Cosmetics have almost been harder for when since turning Vegan. Trying to find and suitable vegan products.
I'm going to share what I've tried and what I use!
So the first obvious choice is Lush Cosmetics. I went straight to Lush once I turned Vegan to get some new haircare. And then for Christmas, I received a lot of different products.
Lush Haircare
Daddy-O Shampoo.
This is an all time favourite of mine. It is for blonde hair in particular to stop blondes going brassy. It is a purple shampoo that smells exactly like those purple parma violet sweets. It smells unreal and makes the shower water turn purple. Most importantly, it gives your hair a good cleanse and brings out the blonde in your hair. What I love about it most is how shiny it makes my hair. People always say how shiny it is after I use it.
Veganese Conditioner
I have only bought this once. I have very dry hair and I need a conditioner that really moisturizes my hair. Unfortunately Veganese didn't do the job. So I would recommend it for someone with greasier hair maybe. It's a shame though cause name has VEGAN in it.
Lush skincare and shower care
Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser
I was pretty disappointed with this. Left my skin feeling pretty grubby. Plus I'm not the biggest fan of lavender!
Eau Roma Water Toner
This is just a simple toner that I use after I take make up off. It feels great and I just spray some on to cotton wool. You get a lot in the bottle.
Happy Hippy Shower gel
I love this a lot! It smells lovely and is great in the morning. It's full of grapefruit and feels really fresh.
Sweet Pie Shower Jelly
This is hands down the best smelling thing ever. It smells like blackcurrant and I could smell the tub all day long. The jelly itself is a bit awkward to use and it slips everywhere. BUT if you use a shower glove it stays in place. Using this in the shower makes everything smell UNREAL!
Simple skin care.
There has always been Simple products in my bathroom. I always knew they didn't test on animals but I found out that the majority of their products are Vegan. From what I've seen, the majority of the haircare has honey in it.
I use the cream cleanser, which I can't fault.
I always use some of the exfoliaters and other cleansers/washes. I have very dry sensitive skin and I still react badly to the products.
I have just discovered this range in boots after a friend mentioned it. They are a company that use 97% natural ingreidents, don't test on animals and prettty much all of their products are vegan. The vegan products are marked! The great thing is also, is that the products are reasonably priced. I find Lush products to be pretty pricey. At the moment, they are doing buy one get one free in Boots too!
So I decided to try 2 conditioners! I like my Lush Daddy O shampoo and I have a whole bottle still to use.
Naked Rescue Intensive Care Conditioner – frizzy, damaged hair
I have only used this conditioner so far and I love it! It gave me all the moister I needed from a conditioner. It leaves my hair feeling soft and clean.
I also bought:
Naked Colour Protecting Conditioner – chemically coloured hair
They have haircare for every type of hair!
