L’Oreal Paris Color of Hope Cosmetics Bag Aids Ovarian Cancer Research

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but it is also a time to support another nasty killer of women: Ovarian cancer. L’Oreal Paris is once again offering a great value that helps to raise funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). The Advice Sisters love the limited edition, Color of Hope Makeup Bag $29.95 (plus shipping).

Inside a satiny, mint-green, zippered, makeup bag, (with inner pocket and an outside, zippered pocket) are four special edition, specifically chosen, L’Oreal Paris Color of Hope makeup items.

My favorite piece is the special, “Color of Hope” Infallible Lip Gloss in a shimmery, deep mauved-pink that is universally flattering. Even better, every time you take out the lip gloss to apply it, you will see the teal “Color Hope Hope” logo, to remind yourself, and anyone else who sees it, that ovarian cancer is still not a vanquished enemy. Infallible Lip Gloss was one of my “must-haves: during Fashion Week. The product wears well for hours, and won’t dry out your lips like some long-lasting lip products, tend to do.

I also like the “Color of Hope” Colour Riche Lipstick, in a brushed metallic, mauve/pink case, with gold accents. The lipstick is slightly frosted, moist and sexy in a medium mauve/pink that works with complexions from light to dark.

There are also two wonderful Wear Infinite Eye Shadow Quartets, with the Color of Hope logo emblazoned on the clear plastic compacts. “Petals of Promise” features three shimmery, light to dark shades of trendy purple/plum, and one shimmery soft gold highlight. Also modern, pretty, and wearable, is the “Bouquet of Strength” quartet, featuring medium and deep teal, soft taupe-y bronze, and the same, golden highlight as in Petals of Promise.

Know the Signs & Symptoms – A woman’s best defense against this terrible disease is to know there are identifiable signs and symptoms L’Oréal Paris has developed www.lorealcolorofhope.com as a one-stop resource for information pertaining to ovarian cancer.
