GUEST POST | Bellaboo's UK editors chat about LoveLula's model search

You may or may not know this, but we’ve recently hit the UK. We’re pretty excited about it and one of the online stores we’re in have been so taken with the Bellaboo range that we’ve been invited to share in their Model Search campaign. Some of our new UK Editors tell us a bit more:

Tahja:

LoveLula is one of the largest natural beauty stores here in Europe and recently they’ve launched a great competition to find 3 faces of natural beauty. Like Bellaboo, they are interested in beauty on the inside just as much as beauty on the outside and are massively into caring for the planet too. They’ve got really strict rules as to what gets in and what doesn’t ingredients wise.

Courtney:

Their Model Search has three different categories. The one Bellaboo is joining forces on is the 25 and under one which is open to anyone living in the UK over 16. As well as the obvious photos of yourself, they are also asking for entrants to send in 200 words explaining why natural or organic products are important to them. We love that the competition is so in line with Bellaboo’s way of doing things: beauty on the inside too, and can’t wait to see the entries.

Carris:

What’s really exciting about the competition is that LoveLula have asked the Bellaboo team to be on the judging panel! But before they get their say, it’s up to everyone to have theirs. From the 1^st July to the 30^th, the public are being asked to vote for their favourites, which will create the shortlist which the judges choose from. So we really want to hear from you: who will you think is the Bellaboo kind of girl in the UK? We’ll be back when the 3 are chosen to tell you a bit more about them!

GUEST POST | We meet Bellaboo founder Snezna Kerekovic

Bellaboo is an all natural skin care system for young girls. It's for that girl at the beginning of her skin care journey. That teen girl in the midst of puberty and pimples. And, that early 20s girl seeking effective skin care that's not too rich and not yet about anti-aging.

Becoming a skin care creator is something new for me. I started my career in journalism and ended up in the wonderful world of beauty as a beauty editor. This complete emersion in beauty and beauty products is what led me to create Bellaboo. That and becoming a mum.

With my own daughter in mind I went in search of effective, natural skin care. There was nothing. Everything on the shelf was chemical-based, all about attacking pimples by drying them out, and all so clinical-looking. Light-bulb moment - create a skin care range that is natural, can be used for every girl regardless of her skin care issues, is uncomplicated, delivers results without harm to the skin, and actually speaks her language and appeals to her visually.

Bellaboo, named after my own Bella, whose nickname happens to be Bellaboo, was born!

Our skin care is 99.5% natural ingredient-based with zero nasty chemicals. I can honestly say I think we have created one of the purest skin care ranges for young skin on the planet!! This is a skin care system for every day for every girl. It is a pimple prevention and pimple treatment program. It is an acne care solution and acre treatment that delivers results based on proven natural ingredients vs nasty drying chemicals.

The dream was to create a skin care brand that addressed the skin problems of girls in their tweens, teens and twenties, whilst being fun and part of their world. And, I'm thrilled to say we did it. Bellaboo Skin Care treats pimples and acne without the side effects you get with many other products. And, if you are lucky enough to have escaped pimplesand acne, it is still effective in keeping skin normal, healthy and glowing. Girls tell us they notice a difference in their skin within days!

For me personally, and everyone on our team, Bellaboo is more than just skin care. We believe that real beauty is, yes, addressing the external stuff but, more importantly, working on the inside. Real beauty comes from within. If you feel beautiful that is how others will see you too. I want to strive to make that difference inside and out! I want to make Bellaboo a total brand experience that is across all aspects of a young woman's life

I hope you enjoy the Bellaboo experience!
