Singer and entertainer Fergie has been touting some of her causes recently, as she was recently in Los Angeles to promote her recently-launched ‘Viva Glam’ lipstick for MAC Cosmetics to benefit the MAC AIDS fund.
While also in LA, Fergie attended a Project Angel Food event, which provides meals for the needy. There, she listened to those who received the meals and heard how this generosity helped them when they really needed it.
Included are a number of photos of Fergie wearing her new lipstick line.
