As a lover of all things pink, I always enjoy seeing the world decorated in my favorite color for the month of October—Breast Cancer Awareness month. The month of pink has arrived and this is it, my pink pals, your chance to shop for a cause has come.
So many beauty brands offer special promotions during the month of October and donate part of the proceeds from products to breast cancer awareness charities. I’ve compiled a short list of some brands/products you’ll want to check out this month. And remember, since part of your hard-earned money will be going to charity, you shouldn’t feel guilty indulging a little. After all, charity is always in fashion, ladies!
Sephora’s collection of pink ribbon products features brands that will donate a portion of the proceeds to organizations helping to raise awareness and find a cure for breast cancer. With brands like Clinique, philosophy and DKNY, you’ll want to check out these festive pink products. I know I’ve got my eye on this adorable Sephora Collection compact mirror.
Three Custom Color Specialists created a special Be Bright Pink Lip Gloss to support Bright Pink, a national nonprofit organization that educates and supports young women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Three Custom Color Specialists will donate 20% of the proceeds from the gloss ($23.50) to Bright Pink.
Esteé Lauder’s Pink Ribbon Collection raises awareness while keeping you looking your best. The collection includes the Evelyn Lauder Lip Design Collection ($25), the Elizabeth Hurley Lip Design Collection ($25), and the Jeweled Pink Ribbon Pin ($12.50).
