The Sephora Project


The Sephora Project Tote
What it is:
A beauty-full bag that gives back.


What it does:
Wear your heart on your sleeve...and now, on your bag too. The Sephora Project Tote is a pretty purchase with a purpose. Sephora is proud of The Sephora Project, a initiative created to educate and empower women and girls whose mission, like Sephora's, is to make the world a more beauty-full place. When you purchase The Sephora Project Tote Bag ($12), six dollars from each bag will be donated to Girls For A Change, a national organization that empowers girls to create social change. That's not the only way this fashion with a passion shows its love—this Tote-ally good-hearted bag is made from recycled bottles that have been crushed and spun into fibers. Snag the Sephora Project Tote and let the benevolence begin! It is available at all Sephora stores, by calling 1-877-SEPHORA, or by logging on to Sephora.com.
