Look good, feel good: Beauty gives back

Championing the notion that beauty is more than skin deep, these products have made a commitment to pay it forward, ensuring that your beauty purchases are for a good cause:

 

1. The Body Shop Christmas Collection

This season, The Body Shop invites us to Feel Good Wonderland: an enchanted world filled with sensations and scents to delight your senses. Our favourite pick from the collection is the Frosted Plum bath and body care range. This enchanting series of fruit-floral beauty treats features an elegant blend of ripe plum, magnolia and peony notes. In partnership with WaterAid, The Body Shop will provide a family in Ethiopia with one day of safe water for every specially selected gift bought.

 

2. M.A.C Viva Glam

Since its creation in 1994, the iconic M.A.C Viva Glam lipstick range has been contributing to the M.A.C Aids Fund. Every cent of the selling price of Viva Glam goes toward helping men, women and children living with and affected by HIV/Aids. So, pick a shade, look glamorous and give back at the same time.
