Each year October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when those working hard behind-the-scenes to either find a cure, raise money for a cure, or spread the word about early detection and the startling statistics related to the disease put an emphasis on educating the public at large. Considering one in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime, according to BreastCancer.org, this is likely a disease that has either affected you or someone close to you.

Personal monetary donations are of course always welcomed by a bevy non-profits eager to help fight breast cancer, like the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation and BreastCancer.org, funding medical studies and more. But there are also a lot of companies selling special products this month with portions of the proceeds donated to groups who are working tirelessly to help find a cure, aid breast cancer survivors, and get the word out.

If you're looking for a little feel-good retail therapy, here are some places to start:

1. Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick

Pucker up! In October Avon is donating S 15% of net profits from all sales of their best-selling True Color Nourishing Lipstick ($8 each), up to a total of $750,000 in 2I018, to support the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade programs in the United States.  The formula offers a creamy feel, provides full coverage, and leaves your pout with a smooth, conditioned feeling.
