Scamp & Dude x Ruby Hammer Red Foil Make Up Bags | British Beauty Blogger

[unpaid/sample/affiliate/ad] This isn’t the first year that clothing brand Scamp & Dude have collaborated with beauty names for charity. Their 2018 campaign achieved over £35,000 for charity. The best thing about it is that each of the content creators can choose which charity the proceeds of their ‘Swag Bag With Purpose’ goes to. Ruby’s is going to a Parkinson’s charity but you can choose from seven different designs and seven different charities.

Swag Bags With Purpose

I really like them – the foiling makes the leopard print stand out so much. Very glamorous. There are two sizes, medium and large.

Swag Bags With Purpose

The smaller size is plenty room enough for all your make up while the bigger is probably better as a wash bag because it’s very spacious.

Swag Bags With Purpose

This gives you an idea of the size difference but I know I could get all my travel make up in the smaller bag and have room to spare. Swag Bags With Purpose is aiming to send £160,000 to charities this year with £15 and £10 from the bags going straight to charity. You can head straight to Ruby’s bag which is £35 for the larger and £25 for the smaller HERE.

Ruth Crilly

Ruth’s pink design, supporting Bristol Children’s Hospital, is HERE. 

Caroline Hirons

Caroline’s favourite camo design is HERE  supporting diabetes charities and you can also find designs from Sali Hughes, Sam Chapman, Adeola Gboyeda and Hannah Martin.

3 reasons why storing food in aluminum foil might be dangerous

3 reasons why storing food in aluminum foil might be dangerous


Aluminium foil has been a kitchen staple for decades, often used for wrapping leftovers, grilling, and even baking.

However, recent concerns have emerged regarding the potential health risks associated with storing food in aluminium foil. Here are three reasons why using aluminium foil for food storage might pose dangers to your health;

One of the main concerns with storing food in aluminium foil is the potential for chemical leaching. When exposed to certain foods, especially those that are acidic or salty, there is a possibility that aluminium can migrate into the food. This can lead to the ingestion of small amounts of aluminium, which has been linked to various health issues, including neurological disorders and kidney problems. While the amount of aluminium absorbed from aluminium foil is generally minimal, long-term exposure and accumulation may still pose a risk.

Aluminium foil is commonly used for cooking and grilling, but subjecting it to high temperatures can result in a chemical reaction. When heated, aluminium can react with certain foods, particularly those containing spices, citrus fruits, or vinegar.

This reaction can cause the transfer of aluminium ions into the food, altering its taste and potentially posing health risks. Some studies have even suggested a possible correlation between high aluminium intake and an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, although further research is needed to establish a definitive link.

Aluminium foil is manufactured by rolling aluminium into thin sheets, and this process may introduce impurities or contaminants into the foil. These impurities can include heavy metals such as lead or mercury, which are harmful to human health. When food comes into contact with the foil, there is a risk of these contaminants leaching into the food, especially when dealing with acidic or salty ingredients.

With these predicted dangers associated with using aluminium foil for food storage, it might be better to consider some safer alternatives such as glass containers or stainless steel.
