My Top 5 Vegan - Cruelty Free Beauty Products (Of The Moment)

These are the top 5 products that are getting much love in my beauty arsenal right now. These are all products I plan on buying again once I run out! They are that good!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara   - When I saw this pop up in the Sephora webpage I ran out and bought it. I have been searching for a great mascara since the whole China thing came onto the scene. This mascara delivers a nice black inky color and impact. The only problem is it is a bit messy - or at least the excess always ends up on the tube...but it really is not a huge problem. I just need to wipe the tube and pull the wand out carefully.

Cosmic Bath and Beauty Blush in Sweet Cheeks: Perfect color that gives me the perfect pink cheek look. It blends well, not to shimmery (as in obnoxious teen cosmetic glittery) but  enough to get me glowing. The color gives my cheeks a nice healthy summer glow that will come in handy in the winter months - which I am already dreading!

Fergie for Wet N Wild Eye Shadow Primer:  This stuff is freaking amazing! I was skeptical at first - because most primers just do the minimal for my oily lids and I still have smudges and color transfer. This stuff makes me a eyeshadow primer lover! Once applied - the texture is nice, I can feel a velvety smoothness compared to other more watery primers of the past. The primer really gets everything to stick in place, no more creasing and my black liner stays crisp and clean all day long! Get this product now!

Gnarly Whale Beach Waves Spray in Thai Coconut:Simple ingredients that make dirty no wash hair days into big wavy delight hair days!


Out of Africa Lip Balm in Strawberry: I just got this lip balm in. I was picking Mar up some kitty shampoo and came across this product and had to try it - after all everyone needs a handful of lip balms in their bag right?It is a large tube - perfect for slathering on your lips. The flavor is not sickly sweet or artificial - which is not always a bad thing but I know some people dig on a more natural flavor. So if you like your balms more natural - this is for you. It is very moisturizing and goes on super smooth. 

Do you have any favorite products right now? Let me know - I am always looking to try new things!

Beer Hair!

Through some lucky-luck* I scored a free bottle of Duffy's Brew shampoo and conditioner within weeks of each other. I have been loving the products since I first tried them. This is not my first time with beer hair care but what makes these products unique is that they do not have a hops-yeast-beer smell. They smell like a tropical vacation (or so what I have been told a tropical vacation smells like) - coconut and sunshine. My hair is shiny and the scent lingers all day long - even in between washings!
Each bottle has a unisex vibe to it. 100% vegan, SLS-Free & Phthalate -Free, loaded with good for your hair stuff and of course contains beer. Even if you do not like beer you will like this shampoo!

*they had a promo survey and a email promo going on their FaceBook page that let me score these goodies!

Fresh Hair

I don't wash my hair everyday - the process of blow drying my hair, taking a flat iron to it and then teasing it is too much to do on a daily basis. So in between shampoos I use Paul Mitchell's taming spray. It is a detangler for kids - I even use it on my wet hair to get the comb to glide through.

ash days I just spray a bit in my hair and brush it through. It lets my hair smell fresh and gets out any knots. The bottle lasts a few months since you do not use a lot, just a few sprays - the goal is to freshen not drench! I buy this at Ulta and the bigger size is still only around $10.
