  • Insta-account Love #2

    instagram-love#2

    Happy Monday. Just a little post to ease y’all into the week. I’ve been having a poke around the insta-sphere (Is that a thing? Cause it totally should be!) quite a lot recently and thought I’d share a few of my favourite Instagram accounts. I mean, c’mon, what better way to get through the Monday blues than to indulge in some procrastination, endless scrolling and double-tap action, right?

    As you guys know I’ve pledged to start investing in the cruelty free beauty mindset and now that I’m starting to finish up a lot of my non-cruelty free make up and beauty stash I can finally start properly supporting the great companies who carry the cruelty free banner.

    Now that I’m starting to research brands and products both through just Googling and by reading blog reviews, a common theme that seems to come up in the arguments about the struggle to keep up with cruelty free is that many products are insanely expensive. Whilst that is the case for some – and very often it’s a case of you get what you pay for because these products are a m a z i n g – there are still a load of brands who don’t animal test and are totally affordable.

    As it’s ‘Be Cruelty Free Week‘ and as part of the little #blogforbunnies campaign I thought I’d share my own personal top 5 cruelty brands (from the UK high street) that won’t break the bank.
