A long-standing commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDs? Tick.
Millions of dollars already donated to the cause? Tick.
Care, compassion and comradery? Tick. Tick. Tick.
The M.A.C AIDS Fund is the heart and soul of M.A.C cosmetics and has been raising money for people around the world affected by HIV/AIDS since 1994. Year round sales of VIVA GLAM lipstick and lipglass that raise money for the cause, just isn’t enough for M.A.C. To mark the beginning of the holiday season they have released three exclusive gift items that will see 100 percent of proceeds donated.
If that isn’t enough, today, to commemorate World AIDS day, Australian M.A.C artists will join 1400 M.A.C employees world wide, volunteering their time in a global fight against AIDS.
