NARS is now offering the Safest Set that not only comes with The Multiple in Orgasm for cheeks, eyes, and lips…it also comes with two condoms in slick packaging. And just in case you need it, it features a little Black Book of ways to say “no” to let a hornball down if he doesn’t get the message. Not will it only help you stay disease-free or celibate… or even, dare I say it, remain a virgin…it’s for a great cause. A portion of the proceeds benefit Amfar programs to promote global safe sex education initiatives. Not only can you help yourself and your friends, you can help save the world.

I live in a city (DC) that has an HIV infection rate of 1 in 20…and I know a few people in my circle that have contracted the virus and they are under the age of 30…so protect yourselves, ladies…

And just in case you didn’t know, here are the US statistics on the number of people afflicted with AIDS courtesy of www.avert.org:

People living with AIDS

At the end of 2006, the CDC estimates that 448,871 people were living with AIDS in America. This number includes all people who have ever been diagnosed with an AIDS-defining condition and are believed to be alive, including many people who have recovered their health by taking antiretroviral therapy. The chart below shows the ethnicities of these people, revealing that black Americans have been disproportionately affected.

If not for yourself, give this gift of beauty love to your best buds and help them keep it safe…or locked down… let them choose! You can find it here at Sephora.

Keep it strictly stylish!
