Think Pink for Pinktober

As you all probably know, October is the month for Breast Cancer Awareness. Such an important cause (particularly personal for me) which we need to not only support, but donate towards in order to continue the research for cures and fund mammograms.

Each year, as well as the iconic pink ribbon badges we see women (and men) wearing across the globe, Breakthrough Breast Cancer Care teams up with several brands across the high street. Selected or specifically designed products are chosen, and for each one that is sold, a portion of the money is donated automatically to the charity.

This year, even more brands across the high street have gotten involved with this cause; across fashion and beauty among other products.

Here are some of the great ones I’ve found by trawling through the internet to find you the best picks for 2013. I’ve mostly focused on Beauty products – because there is such a huge selection, as well as a couple of fashion and gift ideas.

To purchase any of these items above, please contact the brands directly, or head to one of their stores.

Additionally, another fantastic idea comes from the campaign by ITV’s Lorraine, called “Bin Your Bra“.

The idea is that you head to your nearest House of Fraser branch during these first two weeks of October, with your unwanted bras and pop them in the special Lorraine “Bin Your Bra” Bins. These bras will then be sent to developing countries by the charity.
