Bunny Friendly Beauty Tag

I know a lot of us cruelty free beauty bloggers like to talk about our decision to go cruelty free, so I thought I'd create this tag to have all the cruelty free info in one place. Yay! (I'll put a the list of questions at the bottom so it's easy to copy and paste because who's got time to go through each question individually copying and pasting?) Use the #bfb tag to share your responses!

1) How long have you been on your cruelty free journey?

I made the decision to go cruelty free around this time last year, but it was around October that I started making a concerted effort to change my purchasing habits. Christmas was the big break through for me, when I received Lush products and began to change my skin and hair care as well as just my make-up.

2) What made you decide to go cruelty free?

Watching videos from Lex, Sanne, Marion, Rosianna, and Margaret. These ladies speak so eloquently about going cruelty free, and watching their content has made the whole process a lot easier.

3) What has been the hardest product to find a cruelty free dupe for?

My hair mousse. I still haven't found a good replacement and I'm still using my Shockwaves one.

4) What's the best cruelty free dupe you've found?

The B. Stunning Vibrant Eye Shimmer's were great, colour packed dupes for my Estee Lauder eye shadow pallet.

5) What product or brand do you wish was cruelty free?

I'm going to cheat a little and say L'Oreal,because they own so many other companies.

6) What's your holy grail cruelty free brand?

As much as I love Lush, Superdrug's own brand has a huge range of skincare and make-up and hair products - all of which are available on a low budget.

7) Name one cruelty free brand others might not have heard of?

UR Cheeky, which is owned by Cowshead, do some great cruelty free products. I love their make-up fixing spray.

8) Are you a vegan? If so, for how long and have you had any struggles? If not, why not?

I'm currently neither vegetarian or vegan, although I was vegetarian at university. Whilst living at home, I can't ask my parents to buy in alternative products, and since I'm saving money to move out etc I can't afford to buy my own each week. Once I move out and run my own diet I'm definitely going to become vegetarian, and I'll cut out as many dairy products as I can.

9) What's your favourite local vegan friendly venue?

I live near Norwich, and there are loads of independent bars and restaurants. Both Frank's Bar and The Bicycle Shop always have loads of vegetarian and vegan options.

10) You have 30 seconds to convert someone to a cruelty free lifestyle - what would you say to them?

Why should an animal suffer for you to primp and preen yourself? Is eyeliner more important than the life of a rabbit? Cute lipstick more important than a mouse? The life of another living thing is not more important than your beauty regime.

I'm tagging the lovely Gemima and Sarah to take part - I'd love to hear your cruelty free stories ladies!
