I'm always a little concerned to see Viva Glam lip products for sale on eBay.

The whole raison d'être of Viva Glam is to raise money for AIDS research. The program is absolutely unique in the industry in that every single cent of the full retail price of the product goes to that good cause and not just the profit element.

To date, over $60 million has been raised by the M·A·C AIDS Fund, mostly through the sale of Viva Glam lip products. That is amazing and the program deserves our continuing support.

When a Viva Glam product is listed on eBay, we don't know where it's come from, whether any money has already been given to the M·A·C AIDS fund for that particular product and what happens to the money that the eBay seller gets for selling it. I'm pretty sure that it doesn't go to the M·A·C AIDS fund.

Therefore, I would urge people to buy Viva Glam products only from authorized M·A·C outlets and not from eBay or other websites.

Thank you,

Sarah
