I've been waiting to post about Sephora.com's
Breast Cancer section because I was hoping they were going to add more products. I must say, I'm a little disappointed with them this year. Last year, in addition to a number of individual products created by individual cosmetic companies, Sephora created three sampler packages featuring a whole slew of products (mostly in pink). The lip gloss sampler that I got last year was amazing. Unfortunately, they sold out so fast that I wasn't able to get another one. So what's the deal? Why didn't they do this again? Obviously it was a big seller if they couldn't even keep them in stock through October. Now that it's the 11th, I've given up hope that they will introduce these items again. Either way, there are still a number of great products to purchase with prodceeds going to Breast Cancer charities.

For an interesting twist on the topic of the "pinking" of breast cancer awareness, there are three articles I link to from my website, http://www.honestmedicine.typepad.com, that I think you might like to read.
To access these three articles, please go to the links on the left side of my site, and look under “articles of importance."
1)"Welcome to Cancerland: A Mammogram Leads to a Cult of Pink Kitsch," by Barbara Ehrenreich. A classic.
2)"Chemo Concession" (contains some surprising information about the chemotherapy industry)
3) “Vaccine Against Cancer,” about a really interesting cancer treatment being used by a doctor in Germany.
All three articles will give you another perspective on the “think pink” phenomenon. I hope you will find them informative. Thanks very much for giving them a look!
Sincerely,
Julia Schopick
