Pretty in Pink: Beauty Products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Summer is officially over. As most of us continue to deal with the lingering effects of the pandemic, many of us have neglected our regular health screenings because of it. However, now is a perfect time to take a closer look at our health and well-being. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and it’s a great time to schedule a yearly mammogram and encourage the women in your life to do the same. Awareness is a wonderful thing and taking action based on that awareness is even better.
And after you’ve taken care of your own health, you can go a step further by making a contribution to organizations that support breast health and work to find a cure. Fortunately, lots of companies make it really easy to support breast cancer research and Shop Pink with special edition products, the proceeds of which go to support the cause. Here are a few of my picks for the best beauty, style, and home products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2020.

Great products! I love Philosophy and giving to great causes.
This is awesome. I actually stopped donating for this and focused on donating toward Ovarian Cancer research because my stepmom has it. Well, she was in remission for about 3 years and it came back, spreading all over, with a few months left on her prognosis. Cancer isn't fun and it's great that companies are trying to find ways to not just be able to sell a product, but also put some of the sale to a good cause.
Sorry to hear about your stepmother. All the best to your family.
I love when companies give back, great picks!
The Hard Candy eye shadows look fabulous. I really need some new makeup. Thanks for the suggestion.
The compact and the lip gloss is definitely on my list to get.
I love that so many brands support breast cancer research/awareness! I'm going to see if I can find some of the Jergens lotion at the store today since I needed some lotion anyways.
Philosophy products always smell SO good. I love the lip gloss colors too.
It's really nice of companies to donate a percentage of sales of products but I'd love to see a larger number! And year round instead of just during special months. 🙂 I love all the pink.
Oh wow I am surprised to see so many companies supporting the cause. I definitely plan to purchase from companies who support Breast Cancer.
I love any company that supports any charity and for a good cause. This is why I buy there products to support the causes I care about.
I wouldn't mind trying the Bobbi Brown lip glosses. Such pretty colors!
Thank you for this wonderful list of products!
Love Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.
Those are some nice looking products. Will have to try them.
Some great products, for a great cause.
Love Aveda was one of the first hair brands I went to.x
Love Them All But My Favorite Is The Compact!
Wonderful those are really good products for women. I would love to buy some of that for my mother and sister 🙂
I just had my mammogram last Friday. It is important for us all to be aware of breast cancer even men which we tend to forget they can get it too. I love the Hard Candy eye shadow and the nail polish. Thanks for sharing.
Great ways to be pretty in pink! I love Jergens. What an easy way to contribute to a great cause!
It's wonderful how these companies are giving up portions of their proceeds for such a great cause.
What a great way to bring awareness to such an important cause. That compact and lip gloss collection are fabulous!
This is a great pink product suggestions for the breast cancer awareness month. It's nice to know that those companies support the cause.
It is so wonderful that a portion of the purchase price is donated. There needs to be so much more awareness and research.
Great products for a great cause! I love those lip gloss colors!
Awareness month already! Time flies! I'm going to look for that hand cream, it looks like one I'd love
I know! I feel like I just did a BCA post, but nope, it's been a whole year.
Ooh I love the Estee Lauder compacts. Takes me back to when I used to collect compacts
I'd love to see your collection!
Thank u for sharing these! It is a great list. The products looks amazing as well.
that compact package is so lovely and pink – definitely one good try to have.
LOVE that Clinique and Hard Candy!
