November is the time where we can pause our hectic lives and reflect on what we’re thankful for. In addition to my health, family and friends, I’m also grateful for the following beauty brands, which not only help us look and feel good, but give back to others in need. Here are my top picks for the month of giving thanks from my November Lifestyle Media Group Magazine Article:
1. Aveda Inner Light Concealer: I was pleasantly surprised as to how much I loved the coverage of the concealer and was equally impressed to hear that the company partners with nonprofit organizations to aid with social and environmental improvements. ($24, Aveda stores and www.aveda.com)
2. MAC Viva Glam: Every penny of the selling price from this lipstick line goes directly to helping men, women, and children with A.I.D.S. Out of the eight shades, my personal favorite is Viva Glam II, a muted pink nude. ($17, MAC Cosmetics, Department stores)
3. Tarte Cosmetics: The best selling company gives back to women’s health organizations and cooperatives in the rainforest, which makes me feel extra good about purchasing some of my favorite products such as Lights, Camera, Flashes Statement Mascara and Flush Cheek Stain. ($23, $30, Ulta, Sephora)
4. Philosophy Purity Made Simple Face Wash: I love that Philosophy created the Hope & Grace Initiative, and 1% of all philosophy product sales goes to supporting community-based mental health efforts just as much as I love how this cleanser makes my skin feel. ($11-55, Philosophy, Sephora, Department stores)
5. Olivine Love + Salt Beach Hair and Body Mist: This spray will give you sultry beach waves we all love when, hydrates skin, and 5% of all sales go to Every Mother Counts, a campaign on a mission to end preventable deaths caused by pregnancy and childbirth around the world. The perfect 3-in-1! ($26, www.shopolivine.com, Anthropoligie, Amazon)
Cheers to a great month ahead!
