Thank you to everyone who has signed the petition, shared with friends, commented, tweeted and supported me thus far! We are almost at 1500 signatures now since Monday!
We had some progress today as Channel Nine covered the story online and on their social media.

We have also had responses from Coles, Woolworths and MCoBeauty.
Woolworths spokesperson: "We serve a diverse mix of customers and aim to reflect this in our range. Across the entire supermarket we select products based on the volume of demand, but we understand a different approach is needed to offer a more inclusive range in cosmetics. We’ve previously trialled a broader selection of cosmetics tones online, and will continue to listen to our customers to help improve our cosmetics offering both in-store and online."
Coles spokesperson: “Coles values and celebrates diversity. We work with our suppliers to provide a range of cosmetics that is inclusive and meets the needs of our customers. We appreciate customer feedback and are always looking for ways to improve our offering. We will review the opportunity to increase our range online in line with customer demand.”
An MCoBeauty spokeswoman said while the company would love their entire range to be stocked at Woolworths and Big W it understood this wasn't possible due to shelf space limitations.
I will continue to keep you posted on how the petition is going. In the meantime please keep sharing the link so we can get as many signatures as possible!
Thanks again,
Rebecca
