Clinique and De Villeneuve collaborate

Prestigious global cosmetics company, Clinique, has collaborated with star illustrator, Daisy De Villeneuve to create a limited edition line of prints, in aid of children’s cancer charity, KISS IT BETTER, a Great Ormond Street hospital appeal.  Altruism with

an artsy edge.

Clinique, founded in 1968 as the first ever dermatologist-created brand, has supported the charity - set up by beauty editor, Carmel Allen, whose daughter was struck by neuroblastoma – for the past 3 years, but for 2011 has enlisted the vision and funky felt-tip type illustrations of De Villeneuve.

The limited edition run of 3 triptych prints, signed by the artist, retail at £100 with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity, and are available throughout the month of February. Whilst Clinique, has created a special NEW Limited Edition Smoothie Kisses Lip Gloss Set, featuring the latest lip launch from Clinique, Vitamin C Lip Smoothie Antioxidant Lip Colour. This tantalizing set of four glosses; Pink me up, Goodness Grapecious, Nude-tricious, and Mango-thon will be sold exclusively in UK House of Fraser stores during February with £4 going to Kiss It Better (£2 from Clinique and £2 from House of Fraser).

And British TV personalities are once again giving their backing; ‘I am thrilled to support this amazing campaign. Kiss it Better is helping Great Ormond Street Hospital to raise funds for research into the causes and treatment of childhood cancer – the biggest disease affecting children today.  As a mum, I can’t imagine a more worthwhile cause,” says Edith Bowman.

Clinique is now sold in more than 135 countries and territories, 17,000 locations and Clinique.co.uk.
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s charity needs to raise £50 million a year to help rebuild and refurbish Great Ormond Street Hospital, provide vital up-to-date equipment and fund research into better treatments for the children.
