She's all about charity angles right now! First, Kylie Jenner created her pastel pink Smile Lip Kit. All of the proceeds of that mega matte liquid lippie are donated to Smile Train, an organization that supports cleft surgeries for children globally. Now, Jenner has teamed up with DIFF Eyewear, a sunglasses brand that donates reading glasses to those in need with every pair of shades sold. Jenner's partnership with DIFF is special. For every pair of DIFF sunnies sold in a 24-hour period, the brand is donating two pairs of reading frames. DIFF is also offering a Kylie Jenner-specific, 25 percent off discount in that time frame. So, it's double the donation and a deal! This promo is a passive way for you to do good, all the while getting a pair of bomb shades at a total steal. How do you take advantage of this short-term discount?
It's so insanely easy. Go to the DIFF site, pick out your shades, enter the KINGKYLIE code at checkout, and boom! You're dunzo. You just helped to provide glasses to those who desperately need them. Go ahead and enjoy that warm 'n' fuzzy feeling.
Jenner posted an Instagram snap while wearing a pair of DIFF's pink, mirrored aviators, along with her rose gold hair in a high pony and a black tube top. She also detailed the discount terms.
All of the intel is there. Head over to the DIFF site to make a difference for someone you don't even know, all the while treating yourself to a new accessory below full price.
These are the frames that Jenner rocked on Instagram. The discount started on Monday, Oct. 17, and expires on Tuesday, Oct. 18. Don't delay, since time is ticking. Take advantage of the sweet savings while the discount is active and help two people obtain a pair of reading glasses, which are an often inaccessible luxury in other parts of the world.

The ‘Coke Studio’ percussionist being trolled for his sunglasses
Coke Studio 9 has not got people talking about the likes of Momina Mustehsan alone. Even the house band members are enjoying their share of attention and percussionist Abdul Aziz Kazi is one of them.
Poking fun at his jovial nature and choice of sunglasses, several internet memes have declared Kazi as visually challenged. Talking to The Express Tribune, he explained himself. “Yes I saw the memes. They are quite funny. Actually my eyes are a little sensitive and the strobe lights on the set were making it difficult to see what others were playing, so I wore shades,” he said.
An O Level student at Army Public School in Karachi, he developed a liking for drums. Guitar maestro Faraz Anwar once said a lot of good drummers in our society turn into guitar players because the neighbours and even their own family members cannot stand the sharp sound of the snare or the thumping of the bass drum.
Within a few years he was in college, surrounded my classmates who were themselves budding musicians like him. “I was a student of media sciences at SZABIST. My friends and I started playing cover gigs and then we got into blues. Our band was called Spoonful. We had quite a following,” he said.

Change your sunglasses every TWO years
Sunglasses should be replaced at least every two years, scientists warned today
Rays from the sun damage lenses over time - meaning they gradually let more UV light through and provide less protection.
Without adequate UV filters, the eye is exposed - and the damage can cause long-term, irreversible harm to vision.
Brazilian researchers have now called for standards that test the quality of sunglasses to be revised, so that safe limits for the filters can be established.
They say a new test would guarantee sunglasses were safe to wear for a period of two years.
Exposure to sunlight varies across the world, but tropical countries have the highest amounts as UV levels are extremely high in summer and remain high in the winter.
Therefore, sunglasses worn in the southern hemisphere may need replacing more often than in those worn in the northern half.
Lenses may also break more easily a result of consistent exposure to sunlight, experts say.
And wearing sunglasses which don't offer proper protection can cause oedema - distorted vision from a swollen eye.

Meet Coco and Breezy, the Designers Behind Demi Lovato's Favorite Sunglasses Brand
Twin sisters Coco and Breezy Dotson are known as street style stars, eyewear designers, dancers, and DJs — and that’s just the beginning. The Dotson girls have captivated the world with their one-of-a-kind style and unique vision. Now, at 26 years old, the sisters are lauded for their genuine personalities, great energy, and, of course, impeccable fashion sense.
Although they began designing their own eyewear when they were 16, it didn’t just start as a cute way to accessorize – it was their way of surviving. “Growing up in Minnesota, we lived in the suburbs where a lot of people thought we were weird, or we really stood out. Some people would stare at us or laugh at us, and we did get bullied. So, we always wore sunglasses to block our eyes to avoid making eye contact from the people who didn’t understand us. It gave us this level of confidence we never had,” Breezy says.
Prince isn’t the only one to take notice though of their talent. Foot Locker’s new athleisure store SIX:02 tapped the girls to design an exclusive line of eyewear, which came out this summer. “They’re so fashion-forward and they are at a low price point, but still such great quality because they are hand-made,” Breezy says.
They’re also stepping even further outside the box, designing eyewear inspired by Twizzlers and Jolly Ranchers for Hershey’s. That collection debuted in July. “That’s what our brand stands for: breaking the rules, we create our own rules, and doing these things with Hershey’s and Foot Locker really shows that about us.”

Anna Sui's New York Fashion Week show features P.E.I.-made sunglasses
Made-in-P.E.I. sunglasses hit New York Fashion Week Wednesday night at Anna Sui's show for her fall 2016 collection.

The glasses were designed by Sui in partnership with eyewear company Mondottica, and the sample run of 16 sunglasses was made in Guernsey Cove, P.E.I., by Fellow Earthlings sunglasses.
"It's been amazing," said co-owner Sydney Seggie. "[Sui] is a true designer, full of great ideas, and always setting us off in interesting directions."
The glasses from last night's show are round and encrusted with stones, with hearts or stars on the sides.
This isn't Seggie's first partnership with Sui. Fellow Earthlings has made the sunglasses for six of Sui's shows over the past five years.
"In the past we've done some pretty fun ones like ski masks and other really interesting products," she said.
The P.E.I.-made sunglasses have also been produced for other fashion designers, from as far away as Hong Kong and Finland — as well as other partners in Canada.
Seggie said Fellow Earthlings is able to operate as the producer for samples and small runs — of up to about 100 pairs of glasses — offering designers an alternative to factories.
"We like to do quality versus quantity," she said. "We definitely like to work on custom and sampling … we're happy to be able to do it here on the Island."
