<p>Hey girls!  As many of you know, <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/giving_back/vivaglam.tmpl" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">M.A.C. VIVA GLAM</span></a> and <a href="http://www.macaidsfund.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">M.A.C. AIDS Fund</span></a> are two very noteworthy programs that M.A.C. Cosmetics established in 1994 where every cent of the selling price from the Viva Glam line is donated to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS.  With spokespeople like Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, Pamela Anderson, and Dita Von Teese (among many fabulous others) heading their past campaigns, the VIVA GLAM campaign ads have become something M.A.C. makeup fans look forward to.  Well M.A.C. has now chosen two new incredible artists to represent the generations of women affected by this epidemic.  Cyndi Lauper and Lady Gaga are now gracing the VIVA GLAM ads you will be seeing and are helping to promote the sale of VIVA GLAM&#8217;s two new lip colors called Cyndi and Gaga.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2048" title="21010_021010_VivaGlam_Cyndi" src="http://bigcitybeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/21010_021010_VivaGlam_Cyndi.jpg" alt="21010_021010_VivaGlam_Cyndi" width="186" height="160" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Cyndi is a light coral-red</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2049" title="21010_021010_VivaGlam_Gaga" src="http://bigcitybeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/21010_021010_VivaGlam_Gaga.jpg" alt="21010_021010_VivaGlam_Gaga" width="186" height="160" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Gaga is a cool blue-pink</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now I am absolutely loving Gaga and definitely plan to stop by my local M.A.C. counter to try it out since these two colors will only be available for a limited time.  I hope you all will too as this is such a great cause and you can rest assured that every single penny you spend on the VIVA GLAM line will go directly towards the M.A.C. AIDS Fund.  And don&#8217;t forget that all of their past launches for VIVA GLAM can still be purchased as well so definitely check them out too!  <img src='http://bigcitybeauty.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Until next time girls&#8230;  xoxo</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you all know, tragedy had hit Haiti late Tuesday night with a 7.0 earthquake.  With the devastating news pouring in by the hour over the last couple days, I have decided to take this opportunity to make Big City Beauty&#8217;s first contribution to our new eco-charity winner from <a href="http://bigcitybeauty.com/2010/01/big-city-beautys-end-of-the-year-giveaway-winners/" target="_self"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">BCB&#8217;s End of the Year Giveaway</span></a>.</p>
<p>FEED Projects, along with their parent charity the FEED Foundation, has established the FEED Haiti Fund to maintain WFP school feeding.  In times of emergency, many funds to provide immediate support to victims are drawn from long standing development programs such as WFP (<span style="color: #cc99ff;"><a href="http://www.wfp.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">World Food Programme</span></a></span>).  With every contribution made through the FEED Haiti Fund, we will be ensuring that the children of Haiti along with their families are receiving aid.  In addition to any monetary contributions, FEED Projects will also donate any profit made from the sale of <a href="http://www.feedprojects.com/_product_78667/FEED_1_Bag" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">FEED 1</span></a> and <a href="http://www.feedprojects.com/_product_78667/FEED_2_Bag" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">FEED 2</span></a> bags from January until June directly to the FEED Haiti Fund to ensure that the children of Haiti will continue to receive help.  Please click the <a href="http://www.thefeedfoundation.org/donate-haiti.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Help Haiti Now</span></a> button below to make a direct donation or visit <a href="http://www.feedprojects.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">FEEDProjects.com</span></a> to purchase one of their contributing bags.  Thank you all for your consideration in this effort and please help me spread the word on the <a href="http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2007/impact/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc99ff;">many other ways</span></a> you can help Haiti.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.thefeedfoundation.org/donate-haiti.asp"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1822" title="Help Haiti Now" src="http://bigcitybeauty.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/g_haiti_186x186.gif" alt="Help Haiti Now" width="186" height="186" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My heart and prayers are with you, Haiti&#8230;  xoxo</p>
