17 Ways to Shop With Purpose on International Women’s Day 2018

Celebrating and empowering women should absolutely not be restricted to one day, but having an extra special day to rejoice for all womankind and spread awareness is pretty great. In honor of International Women's Day on March 8, we want to share a handful of beauty and lifestyle brands that are using their influence to launch powerful initiatives that support women. There are also quite a few brands with female founders that are equally worth supporting. We've compiled several of the amazing brands that are giving back to charities today.

• QVC: This year, QVC is partnering with Nest, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering women, to celebrate International Women's Day in a big way.
