MAC Viva Glam VI Special Edition

 

Los Angeles, CA – Thursday, March 5th, 2009 Fergie, M·A·C Cosmetics’ VIVA GLAM Spokesperson, revealed her new VIVA GLAM VI Special Edition Lipstick and new VIVA GLAM advertising campaign in Los Angeles. She visited Project Angel Food, an organization committed to providing free prepared meals and nutrition counseling for those living with HIV/AIDS. She then appeared at the M·A·C store on North Robertson Blvd to help raise awareness of HIV/AIDS by helping to sell VIVA GLAM lipsticks, which have raised over $130 million for HIV/AIDS globally over the past 15 years.  100% of the selling price of M·A·C’s VIVA GLAM products go towards the M·A·C AIDS Fund.

World AIDS Day

Today is World AIDS Day.  Having known people who died from AIDS and having loved ones who are living with AIDS, this day is important to me.  I hope that all of you have been tested and that you encouraged your friends and family to do so, as well.

One of the reasons I love MAC Cosmetics is that they have long been devoted to raising AIDS awareness and raising funds to go towards AIDS research, through their Viva Glam program.  It's a beautiful thing.  To find out more about the Viva Glam program or to purchase any of the Viva Glam products, click here.

Too Faced Eyeshadow Duo in Betsy Baby

Too Faced's founder, Jerrod Blandino, created the Too Faced Eyeshadow Duo in Betsy Baby for one of his friends, Sephora's Betsy Olum.  In 2007, the Sr. Vice President of Marketing was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Betsy asked Jerrod if he would bring back one her favorite discontinued Too Faced shadow, Heiress.  Jerrod did and created the perfect highlighting-accent color.  Now, the duo has been named Betsy Baby in honor of her battle and triumph over breast cancer.

Jerrod committed that $3 per sale of each of these limited-edition duos be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  Both Betsy and Sephora have agreed to match his committment and $9 of each of the sales will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation!

Each duo retails for $17.

Sephora BCA Pocket Brush Set (Breast Cancer Awareness Month)

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Sephora offers a purse-sized trifold case containing five essential brushes, the BCA Pocket Brush Set.  The case is small enough to slip into even the tiniest of evening purses.  The pink faux-leather case is cute and practical, with a magnetic closure.  Inside are five mini brushes - but they're not so mini that they're useless.  You will get a powder brush, eyeshadow brush, brow/liner brush, lip brush and concealer brush.

$1 from the sale of each set will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  The set retails for $15 and you can get it here: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P193322&searchString=bca%20pocket%20brush%20set.
