20 Breast Cancer Awareness Products That Really Give Back
There are so many ways to make a difference during Breast Cancer Awareness month, and as a fashion and beauty editor, I like to do a little shopping for a good cause. Some brands create new products to support breast cancer research, while others give classic items in their lineup a pink makeover. There are so many options, but that can make it difficult to distinguish the companies that are just jumping on the pink bandwagon from the ones that are giving to legitimate charities. That's why we've rounded up our favorite fashion and beauty finds that are giving between 20 to 100 percent of proceeds or profits to reputable causes. Keep reading to find out how you can give below.
