More Than Just a Pretty Face

Giants of the beauty industry not only provide us with a wide range of products to assist our every day needs, they also donate a large amount of funds to breast cancer research.
It’s Breast Cancer Awareness month and we can support breast cancer research too. Not by hosting BBQ’s or buying pink pens, but by subconsciously purchasing our much loved products that give considerable profit to research.
The four products below donate an amazing $42,000 worth of profits! Not even including the other hundreds of supporting beauty brands out there.
By simply buying one of these fabulous products your donation will aid the strong women and families battling breast cancer.
Sooner or later, we are all going to need a new lipstick, a trendy nail polish or a new blush. Why not grab it now? You are getting what you want for a worthwhile cause.
 OPI is a gold sponsor of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. This October OPI released a limited edition nail art pack with 100% of  the profits donated to the foundation.

Komen, the largest breast cancer foundation in the US, and $5000 to Rethink Breast Cancer in Canada“We are proud to support breast cancer research with our seventh annual Pink of Hearts promotion, women can create and customise their own pink of hearts manicure to honour everyone who has been touched by breast cancer,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI co-founder and artistic director.
