Weekly beauty tutorials: holiday gift guides
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

For nature lovers - Lush Cosmetics are preservative-free and don't require packaging in most cases (they're cut off from large blocks, weighed, and wrapped in recycled paper at the brand's stores), which makes them perfect gifts for the environmentally aware giftee. They also offer sets of products aimed at mothers, girlfriends, or even your crush.
