OCTOBER is Beast Cancer Awareness month, splash out on your favourite beauty buys and donate to a good cause at the same time.

QVC has been supporting Breast Cancer Care since 1999 and in that time has donated more than £5.3million to the charity.

The channel's annual Be Aware Show You Care live broadcast on October 7 raises awareness and money through offering a wide selection of dedicated products such as Stila Positively Pink Duo (Blusher and lip glaze set), £13, with £10.40 from every sale donated to charity.

The blush is a delicious warm toned rosy pink, inset with a pale pink highlighter shaped in the charity ribbons. And the Lipglaze is a shimmering sheer pink in the Stila pen applicator with the click bottom and a brush for easy and precise application.

Another great buy on QVC is the Elemis Jasmine & Rose Milk Bath Duo, £35.95, with £29.96 donated to charity.

A unique skin softening formula, rich in nourishing oils and softening flower milks for an aromatic, sensorial bathing experience. It is packed with argan oil and is rich in Vitamin E to improve moisture retention, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth.

Both are also available on www.qvc.co.uk.

Meanwhile, the Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness campaign has brought the issue to the world's attention, helping to save countless lives in the process.

To date the collective brands under the Estee Lauder umbrella have donated nearly £30 million to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and raised more than £7 million to further education and medical research through local organisations worldwide.
