Lush jelly soap – Snow fairy

Christmas is always my favourite time of the year, mainly because the snow fairy collection at Lush is released! This stuff smells so good and instantly lifts my mood with its bubblegum and candy smells. So of course, come January and the Boxing Day sales, I try my best to stock up on the snow fairy … Continue reading Lush jelly soap – Snow fairy

500 posts

This post marks 500 posts on Taylor Talks Vegan. How bizarre is that?! To think that this entire blog started as somewhere for me to share my vegan food finds and what I thought would just be a little fun project has actually become something that I put a lot of my time into, and … Continue reading 500 posts

Covent Garden Flower Market

I recently got married (yay me!) and one of the biggest stressors I found was trying to sort out flowers. It seems that as soon as florists hear the word 'wedding', the cost for flowers immediately jumps up a couple hundred quid and then you're spending more money on flowers than you did on the … Continue reading Covent Garden Flower Market

Champneys awaken body cleanser

One of the worst misconceptions about veganism is that there is no such thing as vegan luxury. Yes you can get very high quality goods - both food and beauty wise - but the large name luxury brands very rarely offer anything that is vegan friendly. Or they do, but it is so extortionately priced … Continue reading Champneys awaken body cleanser

Is fashion promoting trophy hunting?

I love fashion. Whilst I could never afford many of the designer items out there, I love to see how creative fashion designers can get with their outfits and their runways. I enjoy the spectacle of it all. The glamour. The drama. I love seeing the artistic abilities of designers as well as the stylistic … Continue reading Is fashion promoting trophy hunting?

Lush Ghost in the Dark

A new season means a new product from Lush. Autumn is my favourite season of the year because I get to wrap up in lovely fluffy jumpers, enjoy pumpkin spiced everything and Halloween is always a fun time period with the spooky vibes and witchy feel in the air. I love it. This autumn especially … Continue reading Lush Ghost in the Dark

Maybelline Cosmetics vegan range

I was quite shocked and honestly quite excited to see that Maybelline Cosmetics now do a number of vegan friendly make up products. This includes lipsticks, foundations, eye shadows and mascaras, as well as a number of other products. From the look I had at my local display at Superdrug, it seems you could get … Continue reading Maybelline Cosmetics vegan range

Barry M Velvet matt nail polish: Silent cove blue

There is just something about having my nails painted that makes me feel like a Real Woman. I just feel a bit more put together and polished...no pun intended. Since going vegan though my nails grow so quickly that I find getting my nails done professionally is a waste, because within two weeks my nails … Continue reading Barry M Velvet matt nail polish: Silent cove blue

e.l.f putty blush

In an attempt to branch out I have (very bravely of course) decided to try some actual pigmented blush. For a while now I have mainly just been using a tiny amount of contouring, but with the summer well and truly heating up here in England I wanted something to add some colour to my … Continue reading e.l.f putty blush

B. Filter finish foundation

I want to preface this by saying that I am very inexperienced with make up. I am slowly learning new tips and tricks for make up looks but overall I am pretty basic in my knowledge, especially when it comes to proper application and how to get that truly flawless make up look. I was … Continue reading B. Filter finish foundation
