Beauty that gives back

NYX Celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 13, 2010

As you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and NYX cosmetics is giving back in a beautiful way. NYX is offering a discount on their makeup and they will also donate 10% of all sales tot he Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

I lost my aunt to breast cancer and 3 of my aunts have been diagnosed with breast cancer so this is a cause that really hits home for me. I encourage everyone to purchase NYX cosmetics during the month of October to give to a cause that helps so many women around the world.
