Makeup
products support breast cancer awareness

October
is Breast Cancer Awareness month, as everyone,
hopefully, knows. In honor of helping to
find a cure and generating awareness, many
makeup companies are donating proceeds of
specific products to help the cause.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that
the products are very appealing and most
of the shades would look good on anyone.
That said, go stock your beauty bag and
your Christmas present stash fast- because
October is almost over!
Clinique is offering the “In the Pink” limited
edition set. This set includes a Moisture
Surge Lipstick SPF 15 in “Pink Whimsey,”
a miniature “Tutu Pink” nail enamel and
a Clinique pouch. This can be purchased
for $8.50 by visiting a Clinique counter
or logging onto Clinique.com.
Avon has a wonderful promotion, not only
are all of the proceeds being donated, but
it slashed the price of its No. 1
selling lipstick and are offering six different
colors ranging from light pink to spice.
“Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer” lipcolor
is a gel formula lipstick that hydrates
and shines. This lipstick can be purchased
for only $4 at Avon.com. When purchasing
this lipcolor, the company will also include
a free Breast Health Resource Guide.
Stila has created a pink lip glaze called
“BCA Pink.” This glaze is encased in a long
tube and has a paint-on applicator. For
$24 dollars you can tingle in this very
sheer mint scented glaze. Visit any Stila
counter or Sephora boutique to purchase
“BCA Pink” and help the Breast Cancer Research
Foundation.
Estee Lauder is benefiting the Breast Cancer
Research Foundation as well, with its “Pink
Ribbon Collection.” This collection features
six items: two different styles of pink
ribbon pins, a gold pink ribbon compact,
a lipstick traveler set with a pink mini-tote,
a lip-gloss compact and a book of nature
photographs titled, “An Eye for Beauty,”
which was featured on “The Today Show” and
is endorsed by Elizabeth Hurley and Evelyn
Lauder. My favorite item is the lip-gloss
compact for $15. Not only is the gloss clear
with a hint of transparent sparkles, it
looks good on everyone.
