As many as one in 11 women are affected by breast cancer each year. To coincide with Breast Cancer Month, a number of cosmetic companies have released limited-edition beauty products and will donate some or all of the proceeds to charity.

Avon hopes to ‘kiss goodbye to breast cancer’ with a pink-packaged lipstick, $9.99; O.P.I has launched a new nail lacquer called Think About The Pink, $19.95; Dove has produced a pink version of its popular Beauty Bar, $3.99 (two pack); and Aveda has increased the size of its best-selling Hand Relief cream, $44.95.

So, when you buy a Pink Ribbon, enamel pin or wristband to wear on Pink Ribbon Day, treat yourself to a great beauty buy that will benefit women across the country.
