Interview with Cruelty-Free Phyrra
Editor-in-Chief | Phyrra
Phyrra: Beauty for the Bold
VMS: Whats your ig name/s? @Phyrra
VMS: What’s your real name? Courtney
VMS: Are you vegan? How long? Iâm not vegan, but my blog is a cruelty free beauty blog and I support cruelty free and vegan brands.
VMS: Why did you become cruelty free? I went cruelty free in 2012 when MAC started selling in China and testing on animals. I was devastated by this so it pushed me into going cruelty free.
VMS:What does Cruelty-Free mean to you? For me cruelty free means no testing on animals and not selling in China. I support cruelty free brands even if their parent company is not cruelty free because I believe it will lead to the eventual elimination of animal testing. I do understand that all ingredients were tested on animals at one time, but that does not mean that we need to be barbaric and still test on animals. I also understand that this is a very personal choice for people so with my blog I try to provide cruelty free options without judging or saying âyou suck for not using cruelty freeâ.
VMS: What’s your other social media?

Creestaaal Sanchez is an inspirational second generation Latina resident of Moreno Valley, California. She decided to go vegan almost 7 years ago and she has never looked back. It was difficult for her to transition to veganism because of her familyâs disapproval of her decision, until today they donât approve that she doesnât eat âmeat.â Latino food is laden with meat and animal products. I know so because I am Latina too. I also know that family plays a huge role in our culture. Itâs hard when your family doesnât want to listen to your reasons and instead judges and makes fun of you because you donât want to eat animals anymore.I think that Creestaaalâs resilience and her own experience with her family inspired her to launch Hispanic Vegans of Instagram(@hispanicvegansofig). She created a space where she promotes cruelty-free Latino recipes to prove that itâs possible for Latinos to eat our traditional foods without harming animals.Besides her endless work to help more animals by raising awareness about veganism within the Latino community, Creestaaal has rescued countless animals, her most recent rescued is a hen named Blondie. I know her calling in animal rescue work has caused some financial hardships, but her passion towards the animals is stronger than a vet bill. When I am down due to all the injustices that take place in this planet, I think about Creestaaal and the work she does. Her passion energizes me, her ability to take care of seven dogs, being a regular at animal rights protests in Southern California and more are my spark to keep fighting for the animals, and social justice.Note: Creestaaal is a published model and also runs a vegan makeup sharing instagram ( @VeganmakeupShare ), a vegan gardening instagram,( @TheVegangardener ) and she has a facebook fan page.

Lanolin Horror
(Image found on random Google search. Edited for @VeganmakeupShare)
Say No to Lanolin
Lanolin is a sheep by product ( Any Animal by product isn’t Vegan) which means its Not Vegan Lanolin can be replaced with plantbased oils!
What is Lanolin
Lanolin is in the sheeps wool and its a form of protection for the sheep against temperatures and insects. So the Sheep definitely need their lanolin & wool. The wool industry is very cruel to sheep:(.
Here’s a quick list of ingredients you should avoid that are Lanolin:
(Sheep by products)
Lanolin is Everywhere So Watch out for these Crucial Ingredients
* woolwax
* woolfat
* sterols
* LanolinAlcohol
* Laneth
* IsopropylLanolate
* LanolinAcids
* Lanogene
Lanolin by products are in ALOT! of Beauty Products
Unless the company is Vegan or has Vegan friendly products
Hope This Helps!

What is Carmine?
Carmine
(Image random goggle search.
Edited for: @VeganmakeupShare)
Would You Put Insects in your FACE????
Do you eat insects?… Do you wear insects? Did you know Carmine also known as:
* Cochineal
*NaturalRed4
* E120 Carmine
* E120 Cochineal extract
* CI 75470
(E120: Carmine, Carminic acid, Cochineal. Origin: Natural red food colour isolated from the insects Dactylopius coccus, living on different species of succulents. E120(i) is the pure colour, whereas E120(ii) is the crude extract.)
What Exactly Goes on?
Natural red food colour that is isolated from the insects(Cochineal) Dactylopius coccus, living on different species of succulents.
E120(i) is the pure colour,
is an insect that is crushed alived to put in EYESHADOWS, LIPSTICKS, EYELINER, BLUSH, LIPGLOSS, FOUNDATION, MASCARA basically alot of makeup companies include it in their beauty products( Except if they are an all Vegan and Cruelty-Free company! Or have vegan friendly options!)
Did You know?
It takes 700,000 Female Cochineals to be crushed alived to make 1 pound of red carmine. There’s lots of Earthlings who are allergic to Carmine worldwide. Obviously Carmine isn’t Vegan. So watch out for it!
It’s in many food products as well, and in clothes dye.
Hope this quick information can help you!!!

It’s Very sad that many representatives don’t know WHAT IS VEGAN!!! & What is not Vegan.
Which is confusing soo many new vegans, and other Earthlings.#VEGANISM is a lifestyle( You choose) that avoids exploitation or cruelty to animals( sentiment beings,heart beats, blood,etc), we don’t wear, eat, support or partake in ANY Cruelty, & animal by products because we choose to boycott all these industries for the animals. #fiber3dmascaraNotVegan #beeswax #beeswaxisntvegan
