Hi babes,
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great and relaxing first weekend of October! One thing I love about October here in Los Angeles, is that all the pumpkin patches open up early and the leaves fall of the trees and change to pretty colors. Another thing I love about autumn, is the return of my favorite Starbucks drink PSL’s! Fall is my favorite time because it’s all about pumpkin spice lattes for me. I also love Halloween too, it’s fun to be festive too!
Anyways back to today’s post! Today’s blog post is a beauty post on my ten favorite cruelty-free beauty high end/drugstore beauty products! ! I love these beauty products because they worth all the hype and they do NOT test on our furry friends! I always make sure my make up is vegan and cruelty-free because animal testing is not okay for any cosmetic! I love all animals so much, and I save animals from being testing in make up laboratories by purchasing cruelty-free make up and other beauty products such as hair, nails, and skincare as well! One tip: Whenever you are buying make up or any other beauty product look for the vegan or cruelty-free leaping bunny or symbol on the back of the packaging so you know it is truly cruelty-free! Here in California our governor just passed the law that animal testing is banned here! The law will begin in 2020, and 2020 cannot come soon enough! It is finally time to stop being so inhumane and cruel to our furry friends! There are no more animal tested products being sold! They are finally banned and illegal to sell here in the golden state! Below, I listed all ten cruelty-free beauty products for you to check out. Most of the shades I listed are the ones that I use for my skin tone, but all of these brands have a great variety of different skin tones to match your skin color up too! Enjoy!
1. Favorite Cruelty-Free Beauty Product #1 Anastasia Beverly Hills Blush Trio (In the shade Pool Party High End)- I love all of Anastasia Beverly Hills make up line! ABH is my favorite high-end cruelty free make up line. All of her make up line looks great on all skin tones and it is on the affordable side of high end makeup. One of my favorite cruelty-free blushes is her blush trio kit in the shade Pool Party. I love this blush kit because you get three different blush shades and it looks great on all skin tones! It’s a gorgeous blush trio to wear from your daily make up routine, to doing a full face glamorous look! Another thing I love about this blush is that the colors are fully pigmented. You can also layer more than one shade for a multi-dimensional, naturally flushed look. I 10/10 recommend purchasing this at Sephora!
2. Favorite Cruelty-Free Beauty Product #2 NYX Cosmetics HD Studio Photogenic Concealer (In the shade Porcelain Drugstore)- This is my go to concealer! I swear by this concealer, because NYX Cosmetics is my favorite drug store make up line! All of NYX’s make up is cruelty-free and it is such amazing quality for a drugstore! NYX will not break your bank and it is worth all the hype! I love this concealer by NYX, because it effectively covers imperfections, discoloration and under-eye circles without ever looking cakey or obvious. The result is beautiful, natural-looking coverage you can count on! I love that it is full coverage, and it always blends in beautifully with my Beauty Blender! Whenever I first tried it out I was blown away but how stunning it covers your under eye circles and how well it blends in with your foundation! I 10/10 recommend stocking up on this concealer and oh did I also mention that is only four dollars at CVS! You can also purchase NYX Cosmetics at Ulta Beauty as well for a few extra dollars but the best price you cannot beat is at CVS! Go out now!
3. Favorite Cruelty-Free Beauty Product #3 Ouai By Jen Atkin Hair Oil (High End)- I love all of Jen Atkin’s Ouai hair care line because it is cruelty-free and it works great on all hair types and they are great products to use if you have keratin treatments in your hair like me! They help maintain your hair treatments and make your hair strong and shiny! One thing I love about this Ouai hair oil is, that it is a lightweight, multitasking oil that fights frizz, prevents heat/uv damage, and delivers a high-gloss, super-smooth finish to all hair types. You can also use this to style hair if you hair is damp or dry! It can be used any way to style your hair the way you want. It gives your hair that smooth glossy fresh out of the salon look! I put a dime sized amount in my palms after I straighten my hair to smooth my lock and ends out for shiny hair! Ouai can be purchased at Sephora. I 10/10 recommend!
4. Favorite Cruelty-Free Beauty Product #4 It’s A 10 Miracle Leave In Conditioner Plus Keratin (Drugstore)- It’s A 10 has always been my go to haircare line. I have keratin in my hair, and it always makes my keratin lasts longer and it helps build shine and hydrates my hair leaving the dull pieces behind! I love this leave in conditioner spray, because it also beats out frizz! This leave in conditioner plus keratin also is a lightweight, deliciously smelling conditioner penetrates deep into the hair shaft to rebuild dry and damaged hair from the inside out. It is also made up of hair’s most important nutrient, keratin, is a powerhouse of rejuvenation and can be used straight out of the shower as a detangler or as a heat-protectant spray! I 10/10 recommend and it is great for all hair types!
5. Favorite Cruelty-Free Beauty Product #5 Glossier Milk Jelly Cleanser (High End)- I am obsessed with Glossier’s Milk Jelly Cleanser! I love this cleanser because it is light weight and it leaves my skin feeling soft, refreshed, and clean! It is a great face cleanser to use on all skin types and it is a gentle cleanser as well! Use this cleanser on dry skin to dissolve away makeup and grime, or on wet skin as you start your day. The pH-balanced, creamy gel formula is made with a blend of five skin conditioners so your face is left feeling healthy and soft, never tight. Its cleansing power comes from the same gentle cleaning agents found in contact lens solution, so it’s tough on impurities and still safe to use on your eyes. You’ll see! I 10/10 recommend
6. Favorite-Cruelty Free Beauty Product E.L.F. Cosmetics Eyebrow Kit ( In the shade Medium Drugstore)- I was surprised to learn that one of the most budget-friendly beauty brands, e.l.f., is cruelty-free and carries a large number of vegan products. I am currently loving this eyebrow kit from E.L.F., because whenever I am looking for a very natural eyebrow product this is my go to drugstore eyebrow product! I do not fill in my brows ever, but whenever I am going for a full face glam look I’ll lightly fill in my brows with this amazing eyebrow kit! It creates brows that are fuller, thicker, and more defined! The pigmented wax defines and shapes brows and the color complementing setting powder keeps them looking arched and perfected. The doubled sided taklon brush has one side to help arch your brows while the other side aids in filling them in. This duo provides lasting color definition for a naturally beautiful look! Get ready for your brows to be on fleek! 1 10/10 recommend!
7. Favorite Cruelty-Free Beauty Product #7 Butter London Nail Lacquer (In the shade Teddy Girl)- I love all of Butter London’s nail polishes to wear whenever I am getting my mani/pedi done.

All of Butter London’s Nail Polishes make your mani/pedi last up to two weeks without chipping! Now that is worth your dollar! I 10/10 recommend getting your nails done with a Butter London nail polish next time you are at your nail appointment!
