Stuff We Love for August

Neutrogena and Clean & Clear products

Shopping for a cause

We’re going out on a limb here and assuming that you’re a beauty junkie who buys products pretty often. So we figure, if you’re out there buying up the shampoo aisle at Target, you might as well pick products that do some good (and not just for your hair or skin). Here are few of our current faves:

• Through August 23, Neutrogena will donate $1 for every Wave Sonic Power-Cleaner, $14.99 and Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit, $6.99 product sold. The money will go to GlobalGiving, but the cool part is you can help decide where exactly the money goes. Just go to Neutrogena’s Facebook page and take their quiz to see which cause (the environment, education or disaster relief) is most important to you. Your vote will determine what percentage of the money goes where.

• Clean & Clear is working with DoSomething.org on their program “Join the Surge.” Basically, you go to their website, sign up to join DoSomething.org (where you’ll find volunteer opportunities and tips to start your own projects) and you’ll get a $5 coupon for Clean & Clear products. Plus, you can enter a contest to meet Demi Lovato, who’s super involved with the campaign.
