Beauty and style items you can feel good about buying

Whether shopping for yourself or someone else, these are products you’ll feel good about buying — and you’ll look great too.

1. Love Quotes scarves

These scarves are a celebrity favorite and are available in a wide variety of colors and fabrics. They are heavenly to travel with but substantial enough to keep you warm and cozy. I practically live in mine. And I love the fact that 10 percent of net profits are donated to international children’s charities.

2. Rebecca Taylor blouse

Rebecca Taylor Breast Cancer Awareness blouse

Every fall, Rebecca Taylor begins selling a new top in support of breast cancer awareness. I think this year’s floaty, flirty design is my favorite yet, and 50 percent of the proceeds from this silky blouse go directly to the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation.

3. Laura Mercier lip glace

Laura Mercier

Winter is the perfect time to experiment with rich lip colors. Laura Mercier lip glace in Rose Hope is the perfect hybrid of pink and red — pretty and soft while still being a bit bold. Plus, 100 percent of the profits from the sale of this product will be donated to the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund.

4. Charity Pot body lotion

The Lush Charity Pot is a hand and body lotion that does a lot more than hydrate. Every single pre-tax penny funds and supports grassroots charities all around the world. The ylang ylang scent and rich consistency makes this moisturizer perfect for winter, soothing and smoothing dry hands, feet and anywhere else you need it.

5. Altruette charms

Charms for charity

How charming! When you buy one of these adorable Altruette charms, 50 percent of the net profit goes to a specific charity. For example, the Christmas tree helps Toys for Tots while the hummingbird charm represents The Nature Conservancy. It’s almost impossible to pick a favorite, and that’s okay — the more you buy, the more causes you support!
