You can also show support by visiting your local MAC and purchasing a Viva Glam Lipstick or Lipglass. 100% of the selling price from each Viva Glam sold goes directly to the MAC AIDS fund which has raised over $248 million dollars to date. And you get a fabulous new lip color! Locally, the MAC PRO store is selling lipstick lanyards for any monetary donation you can give.
