pink beauty from Japonesque

Japonesque, the brand known for creating some of the best beauty tools, is pretty in pink this month, joining the fight against breast cancer.

take a look at these beauties...

to keep those tips {and toes} looking gorgeous, the Manicure Kit is pretty and oh-so practical. top-quality manicure tools come housed in a protective, vibrant pink carrying case and includes tweezers, nail clippers, nail nippers, nail and cuticle scissor, combination nail file, nail grooming tool, and nail scoop.

since brows are the frames of our eyes, the Brow Kit is perfect for keeping them in the best shape. includes precision crafted tools, using only the highest quality materials to create your best look. the tweezer has a hand-filed tip for perfect alignment and precise hair removal; brow powders and wax define brows; brow gel finishes the look, keeping brows in place all day and night.

Touch Up Tube 5 Piece Travel Brush Set is encased in a sleek pink tube designed for portability as well as  protection. includes a brush for foundation, lips, blush/powder and two eye detailers. all brushes feature a short matte wand for superior control. i love these! they're ideal for your purse, gym bag, desk drawer and of course, as a gift!

unlike traditional curlers that can pinch or break lashes with pressure {ouch!}, the Heated Mini Eyelash Curler lifts and curls the lashes with heat. unbelievably gentle, this eye-opening tool can be used before or after mascara application. the all-in-one design is battery powered {one is included}, slipping neatly into your pocket or purse.

go pink with Japonesque ~ every product is fabulous and $1 of each pink product sale will be donated to breast cancer research. visit japonesque.com to find retailers near you.

Pink Products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month: NKOTB Tank

New Kids On the Block are back (and better than ever if you ask me) and every girl (well, i guess...now we're...women), ages 25-35, is ecstatic (at least i know i am). what's even better is their support in the fight against breast cancer and finding a cure.



band member Danny Wood lost his mother to the disease.

"a lot of the women coming to the shows need to be aware of early detection. they’re in that age from 25-35 where they need to get their first exams," Danny tells PEOPLE. "that was the problem for my mother. by the time she found out, it was too late- and i don’t want that to happen to anyone else when it could be prevented."

the tank is being sold for $35, with all proceeds supporting Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Danny, who chose the charity says, "they’re the best foundation i've worked with. i've done their races in the past and i know it’s something my mom would have wanted."
