This is a question that I have struggled with a lot, because it's so vast. For starters, what is an activist and how does it differ from being an advocate? According to the dictionary, an activist is 'a person who campaigns to bring about political or social change'. An advocate is defined as 'a person … Continue reading How can I be an activist?

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

The only issue I have with it is finding a styling product that holds my curls in … Continue reading Umberto Giannini curl whip mousse

As a vegan, I try to live my life causing as little harm as possible, and this includes how I interact with other people and how I address different issues within … Continue reading How to be a LGBTQ+ ally
Barry M gelly nail polish – Goji Berry
As much as I love getting my nails done, since becoming vegan my nails grow so quickly that it's only about a week before my nail polish will need to removed or redone due to the amount of growing nail visible. I am therefore always on the hunt for some decent nail polishes that I … Continue reading Barry M gelly nail polish – Goji Berry
Superdrug sugar and oil body scrub
One of my goals for this year is to take my skincare a bit more seriously. I am inching ever closer to thirty and while I do feel like my skin is pretty good, I know I don't give it the attention it really deserves. I have been doing a lot of research and over … Continue reading Superdrug sugar and oil body scrub
e.l.f sheer matte liquid lipstick
e.l.f (which stands for Eyes, Lips, Face) is a drugstore make up brand that is 100% vegan and cruelty free. I discovered this brand a year or so ago and it is probably now my main go-to brand: Their foundations do exactly what you need, and they have some really lovely shades of lipstick and … Continue reading e.l.f sheer matte liquid lipstick
