Help Aide in the Fight Against Breast Cancer and Get Hollywood Hair!

Happy Wednesday Fabulous Readers!

Jessica 
here again! You might already know this by now, but October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The ladies of Certified F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S. decided to review products that we love that also give back. Specifically I review a product where the brand donates a portion of their proceed when you buy ANY of the products they offer. This is something rare, since brands that give back usually only offer one or two products to donate a portion of sales to a charity.

Pristine Beauty donates a portion of ALL product proceeds to  Young Survival Coalition® and the Cancer Prevention Coalition. I was so happy to find out about this brand because I was dying to try their hair care products and it was an extra benefit that a part of my spending spree would help out in some way to cancer prevention and awareness charities.

Being the drama queen that I am I was immediately attracted to the website and product names, since they are Old Hollywood Glamour and film themed :) I am also obsessed with my hair so I searched the product line for hair care and found the Temptress Tote! This has all the hair needs you could ask for in one cute bag; Locks Of Fame Shampoo, Locks Of Fame Conditioner and No Scary Hairy Repair, Condition and Protect Hair Serum. I felt like I got the star treatment when the products actually came in because the presentation was beautiful! The box it was mailed in came with PINK raffia...how could I not love it? The tote perfectly fit the products and came with an adorable note card that read, "A tempting gift for a glamour girl". The products even had old Hollywood glamour girl pictures...totally awesome.

I researched the charities they give part of the proceeds to and I wanted to share with you all a little more information on the two (because we should know where our money goes if a brand claims it is given to a specific charity).

Young Survival Coalition® - Started with the experiences of three young women facing the challenges of battling breast cancer. The founders, all diagnosed with breast cancer before age 35, saw the need for better information, support and research for young women facing this disease. This knowledge and support is so important to have in our society today where more and more women are being diagnosed with breast cancer at young ages.

Cancer Prevention Coalition - is a unique nationwide coalition of leading independent experts in cancer prevention and public health, together with citizen activists and representatives of organized labor, public interest, environmental, and women's health groups. Their goal is to reduce escalating cancer rates through a comprehensive strategy of outreach, public education, advocacy, and public policy initiatives to establish prevention as the nation's foremost cancer policy.
