October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands partner with charities to spread awareness and fundraise for life-saving breast cancer research. Often, these efforts involve donation campaigns and dedicated products — typically in varying shades of pink.
This year, Estée Lauder Companies continues its breast-cancer awareness campaign with themed skincare, makeup and fragrance from an extensive list of brands (such as Estée Lauder, La Mer and Jo Malone London), with a percentage of proceeds dedicated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Several fashion labels — from Jimmy Choo to David Yurman — are also participating in fundraising efforts.
