Team Pink Eye Project EOTD and Giveaway!

Team Pink Eye Project is a collaboration project between bloggers and indie makeup companies working to bring awareness to breast cancer and to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month. In our efforts to raise money for the Foundation, several of us are holding giveaways on our blogs. You can find the link of participating blogs and giveaways by clicking here and that'll take you to Team Pink Eye's blog.

Right now we're working towards a goal of $1000 and we're a little over a 1/3rd of the way there. Hopefully this week will push us towards our goal! All the giveaways are sponsored by Team Pink Eye and the sponsoring shop.

If you don't want to enter a giveaway, you can also purchase several pink-themed products from different indie companies (Check the list of participating shops on Team Pink Eye's blog). In addition to doing a giveaway, I am also doing a look to help with awareness.

I was super inspired by this makeup look on BoA in her Game music video. Here are links to pictures of the look. I adjusted the look a little bit to suit my eye shape.

Eyes:

ELF Mineral Eye Primer

MAC Goldenaire pigment on the lid

Wet n Wild Crease shade from the We're Blasting Off Trio in the crease and lower lashline

Physicians Formula Eye Booster Liner in Deep Brown on the upper lashline

NYX White Eyeliner on the outer eye in the triangle and a bit on the waterline

ES A66 Eyelashes (from KKCenterHK, review coming up soon!)

Maybelline The Colossal Waterproof Mascara in glam Brown

Maybelline Great Lash Clear Mascara through the brows

So remember, try to do a self exam on your breasts at least once a month and see your doctor if you're worried about any changes. Be mindful of when you examine yourself, the best time is 2-3 days AFTER your period, not during your period. If you're not sure of how to do a self exam, take the time to watch this video to see a more light hearted perspective on self exams.

Keep in mind that women aren't the only ones that can get breast cancer, men can too. Men may only account for 1% of cases but it doesn't mean those 1% are any less serious than the other 99% of women with breast cancer. Awareness has done a lot to help catch breast cancer cases early and there's a lot more we can do to work towards a cancer free future.
