Cosmetics for a Cause: Think Pink!

During the month of October we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness. Being that this disease hits so close to home for me, I love it when I see cosmetic companies that support the cause! Here are a few that have caught my eye so far this month:

For the sixth consecutive year OPI has released a Breast Cancer Awareness shade with this years being Pink of Hearts 2012. This is a duo set consisting of “I Think in Pink” & “You Glitter be Good to Me”. This classic pale pink shade underneath of the pink & gold sparkles are a must-have for your nails this month.
