Cruelty Free Skin Care Faves

Attention all animal lovers & compassionate souls: the cruelty-free skin care and beauty brands have grown SO much in the past couple of years.  While it used to be tough to find products that aren’t tested on animals, today it’s totally possible, you just might have to look a little harder. While i’m not huge in to make up (pretty much because I don’t know what i’m doing with it hahah, beauty bloggers send help pls), I do care about skincare. After going vegan last year, I decided to make the change in other aspects of my life as well. While obviously I wasn’t going to waste anything I already had, I used the products up until they were done then searched for new cruelty free options.

Luckily,  i’ve stumbled upon some amazing products & brands in my search. My fave new brands to name a few are Colourpop, ILNP, Lush, and IT Cosmetics. Knowing that they their products are made with ingredients that are good for the environment, good for the earth, and good for the animals is something i’m happy to support.  Because of all this, I’ve rounded up some of my Cruelty Free Skin Care favorites that work brilliantly without having to test on our furry friends.

1. ColourPop Brow Pencil

My favorite eyebrow pencil ever!! Works so good and is so inexpensive.

2. ColourPop Lippie Stix

Love these & have over 25 of them hahah, they stay on forever and come in really fun colors.

3. IT Cosmetics Celebration Foundation SPF 50+

Best foundation evaaaaa. It’s so light but really covers well.

4. Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

Perfect for chapped winter lips! I use this before bed every night + it tastes great.

5. It Cosmetics “Your Skin But Better”

While i’m not huge on make up this stuff is perfect for covering any blemish you have. When acne strikes, this stuff really comes in handy! It genuinely makes your skin look perfect.

6. ILNP Nail Polish 

Such cool colors and never comes off. Also has amazing chrome colors that look like a salon mani without even trying. Would highly recommend, 10/10.

7. It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizer

I use this stuff every single day! It’s a great moisturizer and I love it even more knowing that its made with quality, natural ingredients.

8. Lush Cosmetics Aqua Marina Facial Cleanser

I use this every night and love it. It feels so good on my skin and really cleanses it.

9. Lush Salted Coconut Hand Scrub 

Just like the bubble gum lip scrub, this is great for chapped / dry hands. It also smells bombbb.

I hope you guys try out some of these products & fall in love with them like I am! Let me know if you have any other favorites that I should try. Enjoy.
