Finished Products #1 (September, 2014) | vgtbl

DESCRIPTION:
Here are products I’ve used over the past months as I transition from a user of conventional makeup and skincare into products certified by a relevant authority as being cruelty free. I will furthermore only be buying products that contain absolutely no animal by-product (the short way of saying this is of course, ‘vegan’), and I am aiming to make my beauty (and lifestyle) habits as natural and organic as possible, too.

*Denotes Certified Cruelty Free
^ Denotes ‘Certified’ Vegan (either by relevant authority or stated on packaging)
Please note: There are products featured in this video that are vegan that I have not denoted as being so. This is because I do not feel comfortable in telling you that a product is vegan if it does not say on the packaging or is not certified.
