18 Beautiful Products That Support Breast Cancer Research & Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while spreading the word and donating to charities, research foundations and organizations in support of the cause are the most important things you can do, there are other ways to contribute.

This time of the year, many brands commit to donating a portion of sales from special items in support of breast cancer awareness & research. Here are some incredible products that you can feel good about buying, knowing they are supporting the fight for the cure. Whether they are for gifts for the upcoming season, or just items you'd love to have for yourself- consider these special items this month that can bring a smile to someone's face and give hope to many hearts.

This tiny palette has a surprising amount inside! Packaged like an iconic Sephora bag, this limited-edition collection includes a variety of eyeshadows, lipglosses and blushes. They definitely aren't skimping on the pink in this palette too!
