ELF COSMETICS H2O LINER PEN VS MAC BRUSHSTROKE FELT EYELINER

Image
Happy to bring you a dupe for the Mac Brushstroke felt eyeliner. Not only is it a dupe and supremely inexpensive but it's also CRUELTY FREE! I don't know how ELF cosmetics does it but all I can hope is that they keep doing it! #crueltyfreemakeup #elfcosmetics #elfvsmac As of February 1st 2019 every product I purchase professionally and personally is cruelty free. I will no longer support the testing of cosmetics on animals by purchasing products from brands that test on animals. In my 2019 Project Pan, I have a ton of products that were tested on animals that I previously purchased and therefore ignorantly supported animal testing in the past. These products I will use until I am finished and will no longer purchase those brands. In the near future I plan to do comparison videos and blog posts with those said. It’s 2019, there are alternatives. I hope you enjoyed this post and/or found it useful! To continue to show support for me and my efforts, check out my cruelty-free

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

I’ve been changing things up a bit here and so I thought I’d take a minute FINALLY to talk about the big changes. So, for starters I want to say that I am no longer “brand loyal” to any business other than Blush Brush and Blow Dry by Erika with a K. I am loyal to my business and what it stands for: Beauty+Integrity. I’ve morally been here for years but it took me too long to physically get my brand here. I am proud to scream from roof tops that my business is OFFICIALLY 100% CRUELTY FREE!  What does this mean? In 2019 brands are still testing their products on animals. And we, as a society, allow and support it by continuing to purchase products from those said brands. I just want you to really think about that. Or maybe look up what some of those testings include. It may not seem like a big deal to some but to me it is a HUGE deal. So I’ve been working on some major changes in the last few months to seamlessly get us to this new place.  What does all of this mean for y
