The Stylish Cookie Bag Promotes Animal WelfareA portion of proceeds from the bag by Jane Iredale goes to the Berkshire Humane Society. Natural skincare maker Jane Iredale has recently released a limited-edition makeup bag that’s utterly adorable and for a great cause. Featuring Jane’s very own four-legged friend, Cookie, happily hanging out in a field of lavender, the pouch is meant to hold makeup, but it could also be a neat little holder for dog treats, your pet’s meds, or empty poop bags tossed in your car or oversized purse.As part of the holistic makeup brand’s long-standing commitment to being cruelty free, the bag is vegan and a portion of proceeds from the sales will be donated to the Berkshire Humane Society in Great Barrington, Mass. The organization promotes animal welfare via sheltering, adoption, education, and other community outreach. And that goes for all homeless pets, not just dogs.With the holidays almost around the corner and a limited supply of these bags, the pup pouch would make a nice gift for any animal lover looking to make a difference. At $18, the Jane Iredale Cookie Bag is the perfect present for your dog walker, pet sitter, or close friend – and especially someone who also appreciates the line’s certified cruelty-free (by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics’ Leaping Bunny) makeup and skin and bodycare.
