Most of us have experienced breast cancer in some way, whether its a personal diagnosis, or that of a loved one; breast cancer is still alarmingly common.

Here are some of my favorite brands who've made a point of showing support for breast cancer victims and survivors this month.



Dose Of Colors

This gorgeous pink duo supports Dose Of Colors in making a donation of $30,000 to City Of Hope. The duo is vegan, cruelty free, gluten free and paraben free. Gorgeous!






House Of Lashes

This awesome "Knockout" lash not only looks bomb on the eye but HOL are also donating $1 of each pair sold to Keep A Breast Foundation.




Sigma

Sigma are also donating $1 of each sale of their signature pink items to cancer research at the University of Minnesota. This includes these awesome brush cleaning helpers.



Jane Iredale

Each year, Jane Iredale create limited edition products and donate 100% of profits to Living Beyond Breast Cancer. This year you can choose between their "Smell The Roses" hydration spray and their "Lemongrass Love" hydration spray. Both sound delicious to me.




1:Face Watches

1Face support many different charities with their different watches but they have two that support breast cancer! One priced at $39 and one at $77; both gorgeous.


Hopefully this little round up will help some of you find some awesome purchases to support an incredible cause. 
I had a little rummage through my collection to find some old favorites to show you guys. Beauty bloggers try new products all the time so its easy for favorites to fall by the wayside.


This includes LOTS of products, i'm aware. I just figured it was a great way to show you lots of old favorites in one video!

I wanted to show you this ELF Baked Eyeshadow in full effect so heres a quick GRWM!



Stuff i used:


I was blissfully unaware of the Dose of Colors Terra Collection trio until a couple of you asked me what i thought of them, after a glance i knew i NEEDED them!

I have a liquid lipstick from Dose Of Colors already that i love the consistency of and these seem like they're the same formula, too. For a matte liquid lipstick, they are surprisingly not drying and wear well throughout the day.

The pictures below are of the lipsticks without using any lip liner so you get a true idea of the color. I would probably use a liner with Brick just to crisp up the edges and with Sand to define the lip area and stop my lips blending into my face.


Brick

Sand

Stone


My favorite has to be Stone, that perfect pink/grey nude. I'd say its like a lighter version of Kat Von D's Lolita liquid lipstick so a little more complimentary for the pale people out there. 

Although i don't wear reds often, i love the color of Brick and it dries like velvet. So gorgeous.

As for Sand, i'm a little undecided. I think for very pale people it would be a good nude shade or for darker tones with a lip liner but its just so close to my skintone that i feel a little odd wearing it. What i did discover is that its a great one to mix with the other shades to lighten them with or as a pop of light in the center of the lip.

Overall i love this trio, i think the shades will suit a lot of people and i love that you can custom mix them to suit your skintone/mood.

You can also check Logical Harmony's video where the beautiful Tashina tries them on. It'll give you an idea of what the colors look like on a slightly different skin tone.


I filmed this little collaboration video for you guys after you requested purple lips a LOT! Check out my beautiful friend at the end, too!

Matte Liquid Lipstick

Berry Me (X)


Berry Me wore REALLY well AND was easy to remove which is like an unheard of combo for a matte liquid lipstick or stain. My lips didn't feel dry at all and it faded evenly but was still vibrant when i took it off to go to bed.
I've increasingly seen more and more online about Dose of Colors lip products but couldn't find any info on their cruelty free stance so decided to email them.

Looks like i might be needing some new lip glosses and lipsticks ;)
