Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And while I strongly believe that we should stay informed and active year-round, and not just during one particular month, this is also a great opportunity to stock up on some fab beauty essentials that will benefit breast cancer research. (And yes, I also believe that boyfriends should be romantic all the time, not just on Valentine’s Day.) So buy something to help the cause, but don’t forget to keep the spirit going well after October has passed.
