Thirty-four years ago, L’Oreal Paris coined the phrase “Because I’m Worth It” to celebrate a woman’s worth and build her self-esteem. In 1997, L’Oreal Paris partnered with The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) to raise money and awareness to help the fight against ovarian cancer. Today, L’Oreal Paris and OCRF have established Women of Worth, a program and award that honors women who serve their communities. These Women of Worth are inspiring volunteers, outstanding achievers, and are all around beautiful women who are making a difference in their communities through literacy programs, organizing children’s initiatives, and founding life-saving charitable organizations.

If you know some one who you consider to be worthy of this prestigious honor, you can nominate her for the award on the L’Oreal Paris website. L’Oreal will make a $5,000 donation to her most cherished charitable cause as well as donate $5,000 in the name of each winner to support the OCRF. One Women of Worth Nominee and her cause will be selected by the public to be recognized and her charity will receive an additional donation of $25,000 in her name. Through these programs, L’Oreal has raised over $13 million on behalf of the OCRF to honor their commitment to women all over the world. So give your sister, mother, or friend the recognition that she deserves, and help raise money to fight Ovarian Cancer. Every woman is worth it.

Click HERE to nominate someone you love. MONDAY, JUNE 16TH IS THE LAST DAY NOMINEES WILL BE ACCEPTED.

If you LOVE flip-flops like I do, then this one’s for you.

Havaianas, the name behind the BEST of the BEST as far as comfy footwear is concerned, has teamed up with three famed makeup artists and Saks Fifth Avenue to create three different pairs of limited-edition flip-flops. Meet the Trish McEvoy, the Laura Mercier, and the Bobbi Brown:

Trish McEvoy wanted to bring to her sandal design the feeling of a walk on the beach—her favorite way to relax. “My colors this season brighten your complexion and call to mind the deep blues of the ocean, the pearlescent shades inside a seashell, and the glitter of the sand-taking you on an instant vacation.”

Laura Mercier decided to fill her canvas with kisses showcasing the new lipstick shades in her summer assortment, saying “A comfortable sandal should be as comfortable as wearing the lipstick on your lips.”

Bobbi Brown created a pair that reflects the spirit of summer- keeping it simple, enjoying every moment, and of course, and always looking fabulous in the process. “The beach is where I go to unwind with my family, so I keep things easy by wearing sunscreen, simple makeup and a fun pair of flip-flops.”

Available June 1st. 100% of proceeds go to charity:water - a non-profit initiative bringing clean water and basic sanitation into impoverished communities. If that isn’t reason enough; comfortable, charitable footwear, then… off to the next post you go!

Three cheers for Herbal Essences. With the state of our economy, you really can’t afford to pass this up!

Here’s the deal. Head over to your favorite store and pick up one of the following sets:

• Long Term Relationship (for long hair care)
• Hello Hydration (for moisture)
• Body Envy (for volumizing)
• Totally Twisted (for curls & waves)
• Color Me Happy (for color-treated hair)

Log on to HerbalEssences.com/ManiPedi, click on REDEEM, and simply follow the instructions to receive your free manicure & pedicure coupon! It’s that easy. Be patient, because it’ll take between 4 - 6 weeks to get to you, but once it does, all you have to do is figure out which salon you want to cash in at, and which nail color you’re into that week.

Confession. I’ve gotten three manicures in the past four days. Yup, you read that right.

Back to our regularly scheduled post. Don’t forget - you must buy BOTH. And they both must have the green ‘free manicure or pedicure’ decal.

Enjoy GLAMonistas!

Two lucky members of the human race are pulling out this blinged out L’Oréal Paris 2008 Red Carpet Compact to primp. I almost forgot to mention - it’s worth $4,900!

As L’Oréal Paris’ gift to Hollywood’s leading ladies at the Oscars, this version of the stunning glittering compact features 3 carats of diamonds, set in platinum on yellow gold, with a ruby clasp.  Not available to the general public, luckily these gold-and-diamond compacts were auctioned off on eBay to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). They both sold for just over $1,500 each.

Boy, oh boy do I remember coming up with creative ways to fund my college education! Hopefully it’ll be easer for you girls, starting now: Ambi skincare is offering a $10,000 scholarship to five lucky African American or Latina women studying medicine or science at a nationally accredited institution.

The AMBI® Scholarship in Science & Medicine was inspired by Karen Morris-Priester, M.D., the first grandmother to graduate from Yale University School of Medicine. Last spring, Karen’s academic achievements were celebrated on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” honoring her as Ambi’s first scholarship recipient. “This scholarship is wonderful because it offers invaluable financial support towards making the dream a reality,” says Karen Morris-Priester M.D.

I urge you to follow in Karen’s footsteps. You can apply through March 21, 2008; log onto www.ambiskincare.com to get started.

Loyal GlamBlush readers know how much I love to see celebrities getting involved with charity. Check this one out:

Sex & the City star Cynthia Nixon lent her hand to the American Red Cross earlier this month at the Time Warner Center in NYC. Cynthia’s handprint joined the handprints of many of today’s hottest celebrities such as Julianne Moore, Maggie Grace, and Sophia Bush on the Curél Skin Care Wall of Helping Hands. Major star power!

Running throughout the month of November, the celebrity handprints will be up for auction on eBay with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the American Red Cross. 100% - how amazing is that? Click HERE to see the complete list of available celebrity handprints, and click HERE to lend your hand… by bidding.

Or simply buy a tube of Curel’s Targeted Therapy Limited Edition Hand Cream - proceeds are going to the same wonderful cause.

It warms my heart to see celebrities using their fame for good. Check out these quick videos, and when you’re done, think long and hard about what you can do to help.
