The beauty brand will donate 100 percent of the profits from three of its products to aid in cancer research

In the UK, ovarian cancer causes more deaths than all other gynaecological cancers - and it's the fifth most common cancer affecting women.

Now Laura Mercier is doing its part to help.

In honour of March being Ovarian Cancer Month, the beauty brand has announced the launch of the Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund.

The entire profits from three Laura Mercier products will go to the Ovarian Cancer Fund - and many of its suppliers and retailers have waived their fees and profits, as well.

The products that benefit cancer research are:

- Bonne Mine Healthy Glow for Face & Cheeks Crème Colour Palette – £37.00 - Kiss of Hope Lip Glacé – £19.00 - Matte Radiance Healthy Glow Baked Powder & Mini Face Brush – £24.00

The key to beating ovarian cancer is early detection. Make sure you know the symptoms. Got a tablet? You can now download Marie Claire magazine straight to your iPad for the new price of £2.99, Kindle (just search the store for 'marie claire magazine'), Nook or Google Nexus.
