Even the most makeup-obsessed girls realize that there's more to beauty than outward appearance. At the same time, we just can't bear to part with our favorite cosmetics, and why should we have to? With the release of Benefit's Big Magic 2 Lip Gloss ($14), you can continue to enjoy all the perks of external fabulousness while giving back to a worthy cause. The new gloss comes on the heels of last year's original Big Magic, a soft mauve glaze that raised more than $80,000 for Big Brothers, Big Sisters, the nation's leading youth mentoring program. Now, Benefit is doubling its 2005 dedication with a stunning sister shade. Like its predecessor, the pink gloss glides on supersmooth; boasts a light, fruity scent; feels wonderfully weightless; and imparts a subtle sheen. Best of all, it will become a permanent brand fixture, with all proceeds donated to Big Brothers, Big Sisters. Although Big Magic 2 is not available in stores yet, it can be ordered at Sephora.com and is scheduled to hit counters in August. --Terra Cooney
