Glam Slam: The Friday Five

Here are five things on our radar in October.

SPEND TO SAVE…
…lives. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and there are dozens and dozens of ways to get in on the act in all price ranges. Shiseido is donating $5 from the sale of every Luminizing Lip Gloss in Pop Life to non-profit Cancer and Careers, which helps working women living with cancer. $22 at www.shiseido.com. Arcona Skincare is also donating to Cancer and Careers, giving $2 from the sale of each Magic Pink Ice hydrating gel during the month of October. $38 at www.beauty.com.

WICKED MAKEUP
Mac and Disney have teamed up for a makeup collection inspired by some of Disney’s most fierce female villains- yes I’m talking to you Cruella De Vil. Check out Venomous Villains Lipglass in Revenge is Sweet and Eye Shadow in De-Vil, love the clever names! www.maccosmetics.com

STYLISH READS
Shoe guru Manolo Blahnik (who is one of the nicest men ever, btw) has a new book of his signature shoe sketches called “Manolo’s New Shoes,” available October 12. “Edith Head: A Complete Treasury of the Fifty-Year Career of Hollywood’s Greatest Costume Designer,” is loaded with more than 350 images. Both are available at www.amazon.com.

MULBERRY SPICE
British luxury brand Mulberry gets the cheap chic treatment from Target. The Mulberry for Target collection, an eight piece line of bags, is in stores October 10 – December 31. The hot pink leopard bag is fun and on-trend. Prices start at $14.99.

TRICKS AND TREATS
It’s Heidi Klum and Seal’s favorite holiday and every year they go all out for their famed Halloween bash. Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Snooki are big costumes this year. I’ll probably skip the meat dress, but one Halloween tradition I never miss is watching, “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” which airs on ABC.
