Tomorrow is World Vegan Day and also the first day of World Vegan Month (which runs thought November), an annual event which celebrates all things which a plant (and seed/nut)-based diet has to offer, as well as raising awareness of veganism and encouraging non-vegans to give it a whirl – even if only one month of the […]

Recently I have become more than a little obsessed with the W3ll People Expressionist mascaras. I love them and they have become a staple in both my personal and pro make-up bags. The problem with being obsessed with something is that everything else goes out of the window and previous frequently used products are more often than […]

    Sounds great! I wash my brushes with the lavender hand soap from Ecovert.
    But that’s a liquid soap. What I like about this brush soap is that it is a bar, so you have hardly any packages.
    do you know the Shagrin valley soaps? Great for hair, face or body. I only use it for my hair. I mention it because it is the same idea (no packages). You have to rinse your hair with a vinegar/water mixture afterwards to get all the soap out and close your hair (for extra shine). You don’t mention any rinsing with vinegar in you’re blog so I assume it’s not necessary with the brush soap.ReplyCancel
