Go cruelty-free!


http://www.crueltyfreekitty.com

I came across a video of a monkey that was used to test cosmetics. That poor monkey! I did some reading and that really opened my eyes. Why did I just now realize what a serious and horrible issue animal testing is?! Animal testing for cosmetics is cruel. Torturing and killing so many animals just for makeup and skincare is unnecessary. I understand why it was done in the past, but now in the 21st century it shouldn't be allowed anymore as the industry has evolved so much.

I made a decision to no longer support the brands that test on animals, which are most of the brands that I find in stores. Of course I'm not gonna throw out all of my products, but from now on I will buy products only from cruelty-free brands. Change is necessary.

This amazing blog Cruelty-Free Kitty has a lot of information about the issue, a list of all the good brands and guides to buying cruelty-free products.

I also made a little list of cruelty-free cosmetics brands.

  • Amika
  • Catrice
  • Colourpop
  • Dr. Hauschka
  • E.L.F.
  • Essence
  • GOSH
  • Lily Lolo
  • Lumene
  • Lush
  • Madara
  • NYX
  • Paul Mitchell
  • Pixi
  • REN
  • Smashbox
  • The Body Shop
  • TheBalm
  • The Ordinary
  • Too Faced
  • Urban Decay
  • Wet'n'Wild
  • Yes To
Hopefully in the future animal testing will be banned and we can all enjoy beauty without torturing animals.

Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch - Review

Image
With long-awaited summer approaching, I thought it's only appropriate to write about sun protection. Sun is still extremely harmful for your skin, in case you forgot, and applying SPF daily is recommended for a reason. So if you don't want to look 20 years older in the next 10 years with wrinkles and dark spots, I'd suggest you get on it asap. I religiously apply SPF, so using one that is great for my acne-prone oily skin is of high importance. Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50+ Dry Touch  I always opt for and suggest buying SPF from a pharmacy, because most of the products sold are high quality and sensitive enough that they shouldn't cause any issues. This time I decided to try the Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch. This sunscreen is also supposed to be water-resistant, colourant-free, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. The formula is enriched with soothing active ingredients and antioxidants (like vitamin E), so your skin should be happy. T...

pHformula A.C. Recovery and P.O.S.T Recovery Cream - Review

Image
So I went to a cosmetologist for the first time in my life to seek help with my acne struggles and well facials alone don't fix the issue. She gave me these two products by a brand called pHformula. This brand's products can only be bought from a professional, who has a license to do their treatments and sell their products. Which means that these products are to support the skin after the treatments and between facials. As my cosmetologist said, the skincare regimen at home is a lot more important than facials, so if you can't afford facial treatments regularly, then invest in your skincare routine. A.C. Recovery is like a treament type of serum. It costs about 61€ and contains tons of acne-fighting ingredients including mandelic acid, niacinamide and salicylic acid. This special formula should help renew and support the skin while recovering. I have been applying this twice a day, at night I pump a tiny pea-sized amount for my entire face and in the morning I jus...

Inika Organic Loose Mineral Foundation SPF25 - Review

Image
This product deserved a separate post, because it has been here for me for almost two years and I couldn't be more grateful. My cosmetologist swears by Inika's products, saying they're a bit cheaper alternative to Jane Irendale. Currently I own two of these mineral foundations and one travel-sized version.  The first shade I purchased was Unity P1, which was a bit darker than my natural skin tone, but it was perfect for summer. The travel-sized foundation is shade Unity N1 and I can say that they are quite different. The P1 is more pinkish (hence the P) and for me it seemed a bit lighter, while N1 seems darker with its more yellow undertones. The second time I bought a shade lighter Grace P1 that is my perfect match. Inika Organic Loose Mineral Foundation SPF25  I love that this powder builds, so you can choose what kind of coverage you'd like. For those simple days I like to just apply a bit on my more problematic spots and any redness areas. If my skin is looking bett...
