International Women's Day is all about celebrating the strong women surrounding us and those that came before us. While there are tons of different ways to celebrate the holiday, one foolproof way is to support organizations that are here to help women. There are fashion and beauty items that donate all proceeds to charity for International Women's Day, so you can look good and feel great about giving back.

What you buy has the power to change lives. Not just the items, but the people who make it, company that creates it, and beyond. These brands are stretching their dollar even further by adding charities into the mix. With each purchase of these fashion and beauty items, all of the proceeds will go to charity.

Giving a monetary donation is good, but getting a little reward for doing so is also pretty great. Whether you're looking to stock up on beauty items, fashion finds, or just give a little back, these brands are giving in a big way. Not to mention that you'll be spreading a little girl power every single time you wear or use the item.
