A Cultie had emailed me and asked me to reach out to KarlaSugar about participating. At that moment, I knew I had to. One of my goals for Cult Nails as many of you know is to give back to my community. But when I received this email, I realized the Cult Nails community is so much larger than just the local community I live in. We're worldwide. Then I started thinking about how we donated polish to a Girl's Scout troop in New Jersey, Polish to the HollyRod Foundation in California, Turkey's to those in my own community and many other things along the way and realized that Doctor's Without Borders is just another perfect way for us to give back and make a difference around the world! When you think of the world as your community and how much needs to be done, it is daunting, but little by little, a difference can be made.
From the Beauty Blogger's website - here is what they are about:
BeautyBloggers.org is the result of a collaboration between beauty bloggers and brands. In the spirit of the holidays, we wanted to make a meaningful contribution to charity — but there’s only so much a charity can do with eyeshadow and lipgloss.
So we’re putting our (new) makeup on the auction block. Winning bids will be donated directly to Doctors Without Borders. Bidders anywhere in the world are welcome, and shipping is “free.” That is, the full amount of your winning bid will go to charity — the bloggers have agreed to donate the cost of shipping, in addition to the items themselves.
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. Its focus is international, and it’s a charity everyone can support. 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.
We’ll be collecting payment through a secure page set up with Doctors Without Borders.
The 2011 auction begins at 8 am CST on Monday, November 28, and ends at 5 pm CST on Monday, December 12.
Here is what I am donating:
