Welcome


Welcome to my blog! 

I have always wanted to write a blog of some sort however, the topic was something I was unsure of. Because of working at The Body Shop UK I have now got a huge passion for supporting cruelty-free brands and only using cruelty-free products. Lot's of companies claim to be cruelty-free but to be safe I tend to only buy products which display the leaping bunny logo that cruelty-free international introduced. I personally feel that animal testing for cosmetic products and cleaning products is unjustifiable and shouldn't be necessary.

Animal experiments include:

  • injecting or force-feeding animals with potentially harmful substances 
  • exposing animals to radiation
  • surgically removing animals'organs or tissues to deliberately cause damage
  • forcing animals to inhale toxic gases
  • subjecting animals to frightening situations to create anxiety and depression.
The silly thing about animal testing is that alternatives not involving animals are often cheaper, quicker and more effective! 

The purpose of my blog isn't to force people into buying cruelty-free brands but to show people alternative options! This may also be a place where people who are actively seeking reviews or recommendations of cruelty-free products will go. I will be reviewing anything and everything from mascara to toilet cleaner! 

If you are interested in signing the Body Shops petition to get animal testing on cosmetics band worldwide you can sign it here.

For more information on animal testing check out the cruelty-free international website here.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and hopefully you will visit again soon! x

Cheap and Cruelty-free!

Superdrug's B. Pure Micellar Water  A lot of people make the assumption that buying cruelty-free products is a lot more expensive and that can be the case especially with brands such as Burts Bee's , Lush etc. However, a lot of affordable brands have made their own products cruelty-free such as Waitrose , Marks and Spencer and my personal favourite SUPERDRUG ! I love Superdrug with all my heart (apart from their loyalty cards, literally what do I get out of that thing?) their products are ridiculously affordable and are actually good! All Superdrugs own products have the leaping bunny logo and often are vegetarian and vegan.   For a year or two, I have been using the Garnier Micellar water for sensitive skin. Unfortunately, Garnier is owned by L'oreal who do test on animals, therefore, it was time for me to find an alternative. It's a shame because when you find a product that really works for you it becomes a staple part of your skin r...

Glorious Glow!

Himalayan Charcoal Mask - The Body Shop  Face masks are always a nice way to treat yourself after a stressful week, especially between essay writing and stressing about exams. I'm always slightly cautious with masks in case they cause my skin to react therefore I always recommend testing a mask prior to the first use. The Himalayan Charcoal mask from The Body Shop is an amazing addition to your weekly skincare regime particularly if you suffer from oily or spot prone skin. Containing Tea tree, Green Tea and Charcoal this mask leaves you feeling detoxified with a healthy youthful glow. I adore this mask because it has the most gorgeous smell and works really well to stop my skin from getting so oily! Because the Bamboo Charcoal used in this product is Red Pandas food The Body Shop help to replant it and keep this endangered species from going extinct.  I use this product weekly in the evening after removing my makeup but before anything el...

Weirdly Satisfying

I'm back! Liquid Peel I know it's been a while but Uni took over my life a tad so unfortunately I just couldn't find the time to fit in any blogs. But I'm back with one of my favourite Body Shop Products! Drops of Youth Liquid Peel Exfoliating has always felt like a pointless chore to me, especially when it comes to my face as I can rarely see the benefit straight away. This was until I tried the Drops of Youth Liquid Peel. It's amazing to see a product work straight away so when I first tried it I was surprised and kinda grossed out. The liquid peel is part of The Body Shop's anti-pollution range and is made with 3 plant stem cells, Edelweiss, Sea Holly, and Criste Marine.  The peel gently traps and peels off impurities, pollutants, and dead skin cells which reveals healthier looking skin straightaway. I have been using this product for over a year and I wouldn't consider any other exfoliator! The product is completely  vegan and cruelty-...
