Aspiring green mummy, living in London, England. I have a son and a daughter, who keep us entertained / busy / challenged (delete as appropriate). It's important for our family to 'do our bit' and live as sustainably as we can. We believe it matters for the future of the planet - often it also helps us save money - and it can be fun!

Cruelty free cosmetics
Like many mums, I have 1 or 2 make up essentials to hide the wear and tear, the bags under the eyes, etc.
If you're anything like me, you slap your make-up on in the small windows of opportunity in the morning. Maybe you whip the mascara out on a crowded train carriage to work - or you tempt fate with an attempt to put lippy on while a distressed toddler with yoghurt hands pulls on your best dark trousers.
Anyway, as I have less and less time to add sparkle in the mornings, I'm trying to buy better quality cosmetics. Ideally organic and cruelty-free (lots of companies meet both criteria). So I was chuffed to find someone else has done the research - BUAV's free download contains a list of ethical cosmetic companies - see 'Little Book of Cruelty Free'. Time for a new mascara methinks.
