October: Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As is traditional, October (or as I always call it in my mind, Rocktober) is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We've all got'em, and we should be takin' care of 'em. Ireland has particularly high instances of the disease, and of course, Action Breast Cancer are there with help and support.

Cosmetics companies are also amazing supporters of this very worthy cause, and we'll be bringing you pink products throughout the month, the purchase of all of which guarantees a donation to charity.

Prescriptives step up to the plate first, with their Pink Ahead campaign (at BT stores). There's a limited edition Colorscope Eye Color containing three shadow shades pressed into one pan to highlight, define and contour eyes. You can add this to a compact along with a cheek colour (both of which you purchase separately), for a real customised look. And the price? €20, €8 of which goes to the Cancer Clinical Trust at St. Vincents University Hospital, Dublin. Not bad, eh?
