Trying out Natural/Cruelty-Free Cosmetics


Hey and welcome to a new post after a really really long time (apologies). But only one week of school and then I have my summer break, where I will definitely write more regulary. If you have read my latest post, you will know that last month I looked more into avoiding cosmetic products tested on animals. So I made up a plan from then on to replace every product I own (and which is tested on animals) with a cruelty-free product. Well, let me tell you I have started with that so I will show you some of my new additions listed below:





























Lavera Basic Tooth Paste | Tooth Paste with biological ingredients, smell takes getting used to it but it really cleans my teeth and makes them look bright, Lavera is a natural cosmetic brand which is against animal testing, also hasn't any unnessasry ingredients in it like parabens and silicons, 1,95€ for 100ml (at the drugstore you get 33 percent more)


Sante Moisturising Shampoo | Scent: Mango and Aloe Vera, smells very fruity and is also labeled with the label cruelty free and vegan, 200 ml for I guess 2,45€






Lush "Big" Shampoo | Shampoo with Sea Salt, adds volume to the hair and makes them more textured, smells really fresh and summery, 230ml for 17,50€ (a bit more expensive but check out these natural ingredients)






Lush "Let the good times roll" | a face cleanser which i use to had as a sample to try out and which absolutely persuaded me to buy the original size as it really softens your skin and makes it clean, smells like popcorn, mice and cinnamon, 9,95€ for 100g




I will definitely try out more cruelty free products from now on so I will let you know about my thoughts on them. I think we all should fight against animal abuse, because it's such a cruelity that animals are harmed for cosmetic products. I for myself feel better when I know that no animals were harmed in the making of the used cosmetic product. Also some of these products contain so many different ingredients, where I personally sometimes don't know what really is in that product. I hope to inspired some of you with that post and hope you think a bit about that difficult topic and maybe avoid using some of these and replacing them with a cruelty-free alternative. Below I will leave you the link to the organisation PETA, which has a list on its website, where you can actually get to know which brands are without animal testing.

Next week I will be away on holiday in South France and hope to show you some Impressions/Outfit Ideas afterwards.
Have a good start in your holiday,
