Once upon a time (in 2004 to be exact) a group of very wise girls made the rule that on Wednesday's We Wear Pink. Okay, so maybe they weren’t the wisest bunch, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t totally on board with a day devoted to one of our very favorite colors. Here in 2017, millennial pink has reigned supreme, but we’re here to remind you that all things pink—especially when it comes to beauty products—deserve a little love. And that’s precisely why we’ve rounded up ten of our favorite pink beauty products to make every Wednesday just a little bit brighter. Enjoy!
