WHAT’S INSIDE LILY’S HANDBAG?

Whether you’re a label queen or a fan of the cheap ‘n’ cheerful, odds are that you have a bag that makes a statement about you.

Like beauty at The Body Shop, while the exterior of your bag is important, we all know it’s what inside that truly counts. Here, Lily comes clean about the everyday things that she can’t live without. The results show that while she may be an activist, a model and an actor, she’s also an extremely down to earth individual. Refreshing, we know.

Tablet
It’s ideal for social media when I’m on the go.

The Body Shop make-up bag
There’s loads of stuff in here. I’ll tell you about that next time!

Big and Curvy Mascara
Big and curvy is beautiful – and that’s how my lashes look when I use this. It’s brilliant.

Tea Tree Oil
With a thousand and one uses, I take it everywhere I go.

Passport
My job demands that I travel frequently, so I carry my passport around with me everywhere.

Hemp Hand Protector
My secret weapon against dry hands. It’s a cult product, and for good reason.

Sketch pad and pencil
I love sketching whenever I have the opportunity.

Smartphone
If I’m not on my tablet, I’m on my phone, taking photos or talking to my mum.

The Body Shop Mini Hairbrush
This brush doesn’t use any animal hair and is perfectly purse-sized.

Oyster card
I’d rather catch the tube than a cab. I think it’s much more environmentally friendly, and often quicker.

Body and Soul by Anita Roddick
The Body Shop has a truly inspiring story to tell.

Meet Lily Cole

Lily Cole is our new brand advocate. We’re delighted to have her on board, and caught up with her to ask a few questions.

Why did you decide to become an advocate for The Body Shop?
I have long been an advocate of the potential of using business and consumer power to cause positive change. It feels amazing to be supporting a brand who are pioneers in that way of working.

What inspired you to become an activist?
Edmund Burke said, “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” I used to have that quote on my bedroom door growing up! I’m not saying I’m a good man, but I think as soon as you are aware of injustices you have a responsibility to try and address them… although I still see myself as a developing activist!

Do you feel that views of beauty are changing?
I feel like people are questioning superficial values and looking for real value instead. True beauty comes from within, and I feel that more and more people are beginning to realise that.
