Arica Carpenter was taught at a very early age that giving back was necessary in order to move forward. As she began her career in beauty, she was lucky enough to be mentored by an industry icon who reinforced that philosophy time and time again.
Now working as brand manager at Cuccio Colour, Carpenter remains true to her core values by remembering her mentor’s teachings nearly a decade ago. She recently made charitable donations of Cuccio Colour polishes to the Alliance for Children, a non-profit that helps benefit abused children, and the Beauty Bus Foundation, a national non-profit that provides free beauty and grooming services as well as pampering products to terminally or chronically ill people and their caregivers.
“The important thing to remember about giving back is that it doesn’t always have to be in a monetary form,” explained Carpenter. “Donating polish to these organizations was a way for me to make a difference because at the end of the day, even the smallest selfless act can have a significant impact on those in unfortunate circumstances.”
Carpenter donated polish for the Let’s Play Bingo event, an annual fundraiser. The polish she donated to the Beauty Bus Foundation will be distributed in its Bags of Beauty as well as used on patient visits.
