			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With October right around the corner and Breast Cancer Awareness month coming along with it, here are the top 5 pink ribbon beauty finds that benefit various breast cancer organizations.</p>
<div id="attachment_863" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 230px"><a href="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/estee-high-res.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-863" title="estee high res" src="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/estee-high-res.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="157" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Evelyn Lauder Lip Design Collection</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.esteelauder.com" target="_blank">Estée Lauder</a>, a proud supporter of <a href="http://www.bcrfcure.org/" target="_blank">The Breast Cancer Research Foundation</a>, will be donating $500,000 from their <a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/pinkribbon/" target="_blank">Pink Ribbon Collection</a> to this amazing organization.  The <a href="http://www.esteelauder.com/products/653/Product-Catalog/Makeup/Tools-More/Sets-Gifts/index.tmpl" target="_blank">Evelyn Lauder Lip Design Collection</a> features three full-sized pink hues&#8211;Candy, Rubellite, and Tiramisu&#8211;all neatly nestled in a pink crocodile clutch.</p>
<p>For only $25, you can help make a difference in the lives of other women and support <a href="http://www.bcrfcure.org/" target="_blank">The Breast Cancer Research Foundation</a> in its efforts to find a cure for breast cancer.  By October 2010, the Estée Lauder Companies will have raised $45 million since 1993 for this incredible Foundation.  Keep up the support one kiss at a time.</p>

Don&#8217;t forget to read the philosophy printed on the bottle which talks about the women affect by breast cancer.  It the ends with a resounding &#8220;she is you, she is me, she is&#8230;unforgettable.&#8221;</p>
<p>For $20, you get 16 ounces of pure, creamy bliss and you get to support  <a href="http://www.eifoundation.org/" target="_blank">The Entertainment Industry Foundation&#8217;s </a><a href="http://www.womenscancerresearchfund.org/" target="_blank">Women&#8217;s Cancer Research Fund</a>. 100% of the funds from this product (and their other pink ribbon products) are donated, so your purchase does quite a bit of good.  Not to mention, Philosophy has been teaming up with them since 2002, so they&#8217;re committed to the cause!</p>
<div id="attachment_856" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P202938_hero.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-856" title="P202938_hero" src="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/P202938_hero.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sephora&#39;s Perfect Ten Brush Set</p></div>

<div id="attachment_857" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 230px"><a href="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/WeCanDoItPink.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-857 " title="WeCanDoItPink" src="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/WeCanDoItPink.jpg" alt="" width="220" height="220" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Essie We can do it! Pink Polish</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.essie.com" target="_blank">Essie</a>, a go-to source for fantastic nail polish, has rolled out a great shade in honor of the 2010 Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  This shade is aptly called <a href="http://www.essie.com/products/search.php?action=search&amp;name=we+can+do+it+pink%21&amp;maxhits=1&amp;w=1" target="_blank">We Can Do It Pink!</a> and helps spread the message that we can find a cure for breast cancer one manicure at a time.</p>
<p>This sheer pink shade looks great on everyone and complements any outfit, so you can&#8217;t go wrong with this versatile polish color. Better yet, a portion of the proceeds benefit <a href="http://www.lbbc.org" target="_blank">Living Beyond Breast Cancer</a>.  LBBC is a non-profit organization that empowers women affected by the disease to live long, fulfilled lives.  Wear pink proudly on your nails and pass on awareness with every handshake.</p>
<div id="attachment_858" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 238px"><a href="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/jm_L07P_lrg.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-858" title="jm_L07P_lrg" src="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/jm_L07P_lrg.jpg" alt="" width="228" height="274" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jo Malone Red Roses Bath Oil</p></div>
<p>A luxurious bath that smells of red roses sounds pretty inviting, right?  Well, look no further than <a href="http://www.jomalone.com" target="_blank">Jo Malone&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://www.jomalone.com/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY6506&amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD6499" target="_blank">Red Roses Bath Oil</a> for an aromatic experience that can take your bath up a few notches.  Blended from seven types of roses, this bath oil has a clean scent that mimics a bouquet of red roses.  Buy it for yourself  or buy it for that special someone and indulge in its amazing scent&#8211;either way you can&#8217;t go wrong.  You&#8217;ll get 8.5 ounces of uninterrupted relaxation for $60.</p>
<p>By buying this bath oil in October, or any other Red Roses candle or cologne product for that matter, you&#8217;re supporting Jo Malone&#8217;s $20,000 pledge to <a href="http://www.bcrfcure.org/" target="_blank">The Breast Cancer Research Foundation</a>.</p>
<p>So just a reminder:  this October we should all remind our dates to skip the bouquet and bring this bath oil to our doors.</p>
<p>Think pink and indulge in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with these phenomenal beauty finds.  Check back for more pink ribbon October must-haves as we march our way into a very pink month.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_816" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 370px"><a href="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/clari.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-816    " title="clarisonic" src="http://makeluxurycount.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/clari.jpg" alt="" width="360" height="211" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Clarisonic Plus donates 50% of its proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation</p></div>
<p><a title="Clarisonic " href="http://www.clarisonic.com/us/" target="_blank">Clarisonic</a> has given their Sonic Skin Cleansing System a bright, new pink and red twist with this <a title="Clarisonic Plus" href="http://www.clarisonic.com/us/shop/sonic-cleansing-system-limited-edition.php" target="_blank">Limited Edition Clarisonic Plus model</a> for $250.  Partnering with the <a title="Susan G. Komen" href="http://ww5.komen.org" target="_blank">Susan G. Komen Foundatio</a>n, 50% of the proceeds of this specific Clarisonic will be donated to help the millions of women battling breast cancer.</p>
<p>So why the “Plus” you may ask?  Well, this model doesn’t just cleanse your face, but can also be used over your entire body.  The Clarisonic Plus lessens dry patches, gives you firmer skin, and provides a gentle exfoliation all in one tool!  Those with sensitive skin don’t have to fret, the brush is made for your specialized skin.  An added bonus for face and body:  this model is a phenomenal prep for self-tanner so you can look sun-kissed without damaging your skin in the sweltering heat.  Keeping your skin radiant can now happen with the click of a button…literally.</p>
<p>David Giuliani, the Co-Founder and CEO of Clarisonic, summed it up well.  He proclaimed, “We might be in the business of beauty, but one of the most rewarding parts of our business is to be able to give back and make a difference.”  By taking his words and purchasing this product, you can support your mothers, sisters, friends, and other women worldwide every time you cleanse your face or body.</p>
<p>I led a breast cancer support group in early 2010 and own another Clarisonic version that donates money to breast cancer research with every purchase.  See the pink <a title="Pink Clarisonic" href="http://www.clarisonic.com/us/shop/sonic-cleansing-system-classic.php" target="_blank">Clarisonic Classic </a>for mine.  Every time I wash my face, I think of the strong, incredible women I met at the support group and know that my colorful purchase will in part help to raise awareness and find a cure for breast cancer.  Go ahead, do the same for all of the special women in YOUR life and support a very worthwhile cause.</p>
