8 Pretty Breast Cancer Awareness Beauty Products That Are Fighting for a Cure
With the rapid changing-over of the seasons, you may be due for some product updates already. And there's no better time to make a round of new purchases than in October, when many brands release amazingly pink limited editions of their best sellers, donating a portion of the proceeds to charity. From the perfect pink nail polish to purifying mud masks, these products may look good — but they feel even better.

Bobbi Brown
Bobbi Brown knows her way around a blush; a sheer pink color like this looks good on any skin tone. The set comes with an adorable pink brush (pictured), and $10 from every sale from now until March 31, 2014 goes to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Marc Jacobs
This sexy black-and-pink look for Marc Jacobs' "Daisy" was designed specifically for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a portion of each sale is donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Grab the limited edition bottle from Macy's and you'll get free shipping! Smells like: wild strawberries, gardenia, violet, and jasmine.

TIGI
TIGI has a whole line of pink products whose proceeds will be donated to Susan G. Komen For the Cure, but this sassy dry shampoo is particularly awesome (and useful).

Essie
Essie is the undisputed queen of perfect pink nail colors, and the brand has given us not one, but two to choose from this October: "Pink About It" (pictured) is peachy pink and slightly shimmery, while "Pink Works" is a truer pink.

Estée Lauder
If you're looking for an anti-aging bedtime routine, Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair comes with a limited edition pink ribbon bracelet, and 20 percent of the retail price gets donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Another great (and cheaper) anti-aging option is Clinique's beloved Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, which comes with a pink ribbon charm and donates $10 from each $32 sale to the same foundation.

GlamGlow
Too much makeup? Freshen your complexion with this tingling, exfoliating mud mask — 25 percent of profits get donated to breakthrough breast cancer research.
GlamGlow Cure Sexy Mask, $80, glamglowmud.co.uk
Clinique
Clinique's breast cancer awareness products always tend to sell out, like an amazing limited edition pink lipstick they sold exclusively through Sephora and which is now nowhere to be found. Sigh. But this pretty pink will work on any lip color (oh, the magic of pink!), and $3 from each sale goes to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation — so apply away.
