Happy Mother's Day + Sonia Kashuk face palette- spring awakenings

Happy mother's day everyone! My mother, aunt, and I celebrate my mother by having lunch at a really yummy vegan restaurant. The food was soooo good! And best of all, cruelty free. For dessert, I had a really good vegan strawberry shortcake.

For mother's day, I got my mom a Sonia Kashuk face palette in "spring awakenings". She has been wanting to buy herself some new makeup for a really long time, so I thought it would be something nice to get her.

It was $20 at target. It came with a bright peach glitter blush, 5 nuetral eyeshadow colors, and 3 lipglosses. It was really conveniant for my mom because she could just close it up and throw it into her purse. No additional cosmetic bags needed.

So after that amazing vegan meal and gift opening, we just went home and relaxed. My mom and I both put on a facial mask, too.  I will hopefully have a full review on the mint masque in another post!


Happy Mother's Day!

Say no to animal testing!

So I am really into beauty products but I am also a vegan who wants to be cruelty free. I honestly think that you can find products that work just the same but without the guilt. Here are a couple lists of makeup, beauty, and hair companies that don't test on animals and ones that do.

Companies that test on animals:
L'oreal (garnier fructis)
Maybelline
Covergirl
Nivea
Aussie
Herbal Essence
Vera Wang perfumes
Dove
Clean and Clear
Nuetragena
Rimmel
Lancome
Pantene

Companies that don't test on animals (Yay!):
Revlon (I am a big supporter of revlon because they actually switched over to the good side)
Milani
Paul Mitchell
TRESSmee
Stilla
Mac
OPI
China Glaze
Essie
Too Faced
Urban Decay
Bath and Body Works
The Body Shop
Lush (they have some vegan products too!)
Sugarpill
Gabriel Colors (also vegan :)

Basically, just say NO to animal testing! Is it really neccesary for an innocent animal to get dangerous rashes, poisoned, become blind, injected with harmful chemicals, and tortured to death just so you can get that really pretty lipgloss? Nuh-uh.
