Going Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Hello everyone, 
As most if not all of you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. According to cancer.org in the USA alone in 2013 around 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women & about 39,620 women will DIE from the cancer. There is no reason that these numbers should be this high. This is why everyone should check their breasts for lumps, don't be afraid to feel your boobs! It could save your life. You can learn how to here.

Breast Cancer touches millions of lives, including mine. My childhood best friend lost her mother to breast cancer. It broke my heart to see my friend hurting & not being able to do anything about it. No one should lose a loved one to any kind of cancer especially when it can be prevented.

So, today in honor of my friend's mother, Jean-Marie, who also happened to be a makeup lover I want to share with you guys my favorite pink products.
