October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And while there are many ways to get involved-runs, walks and the like are prominent during this time-many beauty companies are getting in on the action. Proceeds from some of the top beauty products are going to various charities to support the cause-organizations such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation are just a few of the many who will benefit from these partnerships. Below are Teen Scene's 22 picks for this year.
