Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hey everybody!

As most of you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I think it's important to spread awareness and donate to charity, because this is a very important cause. I recently picked up a bracelet from Lilly Pulitzer, and this company has pledged to donate a minimum of $10,000 from the bracelet profits to breast cancer research. I'm actually going to be gifting this to my grandma who is a breast cancer survivor for Christmas! :)

It came in a lovely little blue pouch.

The bracelet itself is gold-plated, and measures 7 inches long.

Though this bracelet is no longer available for purchase, here are some more products you can buy to donate to breast cancer research.

• Joico K-Pak Intense Hydrator Treatment for Dry, Damaged Hair
• Aveda Hand Relief Creme 
• Estee Lauder's Elizabeth Hurley Pink Ribbon Set 
• Tweezerman Pink Ribbon Slant Tweezer Special Edition

Even though October is coming to a close, I hope you have a chance to do your part and help donate even just  a few dollars to breast cancer awareness and research. Until next time,

October Birchbox 2011

Hey everybody!

Today I got my October birch box, and this month's theme is "Prep and Finish". I was really excited to open it, and this month definitely didn't disappoint.

First we have the Clark's Botanicals Intense Radiance Mask. This is a clay mask designed to detoxify pores, clear blemishes, and calm irritations. This sounds perfect for my acne-prone skin! (1.7 fl oz | $72)

Next we have the amika Obliphica Hair Treatment. this is a hair oil infused with argan oil to help smooth tresses, and add glossiness and shine. I love hair oils, and this will definitely be put to good use! (3.38 fl oz| $34)

This is the Laura Geller Spackle Tinted Under Makeup Primer in Bronze. It helps foundation last all day, while adding subtle glow. I love Laura Geller products since I first tried their products in a previous Birchbox! (2 oz | $25)

Here is the Anastasia Beverly Hills HydraFull Gloss in Bellini. It's a plumping lip gloss that adds peachy sheen. I've already tried this one, and really adore the formulation! It's very moisturizing and non-sticky. My only concern is the color, it doesn't seem to work on me. But, I'd definitely give this a shot in a different color! (0.7 fl oz | $21)

Finally, we have the Birchbox extra, which is The Laundress' Wool & Cashmere Shampoo. Yes, that's right, this is a detergent! This will really come in handy when I'm washing my cashmere scarves.

Hope you enjoyed! Until next time,
