Breast Cancer Awareness Month kicks off today. Of course, it’s important to raise awareness about breast cancer throughout the year. But October is when there’s a big push to shop to support the cause. That’s because fashion and beauty brands donate part (or all) of the proceeds of certain items to help the cause.
Whether you’re looking to finally try that cult skincare product or you’re on the hunt for a new lip gloss color, there’s a beauty product for you. But it’s not only skincare and makeup. There is also plenty of covet-worthy fashion finds. We’re talking comfy dresses, bras, and even leggings. Not to mention stylish accessories. Why not buy your silk scarves, bracelets, necklaces, and footwear from brands that are giving back? If you fall into the procrastinator category, you’ll be pleased to hear that many brands plan on continuing to donate even after October wraps up in order to maximize donations.
See below to shop 20 must-have products that support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Buy them for yourself or wrap up your holiday gift shopping now. The fact that your purchases are for a good cause will only make those on your list happier.
