The ultimate in gorgeous and do-good! Pandora’s Makeup Box has created a new lip gloss, I Am A Girl, to benefit International Plan Canada’s Because I Am A Girl campaign.
Canadian founder of Pandora’s Makeup Box, Susan Kirsch, was inspired to use her makeup line for good after a trip through the slums of Kenya. She partnered with Because I Am A Girl volunteers to settle on the perfect shade--bubble-gum pink--to complement everyone.

The product comes in an appropriately girlie floral tube and has a deliciously fresh spearmint flavour when applied. Fifty percent of the proceeds of I Am A Girl lip gloss go directly to Because I Am A Girl projects such as scholarships, school construction and health initiatives. $16 each; available at pandorasmakeupbox.com.
