Pamper yourself while helping others by picking up some heavenly bath and body products from the C.O Bigelow Cancer Vixen Collection. Proceeds from this limited edition line go to the The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. These cute and pink spa products were inspired by famous New Yorker and Glamour magazine cartoonist, Marisa Acocella Marchetto’s book, Cancer Vixen. The book tells the story of when this self-proclaimed “big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life” battled and defeated Breast Cancer. The collection features C.O Bigelow body cleanser, lotion, and hand wash in Wild Berry, and Lip Tint in Pink Mint. Get all of these fabulous products in the Cancer Vixen Kit for $29.50, and your copy of the book ($22) at C.O.Bigelow or Bath and Body Works.

I’ll be the first one to say that I was initially frightened by the ultra-bright shade of the Shiseido Accentuating Color Stick in rosy flush, $32 Sephora. I confirmed with a Shiseido makeup professional that it was indeed the right color for me (I am extremely pale), before I applied it, crayola-crayon style, to my face. The results: lets just say I had the best glow that I’ve had in years, and the color amazingly blended right in. Since then, I have pretty much abandoned my old blush/bronzer go-to product, for this wonderful invention!

We get a bit scared of products that can potentially turn our skin blotchy — and orange. This Santa Tanita Body Bronzer by Urban Decay ($28, Sephora) comes in mousse form, which is an interesting, and in our opinion, helpful way to apply self-tanner. Its foamy, not streaky, and is easy to apply, with virtually no mess to worry about afterwards. Plus, it doesn’t give a super-dramatic color change, the color is gradual so that you don’t go into the office pasty as Elmer’s glue one day, and with an extremely tropical glow the next!
