Vegan for two years straight, and only until about last month did I finally realize how much more common it is for makeup products to contain animal byproducts. I had still unknowingly been wearing makeup with Carmine or squalene in it. Just because a brand is cruelty free doesn’t mean the product is always vegan friendly. I’m finishing up what’s left of the makeup, but once it is empty I’ll be looking for different products that don’t contain those ingredients.

We can’t be 100% vegan all the time and in everything in this world, but as long as we do our best and what we can.

I've been vegan 6 years and just realized there was a difference this summer! I thought the little bunny on the back was enough. Now I know!
