Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

When I first posted about companies that were reaching out to help Haiti, mostly it was disaster relief organizations. Now that the fashion and beauty industry has time to react and I’m pleased to see that many of my favorites are stepping up. Check out some of the ways you can shop AND help!

“Shop for a cause to help provide relief to Haiti. We’re extending our donation of 10% of every Nubian Heritage sale to the American Red Cross for Haiti Relief through the end of February, to continue to help those who desperately need it.

To sweeten the pot, we’re offering sales on many of our most popular items, including:

- Aromatic Room Diffusers: $15 (regularly $25)
- Body Scrubs $12 (regularly $22)
- Gift Set of 13 oz. Lotion and Body Wash $16 (regularly $24)
- NH Man products including: Body Wash ($7), Three Butters Moisturizing Lotion ($7), Shave Oil ($6) and Essential Oil ($8)
- Shea Butter & Soy Massage Candles: $9 (regularly $22)
- Lip Balms ($3)”

I previously reviewed Nubian Heritage products and recommend them highly. The quality, scent, and results are all right on point.

“In an effort to lend support to the victims of the Haiti earthquake, Alex and Ani, designer of couture and contemporary jewelry, has created the “Cornelian Bracelet” featuring its patented, expandable wire bangle™ with 100% of proceeds donated to Doctors without Borders.

The Alex and Ani Signature Expandable bracelet is an innovative wire bangle bracelet that adjusts and expands for a customized fit on any wrist. This exclusive piece features Russian or yellow gold finish plated over a brass etched wire and is adorned with a Cornelian stone. Wear Cornelian to increase energy, self motivate and take action. This stone is also a symbol of protection and peace.”

“In its first two days alone, the oh-so-inviting Craft Hope for Haiti Etsy shop made over $7000 for Doctors Without Borders – and it’s no wonder. All of its one-of-a-kind items have been lovingly handcrafted and donated by talented and big-hearted artists and crafters who want to help the people of Haiti.

You would swoon over the beautiful jewelry, cushy knits and irresistible artwork at any time, but the fact that 100% of proceeds go directly to charity now gives you a reason to give in to your cravings. Donations keep pouring in so bookmark the site and check back often.

This is a great time to stock up on gifts but if you like something, make sure to buy it immediately – each item is unique, and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. (Like the adorable Tom Selleck pillow that even those behind the scenes had their eye on.)

Founded by Texas mother of three Jade Sims, Craft Hope is a full-time labor of love “spreading seeds of hope one stitch at a time.” Check out the projects Craft Hope is working on, and learn how you can get involved. Even if you don’t know how to make something, you can still make something happen.”

“For every online purchase at www.talika.com between February 1, 2010 and April 30, 2010, $1.00 will be donated to Doctors Without Borders to aid in Haiti’s Disaster Relief.”

Talika makes a wide selection of beauty products, including the eyebrow lipocils and bust cream I’ve been reviewing. I highly recommend the brand.

“P&G’s product, cash, and employee and retiree contributions to Haiti now total over $1.8 million.

P&G product donations total more than $1 million and include bar soaps, batteries, bleach, diapers, dish detergents, feminine hygiene products, laundry detergents, paper towels, shampoos, toilet tissue, tooth brushes, toothpaste, and wipes.

Additionally, P&G will distribute 6 million packets of PUR, a technology that purifies contaminated water. This quantity is enough to treat 60 million liters of water…a 3 month supply for 340,000 people.”

As far as I know, P&G is not offering specific items that will benefit Haiti in their sales. However, with all the donations the company is making, you can feel good about buying their products!
