Skincare | Superdrug Refreshing Face Scrub

When it comes to skincare I like to keep it simple and cruelty free, so I tend to stick to Superdrug's skincare range as I know they will always provide me with what I want. I was browsing there clearance section and came across a facial scrub for 30p, as it was apart of there own range I knew it would be what I needed so I purchased it and was not let down.

Beauty | Faith In Nature Shampoo Review

One of my biggest struggles going cruelty free was trying to find a shampoo that didn't harm my scalp, as I have a dry skin condition this has been one of my biggest struggles even when I wasn't cruelty free. However it was suggested to me that I try out the Faith Shampoo from Holland and Barrett, for just £5.50 I picked up a bottle of there fragrance free shampoo.

Beauty | My Cruelty Free Makeup Routine

I made the decision to go cruelty free around 6 months ago now and have felt good every since I made the choice, for me it just felt normal to not harm animals anymore so going cruelty free was a good choice. I understand why people don't as it took me a while to find products that actually worked well for me and looked good but now I have my make up sorted I wanted to share an updated what's in my make up case for you.

Lifestyle - Going Cruelty Free

I made the decision this year to go cruelty free with my beauty products as a challenge to myself and also to better the world. I would normally buy products cause they worked well or I liked the scent and I also had a false knowledge that cruelty free brands were to expensive so I wouldn't be able to afford there products. Such as Lush and The Body Shop amazing brands that sell some fantastic products both cruelty free however £5+ for body wash and a shower gel for me is to much and to expensive so I had this false idea in my head I couldn't afford the products.

Lifestyle | Brands That Shocked Me For Being NOT Cruelty Free

On Friday I did a post on my favorite brands that are cruelty free which you can view here and today I wanted to write up a similar post on brands that I thought would be cruelty free but there not.

Lifestyle | Cruelty Free Brands I Use

It's always good to make some right choices in life and I feel one of them is to go cruelty free for makeup and beauty items I use in my everyday life, I wanted to share with you my most used brands and which ones I love to buy from. This list may seem short as I'm only listing the brands I know and love and not all the brands, this is because I don't want to share any information that may not be right.

Cruelty Free Brands

I am going to be honest and say I do my best to buy from cruelty free brands but do slip up on some occasions but I've learnt over the last few years which brands are cruelty free and if I can find a product I like from one of these brands I will do. So today I wanted to share with you some brands which are cruelty free and also the best way to spot them.

The best way to spot if a product is against animal testing is to look for the little bunny on the product, if you find one then it's cruelty free and doesn't test on any animals which is always good. Another thing to look for on a product is the little recycling symbol which is normally three little arrows following each other which is great if you want to recycle the product once you have done using it.

Flutter My Way - So Susan Flutter Mascara Review

I got this product in the recent pop art Glossybox and have fallen in love, it's everything I love and need in a mascara and will be needing a new one soon as I've been using it none stop over the last few weeks.

The packaging is so simple and sweet it's spot on for me, the rose gold tube with simple black writing is classic and chic but the added bird design on the top of the tube really sells the product for me. It's a normal sized tube with an easy to use wand although it's a lot smaller and more sturdy than some mascara's which I found much easier to use as I could reach all my lashes to create a bold look.

The mascara went on well and wasn't to thick but create a nice thick mascara look, I only needed one coat to create a dark black look. I also found it dried quickly so it didn't get onto the top lid of my eyes and didn't leave any marks which really impressed me.

The one thing I wasn't excepting from the product was the scent it's kind of fruity almost like a watermelon scent which impressed me a lot as it's completely different from all the other mascara's I've tried making it stand out. The product is £14.95 which is perfect for such a nice product, it's cruelty free and has no harsh ingredients making it wearable for contact lens wearers.
