Many women feel guilty when indulging in the purchase of a new eyeshadow or a pricey tube of lipstick. Some companies are making the splurge more justifiable for consumers by donating a portion of their proceeds to charity.
The New York Times reports that makeup artist Laura Geller recently came out with a limited edition kit called Bring on the Bronze to benefit the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis. It includes a copper-toned makeup bag filled with a makeup primer, body bronzer, an eyeshadow duo, eyeliner and a lip gloss for $55, with 20 percent of the cost going toward the charity.
DivineCaroline.com suggests purchasing LUSH's Give PAWS soaps to support the Vancouver Humane Society. Featuring red paw prints, the soaps have an earthy fragrance of sandalwood, bergamot and neroli oils. The full $5.95 cost goes toward helping animals at the shelter.
Additionally, the lifestyle website recommends the entire PeaceKeeper Cause-Metics line, which is set up to benefit women living in poverty. All profits from the sale of these products goes toward advocacy and human rights groups.
