In an effort to eradicate breast cancer, many charitable companies have graciously stepped up to assist in battling the disease by offering special "pink" products. Proceeds benefit research, prevention, awareness and beyond-in the hopes that one day soon breast cancer will no longer be a threat to women. Here, we offer a look at the latest styling tools and products to go pink.

Intense Therapy will rejuvenate and protect hair while shielding it from
harmful UV rays.

Beauty Bus Foundation, an organization that aims to deliver dignity, hope and respite through beauty and grooming services.

Boom Boom Push-up Brow highlighting pencil to The

For a bit of shine and to mask dark circles, users can dab the sparkly side of the pencil on the inside corner of the eye.
