If you’re in the market for a beauty product, it’s time to think pink at the tills. From hairspray to nail polish, you can go top-to-toe with the colour to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month throughout October.

Every year, 50,000 people in the UK are told the devastating news that they have breast cancer, so these limited edition products go a little way to fighting the disease and raising awareness.

Give your bathroom shelves a pink-over for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
