In exciting news, our South Australian volunteer Kathy Rutledge is one of three finalists in Tea Tree Plaza Westfield's Local Heroes awards and recognition program.
Kathy was nominated for making a positive impact to her local community through her 13 years of volunteering with the Look Good Feel Better program.
As a finalist, Kathy receives a $5,000 grant for Look Good Feel Better but there is the opportunity for her to be awarded a $20,000 grant as the winner, so we would LOVE your help.
Visit the voting portal before 22nd August to vote for Kathy, and be sure to spread the word amongst your friends and family too!
The grant will allow us to support 200 cancer patients across nine venues in the Adelaide region, so your help in securing the funding would be greatly appreciated.
For nearly a century, Revlon has been a brand of firsts – a brand to both empower and support women.
In another first, Revlon has recently announced Delta Goodrem as the brand’s first Australian brand ambassador, joining a global cast of dynamic, strong and fearless women who embody the power of being bold and living fully, freely and with purpose.
As a leading lip brand in both Australia and New Zealand, Revlon is joining forces with the Delta Goodrem Foundation on a purpose-led campaign to celebrate International Lipstick Day on July 29, 2022 in support of Look Good Feel Better - the brand’s long-standing charity partner.
Revlon General Manager, Kaitlin Rady, said: “I’m very proud of the partnership between Revlon, the Delta Goodrem Foundation and Chemist Warehouse to support and raise awareness for Look Good Feel Better, who provide invaluable, practical skills and knowledge to manage appearance-related side effects of cancer treatment. Knowing that we have helped in a small way to empower women to feel more like themselves, and hopefully face the day with a little more confidence is very humbling.”
Goodrem added: “I want the Foundation to be a source of kindness, hope and compassion for people with a mission to create meaningful change. To achieve these goals the Delta Goodrem Foundation centres its focus on inspiring programming, direct support for meaningful initiatives and forming authentic partnerships to accelerate change, which is incredibly aligned to the work of Look Good Feel Better.”
Carol Kavurma, General Manager of Look Good Feel Better, said: “Our decades-long partnership with Revlon has ensured many thousands of cancer patients across the country have had access to our confidence-boosting program, as well as the delight of receiving Revloncosmetics in their Confidence Kits. We’re thrilled to be partnered with Revlon and the Delta Goodrem Foundation for this campaign, helping to further empower and support our program participants.”
To get involved, buy any Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Chemist Warehouse between July 7 and August 3 and $2 from every purchase will be donated to Look Good Feel Better.
Beauty expert extraordinaire and Look Good Feel Better Ambassador Leigh Campbell has decided to take on the Dry July challenge to help to make a difficult time a little easier for people affected by cancer.
On deciding to take part she said, "I attended my first Look Good Feel Better workshop in 2013 and couldn’t believe the transformation such a simple premise was able to provide those who attended and how grateful they were for our support. For 32 years the program has been empowering those undergoing cancer treatment by providing practical skills and knowledge to help them navigate the physical, mental and emotional side-effects of cancer treatment. Now as a proud Ambassador, I’m taking on the Dry July challenge knowing that my month without alcohol could make a lifetime of difference for someone else."
Since 2015, the Dry July Foundation has contributed $1.7 million dollars in funding to the Look Good Feel Better program, with $686,000 of this total being raised by individuals taking part throughout July.
This has allowed us to help over 22,000 Australians undergoing cancer treatment.
With one Face-to-Face Workshop supporting 10 cancer patients costing over $1,000 to run, and providing one cancer patient with a Home-Delivered Confidence Kit and access to our Virtual Workshops costing over $100, this year we're hoping to achieve our goal of $200,000 raised to provide the program to 2,000 cancer patients over the next 12 months.
To contribute to Leigh's fundraising efforts and to help her reach her target of $10,000 towards supporting cancer patients through the Look Good Feel Better program, visit her Dry July page today.

Three years after first experiencing the Look Good Feel Better program, Eleanor Pendleton has been announced as an Ambassador.
As founder and editor-in-chief of Gritty Pretty — Australia's leading beauty website and digital magazine - and a multi-award winning beauty and health journalist, Eleanor is a trusted voice on all things beauty.
After attending a Look Good Feel Better workshop in 2018 and being immediately taken by the impact the program has on its participants - both short and long-term - Eleanor was humbled to take on the important role, advocating for support of the program and building awareness for the benefit of Australians undergoing cancer treatment.
"I've seen first-hand just how powerful, transformative and self-esteem boosting beauty can be for cancer patients – the power of a brow pencil, a red lipstick or a groomed wig can quite literally change how a woman feels when they've had a hard round of treatment or are processing their diagnosis. It's my honour to support Look Good Feel Better and the work that they do."
We're thrilled to announce that Leigh Campbell has come on board as the newest Ambassador for Look Good Feel Better.
Having amassed almost two decades in women’s lifestyle media, Leigh is an undeniable expert within the beauty industry. Leigh first attended a Look Good Feel Better workshop in 2003 and she has since advocated for support of the program through her writing, and her extensive industry connections.
On being appointed as an ambassador, Leigh said: “I was so chuffed to be asked to come on board and help further the wonderful work of Look Good Feel Better. I'll never forget how I felt after attending my first workshop - the gratitude expressed for the help (and short break from 'reality') we were able to offer the participants touched me greatly. I'm honoured to assist this incredible charity in any way I can.”
We're excited to work closely with Leigh, building awareness and raising funds for the benefit of our participants.
We recently attended The Green Edit Event, hosted by Look Good Feel Better volunteer, and Founder and Curator of The Green Edit, Cathy Tolpigin.
The event raised money for Look Good Feel Better through ticket sales and allowed us to connect with a number of new brands in the cosmetic industry, resulting in some wonderful stock donations.
Our sincere gratitude goes to Cathy for her tireless commitment to the Look Good Feel Better program, and thanks also goes to those who purchased tickets and joined us on the day to show support.
If you would like to hear Cathy's recent podcast discussing the Look Good Feel Better program with General Manager, Carol Kavurma, you can listen here.
For every lipstick purchased from now until 12th March 2022, YSL Beauty will donate a lipstick on your behalf to the Look Good Feel Better Program.
