In Recognition of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

I appreciate that so many beauty brands support various causes. Most donate a portion of  the sales of this or that product to charity. When I found out that Laura Mercier is donating 100 percent of the profits from the sale of  Bonne Mine Healthy Glow for Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette and Rose Hope Lip Glacé to the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund, which was unveiled this month, I had to spread the word. Both Laura Mercier and the company’s President and CEO, Claudia Poccia, have been touched by the disease: Laura through a dear friend, and Claudia through her sister. I had to share this as it is such an incredible donation that they’re making.
