2007 Breast Cancer Awareness Month
BellaSugar's Guide to Pink Ribbon Beauty Products
For most companies, today is the final day that promotional products will be available for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I wish this kind of do-good-beauty donation would happen more often. I hope that you've found some really great pink ribbon products to buy and make your contribution to the cause.
Think Pink: FHI Heat Technique Pink Edition
October is almost over, and yet I have just a few more Breast Cancer Awareness products to feature. Today's is a bit of a splurge, but it's one that I think you'll like a lot. FHI Heat's Technique 1" Styling Iron ($105) is a ceramic iron that allows you to straighten, curl, and flip hair with just one device.
Think Pink: Avon Breast Cancer Crusade Lip Balm
As I am sure you all know by now, Avon is a huge supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In addition to offering a variety of "pink ribbon products" such as this Breast Cancer Lip Balm with SPF 15 ($1.50, with all profits donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade), the company sponsors several walks to raise money for breast cancer research and prevention.
If you are wondering what you can do to help on the last days of the month, this lip balm is an affordable way to make a contribution.
Think Pink: Sephora Super Shimmer Lip Gloss in Forever Pink
Sephora doesn't just stock beauty brands, it has its own well-priced line of cosmetics, too. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it's created Super Shimmer Lip Gloss in Forever Pink ($10). And boy does this lippie have some serious sparkle, shine and shimmer!
Think Pink: Sonia Kashuk Pouch of Pink Makeup Case & Brush Set
Makeup artist and breast cancer survivor Sonia Kashuk has created a set of limited-edition pink products to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. You can now purchase an adorable pink houndstooth Pouch of Pink ($5.99) makeup case, or a pink brush ($19.99, available in Target stores only) which contains a blush brush, a medium, small, and angled eye shadow brush, a nylon foundation brush, a brow groomer, a smudge brush and a hand mirror.
This is the ultimate traveling beauty companion.
Think Pink: Essie Pink Is Powerful Nail Polish
New from Essie Cosmetics is a special, limited-edition nail polish created in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The color, Pink Is Powerful ($7) is a pale, shimmery sheer pink intended to inspire hope. 10% of the profits from Pink Is Powerful will be donated to the Entertainment Industry Foundation's Women's Cancer Research Fund throughout the month of October.
Think Pink: Metallic Sephora Pocket Brush Set
Sephora has created a special edition Pocket Makeup Brush Set in Metallic Pink ($15) in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This pretty in pink set contains five travel size cosmetic brushes; a powder brush, eyeshadow brush, lip brush, brow/liner brush, and a concealer brush that all have light pink handles and come neatly wrapped in a metallic bubble gum pink faux leather trifold.
The purse-sized pouch is great for work, travel, evening bag or any on-the-go touch ups.
Think Pink: Prescriptives Pink Ahead Collection
In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Prescriptives has created a collection called Pink Ahead. A cool $40,000 of profits from the sales of these products will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
The Pink Ahead Collection is made up of a medium compact that holds a tri-pan of pink eye shadow, a cheek color, and two new Colorscope lipcolors: San Diego Sunset (soft pink with golden shimmer) or Juliette’s Kiss (a soft taupe pink shimmer).
Think Pink: Lotions & Potions Boob Tube Lip Balm
Whether you call them your girls, your twins, your knockers or something else, October is a good time to think about your breasts. Because it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we should all take a moment to check our ta-tas for lumps. (It really is an effective way to detect the disease.) All month, I've been finding "pink" products, and this one is a real hoot.
Think Pink: Darphin Rose Aromatic Care
Darphin Rose Aromatic Care ($75) is a nighttime facial serum that hydrates, soothes, softens and smooths unbalanced, dry, and tight skin. It is made from rose oil, hazelnut, primrose, sweet almond oil, Vitamins A, E, C and horsetail extract which also helps protect skin from free radical damage.
15% of the proceeds from all October sales will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, an organization that provides funding for clinical and genetic research as well as outreach and public awareness of breast cancer.
