Earth Month

This Earth Day, as a part of her Model Citizen campaign, Josie Maran is working with Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder to build an animal sanctuary. And of course there are special revamped products from her beauty line involved, too. Ian designed a limited-edition label for top sellers from Josie's collection, including Pure Argan Oil With Radiance ($48), Argan Oil Hair Serum With Radiance ($30), and the Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter With Radiance ($35).

In addition to the new packaging, the products have gotten a new Honey Chamomile Lavender scent. Ten percent of each product purchase will go to the Ian Somerhalder Foundation to help shelter abused animals. Oh, and there is an adorable campaign image of Ian cuddling puppies. Swoon!

Earth Month is an annual celebration every April, when eco-conscious citizens around the globe help other earthlings reduce their carbon footprint and put an end to "environmental apathy." NASA is celebrating this month's green awareness with a video showcasing what we're trying to save — the Earth.

"NASA Science Eyes" is the name of the video, and rightly so — the footage was taken by astronauts on the International Space Station orbiting the globe. NASA's scientists are working on a daily basis to better understand how our planet really works and how we can protect it.

You can participate in the official Earth Day — April 22 — by adhering to eco-friendly tech tips, cutting down on electricity, planning a green wedding, and more! Let us know what you'll be doing to protect the environment throughout the month.

This Sunday, April 22, is Earth Day and beauty companies are getting in the spirit to do good and go green. Already, brands like Josie Maran and Kiehl's are adopting a charitable attitude with their eco-inspired programs. But below you can find discounts for this weekend that will save you money, and go to a worthy cause. Get the codes when you read more.

In honor of Earth Month, Josie Maran (pictured left) is rereleasing her eponymous brand's cult favorite argan oil with an added charitable element. The beauty entrepreneur even recruited some of her model pals, Petra Nemcova (pictured right) and Angela Lindvall, to design the limited-edition bottles ($52 each) for the line's Model Citizen campaign. Available at Sephora, through QVC, or on Josie's site from now to mid-Summer, 10 percent of the profits from the sale of the oils will benefit the Happy Hearts Fund (through Petra's design), Healthy Child Healthy World (through Angela), and Women For Women International (through Josie).

Additionally, Josie and Petra are sharing their tips for going "chicological" (that's chic, high-performing, and ecological) with us. For starters, "I think using kinder, gentler, healthier ingredients overall — especially if you're wearing makeup every day — makes a huge impact on the beauty of your skin," explains Josie.
