The Power of Pink : Clinique

October has always been my favorite month of the whole year for many reasons. It's my birthday month. It's the month where I start to sense that the holiday season is approaching. And it's the month when I get to shop til I drop for a good cause. That's right, ladies. The Breast Cancer Awareness Month is here. Every year, major charities around the world come together to create the pink campaign for one purpose - to raise awareness of early detection and treatment for breast cancer, which affects millions of women around the globe.

For the next few weeks, I will be introducing many beauty brands that put in their shares in the pink campaign. You would be able to check out selected products from various brands that donate part of their sales to various charities.


The first brand up on our list is one of my all time favorite - Clinique. 

Make a dramatic difference. $10.00 from your purchase helps support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Limited-edition Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion ($35) comes with a collectible key ring with a pink ribbon heart and Clinique “C” charm.


Even if you have something else in mind to purchase, just remember that when you make any clinique.com purchase during October, you can donate to BCRF during the checkout process.
