My Cruelty Free Routine for Adult Acne

Before we get started: Sadly, a handful of these brands are no longer cruelty free due to buy outs or expanding to the Chinese mainland market.  As I run out of their products (which I often buy in multiples), I will find new, cruelty free products to replace them.  Items that are not cruelty free will have some sort of alternative offered in their description.  Also, many of these items were gratis from my work.  This does not effect my opinion on them; if it works, it's here.

Please note: Shortly after writing this post, I found out that Kate Somerville had been bought out by Unilever.  Sadly, she is still a cruelty free brand, but her parent company is not.

Phototutorial: Pink Bow Ties.

I was inspired to this tutorial because of a Makeup Forever Labshine t-shirt I have.  I know, that doesn't really make a lot of sense, but these are the colors on the shirt, and that's what I wanted to capture, even if I didn't use Makeup Forever products to do it.

In today's tutorial, I use Tarte's Lash Primer & Gifted mascara, MSC pigments Adipose, Hello Sweetie, Bow Ties are Cool and the Silence, MSC Optimus Primer, and the Too Faced 3-Way Lash Lining Tool.

Phototutorial: MSC's the Bride

Today's look is inspired by the fact that I have yet to meet a Madd Style Cosmetix green that I didn't absolutely love.  Seriously, it's a fact.  The Bride arrived in the mail and it was love at first sight.

Mail time: Plant Fusion Vegan Protein Powders!

I wasn't expecting to be doing a blog on this today, but the package came & I was too excited to not share this right away with you guys!  I recently spoke with Scott of Plant Fusion to inquire about their protein powder.  I'd heard a lot of great things and wanted to try the different flavors before I bought a tub because something like Chocolate Raspberry sounds great in theory, but can go terribly wrong in powder form, haha.  I am excited to say that he went above and beyond with this package!  I can't wait to try all of the flavors out & give a full write up because I know a LOT of protein powder users feel the same way about flavors as I do.. "could be good, could be very, very bad."
