International AIDS Vaccine Initiative We are sure you're already aware that AIDS is an epidemic and have purchased MAC Viva Glam lipsticks to help support the cause (or perhaps because you simply loved the colors). The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) mission is "to ensure the development of safe, effective, accessible, preventive HIV vaccines for use throughout the world," helping the "7,400 people" that are infected by this disease a day. Visit IAVI.org for more info and to join the cause.

I love seeing people working hard for their charities. I buy products with the donation, made by the company, whenever possible! We talk about health and beauty and these are some honorable charities that I'm so glad are getting recognition!

All great charities. I always like to check out and see the percentage of profit that an organization will keep for themselves and donate to the ones that give more and keep less.

I am somewhat disappointed that the majority of these are geared toward women and girls. I'm all for stopping violence against women and rape but maybe if we spent more time nurturing the upbringing of young men we wouldn't have to worry so much about it?

Giving your time selflessly is the best beauty tip ever. When you feel good inside, you couldn't be more beautiful.

This is the BEST totalbeauty gallery! :) II think it's important to give to charity and/or volunteer, and it's also good to buy products that benefit good causes when possible. MAC's Viva Glam products are also great, and I can't wait to try LUSH's Charity Pots.
