Vegan Cuts Beauty Box Review

06/09/2016

There are tons of beauty subscription services at this point so it’s tough to stand out. When Vegan Cuts reached out, I was down for a few reasons. I prioritize cruelty-free products so vegan ones fall right in line with that. I have also recently been getting more into indie brands and subscription boxes like...

Best Makeup Geek Shadows

06/07/2016

You know the diagram that shows good, fast and cheap but you can never have all 3? Makeup Geek eyeshadows are the good and the cheap and speed is up to you.

MAKE Beauty Review

05/23/2016

I will never tire of discovering new beauty brands. I get so damn excited when I try out a brand I’ve never experienced before. MAKE is the newest brand I’ve recently met. They make cruelty free, paraben-free products right here in the United States and 10% of sales are donated to their We See Beauty Foundation....
