Beauty with a PurposeTM For every product purchased, one is donated to a woman going through cancer treatment.
Not too often do you hear about a company doing good deeds for others. I was blown away to hear about Thrive Causemetics, they are so passionate about their brand. Karissa Bodnar, Founder + CEO began her career as a Makeup Artist and then further developing her career she worked in product development for larger brands. After losing her close friend Kristy to cancer at only 23, she started Thrive Causemetics as a mission to positively impact the lives of women with cancer through the gift of beauty products. Thrive Causemetics is Beauty with a Purpose: for every product purchased, one is donated to a woman going through cancer treatment.
In preparation for New York Fashion Week, Thrive was hosting their own event and making a wonderful product contribution to NY area hospitals valued at over $25,000. This is such a great way to empower those who aren’t feeling their best.
All of those in attendance were asked to contribute a note of encouragement to Thrive’s giving tree. This would accompany their donation later that evening. What a great idea to give some words of wisdom to those who might need it most.
Here I am with Founder of Thrive Causemetics Karissa Bodnar
While in attendance for the preview to the evening show, we given the inside scoop on how to make our own makeup remover. It can be hard to find a product that actually works and is anti-aging. It was exciting to mix our own concoction of anti-oxidants as well. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Shake up the provided ingredients and your makeup for the day will be gone in no time and your skin will be left refreshed and looking good. 
Since I am not getting any younger I focused my makeup remover to be more on the anti-aging side. With a little help from Karissa and team everyone had come up with a customized bottle of beauty. 
Here is a small sampling of the great products that Thrive Causemetics has to offer and also a sneak peek of what will be arriving this April 2016.

This sounds like a great business model. Love the idea of a product women buy anyway directly supporting women close to home who could really use the emotional support.
I love the makeup and think that this is such a good way to help a cause for Women. I think it is neat that you got to create your own makeup remover that is antiaging. I would love to try out this makeup!
This looks like such a fresh and beautiful cosmetics line! I love purchasing products too that help those in need!

What an amazing company..May God Bless each and everyone involved. I will definately be spreading the word about you.
This is such a great cause to support!
This is so important. My husband went through surgery chemo and radiation. Being a man, it wasnt like he wasnt affected because of the change, but women feel ‘deeper’ I was so glad to see that the ladies going through breast cancer radiation were given creams and lotions. They were all beautiful.
What a great way to help women in need and get yourself something too!
