Cruelty Free Makeup?

Recently, it suddenly occured to me that I say I'm all for treating our earth properly and caring for the enviroment (a newbie I am aware) but I knew nothing about cruelty free makeup. The thing is that its such an easy thing to change, so why wouldn't I just bite the bullet and clear through all my makeup? It just seemed so simple. Why don't more people do it? Although I love my rimmel foundation I can definetly find another one that doesn't use animals as rag dolls to test cosmetics on. If I could make drastic changes like being one of those inspiring people who has a tiny jar of the only rubbish they've used in the past 10 years or something like that then I would, but its unrealistic for my lifestyle. But this, it was so easy! 

 Firstly I seperated the cruelty free products from those that aren't cruelty free; here is what I was left with. Plus a naked pallete which is clearly camera shy!

I didn't want to waste any of the rest of my makeup so I put a dot of pink nail polish on each product and I'm going to be reaching for these products the most so I can use it up and slowly start replacing my whole makeup collection with cruelty free products. RIP my long lashes will I ever find a mascara as good as some of these?!

The last section I have includes products that may or may not be cruelty free but I'm going to keep regardless because the likelyhood of me actually using them up and then replacing them is so low I might has well just keep and enjoy them. Also I may have to make mac lipsticks my exeption!


 And thats that, in about a million years when I've finally used up all of my non cruelty free makeup I might do a detailed post about my makeup collection. I think that being a responsible and smart consumer is the important thing, maybe your okay with makeup being tested on animals but not okay with slave labour thats fine but just know and understand the brands your buying from. When it's such an easy thing to do, why wouldn't you?

Packing Essentials

Image
As I write this I'm actually on a plane to the UAE to see my mum and my friends. I actually grew up there and moved back just last summer to live with my dad, as someone who spent a lot of her child hood shuttling between not just parents but also from the UAE to the UK I am pretty efficient at packing. So it seemed very fitting to write a little post about packing. Also, because of where we lived we spent most of our holidays either somewhere tropical or in the UK and from the age of about 8 I was flying UM and then from 12 I've been flying on my own or with my sister so as you can imagine I'm also pretty accustomed to airports so I though another time I could an airport tips post too! In this post I'm going to be writing a detailed list for  a 'generic' holiday, what I mean by this is not a holiday where you have a specific focus like sight seeing, surfing, hiking, skiing etc. Actually where I'm going is a very good example I'll be doing things like sw...

Problems With Feminism

Image
Before I did my research and actually classed myself as a feminist I had a very narrow minded view on what feminism was. In my mind, I thought that it was a group (mostly lesbians with short blue hair -more on that later) that claimed that women are better than men. In some ways I still don't think that it was unjustified because I still see quotes like "I'm a feminist, I've been a female for a long time now   It would be stupid not to be on my own side". I just don't think that feminism is about that, surely it shouldn't be just about females then we're just as bad as men have historically been. Isn't it about men and women being equal, being valued and respected the same. But if feminism is just for females, am I actually I feminist or do I just believe in equality? I mentioned something along the lines of a lesbian with blue hair earlier and I realise that of course that is a false representation of the feminism group. But unfortunately I ...

Should Makeup Be Allowed In Schools?

Image
Makeup. Such a controversial topic, especially in UK schools. We've all heard excuses as to why we are not allowed makeup but are the reasons really valid? I do firstly want to mention that I don't think boundaries with the type and how much makeup you can wear is a problem but to ban it all seems so unfair to me. Also I would like to say that I'm sorry that the quote at the beginning refers to on woman it was the quote I loved and I think that we can apply it to everyone. I think one of the main 'cons' to the allowance of makeup in schools is it being labelled as a distraction, we spend to much time applying it in the morning and then we're late. Or maybe we've touched it up in the bathroom and have missed registration, or even that the makeup will cause boys to act inappropriately, as ridiculous and stereotypical as it sounds this is what's being said. I personally think that what's more of a distraction is not putting your hand up for fear of p...
