I broke up with my holy grail lipstick (and switched it for THIS💄)

Ditching Mac's Ruby Woo red lipstick to try and find a more sustainable, ethical dupe.

The three lipsticks:

Being in the club means you get:
• A free weekly podcast
• Access to a secret DISCORD and Facebook group
• Exclusive poetry and playlists made by me
• Secret videos and digital downloads available to Gumption Club members only
• AND you get access to all of my YouTube videos before anyone else sees them!

(Quick tip for Apple device users: due to Patreon's arrangement with Apple being weird, it's actually more expensive to sign up to become a Gumption Club member via the Patreon app on an Apple device. If you are on an Apple device I would advise joining via a web browser (just visit   / thegumptionclub  , not the app. However, once you’ve signed up and paid elsewhere, you can still use the app on Apple devices to access Patreon as normal - easy peasy!)
