The Be Your Beautiful weekend on Saturday 31st of July and Sunday 1st of August is part of a wider campaign shining a spotlight on beauty, cosmetics, and health & wellbeing, and is an inclusive event with two days of giveaways and empowerment opportunities, incorporating values of beauty, kindness, wellbeing and being true to yourself.
The must-visit event includes a giant foot-powered digital scratch card machine that shoppers can play to be in with a chance of winning one of hundreds of prizes, and an ‘Empowerment Mirror’ featuring designs and slogans from Instagram’s @label.lady.1 aka Jemma Solomon.
White Rose will also have a drop box for unused beauty products and toiletries, which will be donated to the Leeds South and East Foodbank, and will be hosting Leeds’ favourites Back Chat Brass band throughout the day on 1st August.
Steven Foster, Centre Director at White Rose Shopping Centre, said: “We’ve had a lot of fun putting together our Shades of Yorkshire palette. We’ve paid tribute to some local icons, while also laughing at some regional stereotypes with shades like Whippet Grey and Mardy. We think it’s going to go down a treat.
“We are delighted to be able to welcome the people of Leeds to our Be Your Beautiful event. We believe it’s so important for everyone to feel beautiful in their own skin, confident and true to themselves.
“Be Your Beautiful has something for everyone whether that’s feeling great whilst taking a snap in our Empowerment mirror, winning an exclusive prize or grabbing a must-have beauty product at one of our retailers, so be sure to sign up for the latest updates and don’t miss out.”
