Vegan Beauty Essentials

As an extension of my last post, I wanted to share just a handful of my favorite cruelty-free beauty finds in the hopes that some of you will enjoy them as well. I am always on the hunt for vegan products that really work and have found a handful of gems so far on my journey.

Many of them were shared with me through vegan blogs and beauty articles in various magazines and I have tested them all out myself. Below are just a few of the products that I have bought repeatedly and that I feel deserve honorable mention. I hope to share more great cruelty free finds with you in the future as my search continues :)!!
