TalkingMakeup.com: Daily makeup and beauty blog and makeup tutorials

This year, Beauty.com has partnered with CEW’s Cancer and Careers initiative. In addition to creating a BCA (Breast Cancer Awareness) store with an assortment of products that benefit different BCA charities, from October 12-18, if you click on www.beauty.com/cancerandcareers , 10% of all purchases made on Beauty.com will be donated to CEW’s Cancer and Careers. You can buy ANYTHING sold on the site, not just BCA products (nothing is restricted in any way). This gives you the opportunity to stock up on their favorite brands and products you would normally buy and help give back – so easy.
