Share Your Beauty Donation Drive in NYC/CT

We’re back! As many of you know, I run Share Your Beauty, a beauty donation program created to combat waste and promote sustainability in the beauty industry by donating excess new, unopened, beauty and hygiene products to various shelters in the NYC Tri-state area.

We’re partnering with Glowbar and NewBeauty magazine to collect your new beauty products to donate to refugee families in NYC through Human Rights First.

Now through June 14th, products can be shipped or dropped off at any Glowbar location in NYC + CT (locations are listed in the above invite).

Special thank you to LeSportsac for generously donating bags to hold all the beauty products being donated, so every recipient receives their products in a beautiful bag.

More on SHARE YOUR BEAUTY: Recognized as the first beauty donation program, co-founded by Lara Eurdolian of Pretty Connected and the poverty relief non-profit organization Family-to-Family. Together they organize drives and events to collect beauty and hygiene products and deliver them to shelters and teen centers in NYC, Westchester, and the tri-state area. Since their launch in February 2014, over 150,000 beauty products have been donated thanks to the generous support of individuals, brands, and members of the beauty industry.

It was such a pleasure talking about small business trends as we gear up for the holiday season and Pretty Connected Mask Chains and accessories with Pix11’s Jennifer Bisram. With everyone shopping online it’s important to be on top of your inventory, packaging, mailers, and make sure you have enough supplies and manpower to maximize your sales.

Keeping up with demand was a huge challenge when our mask chains went viral. And one thing that helped was creating a pre-order button if anything went out of stock and offering an accurate timeline so that customers could order in advance and then receive the parcel later. Simply saying ‘out of stock’ reduces the chances they will check back to purchase.

We’re still navigating the best way to perform on Etsy has been an incredible support for us. It offers a ton of control and an amazing community to be a part of. For any small business’ even if you run your own site, I highly recommend still joining!
