Breast cancer awareness products

The color pink seems to shine its brightest in October in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. October has caught on for many companies as a way to show their support in the fight against breast cancer through pink products and donations. This year is no different, and below I have listed some of popular ones. Also, I urge organizations to step-up their products for men … there were too few good ones out there.

• Lacoste’s Touch of Pink Fragrance, $52. Lacoste will donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of each 1.6 oz Eau de Toilette Spray to the Young Survivors Coalition.


• Murad’s Energizing Pomegranate Lip Protector SPF 15, $16.50. 10% of the retail price will go toward the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
