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.
