The #NoMakeUpSelfie Phenomenon!

Dear Diary!
Wow I feel as if I have neglected my posts for a while having been so busy with Uni deadlines and work commitments, so for that I am sorry! Hopefully now, with a few deadlines lurking in the near distance, I can get back to grips with keeping Dear Charlotte's diary up-to-date again!

I've decided to base this week's post on a really recent but HUGE phenomenon that has seemed to take over  social networking sites (as I'm sure you are aware!!), the 'No Make-Up Selfie'! This is in aid of Cancer Research UK- a great charity which is close to my heart- which asks girls to post a bare-faced selfie and text to donate a small sum of £3. Here are some examples including my own selfie (which I bravely placed next to the gorgeous Millie Mackintosh who would look stunning with mud slapped across her face! Brave move huh?!!)

Many people (including myself) were a bit sceptical at first- wondering what difference it actually makes and firstly, feeling dubious about posting a selfie with no slap on in the first place! Us girls are all partial to a selfie every now and again but taking make-up out of the equation can seem quite daunting!!

However, recent artcles by both The Telegraph, The Daily Mail and many more, have shown that this new craze has had massive effects, raising over £2 million for this amazing charity! Apparently men are even getting in on this trend, by posting selfie's with makeup on! (Now is your opportunity to stitch your dad's/boyfriend's/male friends right up! Let's do it girls!)

So, why not have a bit of a laugh and get donating yourselves if you hadn't already done so! I've braved it and posted my no make-up selfie, now it's your turn!!!
