How to make a switch to Cruelty-free products?

Instagram

Happy Friday!! Do you have any plans this weekend?😀 My plan mostly involves planning my upcoming vacation to Europe. Arghh planning can be stressful right!?😞 . Do you love traveling✈️ like me? Have you ever wondered how you would carry all your favorite makeup items on your travel without occupying half you cabin/backpack? . @wooshbeauty has solved this problem! It was started by 2 friends with a passion to find makeup products/tools for everyday professional women! They have some really interesting on the go products like the fold out face palette, eye liner tool, flex and curl mascara etc. Their products come in travel friendly sizes(yes, including the makeup brushes) which makes it so convenient to carry them with you anywhere you go. . @wooshbeauty is PETA Beauty Without Bunnies certified cruelty-free🐰, paraben free and fragrance free. . @wooshbeauty kindly gifted* me their famous fold-out face palette, flex and curl mascara and lip gloss. This is a quick 5 step palette which has eye shadows, perfectors, contours, blushes and blenders. I love how the palette displays all the steps. This palette comes with mini numbered brushes that helps you understand what brush to use where. My palette missed the number ½ brush. So, I added one of my brushes to the kit. . Recently, I had an after work event I had to go to. So I carried my fold-out face palette with me to do a quick touch up and rush. It was so easy to use and I like how the makeup lasted for hours. Best part was, I just had to carry my @wooshbeauty kit and I was good to go!😀 . Stay tuned for a full review and details about @wooshbeauty on my blog soon! It’s definitely be added to my database of crueltyfree brands too!🙌 . Have you tried this brand? What makeup products do you carry with you on travel trips? . . . . #wooshbeauty #makeuppalette #eyepalette #eyeshadowpalettes #concealers #travelmakeup #everydaymakeup #consciousbeauty #greenbeauty #greenbeautyblogger #cleanbeauty #crueltyfreecosmetics #crueltyfreebeautyproducts #veganbeauty #veganbeautyproducts #veganskincare #naturalbeautyproducts #veganlifestyle #greenbeautyproducts #greenbeautycommunity #greenbeautylover #crueltyfreebeauty

Before, I started doing IG and blog, I never really gave facial oils a chance. I always stuck to using face moisturizers. Now, that I have tried a handful of them, I am so in love with them esp the ones that are quick absorbing and balance the pH of your skin. Even now, I am very careful with anything that I put on my face. So, I look for oils that are non-comodogenic ie, that don’t clog your pores.😀 . With that said, here’s one of my new favorite from @zojabeautyco. @zojabeautyco is a female owned, small batch vegan, cruelty-free skincare company, founded by @sarakaitlyn . In an attempt to finding a skincare line that is toxic-free and natural, Sara started this wonderful all natural brand @zojabeautyco. She kindly gifted* me this floral facial oil and dirty hippie cleansing balm(review coming soon!) to test and review. . 🌼𝔅𝔬𝔥𝔬 𝔊𝔩𝔬𝔴 𝔉𝔩𝔬𝔯𝔞𝔩 𝔉𝔞𝔠𝔢 𝔒𝔦𝔩: This facial oil is a concoction of jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, plant-based squalene oil, hibiscus with a blend of lavendar + myrhh essential oils. I am not sure if the scent is dominated by Myrhh, it definitely has a bit of a pungent smell which I am not a fan off. It doesn’t really bother me that much and only smells slightly strong when you open the bottle. But it may be concerning for anyone who is sensitive to strong smells. . 🌼This oil comes in a nicely packaged glass bottle. I have been using this oil for past few weeks now and I love how light-weight and quick absorbing it is. And I love that it’s non-comodogenic which is perfect for oily/combination skin like mine. I also use this oil as my moisturizer during the day at times and it doesn’t make my face greasy. I can see that my skin is also softer and well balanced. . 🌼This oil is reasonably priced around $28 and I can definitely see myself repurchasing it once I am done. Overall Rating: 8/10 . Are you a fan of facial oils? How often do you use them? Btw can you guess the flowers used in this pic?😉 . . . #facialoil #facialoils #facialtreatment #faceoil #faceoils #moisturize #toxinfree #consciousbeauty #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty #naturaloils #greenbeauty #crueltyfreebeautyproducts #veganbeauty #veganbeautyproducts #veganskincare

Late #texturetuesday #pinkwednesday post😂. I have been so busy with work lately, haven’t been getting time to post regularly.😞Sorry about that, I plan on getting better and being more organized. . Today, I want to introduce you to this wonderful capsule collection skincare. @forestrhapsodyskincare is a female owned, small batch vegan🌿, cruelty-free🐰 skincare company, founded by CJ Zhan. Even as a kid, CJ loved creating her own tinctures and elixirs. During her pregnancy, CJ experienced hormonal cystic acne which led her to search for gentler alternatives. But after trying out multiple failed skincare products, CJ decided to formulate her own capsule skincare collection which focuses on using key plant-based actives.🌿 . @forestrhapsodyskincare has a 3 step(cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate) skincare products Opening this package was a total treat. All the products come in gorgeous glass♻️ packaged bottles with various aromatic scents and the packaging itself has a nice forest/farm touch to it. . Today, lets review the exfoliate phase - thousand petals flower acid resurfacing mask($75). . I particularly love how natural the ingredients in the mask are. This mask is a beautiful blend of various fruits and flowers like apple, orange, sugarcane, lemon, jasmine, hibiscus with a hint of bergamot + lavender. And the texture of this mask is super smooth. . The eco-friendly glass packaging is so cute and let’s you repurpose once the product is done. . The mask itself smells heavenly and it applies pretty smooth. You can leave it on for 15 mins and wash off. Everytime I used it, it left my skin soft and moisturized. I love everything about this mask except the price point. It seems a bit steep for around a 2oz of product. . Have you tried these products before? What are your thoughts? . . . . . #forestrhapsody #facemask #facemasks #facemasktime #facemaskorganic #moisturize #exfoliate #consciousbeauty #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty #purple💜#greenbeauty #crueltyfreebeautyproducts #veganbeauty #veganbeautyproducts #veganskincare #naturalbeautyproducts #veganlifestyle #greenbeautyproducts #greenbeautycommunity #greenbeautylover #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreeskincare

Sorry for the late mothers day post, I was out spending all day with my mom 😀 - Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms and to be moms out there! Hope you had amazing plans yesterday!! . I usually just wish my mom over the phone. But this, year, I am so happy she’s here with me to celebrate this wonderful day! I got to spend all day with her and did all her favorites things.😀♥️ . Speaking of mothers day, on Saturday, I went on a hike by the mountains close to my house and I was so happy to see these beautiful creatures actually living their life. I know they may still have the same sad fate in the end. But at least they were out in the fresh air and weren’t stuffed in cages or hooked up to machines. My heart was filled with joy as I watched the cows grazing happily, moms caring for the tender ones and the young calves frolicking around the farmlands. . But sadly, not all farmed animal moms get this opportunity. 😞So, I want to dedicate this mother’s day post to all the forgotten moms, separated from their babies, exploited and deprived of motherhood. By now, everyone knows how sad animal industry is and how ill-treated animals are just so our palate can be satisfied. Diary, meat industries are so bad that a day old calves are stolen from the moms so it can either be made veal or sentenced to the same sad fate as their mothers. . In this world where you can be anything, choose to be KIND. This mothers day, I ask you to choose consciously. You could start by: 🐷 Not paying for cruelty 🌿Learning where your food comes from 🐰Choosing cruelty-free options 🌱Switching to vegan lifestyle 🐮 Saying no to accessories with animal products . . Live and let live! . . #mothersday2019 #animalmoments #animalmoms #veganmom #cowmom #farmedanimals #consciousliving #consciousbeauty #cleanbeauty #veganfoodblog #veganlifestyle #veganism #plantbaseddiet #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreeskincare #organicbeautyproducts #organicbeauty #greenbeauty #organicbeautyproducts #greenbeautycommunity #veganskincare #animalphotography #plantbased #ethicalpixie

Happy almost friday!! This week was pretty tiring at work. I am so glad for this week to be done.😆 . Today, let’s chat about ⋆` 🎀 𝐿𝐼𝒫 𝐵𝒜𝐿𝑀𝒮 🎀 `⋆ I feel like lip balms are one of the most essential piece of skincare you could own. I always keep losing my lipbalms and magically finding them when I least expect. But as I keep losing them, I also keep stocking up on new ones. So, at this point, I have so many that I just drop one in each handbag, jacket pocket, work, car etc.😂 . I recently came across this cruelty free lip balm brand - @moroccanmagic . Have you heard of them? They kindly *gifted me a 3 piece lip balm set to try out and review. I love how all their lip balm flavors come in twos😃. My set contains - Lavender Vanilla🌱, Mint Eucalyptus🍃, Coconut Almond🥥. . @moroccanmagic lip balms are a blend of various plant based oils like sunflower oil, argan oil, coconut oil and a mix a essential oil extract. . For someone with dry and chappy lips, these lip balms are pretty moisturizing and their various flavors taste delightful. They provide hydration for hours. I keep atleast one of these balms on my night stand and use them every night. And I love that they provide enough hydration so my lips are not dry when I wake up. . I haven’t heard of this brand before they reached out to me. But, this brand is widely available in drugstores like @target, @walgreens, CVS etc. . So, far my favorite flavor has been lavender vanilla. Which one would you pick!? And what’s your current favorite lip balm? . . . . . #moroccanmagic #indiebeauty #consciousbeauty #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty #veganism #plantbased #ecobeauty #greenbeauty #crueltyfreebeautyproducts #veganbeauty #veganbeautyproducts #veganskincare #naturalbeautyproducts #veganlifestyle #greenbeautyproducts #greenbeautycommunity #naturalbeautyproducts #veganlifestyle #greenbeautylover #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreeskincare #organicbeautyproducts #bayareablogger #targetmagic #lipbalms #chapstick #ethicalpixie

Happy #pinkwednesday ! Hope your week’s going pretty good. I already feel like it’s the end of the week that I started planning for the weekend 😂, ahh so exhausted. . Finally getting my pink in this wednesday!😃Today, let’s review this luxurious body oil from @lani_hair. Have you tried it? . I have been using this wonderful oil for a month now, so here’s the full review. . 𝑰𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔: This body oil is a luxurious blend of almond seed oil, coconut oil🥥, baobab oil, moringa oil, ylang ylang oil with a hint of camellia🌿. Did you know that there are so many different varieties of species in Camellia and that some smell like lemon, some like anise and some like jasmine!? Whattt? *mind blown*😆 This tropical body oil actually smells like jasmine🍃. For a while, I couldn’t figure what that flowery scent was. @lani_hair correct me if I’m wrong, but I am still guessing the flowery scent is Camellia.😃 . 𝑷𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒆 & 𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈: @lani_hair is known for their packaging, I mean look at it! This gorgeous coral colored reusable glass bottle♻️ is so beautiful, reminds you of the tropics! This beautifully hand crafted body oil is priced around $20 for a 3.5 oz bottle which is totally reasonable. . 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒔: I used this oil every day right after my shower for around 5-6 weeks now and I am almost done with my bottle.😃This oil is quick absorbing and light weight. I like how it’s not greasy but at the same time very moisturizing. I will definitely be stocking up for the next winter!😂 Overall Rating: 8.5/10 *products gifted for my honest review* . . . . #lanihair #lani #consciousbeauty #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty #veganism #plantbased #ecobeauty #greenbeauty #crueltyfreebeautyproducts #veganbeauty #veganbeautyproducts #veganskincare #naturalbeautyproducts #veganlifestyle #greenbeautyproducts #greenbeautycommunity #greenbeautylover #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreeskincare #organicbeauty #organicbeautyproducts #cleanbeauty #plantbasedproducts #ethicalpixie

Hi everyone, today’s #texturetuesday, I want to introduce you to this fantastic brand! @cozimsogood is a female owned, small batch, cruelty-free🐰 and vegan🌿 skincare company founded by Susan. So Good began in Hong Kong out of a lifelong struggle with problem skin and search for solutions. Living in a generally hot and humid climate, it is a fairly challenging environment for maintaining good skin. So Susan set out to find a good plant based🌱alternatives that tackled everyday skin problems. Thus, so good botanicals came about in the spare bedroom of a Hong Kong apartment! . Susan kindly *gifted me the glow skin set which includes the nutritious youth serum, nourishing coconut + germanium face & body polish and a cute bamboo mask bowl. This set is simply gorgeous! (Checkout my stories for the unboxing video.) . 𝑪𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒆 & 𝑩𝒐𝒅𝒚 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒉: This face and body polish is a luxurious blend of various plant oils🍃, raw sugar, shea butter and jojoba oil with a touch of egyptian germanium + virgin coconut🥥 oil. As soon as I opened the jar, my bathroom was filled with the delectable scent of germanium. . ℙ𝕣𝕚𝕔𝕖 𝕒𝕟𝕕 ℙ𝕒𝕔𝕜𝕒𝕘𝕚𝕟𝕘: This beautiful polish comes in a eco-friendly glass jar and is priced about $40 for 100ml. Let’s talk a bit about the packaging - this body polish comes a frosted glass♻️ jar feels really luxurious. And I love how the company asks you to reuse♻️ the jars once you are done with the product.😀 Also the plastic used in their packaging is recycled and reused. This brand definitely took more than a step forward in making sure they are eco-friendly!🙌 . ℝ𝕖𝕤𝕦𝕝𝕥𝕤: I used this polish once every week for the last couple of weeks now and every time, it left my skin really soft and moisturized. And my skin smells really good right after. Love how the scent lingers even after couple hours. It definitely buffs away the dead skin and softens the skin. When I use this after my evening or weekend workouts, it puts me to bed right after.😃 . Have you heard of this brand before? How often do you use body polish/scrub? What’s your favorite so far??😃 . . . . #bodyscrubs #bodypolish #coconutskincare #bamboobowl #

Happy Sunday! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! . My week was super hectic, so tired all weekend. I was trying to catch up on IG and all the wonderful posts I missed all week. But IG is still messing with my account.☹️ Earlier my old posts just randomly went missing, now my posts don't even show up on hashtags. My engagement has been terrible😢 Really hope it gets better soon! . Anyways the best part of my weekend was using my #sustainableliving safety razor. @lisseshave . . Did u know around 2 billion plastic razors are thrown away each year just in the US!? These disposable razors and blades can't even be recycled. . Now, I m so glad to find an Eco friendly sustainable alternative, the safety razor from @lisseshave. . . 𝒮𝒶𝒻𝑒𝓉𝓎 𝑅𝒶𝓏𝑜𝓇: I finally got to use this gorgeous rose gold beauty couple times now. I love how the weight of this razor is so well balanced. This razor comes with a double edged blade which makes it easy to hold and use. When you are shaving, make sure to not put too much pressure. The blade is sharp enough that just a slight swipe on your skin removes the hair completely leaving your skin really soft. . 𝒮𝓌𝑒𝑒𝓉 𝒞𝒾𝓉𝓇𝓊𝓈 𝒮𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝒪𝒾𝓁: This essential oil based shave oil comes in a gorgeous glass packaged travel sized(100ml) bottle. The shave oil is a blend of multiple oils - coconut, jojoba, sweet orange and verbena. The sweet orange citrusy smell is so invigorating. Just use 3-4 pumps on to your hand and rub it into your skin. Wait couple mins and then shave away! . You can get your own set now! Head over to @lisseshave and sign up for her pre-launch on Monday, May 6th! . *Gifted #lisse #lisseshave #safetyrazor #razorcuts #saynotoplastic #noplastic #ecofriendlyliving
