Shop for makeup, skincare, fragrance and more and support a beautiful cause
By Carla Snuggs

On Wednesday, April 15 at 10 PM (ET) QVC and Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) are joining forces for the third consecutive year for a two-hour live broadcast, “QVC and CEW Present Beauty with Benefits,” to prove that a little makeup can make a big difference.  

 Beauty lovers can shop a wide range of products including color cosmetics, fragrance, skin care and hair care from prestige beauty brands like Laura Mercier, Clinique, Laura Geller, Shiseido, Josie Maran, philosophy and more. 80 percent of the purchase price of donated merchandise will benefit Cancer and Careers, a charitable program of the CEW Foundation that is dedicated to the empowerment of people living and working with cancer. As an added bonus, each shopper will receive a gift with purchase which features five deluxe samples from participating brands in a Sonia Kashuk-designed cosmetic bag created especially for “Beauty with Benefits.”

This year, to help raise awareness for the broadcast, longtime friends model and entrepreneur Cindy Crawford and makeup artist and entrepreneur Sonia Kashuk appear in both the print and broadcast Public Service Announcements.
