I just bought my first Viva Glam product last week. It feels good to make a donation to a worthy cause and get a free lipgloss!

wonderful post. vg is a charitable cause. it's sickening that people want to profit off it.

thats like one of the worst things you can do.

you do realise that those stealing it from MAC are probaly those delivering it etc and have NO IDEA where the money goes- i'm not justify stealing on any level, but those stealing it probaly don't even know where the money goes to

No, employees must pay the full retail price of all Viva Glam products.

Viva glam is a sham. It costs Estee Lauder $1 to make the lipstick, yet you buy it for $14. It's not MAC that makes the donations, it's you.

I'm not entirely sure how something that has raised over $60 million for AIDS research can be called a sham. If it costs Estée Lauder just $1 to make Viva Glam lipsticks then it costs them $1 to make their other lipsticks too. When you buy their other lipsticks the $13 difference goes to Estée Lauder. When you buy Viva Glam they choose to forfeit (lose) this amount so I can't see it as a sham this way either. When did you last dig your hands into your pocket and give as much as $13 (£6.85) to any charity?

Oopsy...didn't mean to thank!
Well I sponsored my friend £20 for a run, for breast cancer research last week.
