QVC and Cosmetic Executive Women Support Cancer and Careers Through Charitable Beauty Initiative

WEST CHESTER, Pa., April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Two influential forces in the beauty industry are coming together once again to prove that a little makeup can make a big difference. "QVC and CEW Present Beauty with Benefits" is scheduled to air on QVC Thursday, April 17 at 8 PM (ET).

The two-hour event will allow viewers a special opportunity to support a great cause through a multiplatform shopping experience. A wide range of products including color cosmetics, fragrance, skin care and hair care will be available from brands such as Fresh, Josie Maran, Laura Geller, Mally Beauty, StriVectin, WEN by Chaz Dean, and more. As an added bonus, shoppers will receive a gift with purchase which includes products from participating brands in a Sonia Kashuk-designed cosmetic bag.

"Beauty with Benefits is a powerful demonstration of the ongoing relationship between CEW and QVC," said Claire Watts, CEO, QVC, U.S. "This initiative aligns with our charitable mission to support the success and wellness of women through the power of relationships. By working with CEW and their strong network, we aim to bring the beauty industry together to build more awareness and support for Cancer and Careers."

Throughout the evening, viewers will be informed of the impact each purchase can make in the lives of individuals affected by cancer.
