'No makeup selfie trend raises £1m in 24hrs
 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/wom...-24-hours.html

Amazing that it's raised that much but shocking a 'trend' is the reason for it tbh.

Marsh. 20-03-2014 12:21 PM

You're not fooling anyone Kym Marsh, get that lippy off.

Kizzy 20-03-2014 12:25 PM

very worthwhile, but I agree marsh you have some MAC on kim don't lie!

Marsh. 20-03-2014 12:33 PM

Yeah, what's that tattooed eyeliner Mrs Lomas?

Shaun 20-03-2014 12:42 PM

I'm more bored with the people on Facebook complaining about the trend. It's just a homepage... it's quite easy to scroll past, or move on from. Fair play if it's already raised so much.

Loukas 20-03-2014 12:44 PM

i've seen so many girls on my instagram feed that are following this trend, i'm all for it if it's raising money!

Crimson Dynamo 20-03-2014 12:45 PM

The thought of all these girls spending longer to get the no make up selfie looking good than they do to apply all their slap...

Glenn. 20-03-2014 01:25 PM

I've just been nominated to put makeup on :umm2:

Good cause, literally everybody has done it on my feed

Ninastar 21-03-2014 05:11 PM

2m now apparently

amazing :love:

Kizzy 25-03-2014 09:14 PM

Oops!
'Thousands of pounds donated as part of the "#nomakeupselfie" craze were sent to Unicef instead of Cancer Research UK by mistake, the BBC has learned.

More than £8m has been raised after the craze of taking a self-portrait with no make-up spread virally.

But those texting "DONATE" rather than "BEAT" found their money sent to the wrong charity.'

people are trying to find any kind of issue with this and its so pathetic

Genuinely can't handle this. A guy I know posted one and tagged someone on my friends, so it came up on my wall. I've known him all my life.. he's older than me, and I can't handle seeing that.. how the f.uck am I supposed to say hello to him in the street now without that mental picture coming up.. 0_o

Well it is if you want to donate to a specific charity obviously...

Well placing such a huge amount of money into the wrong place is kind of an issue.

Vicky. 25-03-2014 11:34 PM

Cock in a sock is hilarious but scary at the same time. Luckily I have only seen one of those so far, but I'm dreading new ones coming up from people I actually associate with :laugh:

a charity is a charity... either way someone in need is better off than they were before

besides, not everyone i know has been raising money for cancer research... I've seen people donate to all kinds of charities. i don't think that just because everything hasnt gone to cancer research it means that it's mistake.

That's not entirely the point, if I choose to support a specific charity then I would expect my donation to benefit said charity.
It was an error, some people may not mind and some would.

Well then maybe you should double check where the donation is going, it's an error on the part of the person if they text "donate" instead of "beat" and send it to the wrong charity

Well I think the 70099 text number is just one that a lot charities use, they all have a different keyword which when you send the message will direct the donation to that charity

Cancer research's one is 'beat' so if you text that to the number you donate £3 to them, but Unicef's keyword is 'donate' so if you text that you'll end up donating to them instead

Apparently some people have also accidentally donated to the World Wildlife Fund by misspelling it and texting "bear" instead

Vanessa 26-03-2014 10:35 AM

I posted mine as well. I never wear make up anyway. :hugesmile:

Cherie 26-03-2014 10:36 AM

it's all very well posting these no make up selfies, but are people then going on to donate?
