Breast Cancer Awareness Month Beauty Buys

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I wanted to do this post because to let you all know how you can give back to help fight breast cancer. For 2012, there are several companies that are donating a portion of proceeds from products sold to different Breast Cancer charities. For beauty lovers this is a win-win situation. You not only get to buy some great products but you also get to give back, which I think is very important to do.Please also be aware that some of these items will not be available until October so if you can't find it yet just check back in October and it should be available then. I will try and update this post as I find new products being sold.
