Shop Pink, Part 1

October 1st marks the start of Breast Cancer Awareness month, and many brands participate by creating or marketing certain products as Pink products. Our motto at Temptalia is: if you Need Pink, why not Shop Pink while you’re at it?

Shop Pink when there’s something you need/want, but if you find yourself just wanting to support the cause, the best way to raise awareness and support the cause is by donating directly to the charity of your choice (whether it’s time, money, beauty products, clothes, etc.). Purchasing Pink products always helps, too, but consider donating directly if all you want to do is support the cause. (You can also join us in our fundraiser, too!)

We’re just going to tell you about Pink beauty products, but there are plenty of brands across the retail market, from cereal to socks to lipstick, that are also joining in and raising awareness and donations.

Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Yay Aveda! Ive been an Aveda hound for – Holy crap – About 15 years now. They do try… (Most of their cosmetics kind of suck, but I like their lipsticks).

And that Hand Relief is the best hand lotion ever! Love it! Now everyone go out and buy it! LOL 😉

Oh! If you try it, let me know if you like it – I love it, but it IS heavy (you just need a little). I don’t think it’s AS greasy as Lubriderm, but it’s probably close (I like heavy lotions though). Plus is smells REALLY NICE! Sort of an orange-lemon-cream kind of a smell.

Hmm… Now I want to go buy some. I’ve been out for awhile!
