Clinique Great Lips, Great Cause Lipstick Set

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Having a Mom who is a Breast Cancer Survivor, I am always on the lookout for products that support the fight against Breast Cancer all year long. October is always great because more companies release special edition products with a larger percentage being donated to Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns. I will do my best to post as many of these products as I can.

Clinique has released its Great Lips, Great Cause Lipstick Set exclusively at Sephora. Featuring Colour Surge Butter Shine Lipstick in limited-edition Ribbon Pink, this set includes a super cute shimmery silver lip stick case. I absolutely love the color name. It’s available for $16.50 with $10 being donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for each sale.

The reviews are mixed on this product. Some feel that there are chunks of glitter in this lipstick that makes it uncomfortable to wear. I really don’t have a problem with the flecks of glitter in this product. The fact that this is a lip stick and not a lip gloss seems to control the amount of glitter that actually is applied to your lips. What I mean is that with a gloss, the fact that your scooping out a liquid and slathering it on your lips allows for chunks of things to be applied to your lips. Does that make any sense at all? Either way, how can you pass up this limited edition set when $10 dollars will be donated with each sale?
