10 of the Chicest Pink Products to Benefit Breast Cancer Research
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, which means there is no better time to support some of the amazing charities trying to bring an end to this horrible disease that will effect millions of women. As a young breast cancer survivor, I know how important this month is for organizations that provide essential care for people in treatment, funding for research to find a cure, support and technology for women facing this scary diagnosis. Breast cancer still holds the dubious honor of having the highest mortality rate for any kind of cancer among young people aged 15 to 35. The good news is that in the month of October, you can help to raise these essentials funds pretty easily. All you have to do is treat yourself to some luxe products.
1. Clinique BCA Pink With a Purpose ($16): This ultra soft, matte pink shade is perfect for fall. The matching bright tote is an adorable addition to your purse organization. Best of all, with the purchase of this product, $3 will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
2. Great Cause Breast Cancer Awareness Dramatically Different Lotion+ ($38): The beefed up new formula of the best selling moisturizer of all time is coming at you with an upgrade. You’ll get an extra-large serving and a BCA-themed silver keychain, all in a special package. With the purchase of this product, $10 will be donated to The Foundation.
3. Coach Andee BCA Stainless Steel Bracelet ($258): Just about the prettiest pink watch ever, Coach proves that BCA can be sweet, sophisticated and classy.
