My Beauty Bunny’s Favorite Cruelty-free Products

As the editor-in-chief of a cruelty-free beauty blog, peo­ple often ask me which prod­ucts are the best. Of course, that depends on your skin type, hair type and per­sonal pref­er­ences. And, it’s amaz­ing how one prod­uct will FAIL for me and then some­one else I know will LOVE it!

That being said, I would like to share with you a few of my favorite cruelty-free prod­ucts. I hope you’ll love them as much as I do.

1. Alba Pineapple Enzyme Facial Cleanser

Alba Pineapple Enzyme Facial Cleanser

This is the best cleanser! For ref­er­ence, I have sen­si­tive, com­bi­na­tion skin with fre­quent break­outs. A good friend rec­om­mended this to me — she has extremely sen­si­tive skin (more sen­si­tive than mine) and she also loves Alba’s facial cleanser. It has enzymes to remove dead skin and dirt, but it doesn’t dry out your skin at all. It makes your skin feel super soft with­out leav­ing any residue! You can buy it in drug­stores — a def­i­nite must-try!

2. L'uvalla Balancing Day/Night Cream

Luvalla Balancing Cream

This is a fairly thick cream that man­ages to go on smooth and leave NO greasy residue! It’s per­fect for my com­bi­na­tion skin. It has essen­tial oils (lotus flower, thyme, rose­mary, clove, etc.) to treat acne and nat­ural oils (such as argan oil and hazel seed oil) to nour­ish skin and heal acne.

3. Dr. Hauschka’s Lip Care Stick

Hauschka lip balm

Jojoba oil, shea but­ter, almond oil, car­rot extract and other nat­ural ingre­di­ents com­bine to make this super luxe, non-sticky lip balm that gives you pro­tec­tion with­out caus­ing depen­dency (like lip balms that con­tain dry­ing ingre­di­ents can do).

4. bareMinerals Matte mineral foundation

BareMinerals Foundation

Gives me a shine-free fin­ish (which lasts almost all day on my shiny areas), min­i­mizes my pores, evens out my skin tone and pro­tects my skin from sun dam­age (SPF 15). It is designed to be worn alone, but I usu­ally layer over liq­uid foun­da­tion for more coverage.

5. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Urban Decay Eye Primer

This is a cult favorite for a rea­son. Put it on your eye­lids, let dry and then apply your favorite eye­shadow (M.A.C. is my fave). The primer cre­ates a smooth base, makes the col­ors pop and most impor­tantly, keeps your eye­shadow from creas­ing! It stay on all day — really! The only pos­si­ble draw­back is that you have less oppor­tu­nity to blend because the eye­shadow stays where you put it. So, just make sure you stay in the lines!
