Pink is the word – contribute to the cause when you purchase these products in October
Lazada Loves Pink Campaign
Neon pink, pastel peach, bright fuchsia. No matter what shade of pink you like, for each item you buy, 50 cents will go to the Singapore Cancer Society. And it’s not just for the ladies. Spread across all 13 product categories, the campaign features everything from branded fragrances to study tables to comfy cushions to adorable toothbrush holders.
Available at www.lazada.sg/lazada-loves-pink until Oct 31.
Pazzion loafers
The local brand prides itself on being a strong supporter of the Breast Cancer Foundation (BCF) since 2013, designing limited edition footwear every October to raise funds for the cause. This year, it goes for pale pink loafers in soft lambskin, and 30 percent of the proceeds will be donated to the organisation.
$73. Available at all Pazzion stores until Oct 31.
Soap Ministry Ladysaver Soap
These pretty, petite roses handcrafted by the local artisanal soap-making brand are chock full of organic goat’s milk and rose essential oil. Each is embedded with a little waterproof reminder to do regular self-checks for a better chance of early detection – after all, this is the most common form of cancer plaguing Singaporean women. Created by breast cancer survivors and supporters through BCF’s Healing through the Arts programme, the soaps come in a lovely gift box, with profits set aside to advocate more awareness initiatives.
$80 for a box of 12. Available at Soap Ministry Liang Court and www.soapministry.com/bcf while stocks last.
Under Armour Women of Will Campaign
The brand’s global campaign for a healthy lifestyle reaches our shores just in time to raise awareness for breast cancer this month. Its Power in Pink series – which consists of tank tops, tees, headbands and a tote emblazoned with empowering slogans and the recognisable pink ribbon logo – donates 10 percent of sales to BCF.
And ladies who spend a minimum of $120 at the shop (including purchasing a Power in Pink item) get a limited edition Women of Will badge, access to Under Armour’s partner gyms and an invite to the Women of Will event at Capitol Piazza on November 7, where there will be mass workout sessions of yoga, pilates, outdoor cycling and bootcamps.
$17-$55. Available at Under Armour stores, Takashimaya and Robinsons The Heeren.
