Cruelty Free July Favorites 2017 – Lots of Skincare

Well, August is here. That means traditional US Summer is more than half gone! How? Why? Where has it gone?!? But I shouldn’t complain. Things are going well and it’s been a decent Summer so far…not that much has actually happened in my world. LOL! I just love the long, sunny days (which I feel the need to point out the ridiculous amount of rain this year) and I actually enjoy the heat…as long as there is air conditioning. 😉 Since July has past, we all know that means it’s time for another Cruelty Free Favorites! I’m not going to pretend that I wore much makeup throughout the month, but I have been trying a lot of new skincare in a surprisingly successful attempt to battle to onslaught of dryness brought about by Accutane. I should probably call this my “Cruelty Free Skincare Favorites.” LOL! But there’s some great skincare that I’ve been loving in July as well as a few food stuffs. So sit back, relax, and I’ll try to keep it brief…at least as much as I’m capable! LOL!

Cruelty Free June Beauty Favorites (& a Fail!)

Happy official first Favorites of Summer!!! ☀️ I cannot believe that June is already coming to an end. I know, stereotypical blogger Favorites opening. 😜 It’s so true though! Seriously, where is the year going?!?! Enough! I have a lot of favorites from June so I’m not going to ramble…too much! 😉 We’ve got some hair care, skin care, SPF – good and bad – body care, makeup and something kinda random. So let’s get into it!!!

Best of Skincare TAG – Cruelty Free Edition!

Ah skincare! Something I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with. 😄 Since this may be my last post before starting Accutane (not entirely sure, but my next dermatologist appointment is around the corner!), I thought I would do the Best of Skincare TAG that’s been going around the blogging / YouTube world in recent days! It’s a really great tag (if you’re unaware what a “tag” is, it’s really just a bunch of set questions that people answer and ask others to do as well…you know, like the game of tag! 😉) that I believe was created by ttsandra and MakeupTIA on YouTube. These have been so wonderfully interesting to watch lately, so I figured why not take the opportunity to go over some of my favorite skincare products pre-Accutane! 😀 Lord knows I’ve tried a lot of different skincare over the years. So instead of rambling on, let’s just get to the question and answer portion of the post, shall we? 😜

April’s Cruelty Free Beauty Favorites!

Wow! What a month April was! I feel like so much has happened, but I couldn’t even begin to remember what. 😂 It’s been a good makeup month, if for no other reason there was the Sephora VIB Sale as well as a ton of Friends and Family sales…not to mention I am an Ulta Platinum member which gave me a 20% off coupon too! I guess not a great month for makeup lovers’ wallets! 💸 The stuff I’ve acquired is still being tested out (admittedly I have yet to even touch a lot of it!), though there is at least one that’s already a favorite. 😉 So without further ado, let’s get to my Cruelty Free Favorites for the month of April!!!

Farmacy Clear Bloom Cleansing Oil – Blooming Good?

Farmacy is a brand that’s relatively new to Sephora. Being the curious-about-all-things-beauty-person that I am, I was intrigued. Farmacy is a small New York-based company that uses local farm fresh ingredients and cosmetic experts to create non-irritating products. All of the products are based around their patent-pending EchinaceaGreenEnvy, a potent form of Echinacea Purpurea that is rich in antioxidants. The first thing that caught my eye, and I felt would be least problematic for my acne-prone skin, is the Clear Bloom Glideaway Cleansing Oil. Naturally I decided I needed to try it! I am so glad I did because, though there is a slight learning curve, it is my new favorite way to remove makeup! Let’s get into the pros and cons so you can determine if it’s right for you! 🙂

November Favorites – Farmacy, Herbivore, W3ll People, ColourPop, Makeup Geek & More!

Ah November. It was the best of times. It was the worst of time. Hehe! It actually did start out a bit troubled, but ended on a fantastic high note. And now it’s December, which is always stressful but exciting! Since I’m lamenting about the passing of another month, it is clearly time for my November Favorites!!! There have been so many sales this past month that I now have a bunch of new things that still need to find a home! Organization is not my strong suit. J Anyway, new things are not necessarily the point this month. What I’ve actually had a chance to use over and over again is the star of the show today. So without further nonsense, I bring you my November Favorites! J
