A VERY good cause...

 

I love it when the beauty blogging world comes together, and that's exactly what's happening right now thanks to the lovely Karla Sugar and her brainchild, BeautyBloggers.org:

BeautyBloggers.org is the collaboration of almost 50 different beauty bloggers and brands. In the spirit of the holidays, we wanted to make a meaningful contribution to charity — knowing that the  most effective donation to any charity is cash.

 
So we’re putting our [new, unused] makeup on the auction block. Winning bids will be donated directly to Doctors Without Borders.

 
We’re raising money for Doctors Without Borders because women are always disproportionately affected in any disaster. This organization is committed to bringing quality medical care to people in crisis, regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation. They treat rape victims in Papua New Guinea; they make sure women don’t die in childbirth in Pakistan; they helped flood victims in Mexico and earthquake victims in Haiti. They work in 65 countries around the world, and your donation will make an immediate impact. Click here to learn more about MSF.

The auction is live now, and will close on Monday, December 20 at 5 pm CST. We are asking people to register before they can bid. This is simply to try to discourage "spam" bids. Usernames will be public (because the auction shows the username of the current highest bidder), but first name, last name, and email address will be private.  They will only be used to contact the winning bidders. Yes, international bidders are welcome, too!

When the auction ends, Karla will contact the winning bidders, and ask them to make a donation through this secure site: http://www.firstgiving.com/beautybloggers

So many of your favorite bloggers and brands are participating in this event that it's pretty much a no-brainer. Some of the bloggers/brands donating products to this auction are: Afrobella, PurseBuzz, PinkSith, OlderGirlBeauty, CafeMakeup, EnkoreMakeup, OPI, Lancome, Bobbi Brown, Cargo and the list goes on and on!

Now's your chance to bid on some FANTASTIC beauty products (including some rare, LE and hard-to-find goodies) and it's all for an amazing cause. This is one splurge you can feel absolutely great about!
