Thanks to the hundreds of you who shared inspirational stories as part of the StyleList Giveaway of a BaByliss flat iron in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Whether it was your mom, sister, friend or in some case yourself, it's clear that there are so many strong -- and surviving -- women out there.

We used to be so torn when it came to lip color.

With lip gloss, you have shiny smiles, good! But sticky lips, bad! Precise application with the wand, good! Having to reapply over and over just to get some color, bad!

Bare Necessities and Wacoal have teamed up to support breast cancer awareness and research. For every Wacoal Awareness bra or Wacoal Embrace Lace bra purchased at Bare Necessities throughout the month of October, both companies will donate $2 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

You know who needs a good dress? Mariah Carey. Don't get us wrong -- we love her, and girlfriend manages to pull of some outfits that would crush lesser mortals. But at times we fantasize about putting her something that's more wow than whoa!

November's W magazine cover will feature a breastfeeding Angelina Jolie, just imagine what kind of revealing pics are inside. Actually, we heard that the article and images are pretty tame -- so don't get too worked up. The photos were apparently snapped by Brad in August, as the couple took a break from the paparazzi at their French chateau. Honestly, we think Brad takes a pretty good picture -- though it can't be hard with a subject like Angie showing some skin.

Anyone who's been to a bridal shower has probably made at least one wedding dress or veil out of toilet paper. It's a surprisingly difficult material to work with, but in the hands of professionals, the results can be surprisingly pretty!

This adorably-cut, washed-out pin vintage-style tee is available from Lyric Culture ($90), and $25 from every sale goes to support City of Hope breast cancer research. The front says "I will survive" a'la Gloria Gaynor, with a lock and key design that draws on feminine symbolism and the female anatomy.

Denise Richards is a fan, saying:
"I am so excited to wear the "I will Survive" Lyric Culture tee shirt in support of Breast Cancer Research and City of Hope. Cancer research is vital in saving lives."

That may not be the most novel observation Denise has ever made, but we still like the shirt.

Lyric Culture has retro-chic line of clothing inspired by specific Motown and classic rock songs called Revolution. Some of the selections include Love Child, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, and Born to be Wild. Check out some of our favorites below!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, DuWop Cosmetics let us try out their BCA products (which you might have already seen here). They sent us a sample of their Limited Edition Liplingo Pink lip palette ($32) as well as their Limited Edition Pink Shimmer Brick ($18), both of which come in a sleeve bearing the names of women who have been affected by breast cancer.

First, let's talk lips. We are not generally big fans of lipstick -- we lean more toward the glosses. But, this lip palette is different -- the lipstick itself is a really natural shade of pink, plus, it's super moisturizing. Even better are the shimmery glosses that go over it. They feel fabulous and add just the right amount of dewiness and shimmer (not to mention flexibility) -- not too young or sparkly, just fun.

The Shimmer Brick also qualifies as fun -- it's really subtle, so you don't need to worry about looking like you're heading to a rave or anything. It works well as a highlighter on the cheek and brow, or the collarbone. Or, when used all over our face, it gave us a dewy look and helped to even out our skin tone.

That's me! I went to DEX New York, a salon and studio in NYC frequented by Tyra Banks, to get a $10 hot pink hair extension. 100% of the proceeds go to The National Breast Cancer Foundation. You should get one, too! It was totally painless, took about five minutes once I was in the chair, and they gave me a pink cupcake. If you're in NYC, this is a great way to participate in Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Read on to see how it looks!

More than 50 Madison Avenue retailers have joined together to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research with the ninth annual Pink Ribbon Project. And this year, the Project is introducing something new.

This year's Pink Ribbon Project has a website offering Pink Ribbon items created by participating retailers, momsshop.com, all of which benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, and The Mount Sinai Breast Health Resource Program.

Liz Hurley has worn a number of outfits we were sure would result in a panty flash or nip slip -- see the gallery below if you don't believe us. However, it was this seemingly innocent pink dress that betrayed her trust and showed her panties to a crowd of do-gooders.

Phoenix Fashion Week (PFW), which kicks off October 1 and runs through the 4, has aligned itself with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation to bring more awareness to the cause as well as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October).

There are definitely some fun events to be had to raise money for the cure but the best is the "Perfectly Pink" collection by 18 year old Emily Miller. Miller is the youngest designer to ever show at PFW but you'd never know it by looking at her designs. She gathers inspiration from cultures and styles the world over and infuses it with the hope she sees in those who fight for the cure every day.

Her collection is so good in fact, that Miller got a prime spot at fashion week. Her collection will show at the kickoff party at the Royal Palms Resort and Spa. All proceeds of the celebration will be directly donated to charity.
A good heart and an incredible fashion sense? This isn't the last we'll see of this girl!
