Think Pink: Beauty Products That Support Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the beauty industry does its bit to help by donating to charity some of the profits from limited edition pink-themed products.

Here is my pick of the PINKS:

The GOGO Campaign

My personal favorite…. Get One, Give One Beauty for a cause. Josie Maran has teamed up with City of Hope, a leading cancer research, treatment, and education institution, to launch the Get One Give One Campaign.

For each GOGO mascara purchased, Josie Maran Cosmetics will donate one mascara to a City of Hope cancer patient/survivor (up to 5,000 units). And through August 2012, she’ll donate $1 from every sale of the GOGO Instant Natural Volume Argan Oil Mascara to City of Hope’s research, treatment, and education of women’s cancers.

With your purchase, you are helping women look better, feel better, and build self-esteem. Now isn’t that beautiful? www.josiemarancosmetics.com

 

OPI Pink Shatter

Manicure magic!

Available in September and October 2011, each bottle of OPI’s Pink Shatter: Pink of Hearts has a special pink-ribbon tag and pink cap wrap to promote breast cancer awareness.

OPI will also be donating $25,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

 

Dial NutriSkin Lotion – Breast Cancer Awareness Edition

Dial is offering a Breast Cancer Awareness version of its Extra Dry Skin lotion, as well as donating $100,000 to Breast Cancer Network of Strength.

This lotion is super-moisturizing and packed with a special blend of vitamins, nutrients and minerals for your skin.

Look good, feel good and support a good cause!

Both retail for $25, and Estee Lauder will donate 20% of sales to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Philosophy’s Hope In a Jar is a beloved favorite when it comes to moisturizers.
