No one can escape the flurry of all pink everything come October. Frankly, we should be aware of breast cancer year round, but if it’s mountains of pink products that raise millions of dollars to help find a cure, we’re all for decking out our vanities in the girly-girl color. No one gets behind the cause quite like beauty; nearly every brand participates in the cause via new products, special packaging, or limited edition formulas. Click through for a list of who’s donating the big bucks. And hey, if you really hate pink, you can (and should) donate directly.
