The holidays- it’s all about the kids, right? When it comes to creativity, kids seem to have a natural gift. MAC’s 2012 Collection of Kids Helping Kids Greeting Cards and Gift Cards send a whimsical, colourful holiday message. And the fact that they’re all created by children affected by HIV/AIDS makes them even more special. Greeting Cards and Gift Cards, with envelopes. All proceeds go to the MAC Aids Fund.

MAC is again doing admirable charity work by donating the proceeds from its Kids Helping Kids Collection to the MAC AIDS Fund. Keep reading to see some of the cards made by children affected by HIV/AIDS and for details on the sets available this holiday season.

Where three dimension ends, Extreme Dimension begins, and lashes take on superb scale, structure and sweep. Modern mascara innovation is delivered in M·A·C’s lightweight whipped formula that saturates from root to tip, enhancing volume, creating curl and extending length, while conditioning for softness and flexibility. Results in highly defined lashes that are clump-resistant, non-flaking and non-smudging. The deep shade of Black Extreme amps up the intensity.
