This Labor Day support American Small Business

In 2018 it is more important than ever to vote with your money. Choosing where your dollar goes is an incredible power when you think about it. Being aware of what companies you support and who that company supports with your money should be a matter of importance to everyone. SO this American holiday weekend take a moment to support small business' that are trying to make a different and inspire social change. When a celebrity endorses a product the public rushes to buy it, yet a small business is rarely considered in comparison. Small business' need your support to function and those who're making social change deserve a platform that can be seen.
My own make-up line ADVEKET  www.adveketcosmetics.com was created with the sole purpose to help fund the work of equality nonprofit I Wore Lipstick www.iworelipstick.org by donating $1 per every item sold to the charity.
Another wonderful philanthropic cosmetic brand is owned by my long time friends Azra and Amra who founded Terra & Co www.terraandco.com donate a tube of their charcoal toothpaste to the Downtown Women's Center https://www.downtownwomenscenter.org
Both of these business' were created to help inspire social change and give back to the community. In 2018 it is your responsibility to know where your dollar goes and your duty as Americans to support small business whenever possible.

Makeup artist Justin Tyme launches cosmetics line with a mission to bring awareness to equality issues

Makeup artist Justin Tyme, who’s celebrity clients include Madelaine Petsch, Lisa Edelstein and Lori Loughlin, is excited to unveil his new makeup line ADVEKET. Launching with Gender Fluid Lipstick and liners, the line is designed to utilize makeup in an effort to increase awareness and acceptance of the diversity of lipstick wearers. “Beauty knows no gender or race; it can be found in every face at any age. All beauty is equal and deserves to be celebrated,” shares Justin. “When you look at the beauty industry, it is primarily geared towards high-femme glamour. This lipstick line is meant to break free from the stereotypical beauty portrayals. Anyone who wants to wear lipstick can and should.”

One dollar from the sale of every ADVEKET product will be donated directly to the foundation. “When you look at how diverse the lipstick community is, you can see that a large portion deserve advocation and representation in the beauty industry.” adds Tyme.
