Blood for Beauty is the name of a new campaign from Lottie London that will help to get makeup in the hands of beauty lovers, all the while addressing the UK's nationwide blood bank shortage. The initiative offers fans of the Vampire Diaries to get their hands on the Lottie X Vampire Diaries ‘Love Sucks’ makeup collection when they visit their local blood drive to donate.
With the Blood for Beauty campaign, Lottie London is targeting some of the things that Gen Z loves most: nostalgia, social justice and makeup as a tool for self-expression. Notably, the brand shared in a press release, that 85% of 18 to 24-year-olds do not currently donate blood. By encouraging shoppers to donate blood during the month of October, this effort has the potential to raise these numbers among a key demographic.
