Watching So You Think You Can Dance last night brought up an emotional subject in Melissa’s and Ade’s breast cancer routine.

I was very touched by this dance as I have lost several of my family members including both my Grandmothers to cancer.

So You Think You Can Dance not only reminded me of my family’s personal fight with cancer but also reminded me to support the research to fight all types of cancer.

Below are a few ways that us beauty fanatics help to support the cause:

Clinque’s Lipstick made specifically to promote Breast Cancer Awareness donates $10 for every purchase.

This lipstick is a beautiful femine pink shade that looks great on everyone and comes in a sleek designed tube and lipstick case.  Priced at $16.50 and available for a limited time at Sephora.

Anthony Logistics for Men is not only a great skin care line for men, but a portion of its proceeds are donated to Prostate Cancer Awareness.

Anthony’s Sea Salt Scrub for men is shown to the left is just one of the amazing products which uses natural ingredients like Aloe and Vitamin C to exfoliate and sooth rough skin.

So don’t forget that there are many ways to raise awareness and fight cancer. Please help the cause and go to cancer.org to find out more about the fight and how you can help!
