Giving Partner - Raquel Chariah

Self-Esteem Rising is a program of the Hance Family Foundation that fosters the development of self-esteem, self-worth, positive self-talk, accurate self-perception and improved body image & social relationships. The Hance Family Foundation was created from Warren and Jackie Hance's love for their daughters Emma, Alyson and Katie. They have channeled their traumatic grief and loss into sharing their foundation’s mission and original self-esteem programs because their girls lived with enthusiastic confidence.

Self Esteem Rising first became a Thrive Causemetics® Giving Partner back in 2019. With YOUR support, we have sent over 20,000 Thrive Causemetics® products valued at more than $500,000 to Self Esteem Rising and the Hance Family Foundation to help build self-confidence in women and girls! To learn more about Self Esteem Rising, you can visit their website and Instagram page.

    @Lyssa – We’re so excited you asked this! Our Brilliant Eye Brightener was designed with a built-in sharpener! Just pull out the bottom piece to expose your sharpener. We recommend holding your product upright and twisting out only enough product to fit inside the sharpener. Then, delicately twist the sharpener around the tip of the Brilliant Eye Brightener. This will restore the precise tip to your shade!

    A friend recommended your mascara because I asked her about false eyelashes since she is a beautician. She suggested I try your mascara first, because she said it is really good and makes her lashes look great and I agreed.
    So I ordered your mascara and it really does make a difference. And when I used some make up remover, it took all the mascara off…. I was so happy! The other mascaras I have used never come off that easy and mess up my pillow cases. Thank you!!

    I’m a victim of abuse for 17 years. I finally got the courage to leave. My self esteem is so broken. But this doesn’t define me. Thank you for your story. It’s helped me so much.

    I love what’s behind your giving plan. I am involved with a nonprofit in my local area, called Maria‘s closet. We empower young ladies in our area by holding an annual event where we give them a brand new prom dress, accessories, make up, as well as a lesson in applying make up.
