Bobbi Brown's Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge Campaign.

Just in time to celebrate International Women's Month, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is launching the Pretty Powerful Campaign for Women and Girls.
 
Starting today, this worldwide movement is dedicated to empowering women and girls with education, resources, job skills and work experience and will aim to help them “be who they are.”  The campaign will raise funds through the sale of a limited-edition Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge ($25) and via GlobalGiving.org.  In the U.S., every cent of the proceeds from sales of the Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge will go to Dress for Success, which Bobbi has worked with for years.

 In Bobbi’s words

“makeup alone cannot even the playing field for women and girls across the world, but I believe that together, those who create, apply, buy and wear makeup can.” 

Purchase the Pretty Powerful Pot Rouge online at bobbibrowncosmetics.com. The color is designed to work on everyone.

Here is Bobbi with a bit about the campaign and the Pot Rouge.

This is Bobbi Brown Cosmetics’ first-ever global charitable initiative.

Lea Michele is the Newest Face of L'Oréal Paris.

L’Oréal Paris is pleased to announce award-winning actress Lea Michele as the brand’s newest ambassador.  
 
Today, Lea joins the L’Oréal Paris Spokespersons family, including Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé Knowles, Julianna Margulies, Eva Longoria, Andie MacDowell, Freida Pinto and Aimée Mullins, among others. Lea will debut in TV and print advertising campaigns for the leading global beauty brand beginning in the United States in early 2013.

Lea is perhaps best known for her role in the critically-acclaimed, Fox TV television series Glee, which returned this month for its fourth season. Throughout her role as Rachel, Lea has received a People’s Choice Award, a Teen Choice Award and a Screen Actors Guild Award. She has also been honored with an Emmy Award nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.
 
“Growing up on stage, I was introduced to makeup at a young age and I will never forget the first time I tried on a L’Oréal Paris iconic lipstick –it was instant glamour and I’ve been hooked ever since!  I’ve been a fan of L’Oréal Paris’ products for years, but it wasn’t until I was a bit older that I fully understood the brand’s message of a woman’s worth, which I wholeheartedly agree with. L’Oréal Paris encourages women to embrace their beauty and celebrate their self worth.  I feel very honored to be working with L’Oréal Paris to help spread that message to young women,” says Lea Michele.
 
“I am thrilled that Lea joins our roster of amazing spokespersons.  In just a few years, her incredible talent has made her one of the most popular young actresses in a TV series. Lea is committed, genuine, fun with an inspiring sense of style, in total resonance with the brand’s values,” says Cyril Chapuy, L’Oréal Paris Global Brand President.
 
“Lea is undeniably one of the most gifted and accomplished women of her generation and a role model to young women everywhere. We are so honored to welcome her as a member of the L’Oréal Paris family.  A beautiful woman inside and out, Lea truly exemplifies our brand philosophy ‘Because You’re Worth It,’” says Karen T. Fondu, President of L'Oréal Paris USA.
