Anne Lebourg, Bourjois brand director, said in a statement: Bourjois is overjoyed to be returning to the UK. Since the range was discontinued in the UK in 2019, our deep-rooted heritage of effortless Parisian beauty has continued in France – and indeed worldwide.

The Hair & Beauty Charity has launched a new Charity Supporter campaign for those in hair and beauty to provide a minimum £20 monthly donation, doing their bit to give back to the industry and those who have fallen on the hardest times.
Since 2019 the Charity has seen a huge increase in applications from our industry. A significant rise in domestic violence and the cost of living crisis means that more people need the help of the charity than ever before.
President Jayne Lewis-Orr says, “In 2019 the main reason that people applied for help was because they were unable to work due to illness. In 2022 this is still a major factor but we are also seeing an influx of people struggling with everyday living costs and the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Before 2019 our applicants tended to be older, but we have seen a huge increase from those in the 31-40 year old age bracket who need our help, and the rise in mental health related illness is staggering. As well as asking salons and industry professionals to sign up to our monthly Supporter Campaign, we are also asking the larger companies who operate in the hair & beauty industry, to give back by providing a regular donation.
The monthly amount raised will go towards providing school uniforms for children in financially struggling families; cots, beds and bedding, carpets, fridges, freezers and washing machines for many more families – everyday basics that change lives.
Pledging has never been easier, simply visit hairandbeautycharity.org/supporter to sign up in three easy clicks. Mobile users can now use Apple Pay or Google Pay. There’s an also an option to pledge more if you wish and Supporters will each receive a Welcome Pack. All donations to the charity are hugely welcome and a donation of any amount can be set up via the JustGiving page.
