Pink Products: Darphin Arovita C Energic Firming Cream.

This is another Breast Cancer Awareness entry, and one that I cannot wait to give a thorough test to. It is the Arovita C Energic Firming Cream from Darphin.

This invigorating, vitamin-enriched face cream that helps to firm and fortify the skin's natural resiliency to help correct the loss of elasticity in the face and neck.  Packed with vitamins, this cream will renew and protect fragile skin at the same time.

Darphin will donate $20.00 from each sale of Arovita C Energic Firming Cream during the month of October to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Darphin products can be purchased online and select spas, Bergdorf Goodman, Space NK and bluemercury locations.

Pink Products: Bumble and Bumble Classic Hairspray.

One of my favorite of all time hair sprays is this entry for Breast Cancer Awareness from Bumble and Bumble. It is their famed Classic Hairspray.

If you have not tried this spray, it is a nice, soft holding spray, that brushes out easily. This is especially good if you change up your style during the day. It leaves a nice shine to the hair, and is perfect when perfecting your updo or ponytail.

Bumble and Bumble is donating $1 from every can of Classic Hairspray sold throughout September and October to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Pick it up at New York City Bumble and Bumble salons or online at bumbleandbumble.com.

Pink Products: Peace of Mind.

Overwhelmed? Stressed? Who isn't?

In this rush, rush always on the go society, it is important to sometimes stop and take a deep breath in order to alleviate a bit of the pressure.  When I am feeling a bit of this pressure, I like to grab my trusty Peace of Mind On-the-spot Relief from Origins.

This oil is a blend of powerful de-stressing ingredients including Basil, Eucalyptus and Peppermint. These are all proven to bring on more calming feelings, and I believe that it does. Otherwise, I probably would not reach for it as often as I do.

This month, Origins has specially packaged Peace of Mind in a pretty pink bottle and box. For just $10 at Origins counters and online, Origins will donate $35,000 from the sales of Peace of Mind to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
