Clinique Kicks-off Kiss It Better for a Good Cause

Where have I been? Well, not under a rock! Rather, I've been working on several charity events, giving talks on "Building Better Brand-Charity Relationships," working with a few new brand clients, and recently launched my new Run for Causes (TM) program which I am tickled pink about...I work with charities who either have their own 5K run or want to raise money in other 5K, 10K, 1/2 marathons and full marathons. It has taken off like wild fire, and as a veteran long distance runner since the age of 11, I am excited to help charities raise $$$, expand their network, and get their miles in all at the same time. Check it out at Run for Causes.

Look what I found, a beauty brand that’s giving back to a good cause. Clinique, a brand of Estee Lauder, has launched their new Kiss It Better gift set. This lovely silver-shiny makeup bag includes their best selling lip products. They are donating 50% of all sales during the month of February to Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity.

PureDKNY Really Cares!

Last night I was watching the Chelsea, "Bang-Bang" Lately Show. She interviewed Jennifer Aniston about her new flick, Switch, to be released this Friday in theatres everywhere. In addition, Jen, friend of a long-ago friend of mine, actress, Leslie Bibb (really), revealed her new fragrance. Apparently, Jen loves fragrances. Well, over the years, I have invested in fine fragrances. My nose knows and I appreciate now lighter, cleaner smells. Yet some of favorite fragances rose, jasmine and sandlewood.

So Donna Karan’s newest fragrance, pureDKNY blends rose, jasmine, sandalwood with hints of vanilla into one fine bottle. In addition, Donna Karan's pureDKNY fragrance has partnered with CARE, a humanitarian group fighting poverty issues globally. Together, pureDKNY and CARE are helping entreprenurial women in this the Uganda region provide incomes for themselves and their family now and long-term.

The vanilla used in this fragrance is grown sustainably in Uganda. pureDKNY supports CARE, an international development organization, in a specific microfinance project that will reach 900 Ugandan vanilla farmers, many of whom are women.

The bottle, organic in shape and inspired by a drop of water, appears to be formed by nature. The materials include 100% recyclable glass and a cap of high-purity aluminum. Its compostable box is made of sustainably harvested paper manufactured in a mill that uses 100% renewable energy.
