Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are taking charity to heart, working with worthy causes across the globe to make a difference.

With the following charitable finds, you can be a savvy and socially responsible shopper all at the same time.  Here are some of the latest celebrity endorsed products that really give back!

Skechers Shoes & Soles4Souls

Skechers and Soles4Souls have teamed up to collect shoes for people in need around the world.  Celebs like Zach Braff and Donald Faison are spokespeople for the charity organization, while stars like Jessica Alba and Kim Kardashian support the mission as well.

With more than 300 million children around the world without shoes, Skechers and Soles4Souls are making a difference, one pair at a time.  For every pair of Skechers BOBS Shoes sold (starting at $34.95 on DSW.com), Skechers will donate two pairs of shoes to those in need.

BOBS stands for Skechers’ charitable mission, Benefitting Others By Shoes.  The festive shoes come in an array of colors, fabrics, and styles, and are a fashionable way to support a worthy cause!

MAC Cosmetics & MAC Aids Fund

MAC Cosmetics launched their Viva Glam lipstick collection in 2004, to support the many men, women and children living with and affected by HIV and AIDS around the world.  As the official “Viva Glam Goddess,” Lady Gaga recently launched her own signature shade, a very wearable warm beige color that complements every skin tone.

All of the proceeds from the sale of Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick ($14.50, MACCosmetics.com) goes to the MAC Aids Fund, which supports innovative programs to help those affected by HIV and AIDS.  The money collected from one tube of Viva Glam lipstick can be used for 37 deliveries of dietetically sound meals, or even supply one woman a month’s worth of public transport to take her to and from doctor’s appointments.  Embrace your inner Gaga and look fierce while giving back!

Philosophy & Joyful Heart Foundation

Emmy award winning actress Mariska Hargitay is known for playing Detective Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, a woman who specializes in investigating sexually based crimes.  Through her work on the show, and the countless appreciation letters from sexual abuse victims all over the world, Mariska founded the Joyful Heart Foundation in 2004.

The foundation has teamed up with skincare brand Philosophy, on the special edition Joyful Heart Shampoo/Shower Gel ($24, Philosophy.com).  The delicate shampoo/shower gel/bubble bath has a soft peony scent, a soft combination of fresh, feminine, floral notes.

100% of the proceeds go towards healing survivors of sexual and domestic abuse, and helping them to reclaim their lives.  Bring some joy to others hearts while pampering yourself with this light and refreshing shampoo!

Although we usually see him in scrubs, actor Donald Faison was spotted in jeans getting his shop on at the Beverly Center last week.

Beverly Center. 8500 Beverly Blvd. Los Angeles, CA. 90048

Despite the gawkers and people staring outside of Coffee Bean, Faison kept his cool as he exited Bloomingdale’s and casually waved to fans as he strolled through the rest of the mall.

Although Los Angeles is chock-full of popular shopping destinations, The Beverly Center is LA’s consummate indoor shopping mall. Complete with everything from high end designer boutiques like Gucci and Burberry to massive department stores like Macy’s, The Beverly Center is a centrally-located collection of clothing stores, restaurants and home furnishings.
