine in hospital or as any mum would do when there little one gets a bump or graze. Carmel decided that this effortless act of giving would be the key in helping the cause as women would buy the lipstick as a treat for a friend or themselves whilst helping others at the same time. It is now an annual campaign which runs throughout February and have now taken on lots of brands to help make the campaign accessible for everyone. You can also Bake It Better in schools and offices to continue to support the campaign an idea which Carmel’s daughter initiated.
