Sorry I didn’t post yesterday. Had an insane day. How was your weekend? I hope amazing! We are loaded with beauty reviews this week. Loaded!! Including some gorgeous new offerings from Lancome. And in six days I'll finally be able to reveal some great news. Man I can't wait. I've been dying to tell you. But today, we're going to get a little serious. I want to talk to you today about breast cancer. I think every one of us knows someone that has been affected by this horrible disease. It is the most common Cancer in women. Last year, I shared with you that I lost someone very special to me, to this disease. In one encounter, this woman basically changed my life. If you didn’t read that post click here. We must stop this disease from taking away so many amazing people (like my friend). If you're able, please donate to the various breast cancer charities, like the Susan B Komen Fund . Also, to fight breast cancer, many beauty brands are offering pink products. These are products that you can purchase and proceeds from the sale will go towards Breast Cancer Research. Here are some:
Pink Clarisonic
My must-have beauty product.
With every purchase of this fashionable PLUS, Clarisonic will donate $15 (as well as $3 for every pink Mia and $4 for every pink classic or plus to Look Good Feel Better.)

Cancer and Careers is dedicated to eliminating fear and uncertainty for the thousands of people who must balance a cancer diagnosis with their work. This pic shows many of the brands that will be donating.
As the month progresses I will be featuring more and more brands but I wanted to make you aware of these.
What are you doing to try to fight breast cancer?
Do you know anyone that has been affected by this illness?
Hugs,

Hi DE, just spent about 45 minutes surfing through all of your blog posts after stumbling upon it while searching for reviews on a recent makeup purchasethat I loveee(Lorac Baked Matte Satin Blush in "Exposed")haha. Finally I came across this one about Breast Cancer. I have an aunt who passed away recently from it, and am currently working for a 12 year Breast Cancer survivor! She is a textile designer, and I proposed a design contest where we will have people submit original artwork to be put on a limited edition artecobags tote bag. The bags are 100% recycled material, eco-friendly, high quality quilted, and insulated for superb functionality. Normally my boss sells her own original designs but I felt like it would be fun to have a a product designed by someone else who feels strongly about supporting Breast Cancer! Here is the link to our facebook event page for the 2011 Breast Cancer Awareness Design Challenge https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=275336962511266. I would appreciate it very much if you would take the time to look at it and mention it in a blog post. Thank you and keep up the great content!
