Be beautiful for charity
It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month throughout October but that doesn't mean you have to trek the wilds of Brazil or jump from a plane to show support. There are plenty of beauty products you can splurge on, knowing that your donation will go a long way.
Soothing aromatherapy
Pamper and indulge yourself with gorgeous Tisserand Aromatherapy goodies. Celebrating five years of support for The Lavender Trust at Breast Cancer Care, the range contains soothing organic lavender essential oil - perfect to nourish your skin and help to soothe away the stresses and strains of everyday life. (Stockists: 01273 325 666).
Moisten those lips
If you want to hit the town running and get heads turning, No7's Intelligent Moisture Lip Colour Petal (£8) is a must in your handbag and on your mouth. And when it says `intelligent,' it means it, as the formulation boosts hydration levels over a 12-hour period. It contains Opti 7, a nourishing complex with SPF 15, which protects and plumps your lips and helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
No7 Intelligent Moisture Lip Colour Petal is available from Boots stores and ten per cent of sales will be donated to the Breast Cancer Care `be up front' campaign.
Active beauty
Give dry, tired skin a treat with Olay Beauty Fluid, which is enriched with precious moisture-rich nutrients that lock in your natural moisture. The light and non-greasy formula absorbs easily into your skin so it can breathe naturally, and it provides a perfect base for make-up. And it's pH neutral, so ideal for all skin types. Keep an eye out for limited edition packs of Olay Beauty Fluid, which include a specially designed Olay pink ribbon pin badge.
Olay is supporting Breast Cancer Care by aiming to raise £100,000 through their 'Message On A Bottle' promotion on limited edition packs of Olay Beauty Fluid. Find out more at www.olay.co.uk
High gloss nails
Stay in the pink with No7 Ultimate Nail Colour Vivid Pink (£6). If high gloss gives you the sparkle you need to stand out in the crowd, then this hardwearing colour is just the ticket. It contains biotin and vitamin E to strengthen and condition your nails. And there's no time-consuming retouching as it stays shiny and immaculate for up to five days.
No7 Ultimate Nail Colour is available from Boots stores and 10% of sales will be donated to the Breast Cancer Care `be up front' campaign.
Be self-tantastic
St Tropez revolutionized the self-tanning business when they introduced their salon tanning treatment with its unique application system a decade ago. Now it's synonymous with serious celebrity fake baking, lasts for five or six days, doesn't smell and dries in about a minute. So how does it work? The formula contains aloe leaf juice and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to limit streakiness and make the colour deeper and longer-lasting.
St Tropez is supporting Breast Cancer Care by donating £1 from each sale of 8oz sizes of St Tropez AutoBronzant, Whipped Bronze Mousse and Bronzing Mist in department stores and salons across the UK.
Sweet lips
Can you resist sweet temptation? No7's delicious Liplicious Bon Bon (£7.50) is a fabulous ultra-shiny lip gloss that comes in an easy to use to tube so you can look glam in a flash even whilst on the move.
Available at Boots stores. Ten per cent of sales will be donated to the Breast Cancer Care `be up front' campaign.
