Think Pink When It Comes to Breast Cancer Awareness

I'm sure that you have noticed that the color pink is just about everywhere now. October is one my favorite months of the year because it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month and I get to shop for products in my favorite color while giving back to such a great cause. You can purchase pretty much everything from beauty products to household items. Recently, I've learned that women aren't the only ones who can get affected by this. Men can also get breast cancer as well. It can happen at any age as well. I haven't gotten a mammogram before but I plan on doing so soon. I've also been fortunate to not have any one in my family affected by breast cancer yet, but that won't stop me from being generous and giving back. Here are a look at some items, you can purchase and give back to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I think I may purchase a few of these, as well, I just love pink! :)

jane Sparkle Gloss Swatch

In my September MyGlam bag I received a full size lipgloss from jane Cosmetics in Sparkle Pink. 

Its a hot fuchsia pink gloss with multi-colored shimmer.

Here are my lips before:

And here they are after with flash.

 And without flash.

I did some swatches on my arm and of course it looks better in person. 

The left swatch is just one swipe. The second swatch is three swipes. 

Here's the back.

This lip gloss is part of a set of lip glosses made for the Friends of Jane lip collection, which 100% of the net proceeds support a charitable organization geared towards empowering women.The scent was pleasant and smelled like a subtle hint of vanilla. The texture is creamy and slightly sticky. Not as sticky as some other glosses I've tried. The formula is long lasting. I tried to wash the swatches on my arm and they would not come off after washing it twice with soap. Try 3x. I can see why this is one of their best sellers. I'm definitely purchasing the Friends of Jane lip collection.
