My Top 10 Favorite Cruelty-Free Makeup Companies

When I decided to commit to being fully vegan, I went through all of my makeup products to see how many of them were actually cruelty-free.

Surprisingly enough, I found that some of my favorite brands are not only cruelty-free, but vegan as well, making me feel a lot better about the makeup I am using!

For those of you wondering, the reason why buying cruelty-free products is so important is because innocent animals such as bunnies, cats, and even dogs are forced to sit in cages and have products tested on their skin; eventually leading to infections and more often than not, death.
 *Any company that sells its product in China is automatically not cruelty-free as it is required by law in China to test on animals. 


On that note, I am going to share with you my top 10 favorite cruelty-free makeup companies :)
Products are in order from most affordable to most splurge-worthy.
  1. e.l.f. Cosmetics
  2. NYX Cosmetics
  3. EcoTools (The BEST vegan makeup brushes!)
  4. Physician's Formula
  5. Bare Minerals (Note: although they are considered cruelty-free, some of their brushes contain goat hair, so always opt for the synthetic brushes!)
  6. Kylie Cosmetics (all products are vegan & cruelty free except for the Kylie Lip Kit in shade Candy K).
  7. IT Cosmetics
  8. Josie Maran Cosmetics
  9. Urban Decay
  10. Lush Cosmetics

Do you guys own any products from these companies? 
What are some of your favorite cruelty-free brands?

Let me know in the comments! :)

My New Diffuser! | NOW Ultrasonic Bamboo Diffuser Review

Recently, my $15 essential oil diffuser broke, so I figured it was time I make an investment (kind of). I started searching online and was looking for something sophisticated, yet not too abstract. My last diffuser started to look a little dingy, so I wanted something that was higher quality. Many of the diffusers I found online had some type of bottle neck, or vase shape ---- both of which I did not want. I liked the cylinder style, so I found a few that I liked and read some reviews to help me make my decision. The one I ended up getting was the  Now Foods Ultrasonic Bamboo Diffuser ! *This is a cold diffuser that maintains the essential oil properties through a cool mist, as opposed to a heat diffuser which will break down the goodness in the oils* The body has a bamboo finish, and has a small band on the top that displays a rainbow of colors if you put it on the light setting! I like this diffuser because it is pretty customizable. You can change your settings depen...

Favorite Summer Products | Cruelty Free

This summer, I have been loving all the fruity products that I can get my hands on! From all natural face masks, to cruelty free hair products, I have been so in love with all the new items I have been trying! I have heard so much about Korean skincare, and how revolutionary that it can be for your skin, so I did some research and found Frudia ! Frudia is a Korean skincare company whose products are filled with natural fruit juices and extracts, giving you the essential nutrients you need without all the chemicals! I picked up the Green Grape Pore Control Mask , at my local Ulta, and it is super hydrating while also tightening pores! I also met with the founder of  MopTop Hair  while at the Natural Food and Product Expo West this past year. She was so sweet and sent me home with a few samples and I was automatically obsessed with not only the delicious smell of the products, but the way it made my hair feel! The Mongongo Oil  smells amazing and hydr...

My Favorite Vegan Winter Drink

Even though California weather can be very unpredictable, it has been rather cold the past few weeks! As the temperature drops, my daily tea intake increases substantially (even though I already drink an unhealthy amount on normal days).  Some of my favorite teas are chai and earl grey, with a touch of cream. Lately, I have been warming and frothing my cream which is a total game changer! This  Sur La Table frother is similar to mine, and not too expensive either :)  With all that said, my go-to drink this winter has been a cacao chai tea latte! ♡ Starbucks mug from Disneyland Resort Anaheim  ♡ Simple Vegan Cacao Chai Tea Recipe: Ingredients -1 tsp loose leaf chai tea -1 tbsp organic cacao powder -1 tbsp coconut sugar or agave -3 tbsp non-dairy creamer or milk -dash of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice Directions -Prepare loose leaf tea in an infuser and place in mug with cacao powder -Pour almost boiling water into mug an...
