Jo Malone's North American sales of her Red Roses cologne and bath oil will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

OPI has released its third Pink of Hearts limited edition of nail polish ($9 on amazon.com), the proceeds of which will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation and Rethink Breast Cancer.
Cheeks and eyes
Even though Estée Lauder's Prescriptives brand will cease operations at the beginning of next year, it has come out with one last 'pink product' for Breast Cancer Awareness Month: the Pink Ribbon Palette for cheeks and eyes has gone on sale for $49.
Shiseido donates $5 per every Luminizing Satin Eye Color in Peony sold ($25) to Cancer and Careers, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting working women living with cancer.
