Pink Product: Surgeon’s Skin Secret Beeswax Moisturizer

October 16, 2008 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

I love, love, love, grapefruit scented products. So it is no surprise that I took a shine to Surgeon's Skin Secret Beeswax Moisturizer in grapefruit scent!

Packaged in a cute pink and white tube, $1 from each sale goes to Breastcancer.org. The moisturizer is a skin balm made with beeswax and grapefruit extract. The tube provides a good amount, and the twist up nature of it makes it perfect for applying to rough patches of skin without having to make a mess of your hands. It is nice stuff!

Surgeon's Skin Secret is also available in an unscented version and numerous other scents.

Japonesque Pink Go Curl Eyelash Curler

October 8, 2008 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Japonesque has a full line of makeup and cosmetic tools and brushes. For October, they have released a neat little item, the Limited Edition Pink Ribbon Japonesque Pocket Eyelash Curler. This is a pink version of their regular Go Curl Pocket Eyelash Curler.

This cute pink curler is perfect for your purse or travel kit. A lever in the back flips down to operate the curer, which is pretty easy to use and has a good pad. The shape makes it slightly odd to use, but I loved the combo of the white pad and pink plastic. It allowed me to easily see that I had all my lashes in the curler—something I have troubles with when using a regular eyelash curler. Indeed, aside from the charitable aspects, I recommend the pink version over the regular black one for that reason.

At $11, this is a good value item. 20% of the purchase price goes to the City of Hope Foundation.

October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 1, 2008 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

Here it is, October 1st, which means that a busy month is ahead. During October, companies brand pink products with a portion of the proceeds going to breast cancer research. This year, the Beauty Blog Network is also reviving its popular Comments for a Cure promotion and it has partnered with the Estee Lauder Company to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Throughout the month, look for Network blogs to pledge donations to various cancer research charities based on your comments. For more, visit the Beauty Blog Network Breast Cancer Awareness Page.

Beauty and Fashion Tech and Girl Gloss will be taking part, with a donation going to the Walter Payton Cancer Fund. I will donate $1 for each comment made between October 13 and 15 up to a total of $50. Readers can also leave their own donation, using the chipin widget in the left sidebar. Want more choices? Visit some of the other member blogs participating in Comments for a Cure. Both sites will also be listing or reviewing pink products throughout October.

Keep in mind that while buying pink products is fun, a direct donation is still the best way to assure that the entirety of your funds goes to cancer research and support!

A few other things to watch for during October from members of the Beauty Blog Network:

Reader giveaways of pink products on blogs from the Beauty Blog Network and from Total Beauty
Chipin widgets on sites that allow you to add your own direct donation to a variety of causes
Many product reviews of Pink items on network blogs

October is a great time to browse all of the beauty blogs! Want to see other posts? Look in the loser right sidebar for the Beauty Blog Network Widget featuring Breast Cancer Awareness posts from network members!
