L’Oreal’s Women of Worth Holiday Box Gives Back in the Most Touching Way

‘Tis (almost) the season for gifting, which typically means opening up our wallets and scouring gift guides for the best beauty loot of the season. While a fun undertaking (no shame if you’re picking up a few goodies for yourself, too), picking up killer gifts for everyone on your list can wreck havoc on your budget. So naturally, we’re excited about L’Oreal’s Women of Worth Holiday Box, which will not only save you some serious cash but also make you feel good about the dough you are spending.

Let's first start with a quick refresher on the Woman of Worth initiative from L'Oreal. For the past ten years, L'Oreal has honored women across the country who are making an impact through volunteer work in their communities. Women go online to apply, and then a group of judges selects a final squad of ten honorees. These are not women who have volunteered one Saturday at Habitat for Humanity (although that's an awesome way to spend a weekend). These are women who have shaped their lives in service of causes that are bigger than themselves. This year, there's Sandra Gunn, whose organization Leslie's Week donates vacation homes for one week every year to a family whose mother is diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. And there's also Nadya Okamoto (who we've written about!) who, after being homeless herself, organized Camions of Care to distribute feminine hygiene products to the homeless community. And that's just two of the inspiring nominees; you can read more about each and every one here. Each winner is granted $10,000 to benefit their individual causes, as well as a platform to raise awareness. Well, until this year. This year, thanks to the sales generated by L’Oreal’s Women of Worth Holiday Box, each woman will receive an additional $5,000.

It's not going to be hard to convince you that investing in the box is as good for your beauty routine as it is for your conscience. L’Oreal’s Women of Worth Holiday Box has four of the brand’s best products—the Colour Riche La Palette Lip in Nude, Voluminous Primer Mascara, Colour Riche Pocket Palette in French Bisque, and —packaged in a sleek black box and offered together with a wallet-friendly discount of $25. (According to our calculations, it has an actual retail value of more than $35.) In short, it’s either the ultimate score for your favorite altruistic beauty junkie bestie, or the answer to all your holiday beauty look prayers.
