Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month With Shiseido + Why Pink?

One of my favorite all time skincare and make-up brands is Shiseido. In support of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the luxury brand is partnering with Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) to support their philanthropic arm, Cancer and Careers, for the seventh consecutive year.

Here are some interesting facts regarding breast cancer and it's connection to the color pink.

By donating $5 for every Lacquer Rouge in Diva (VI418) sold throughout the month of October, Shiseido will give back to the non-profit  organization dedicated to supporting working women living with cancer.  

The  new  bright pink  shade of liquid lip color with lacquer-like shine is gorgeous and can be purchased at www.shiseido.com  for $25. Three more days left to shop for a cause!

 

Fashion and Beauty Consumer Reports with Rank & Style

I attended the S.H.E. Summit in New York a few months ago and met the one of the co-founders of this fabulous new start-up called Rank & Style. Since my passion is to share my best-kept lifestyle secrets, this website certainly fits the bill.

Rank & Style revolutionizes shopping by bringing their users unbiased, data-driven top ten lists of the best fashion and beauty products. Their lists are created utilizing an algorithm that researches and aggregates data (user reviews, bestseller lists, editorial recommendations and expert product reviews) from the best department stores, boutiques, fashion blogs and style magazines.

Each list captures the top ten items within a fashion or beauty category (skinny jeans, motorcycle jackets, blush, facial sunscreens and much more) to help users find the best products based on their popularity, quality, value and “buzz” factor. I personally find it very helpful when researching products to review or purchase. 

Below are a few lists previously covered.

The Ten Best Blushes

Another perk...you can request a list or style to be ranked directly from their website. It's really like a trendy Consumer Reports for all things fashion and beauty! Sign up here for the Rank & Style weekly newsletter.

The Best Red Lip Color: Sangria!

I found out about  Laura Mercier's Sangria red lip color when I interviewed the Dannijo girls and asked Jodie (one of the sisters of this fab jewelry duo) what color she was wearing on her lips. It's so difficult to find a good red lipstick so I bought it to see how it looked on me. I have a hard time with reds but really like this one so thought I would share. Would love to know some of your favorite reds too!
