Hello friends!
Last month’s (admittedly small) beauty haul resulted in the addition of two beautiful cruelty-free products to my growing collection! If you would like to read more about my stance on cruelty-free beauty please check out my two previous posts; Cruelty-Free Beauty Haul Part I & II. Here are the two latest additions to my makeup bag:
Kat Von D Lock-It Setting Powder
If you have read my previous cruelty-free beauty posts, you will know I am a huge fan of Kat Von D Beauty. After purchasing her Lock-It foundation and tattoo liner, I was converted and have never looked back. I have long sought after the Lock-It translucent powder, constantly checking Sephora both online and instore to no avail, so when I finally got my hands on it I was over the moon! Although I have only owned it for just over a week, the powder really does not disappoint. It goes on smooth, has a beautifully natural finish and keeps your makeup set all day – even while walking around a hot city (my ultimate test!). The setting powder is also vegan and (obviously) cruelty-free!
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
Physicians Formula is a cruelty-free brand listed on PETA’s list of companies that do not test on animals. According to Cruelty-Free Kitty, the brand “does not conduct any tests, or commissions any outside facility to conduct tests that involve the use of animals”.
Upon learning this, I could not resist in trying some of their products. The night before my morning flight to Melbourne last week, I dropped my trusty bronzer which shattered everywhere, so when I arrived in the city I immediately set out to find a Physicians Formula stockist. From my research, I found out that the brand is sold in select Priceline pharmacies so off I went to get my hands on a brand new bronzer. I settled on the Butter Bronzer as it appeared to be the same shade as my old bronzer and the packaging was seriously cute. As soon as I opened the product, I knew I was in love. It smells absolutely heavenly, applies very well and is easily buildable. It also comes in two shades which I am always grateful of for my porcelain skin, so I don’t end up looking like I’ve just wandered out of Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory!
