Cosmetics for a Cause - Supporting Japan

While you can make a personal donation to organizations like the American Red Cross, which will play a key role in disaster relief in months and years to come, you can also support socially responsible beauty brands that have chosen to give back in a big way.

Tatcha: Inspired by the strength and beauty of the Japanese people as they experience such tremendous hardship, Tatcha has released a benefit gift set complete with the word korkoroyori, meaning “from the heart”. Used for ages in Japan, these all-natural, handmade blotting papers remove excess oil and sweat without smudging makeup or drying out skin. All profits from the sales of this gift box through March 31, 2011, will go to support Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund—a relief effort dedicated to supporting the littlest survivors of Japan. Tatcha hopes to raise at least $10,000 from this special edition gift.

NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
