Estée Lauder Dream Compact, $75

Here's something every gal needs: translucent pressed powder for on-the-go touchups. But this tiny compact is more than your typical boring black case. The multicolored lid is so pretty, you'll be excited to pull it out of your purse.

If that's not incentive enough, 100 percent of the sales of this compact go to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. (And no, that's not a typo: all $75 goes to BCA!)

I know my comment is late, but it is so nice to see the support from companies and from other ladies. My mom is fighting this awful disease and we are so grateful for all the support and feeling pretty while supporting the cause is great too.

I love buying beauty products in October because they go to breast cancer research and they're pink, my favorite color! I loved everything in this article.

Wow!!!! What everyone is doing is amazing & for a good cause

Wow!!! Estee lauder is donating all of its proceeds to breast cancer awareness??? That is amazing !!! I am also happy that some of the other company's are donating at least 20% & 50% of their proceeds to support the cause. To the company's that are donating only a dollar.... They can do better than that. They have eleven months out if the year to keep all of the money they earn & one month to show they care. Smh

I really think it's nice that coach id donating to such a great cause

by mzzr2u Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 05:50PM Report as inappropriate

I agree with evet, every one has to choose the cause they support. Most people have somthing that affects them selves or some one they love. Thats the cause thats important to tem. Our donations should go directly to the fund rather and a precentage of a sale.

Youngblood and Stila are the only ones that don't test on animals.

Donate to the cause! Avoid soy too. I despise Coach, but the set featured has some nice colors.

Why are these products a must besides that a small portion of the cost of the products is donated to help support breast cancer. I feel that if you want to donate to this cause that in the long run it would be cheaper to make your own donation for the cause. Is it so much more important to people to get a product before supporting breast cancer? I also believe that when Feburary rolls around that just as many products should donate to the #1 killer of women their HEART!

As my mother was recently diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, I will happily spend the $75 for Estee Lauder's compact to contribute to the cause.

nice products

by LittleBunny Sunday, October 7, 2012 at 11:12AM Report as inappropriate

I love the fact that cosmetic companies push for support for breast cancer and it would influence me to buy something I could afford to support the cause. I would love to see last month which was dedicated to ovarian cancer be supported in the same way. It is something which I personally want the message to be heard.

Where can I get the AVON nail polish? It looks so pretty!

I love that Nails Inc. hot pink glitter polish!

love the avon nail polish

A lot of makeup, including products from the companies that support Breast Caner causes, contain chemicals that are thought to have health effects, including some carcinogens. Check your products in the Environmental Working Group's database. It's pretty amazing. The best thing they could do is make their products 100% safe.

Estee Lauder would be proud that 100% of her compact is given back for the cause. I try to wear something PINK all month to remind people about Breast Cancer Awareness.

I guess its good to see makeup do their part in fighting breast cancer, but everything is sooo pink.

The dream compact is just so cute!

The cause is great, can't agree on the products.

Nice selection of products for an amazing cause.

Shiseido's Lacquer Rouge in Disco is too yummy! So good to see the industry across the board taking part. Now, let's do something about ingredients...
