Dior’s Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Tinsley Pink to Benefit Operation Smile

Tinsley Mortimer is the first Dior Beauty Ambassador to create and have a Dior color named for her. A portion of the proceeds from “Tinsley Pink” will go to benefit Operation Smile. The connection between the lip gloss and Operation Smile goes beyond the obvious concentration on lips. Tinsley Mortimer has been involved with Operation Smile for many years and serves as a New York City committee member for the organization. She is designing a limited-release sparkly bubblegum shade lip gloss for Dior that will be sold nation-wide exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue. For a period of six months, a donation of 5% or maximum of $10,000 will be made from the sales of Tinsley Pink to one of Tinsley’s favorite organizations. Operation Smile, a worldwide children’s medical charity (www.operationsmile.org).

This soft powder pink delivers a natural blush tone with a bit of reflection; perfect for anything from Sunday brunch to a big meeting at work. Featuring a high-shine, shimmering finish and multi-dimensional reflective pigments, this formula goes on smooth with a silky brush applicator and the sleek packaging fits into even the most demure evening bag.

Availability: May 2008 at Saks Fifth Avenue exclusive nationwide.

AriZona Beverage Company Donates Percentage of its Net Sales to Operation Smile

This summer, AriZona Beverage Company introduced its best-selling Lemon Tea, Green Tea and Sweet Tea in new packaging to raise awareness and funds for Operation Smile. AriZona is donating 5% of the net sales of these specially-packaged beverages to Operation Smile as part of a new national cause-related campaign.

“Operation Smile volunteers are reflective of the type of American ingenuity that can make a difference worldwide. To see a child smile for the first time after undergoing reconstructive surgery is inspiring,” noted Wesley Vultaggio, VP of Brand Development for AriZona Beverages. “When we heard that it costs just $240 to conduct one cleft lip surgery, and we looked at the popularity of our flagship products — we saw a synergy that can generate widespread awareness and funds for a great cause.”

The three participating AriZona teas feature the Operation Smile mission statement and images of children who have been helped by the organization and are available at Brooks, Cumberland Farms, Dierbergs, Dollar General, Dollar Tree, Eckerd, Ingles, JETRO, Jewel Food Stores, Ninety-Nine Cents Only, The Penn Traffic Company, Sheetz, Clinton’s Variety & Wholesale and Walgreens.
