My Autumn Beauty Wish List

There's some pretty exciting stuff happening in my life just now. I'm starting a new course after dropping out of university last year. I've got a new job in one of my favourite places. I've met a whole load of amazing people recently and my blog is beginning to take off. Although it's early September I can already feel the darker nights creeping in and soon enough the Autumn months will be upon us. Is there a better time for a fresh start or new beginnings? Anyway, with SAAS just round the corner I thought it was the perfect time to do an Autumn Beauty Wish List. Here are some products I've had my eye on for a while and I'll be no doubt picking up some of these in the coming months. 

Also, for my readers from elsewhere in Europe or from "across the pond", SAAS is where us Scots get our student loans from and the first payment is a biggie. So naturally we're all pretty excited to be irresponsible adults and spend it all straight away.

NYX Lip Lingerie in Ruffle Trim

I still haven't managed to try one of these and everyone seems to be talking about them. My nude lips are quite rosy, so I thought the shade "Ruffle Trim" (described as a cinnamon pink) would be the perfect nude gloss for me.

Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Brow Mousse

The brown powder I've been using for my eyebrows is beginning to run low, so I've been looking at other products out there for a bit of a change. I've heard good things about this, and would like to see how well a mousse performs compared to a powder.

Jane Iredale 24-Karate Gold Dust in Silver

I don't know why I haven't tried any Jane Iredale products yet because they always get great reviews. My current highlighter from Everyday Minerals is running out and, although I love it, I want to try out some other brands. My blog would get pretty boring if I just kept reviewing the same products, right? I'd opt for this shade in silver as I think every other shade would be too dark for my pale skin.

Jane Iredale Circle/Delete Concealer in Yellow

I did say these products got great reviews! I've heard good things about their circle/delete concealer and I always need something yellow to tackle my under-eyes. I'm assuming this would work well with my mineral makeup as the website says it "goes well" with their mineral foundation.

Green People Natural Tinted DD Cream in Ivory

I've never been a lover of BB,CC or DD creams (are there EE creams yet?), but I want to give them another chance. As I'm returning to college soon I daresay some mornings I just won't have the time to do a full face of makeup. I wonder if Green People's DD cream could be the time saver I'm looking for?

Barefaced Beauty Natural Mineral Lash Enhancing Mascara

I love my current Lily Lolo mascara, but it's running out and my curiosity is making me want to try something new. I noticed recently that Barefaced Beauty have a new mascara out and it's made its way onto my "to try" list. I would like to give this a go to see how it compares to Lily Lolo.

Barefaced Beauty Mineral Finishing Powder

Another repeated brand! I have tried their foundation before and I liked it, so my eye is currently on this. I'm not using any finishing powder at the moment (I can hear the makeup lovers gasping in shock), but their shade "Jasmine", which promises an "Illuminating, dewy finish" has caught my attention. After all, a matte finish doesn't seem to be the style anymore.

Lily Lolo Naked Pink Cheek Duo

These little compacts look great for travelling or sticking in your hand bag for touch ups. They do two other shades, but I think the naked pink one would be best to give my skin a natural looking flush of colour when on the go.

Lily Lolo Smoke & Mirrors Eye Palette

Yes, I'm slowly edging myself into the world of eye shadow and my recent experience with The Body Shop's new eye palettes has left me eager to try more. I've known about Lily Lolo's eye palettes for a while and I think this mix of day and night colours would be perfect to experiment with.

As always all of these brands are cruelty free. If you're looking to start switching to cruelty free brands, I'd definitely recommend checking out some of the above!

Cruelty Free? Here Are Some Products You May Have Missed

I went cruelty free long before I changed my diet. Why? Because it's much easier. I understand how it can be hard for people to go vegan. Not all of us - especially young people living at home - have the privilege to go vegan.
This can be down to judgemental family, not having the money for your own food (or parents willing to pay), not being confident cooking your own meals, etc. Yet there are still many other areas in life we can make a change for the better. Even vegetarians/vegans may not realise what products they are buying that are not cruelty free, but luckily I've been researching into this so you don't have to.

Make-Up

This was the first area of my life I made cruelty free. It may be hard giving up a beloved products, but it is so easy to find cruelty free dupes and there are so many budget friendly brands. My personal favourites are Lily Lolo, Honeypie Minerals, Barefaced Beauty and Everyday Minerals. You also have e.l.f cosmetics, NYX, Kiko Cosmetics, Colourpop and many more. If you would rather stay in the "high" end you also have Too Faced, Urban Decay, Nars, Illamasqua. Trust me, there are many brilliant make up brands out there. With a quick google it is so easy to switch up your makeup products.

Beauty

Beauty products can be a little harder to switch as many people pick them up from drugstores or supermarkets that offer little to no cruelty free options. My favourite place for beauty is Lush, but it can get a little out of budget for some people. There are a few great budget options - their shampoo bars can last for months and are only £5 odd each! They also make solid conditioners for around the same price. Just make sure you apply them correctly - a quick google or visit to store will set you right. Their facial and body soaps also last for ages, and are well worth the buck.

If Lush isn't your thing, check out The Body Shop, Greenpeople or Faith in Nature for a range of beauty products. If you're feeling creative try DIY-ing some products to save cash (and your skin). Read more about DIY-ing products on my blog here.

Art Supplies

This is one I've just came across recently. Everything from your glue to your paper may have been tested on animals, or may contain animal derived ingredients. Luckily my favourite pencils - Faber Castell Polychromos, are safe. Apparently Faber-Castell haven't tested on animals in 22 years. Also Winstor and Newton have said they don't test on animals, and I found a list of their animal-free products here.

Drink

Yes, drinks! Not all are vegetarian. Did you know that many ciders and beers aren't cruelty free? Although they may not contain any animal ingredients, they are usually used in the fermentation process. Spirits - such as vodka, gin and whiskey - are usually free from this, but I try to double check now. I've also started trying alternative milks - such as oat and rice - with white russians (my favourite cocktail!). You can't be too careful!

Clothes

Yes, sadly clothes aren't always cruelty free. As if it's not bad enough that many companies have their clothes made abroad in workshops where the workers are treated horribly, many clothing brands test on animals too! I already try to avoid leather and fur, but even silk is a no-no. Silk, obviously from the silk worm, isn't always a cruelty free process. Now I didn't throw out my leather shoes and bags when I went vegetarian. but I wouldn't ever add to my collection now. It's so hard to be completely cruelty free with clothes as ethical brands are usually quite pricey. Unless you buy everything second hand you're kind of stuck. Hopefully it won't always be that way!

There's no doubt many things I've missed out, such as cleaning products. Unless you want to DIY your own stuff it can be pretty hard to find cruelty free cleaning products. Sadly it is extremely hard to go completely "cruelty free" as so many products can be traced back to causing some sort of human, animal or environmental harm. Every little swap can make a difference and the more people that start supporting cruelty free or vegetarian/vegan brands, the more in demand it will become. Sadly the world will never be perfect but it doesn't mean we can't do our bit!

Help For the Switch to Natural Beauty - Moisturisers

So we've been getting some work done at the house this week and I haven't had WiFi access for my laptop, so my blog has been quiet... but I'm back! Continuing with my "Help for the Switch" series, I will be looking at moisturisers today.

Personally, I think moisturiser (along with make-up) is what affects your skin the most. As we tend to moisturise day and night the stuff spends a lot of time on your skin.When using the right stuff to moisturise it can really help, but when using bad stuff it can really damage your skin. Do you know what's in your moisturiser? That's a question I only started asking myself last year. Take a look at your moisturisers ingredient list and search them up on Skin Deep, have a look at exactly what is going on your skin every day.

Now there are hundreds of moisturisers out there. I used to feel lost in stores like Boots and Superdrug when searching for new moisturisers -because whatever brand I'd used before was never working.

Before I started using more natural moisturisers my skin would feel tight after washing. I'd moisturise right after washing my face to prevent this, thinking the product was working. Honestly, it wasn't. Now that I use better products, my skin is soft and silky before applying anything. That's how I know my stuff is working.

So where do you find the best moisturiser? Well there are a ton of great cruelty free and natural brands out there. It can be overwhelming at first, especially when you're just trying to find them. So I'm going to list some of the best moisturisers I've came across and what I think they are best for:

Arran Aromatics Feel Good Formulas Jojoba & Vitamin E All Weather Moisturiser

What a mouthful! While this moisturiser does not have the purest ingredient list, I have researched the stuff on Skin Deep and everything had a "low hazard" rating. I love wearing this under make up as it is light, primes the skin and still moisturises. And any followers of this blog will know how much I love Jojoba Oil. I've wrote more about this product here.

The Caurnie Soaperie Nettle Moisturiser 

This is my holy grail when it comes to eczema. I have had this clear up small eczema breakouts in less than a day. I'd never go back to the steroid creams from the doctor, which just thinned my skin anyway. Even for those who don't suffer from eczema it is a wonderful moisturiser. I'd say it's best for the body and moisturising dry patches. I personally didn't use it on my face a lot as it is heavy, although I do use it overnight sometimes when my skin is feeling dry.

Pai Skincare Geranium & Thistle Rebalancing Day Cream

I was first introduced to this whilst reading Kate's review on it on wildorganicbeauty* (one of my favourite blogs by the way, check it out!). She wrote a great post on it that will describe it better than I can. It's great for sensitive skin and it is another moisturiser that primes the skin perfectly for make up.

Lush Magical Moringa

I've loved every Lush moisturiser I've tried. Vanishing Cream was great for a light cream in the morning to prime before make up. Skin Drink was great at tackling dryness and healing my skin. But Magical Moringa is a different story. It's more a "balm" than a "cream" and feels unlike any other moisturiser I've tried. It also makes my skin look and feel amazing. Once absorbed I find it is great under powder/mineral make up. I'm not so sure with liquids because it contains cornflour. I think this is best for no make up days or when you want something that feels luxurious on your skin.

Facial Oils

These are my absolute favourite products for moisturising. Many brands do facial oils, but I tend to mix my own because I can switch up the ingredients to suit my skin's needs throughout the year. Many people are sceptical when I recommend facial oil to them. They either believe oil to be "dirty", they think it will make their skin more oily, or they tried some brand's facial oil from the chemist that was loaded up with awful ingredients that broke them out.

When you buy or make a good oil it is amazing for skin. My skin has actually stopped being so "oily" since I started using oils. Whenever my mix runs out I can look at my skin's current needs and make a unique blend that targets everything I need at that time. I do not have perfect skin - I have years spent using nasty products from the chemist to thank for that - but it has never been as good as it is using these products. My facial oils have finally got rid of my acne, they have decreased my redness, smoothed my skins texture and made it feel "good" again. If I had to recommend one product to anyone it would be Jojoba Oil, but there are so many great oils out there I think it really is worth looking for blends that will help your skin. I've been making custom blends for friends and family and so far they have been working!

There are many other brands out there that do great moisturisers, but unfortunately I've only sampled a small few myself. My blog isn't so popular (yet) that I get free samples to try, so everything I do try has been products I've used from start to finish out my own pocket. I still think facial oils are the best, but I understand how many people are more comfortable with a cream. So good luck in finding that perfect moisturiser and I hope this post has helped those of you looking to switch.  :)

*since I've made this post my favourite blog has actually disappeared! So I've had to remove all the links as they are broken.

Help for the Switch to Natural Beauty: Men

To the men out there that take care of their skin/body/hair, I applaud you. It seems to be something a lot of men shy away from, because it's not (as they'd describe) "manly". Sigh...

Anyway, although all of the products I review can be used by males or females, I thought a post tailored specifically to men would be helpful. Think shaving products, beard wash, hair wax... You get the idea.

Shaving

Still using that cheap foam from the supermarket to shave? Really? It's hard to find shaving products that are cruelty free, but luckily I've rounded up some of the best here. I think that men need thicker gels and creams for shaving, as they tend to have thicker and coarser hair, so that's what I've focused on.

Arran Aromatics do a great range of shaving products. It's tailored towards men, but I've tried some stuff and loved it. They do shaving cream, shaving gel, shaving soap and even a brush and soap bowl. Definitely better than supermarket brand foam! I'd recommend the cream for men, as I don't think gel would be best for facial hair.

Lush also have several options for shaving, including D'Fluff - a pink, strawberry scented shaving cream! If you're going to shave with anything, why not with strawberries?

For the less adventurous they also have Dirty Shaving Cream, part of their well loved "Dirty" range. This is good option for skin that is sensitive easily irritated,

Another good option from Lush for men would be Five O'Clock Whistle. It's another thick formula that's good for facial hair.

Hair

So we've took care of shaving, what about the hair that's still left?

If you're the type that jumps in and out the shower for a quick wash, try a Hair and Body Wash from Arran Aromatics. They currently have seven scents: After the Rain, Bay Citrus, Citrus Shores, Driftwood, Eydis, Island Spa and Velvet Isle. 

If you're not that type and really want to treat your hair, try some solid shampoo bars from Lush. These things are great; inexpensive, long-lasting and there's so many choices. Try something like Honey I Washed My Hair or Jason and the Argon Oil if you're looking for moisture and softness. Seanik is great for volume. Soak and Float is a good choice for problem scalps with dandruff, psoriasis and eczema. If you're just looking for a good all rounder, try New. I'm pretty sure that's their best seller. Lush shampoo bars are better for hair because of the way they are used. Read more about them here.

If you're picky and want something free of SLS, try Nettle Shampoo and Nettle Conditioner from The Caurnie Soaperie. The shampoo is my absolute favourite. After using it for a while my hair became so healthy and started to change back to it's natural texture - it doesn't happen overnight but it helps you get there. If you don't know what shampoo to pick from what I've listed, pick this.

Styling

I know I keep going on about Lush - that's how good their stuff is - and they have a great selection of styling products. Dirty Styling Cream, another product from the beloved "Dirty" range, is probably the closest you'll get to a generic styling cream. Jojo and Queen Bee styling wax are also options for those of you who need a little more hold.

Veerappan Moustache Wax is also another great product. It can be used, obviously, as a moustache wax, but also to condition and scent the ends of your hair.

Although you can use it dry, Mr Dandy's Hair Candy is a better choice for those who like to style with wet hair.

For those of you who may not share my love of Lush. Green People also do a styling gel.

Cleansing 

Acne and other skin problems can be tough to get rid off, especially with the amount of products in stores claiming to help. Again, these products can be used by males or females, but I just thought I'd recommend some good products to help narrow down the search.

Now, the best thing to help is a good skin care routine. It doesn't have to be intricate or time consuming, just make sure you cleanse your skin morning and night to get rid of any dirt or bacteria. Lush Facial Soaps Coalface and Fresh Farmacy are both easy to use and last a long time. Coalface is better for oily skin and Fresh Farmacy is good for sensitive skin.  

If you want a little exfoliation, Angels on Bare Skin is a good all rounder. It comes in a paste formula, so just pinch a little out the tub, mix with warm water in your palm and then massage into your face. Lush have a few paste cleansers - try Dark Angels for oily skin or Let The Good Times Roll for dry skin.

If none of the above is what you're looking for, check out my post on cleansing here.

Also, pay attention to what you sleep on! Bacteria gathers on cotton pillowcases, so make sure to wash and change them regularly. 

If face masks are your thing, try Mask of Magnaminty Self Preserving from Lush or Sea Mud Mask from Arran Aromatics. Both are good all rounders. I reccomend the self preserving version of the Lush mask as it's loaded with honey which is great for the skin. It also doesn't have to be kept in the fridge like most of their masks.

When you first start using masks you may feel like they are counter-productive by drawings spots from your skin. Stick with it, as it helps keep skin clean and clear in the long run. 

Moisturiser 

So you've shaved, you've cleansed, what's next? No, you're not finished yet. It's time to moisturise.

If you just want something simple, try some Jojoba Oil. This stuff is great for the skin. I buy mine local from Woodland Herbs. Add in a little essential oil and you can personalise it to your own needs. For example, a little lavender or tea tree oil is great for fighting acne.

If messing about making oils isn't your thing, Neal's Yard Remedies do several of their own facial oil formulas.

If you'd rather stick with a cream, Lush have a great selection. Cosmetic Lad is aimed at men as it's for "calming razor-sore skin".

Magical Moringa is another favourite of mine. It is more of a balm than a cream, but is wonderfully soft on skin and makes it look great.

Million Dollar Moisturiser is another one I'd recommend to men. I find that men (in my experience) care less about sun care, whereas women tend to protect their skin with products and make-up with SPF. This cream has an SPF of 30, so keeps skin protected from those harmful rays. 

Vaseline is a product I see a lot of guys using - for nails, lips, dry skin... I'm not a fan of Vaseline, it's not cruelty free and I don't think it's very good for skin. Instead, try Ultrabalm from lush - a natural, cruelty free alternative and it only has three ingredients! 

If you're looking for even more moisture, try Elbow Grease. I've heard it's great for everything from dry skin to brightening tattoos.

I hope this post has helped any men (or women) out there with their search for cruelty free beauty products. I've tried to think or and cover the problems men may have here, but if any of my readers out there have a question that's not covered please let me know.

Help for the Switch to Natural Beauty: Cleansers

Cleansers are crucial to good skin. A bad cleanser can completely mess up your skin, whereas a good cleanser can soothe, heal and rescue your skin so it is at its best. When using a cleanser we first wash our face with warm water to open the pores, so it is important to make sure you are using safe ingredients. Have you looked at the ingredients list on your cleanser recently? If not, I urge you to do so. Many cleansers out there bought from supermarkets and pharmacies are full of horrible, toxic ingredients. That's not what you're wanting to put on your skin! 

Let me explain why a more natural beauty routine is better. Lots of companies make skincare products full of stuff that is not good for your skin. Ingredient lists will be full of stuff we've never heard of, and if you researched into some of this stuff you would not be impressed (Try researching some ingredients here). You may be using non-natural products just now and think they're working, but they're not. What I've found with these kind of products is that your skin becomes dependant on them. They work against your skin rather than with it.

For example, whenever I used to wash my face I would have to moisturise quite quickly or my skin would become tight and sore. When I used the (non natural) moisturisers and felt my skin becoming soft and plump, I felt they were working. They weren't! My skin was dependant on these products: cleansers that stripped my skin of it's natural oils, moisturisers full of irritable ingredients... you get the idea. When you switch to natural products you have to give it time to adjust. I had overly oily skin for a while, a few breakouts, some redness. Now it's all calmed down and when I wash my face it feels plump and soft even before moisturising. 

So to continue with my "Help for the Switch to Natural Beauty" series I will be focusing on cleansing. I will list both branded cleansers and some of my favourite DIY cleansing ingredients.

I have made a table of cleansers from some of my favourite brands below. Highlighted areas in green show what each product is best for, using information gathered from their websites. Please note that this isn't gospel and that products work differently with different people's skin. Just because "Acne" isn't highlighted as that cleansers main benefit doesn't mean it won't help! It's always best to do your own research and try things out for yourself, but I hope this will help as a guide for where to start.

I've priced the products by average price per 100 ml/g.
£       =  £0 - £10
££     =  £10 - £20
£££   =  £20 - £30
££££ =  £30+

*I have visited the Caurnie Soaperie and have been advised that the Nettle Shower Gel is also suitable as a facial cleanser.

DIY facial cleansers are also a great alternative, especially if you're on a budget. When you DIY a product you know exactly what goes into it and you are able to personalise it exactly to your skin's needs. Here are some of my favourite ingredients for DIY cleansers.

Honey

Honey feels luxurious on skin. It is very soothing and leaves skin feeling like velvet. It is great as a cleanser or face mask even on it's own, but what I wouldn't use it for is removing make-up. Try to buy organic, as many brands add unnecessary stuff into their honey.

Oil

Yes, I never stop going on about oil. I use Olive Oil to take of my make-up and it works wonderfully. It catches on to everything and wipes it all away. It does leave skin greasy, so follow up with something else to get rid of the oil.

You can also make blends made up of oils if you want something a little more complex. Use a carrier oil like Jojoba, Olive or Castor oil and add a few drops of essential oils. For example, oils like Tea Tree and Lavender are great for acne. When working with essential oils please be careful and use the correct dilutions. I personally don't use an oil blend for cleansing make-up, as plain olive oil is cheaper. I keep my blends for moisturising.

Oats

Oats are an effective natural exfoliator. Simply take a small amount in your hand, add a little hot water, and make a paste. Massage it into dampened skin. Make sure to wait for the oats to soften before using, as the sharp edges may damage skin. Some people suggest sugar and salt for exfoliating your face. Again I prefer to avoid these for the facial area, as they are harsh and can damage skin. I do like to use them on my body, especially on rough areas like kneecaps.

Milk

Yes milk, although maybe not like this. Milk, Rice and Almond powders all work well to cleanse the face. Simply mix with some warm water (or some rose or hazel water if you're feeling fancy) and use to cleanse your face.

There are many more ingredients out there, but these are some of the simplest and best.

I hope this post helps with all of you out there who are interested in or are transitioning to a better skin care routine. Stick in there - it's for the best and your skin will thank you.

Some Help for the Switch to Natural Beauty

Since I've switched to a cruelty free, natural skin care routine my skin has thanked me immensely. No longer are the days of hormonal breakouts and insufferable redness - although my skin is still not perfect it's came a long way.  All the products I currently use are either DIY, completely natural or mostly natural, with a few safe ingredients I've researched on Skin Deep.

Anyone who knows me will know how much I rave about natural skin care and its benefits. Yet it is hard to make that switch to natural beauty. People become loyal to companies and their products. People may not be willing to experiment around with new products and brands to find the right fit for their skin. So, what I've decided to do is dedicate a few blog posts to help the switch to natural beauty. I will try to focus on one or two products/brands each post, and hopefully it will come in useful for those making the switch! So, as this is my first post, I would like to list some of my all time favourite cruelty-free and natural* beauty brands:

Arran Aromatics - a cruelty free brand made in Scotland. I love their products. I rave about their "Feel Good Formulas" collection. So affordable and effective!

The Caurnie Soaperie - this is a smaller company who specialise in natural soaps/haircare for those with eczema/psoriasis. Saying that, their products are wonderful and I'd recommend them to anyone. You can order online but I sometimes spy them in farmer's markets. Their Nettle Shampoo and Conditioner does wonders for my hair, and its SLS free! And yes, that's the best picture I could find.

Lush - from bath bombs, to tooth powder, to toners and moisturisers they really do have everything.

Neals Yard Remedies - A well known brand, Neals Yard Remedies stock many oils for DIY skincare. They also stock teas (good for the skin), make up and their own skin care range. I've heard great things about them.

Woodland Herbs - okay, this is more a shop than a brand, but it's my first stop for ingredients for DIY skincare. They have a great selections of oils, waters, herbs, bottles and various other ingredients. They also stock natural skin care brands for those who don't like to mess about in the kitchen. The shop is based in Glasgow, but they do deliver online.

If you're interested in health and skin care I'd recommend a look around their website. It may be a little confusing to navigate at first but they stock a wide range of products, have lots of great information on topics like health and wellbeing/aromatherapy and they even have a blog. Get it bookmarked.

Here are some brands I've not tried personally, but that I've heard great things about:

Balm Balm - 100% Natural Skincare. A brand I've seen bloggers rave about, and they also do free delivery for orders over £10! They specialise in - you guessed it - balms.

GreenPeople - Another brand that a lot of bloggers rave about. They stock a wide range of products online, from skin care, to toothpaste, to sun care.

LiveNative - another Scottish brand, they market themselves as "raw, vegan, organic". I've had a look at their products and they do look good, and I've seen people praise them online.

Pai Skincare - They have a great selection of products. I see many people praise the "Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil". They also have free delivery on all orders too.

I've made up some tables to show which brands do which products, and how affordable they all are. I've priced the products by average price per 100ml/g.

£       =  £0 - £10
££     =  £10 - £20
£££   =  £20 - £30
££££ =  £30+

First up, skincare:

Next, hair care:

Lastly, body/other:

Remember it is the price per 100ml, so don't get put off. For example, the Arran Aromatics eye gel is £3.50 per 15ml. Although it is cheap, it is listed as £££ as 100ml would be £23.33. I thought by showing the price this way it would be easier to compare the affordability of each brand.

You may look at this list and think "Woah, do I need so many products?". The answer is - no! Although I believe skin care is important, less can be more. For example, on an average day I use two products on my face: a cleanser and my DIY facial oil.

It all depends on your skin, your preference and your day. If I'm wearing make up I tend to switch my facial oil for an eye gel and moisturiser instead, as they absorb fast and prime my face. If it's a sunny day I'll use an SPF powder on my face. When I'm having a "bad skin" day I'll also use a face mask and a mix of essential oils on my face.

I hope these tables help anyone who is interested in making the switch to better skin care. I plan to do a few more posts looking at certain products, so if you liked this please watch out for them. As usual these brands are all cruelty free. Information gathered for each brand was taken from the linked website.

*not all brand products are 100% natural, which is why I use Skin Deep to research ingredients.
