Recently, it came to my attention that their are still several beauty products that do animal testing. (OMG terrible) Also, many brand name labels contain animal-infused products.
Their are many companies now that have made alternatives to animal-infused products by using plant-based or mineral-based ingredients. These are also better for your skin! Many plants and minerals have the properties to help heal and keep your skin soft.
Their are several vegan and cruelty free beauty brands that I enjoy using in my daily beauty routine. Remember, not all cruelty free products are vegan so always check their website or the product information. If you would like to see a complete list of beauty brands that are either cruelty free and/or vegan, you can check out a full list on PETA’s website.
Here are some of my personal favorites:
1. Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Glamour101- very popular line! They offer tons of unique and bright colors. This color is perfect for fall! (buy here and here)
2. NCLA Nail Laquer in Laurel Canyon Lolita- also another well-known line made in Los Angeles. They sell nail wraps too. (buy here)
