Lipstick Powder N Paint

By Karen Kwan

This month, don’t go shopping, go shop-pink (sorry, couldn’t resist!). Even if the rosy hue is simply not what you’d choose to wear to school or the office, there are still plenty of ways you can think pink this October when it comes to shopping for your health and wellness while helping to raise funds for breast cancer awareness and research for organizations such as Rethink Breast Cancer and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. (more…)

The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Campaign, founded by the late Mrs. Evelyn H. Lauder, celebrates its 20th year in the fight against breast cancer. And to date is active in more than 70 countries, has raised more than $35 million to fund 140 Breast Cancer Research Foundation grants for medical research and this year alone supports 12 research grants across the globe. Congrats to you!

Every year in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Estée Lauder Companies’ offer Pink Ribbon products through many of their sought-after beauty brands to raise funds for medical research. Out of the 13 products available in Canada, here are our seven picks. Purchase one of these and you can look fab AND support an amazing cause all at the same time. (more…)

Lipstick Powder N Paint and several media peeps have teamed up with Rethink Breast Cancer to show our support for the fight against a truly horrible disease, Breast Cancer. (Nearly 1,000 Canadian young women under 40 will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. This information is so very scary, and it makes us teary-eyed to learn this. We feel blessed because we haven’t had breast cancer, and do not have any friends or family that have had breast cancer.)

We were each given a Rethink Breast Cancer partner product and asked to be creative, and compete in a ‘Who Styled It Best’ battle.

Our challenge was to create a nail look using the limited-edition OPI Pink of Hearts 2012 Polish Duo ($20.95) and beat out our competition, Daniella Etienne of TheBrokenHeelDiaries.com who was also asked to paint her nails.

Here’s where it gets good, people…YOU vote for who you think ‘Styled It Best,’ and for every single vote, Penguin Books Canada has pledged to donate $1 to Rethink Breast Cancer. And you can vote AS. MANY. TIMES. AS. YOU. LIKE. Voting ends on October 15th.

So come on, lovelies, help us raise money for Rethink Breast Cancer! Click here to vote.
