5 of the Best... Breast Cancer Awareness Beauty Buys


It's officially October, and as well as a pinch and a punch, I want to give you an idea of some of the best products around that help you look gorgeous while you donate money to Breast Cancer Research charities as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Here's my top five...



5. Paint for Life!


Beauty UK ran a competition with their fans to design and name a nail polish shade just for fun. Then one of their  followers came up with an idea that spawned the biggest charity partnership they've ever been involved in! As a result, they've joined forces with Cancer Research UK, the UK’s leading cancer charity, and pledged to raise a minimum of £50,000 for Breast Cancer Research in the next 12 months!

Product: Paint for life nail polish trio

Price: £5.99 per set

Donation: For every single set sold, £1  will be donated directly to Cancer Research UK

Stockist: Available in Superdrug stores nationwide and at beautyukcosmetics.com

4. Light Relief


Aveda has introduced a limited edition Hand Relief for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The product includes meadowfoam seed oil to provide hydration to dry and chapped skin while maintaining the skin’s moisture barrier without a heavy or greasy feeling.

It also includes Vitamins A and E to help protect skin from environmental aggressors, lactic acid from sugar beet to remove dry and damaged skin, licorice extract to brighten the appearance of freckles and age spots without irritation; and Glycerin and andiroba oil for moisture and relief for dry, stressed skin.

Product: Limited Edition Hand Relief Cream

Price: £17.50/150ml

Donation: £2  from the sale of each cream in the UK during October will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation
