Revlon supports Cancer.vive

Revlon is one of the key sponsors of the Cancer.vive project and they have created two looks inspired by the Cancer.vive bike ride that is taking place at this moment (see my post on this HERE).

This make-look was created by Revlon SA make-up artist Vuyo Varoyi. Doesn’t Revlon South Africa Brand Ambassador Bonang Matheba look gorgeous?!

I received the products used to create this look and was kinda wondering why all the purple… this is what Vuyo had to say about his colour choice: ‘In colour psychology purple represents power, creativity, wisdom, peace and magic. It has an uplifting effect on the spirit and it is also associated with vitality and feminine energy.’ Of course, the Pantone colour of the year is Radiant Orchid, a beautiful fuchsia purple, chosen to express joy, love and health – just perfect to embody the spirit of Cancer.vive. ‘Finally,’ he continues, ‘this great look works on all skin tones, from fair to dark.’ I have never used purple on my eyes before, but after reading that, I am Inspired to try.

Nail artist Chi Chi created this fun look also inspired by the Cancer.vive bike ride.

Cancer.vive – bringing a message of hope and inspiration

final-logo-high-res1-1024x679

Cancer.vive is the dynamic awareness and education project of People Living with Cancer (PLWC) – an organisation of people, privileged to have survived cancer and who collaboratively strive to change the face of Cancer in SA.

Cancer.vive believes that knowledge is power and this project aims to create awareness in order to educate and empower South Africans to recognise the symptoms and to seek the appropriate treatment. Cancer.vive also focuses on the so-called ‘shy’ cancers – those that people struggle to talk about freely and often go undetected because of fear, stigmas, cultural taboos and lack of knowledge.

The main event of this campaign is already underway…

RIDING FOR OUR LIVES: CANCER.VIVE RIDE 2014

On 26 September 2014 at 12.30pm, an epic 10-day journey kickstarts at Pretoria Girls’ High School in Tshwane, returning to Gauteng on 5 October after riding more than 2 300km through Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal and the Free State. This is no ordinary joyride; these are motorcyclists with a mission: over 50 cancer survivors, supporters, crew and media will be flying the Cancer.vive flag to bring education and a message of hope and inspiration to over 10 000 people – they are living proof that cancer can be beaten.

 

You can help this amazing cause:

You may pledge a donation by simply SMSing the name of any survivor to 42356. The SMS will cost you just R30. (If you don’t know a survivor, you may SMS your own name).

Follow the ride, help raise awareness and send messages of encouragement to the riders and people living with cancer on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram or visit Cancer.vive to learn more.
