If you follow me on Instagram you may have noticed that I've started to go cruelty free. I have decided that when I buy make up, skincare, haircare etc, I will not purchase from companies that test on animals.
I am obviously new to buying cruelty free, and for now I will continue to purchase from companies that don't test but their parent company does (NYX, Body Shop, Nars, Urban Decay etc). I know a lot of people don't agree with this but I don't want to dive in at the deep in and end up giving up.
Eventually I want to aim to only purchase 100% cruelty free and vegan products, but for now I'm starting with the basics.
I went shopping a couple of weeks ago and popped into M&S, Boots, Lush, Superdrug and TKmaxx to check out their cruelty free brands and products. It looks like a lot but I did get the majority of this in the sale or on special offer!
In Superdrug I stocked up on my favourite cleansing wipes and also bought a new deodorant.
I picked up this Tuscan Hills Powder Brush from TKmaxx. I love the natural style of this brush and cannot wait to try it out!
I've been a massive fan of the cruelty free brand B. ever since it came out in Superdrug. I believe that they're changing the style of their packaging so all of these products were discounted!
The B. palette was only £2.99 so I couldn't resist. I also found the Hard Candy palette in TKmaxx for £3.00 and I can't wait to try it out. I went into M&S and picked up the Pixi Copper Peach palette and I am obsessed!
Also in M&S I had a look at the new Rosie for Autograph Make Up Range. As soon as I found out her products were cruelty free and had rose gold packaging, I knew I had to buy a couple of items! I'll be doing a full post on these soon.
I love the Barry M Speedy nail polishes and when I saw there were four new shades out for spring, I had to have them! They were also on special offer. I also went into Lush and got this lip balm. It's of course cruelty free and also vegan!
Last but not least I ordered this NYX concealer from Boots and also this Sleek eyebrow gel. I later found out that Sleek are not cruelty free so I returned it for a NYX one.
I hope you enjoyed my first cruelty haul!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear you're trying to buy more ethically, it's so great when people become more aware and try to make a difference :-)
ReplyDeleteyou've picked up some stuff that I've been wanting to try for a while so I hope you write a post on your thoughts! Just so you know Sleek are indeed cruelty free and many of their products are vegan.
