Estée Lauder Companies’ 2010 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign has launched a bold and provocative campaign theme entitled: Connect. Communicate. Conquer. Prevent Breast Cancer. One Woman at a Time. Wear It. Share It. The Pink Ribbon. This new campaign draws its inspiration from Mrs. Estée Lauder’s “High-Touch” method of reaching consumers through “Telephone, Telegraph, Tell-A-Woman.” Their approach to conquering breast cancer reinterprets this powerful messaging into a philanthropic mission for today’s modern and fast-paced culture.
Today, we are making more progress than ever and reaching more people each year with the message that if localized breast cancer is detected early, it’s 98% curable. While the American Cancer Society estimates more than 1.3 million people worldwide were diagnosed with breast cancer, the good news is that mortality rates continue to fall, and we believe this is due in part to better treatments, early detection and greater awareness of the importance of breast health. But we must continue to persist and pursue, and raise as much money for research as possible, to attain what we all believe is possible in our lifetime – a world without breast cancer.

This month, October, 14 of Estée Lauders brands will be selling 20 fabulous beauty products to raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF), an independent, not-for-profit organization that is dedicated to funding breast cancer research and currently supports 173 researchers around the world. (To learn more about BCRF, visit www.bcrfcure.org). These wonderful products cover all beauty categories -- Skin care, Makeup, Fragrance and Hair care – and include products from brands such as La Mer, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Jo Malone, Aveda, Bumble + Bumble, Lab Series, Origins and more. Evelyn Lauder, Senior Corporate Vice President of The Estée Lauder Companies and Founder and Chairman of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, along with celebrity spokesperson Elizabeth Hurley, have also designed special lip collections to raise funds.

Natural beauty retailer Beautorium has announced a new initiative that will unite breast cancer fundraising, in support of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® North Jersey Affiliate, with education about the health benefits of natural and organic beauty products. From Oct. 15, 2009 - Jan. 15, 2010, 25 percent of the proceeds from select products listed at
Beautorium will be donated to the North Jersey Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Beautorium has enlisted several of its brands, among the top natural beauty companies in the world, to participate in the effort. Exuberance Beauty, John Masters Organics, Juice Beauty, Marina Cosmetics, red flower, Revolution Organics, Saaf, Sophyto and Trilogy will donate to the cause. Melvita Organics will also join the lineup at the time of its US debut on Nov. 9. Among the 35 natural and organic products hand-picked to benefit Susan G. Komen North Jersey are Beautorium top-sellers like Trilogy Organic Rosehip Oil, Exuberance Brightening Facial Serum with Vitamin C, Saaf Organic Eraser Body Oil and Juice Beauty SPF 30 Tinted Moisturizer.

The unique support that Beautorium brings to Susan G. Komen North Jersey highlights the organizations’ interest in health awareness and education for women. In addition to raising funds that will help save lives, bring care and support to breast cancer patients and work toward a cure, Beautorium seeks to further the understanding of the importance of natural and organic products for our best health. Many ingredients that are commonly found in commercial beauty preparations have been linked to cancer or other health issues. Given that skin is our largest organ, able to absorb 60% of what we put on our bodies, the choice of natural and organic personal care products is an important step in protecting ourselves from an overload of harmful chemicals.

Beautorium offers only the highest quality natural products that are free from ingredients like parabens, phthalates, sodium laurel sulfate (SLS), sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which may pose serious health risks. To learn more about the potentially harmful ingredients in your beauty products, visit Skin Deep, at cosmeticsdatabase.com.

“I would like to thank Beautorium for raising awareness and funds for our organization from their Think Pink, Go Green Collection. Their support will help us to one day realize our goal and vision of a world without breast cancer.” said Deborah Q. Belfatto, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Susan G. Komen North Jersey.

Beautorium founder Ann Francke says, “We are passionate about the fight against breast cancer and thank Susan G. Komen North Jersey for the opportunity to support their work. We are hoping that our benefit campaign will be highly successful and enjoyed by all!”



New fom the deliciously fabulous PurpleLab!

PurpleLab has partnered with the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation to create a special lip gloss, SWAC ("Sealed With a Cure"), with partial proceeds to go to the charity. The gloss has been designed to boost "beauty, health, and confidence" while raising money for breast cancer research. Since launching the wildly popular Huge Lips Skinny Hips line of plumping lip glosses (I LOVE these glosses!), PurpleLab has been on a roll participating in and celebrating one event after another.

SWAC in Nancy is named after Nancy Block-Zenna, a much beloved woman who was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer when she was 35 years old. PurpleLab founder Karen Robinovitz discovered Nancy's story through mutual friends and wanted to learn more about this particular, lesser known type of cancer. Sadly, Nancy passed away two and a half years after her diagnosis. Inspired by Nancy's strength, her mutual friends set up the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation to raise awareness and support research.

Nancy's favorite color - pink - was chosen for this amazing gloss. SWAC's sheer pink color, a blush tone that looks amazing on all skin tones, features gold flecks for extra dazzle.

While travelling in Russia recently, Chad was captivated by the exquisite architecture, the glow of White Nights and the mesmerizing landscape. He was so taken by the culture – rich in history and art – that he decided to create a makeup look that captures Russia’s magnificence. Here's a look at Three Custom Color Specialists' new Czarina Collection.



  • NEW! Ballet Russe Lipstick ($18.50) – Create a sensation with this sheer sumptuous red! This shade emulates the essence of the superb Russian ballet historically known for its vitality and grandeur. The moisturizing and sheer lipstick formula is beautiful on all skin tones. Look for it in October’s Allure!
  • NEW! Gilded Eye Shadow ($19.50) – Inspired by the Romanov Dynasty that once ruled Russia, this dazzling gold is the perfect touch of shimmer to bring out your inner Anastasia. Use it dry to accent and highlight the eye, or wet for intensity on the upper and lower lash line.
  • NEW! Russian Blue Eye Shadow ($19.50) – This soft, icy blue grey was inspired by the decorative vaulted ceilings and friezes that adorn the palaces in St. Petersburg. Chad suggests that Russian Blue be used as a wash of color from the crease to the lash line, paired with their Black Eye Liner ($14.00).

20% of the purchase price of our FEARLESS PINK Lip Gloss ($22.50) will be donated to City of Hope. The gloss comes in a sweet pink gingham pouch designed by Shoshanna (while supplies last). City of Hope is an independent biomedical research, treatment and education center dedicated to preventing and curing cancer and other life-threatening diseases. They are one of only 40 National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers nationwide and a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
