Another Round of Pretty Philanthropy Part Deux

The old saying, "put your money where your mouth is," is never more prevalent than every October.  October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Therefore ladies, let's put our money where our pretty mouths are.  Numerous cosmetics lines and companies are having limited edition products for the cause which amounts to millions of dollars for research.  These products have varying price points so we can all contribute something.  If anyone knows of more products, please post a comment with any additions.
