Team Pink Eye Project Week One

Welcome to the first week of The Team Pink Eye Project!

First and foremost we want to say thank you to everyone for volunteering and donating their time and, in some cases, products/proceeds for this very important cause. We are hoping throughout this month to raise $1,000.00 for Susan G Komen Positively Pink for the Cure to aid in the fight against breast cancer.

Currently we stand at $138.00, thanks to generous sponsorship by Candy's Sweet Treats and Glamasauraus (who still has some lovely hair pins for sale to benefit TPE), as well as donations from others.

Throughout the Fridays of October join us as we celebrate Positively Pink with some of our favorite bloggers and shops. At some of the blogs listed below you will find giveaways and/or special products for sale with proceeds to TPE sponsored by Silk Naturals, Darling Girl Cosmetics, Lost in Makeupland,  RockaBetty Beauty, RagDolls Bath and Beauty, Unique Pigments and Overall Beauty. Details on how to enter are below.

Without further ado our first round of Team Pink Eye participants!

That's about what you'd spend for a single pot and you could win a prize valued up to $30.00! Make sure you comment on the giveaways you'd like to be entered in with the name you donated under (there's a space on the site so you can donate using a nickname) and an email address we can use to contact you if you win. Giveaways run from the time they are posted until 10 PM CST Sunday 10/9/11.*

Remember to check back every Friday for more great looks and chances to win!

*Giveaways are sponsored by Team Pink Eye and respective sellers. Susan G Komen is not sponsoring the giveaways. All procceeds collected for the giveaways go directly to Susan G Komen Positively Pink for the Cure.

Participant feature - Cinnamon Cosmetics

We decided it's getting close enough to the date we've set for finishing up which blogger blogs when and who gives away what to start featuring participants. This will be both a preview of the companies participating, and a preview of the giveaway prizes you'll be seeing throughout October! First up is:

Cinnamon Cosmetics

Cinnamon Cosmetics is previously known as Cinnamon Candies, but recently went through a namechange.

Candace from Cinnamon Cosmetics is not only donating proceeds from sales to our cause,  for the Sirens collection, found here, and here, but she is most generously donating one of the collections for a giveaway in October.
