Breast Cancer Awareness Archives

Each October I have mixed feelings when I see the color pink flooding the stores. On one hand, I think it’s great that Breast Cancer Awareness is raising money and reminding people to get their regular check-ups. On the other hand, I am sickened by all of the companies that promote a pink item in October and donate 0% of the proceeds to Breast Cancer Awareness. Because I like to be an informed shopper and I like beauty products I’ve created a round up of beauty products that donate a portion of the proceeds {or a set $ amount} to breast cancer awareness or research foundations. I do have my affiliate links included in this post because it took me hours to research and put together. Trust me though, it won’t cost you a penny more if you buy anything after clicking the links on my site.

I have a few dozen more to add but I’ll get started with the beauty products that donate to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Check back on this post tomorrow for even more beauty products that “pay it forward.”
