Eight years ago I started buying Ion products from my local Sally’s Beauty Supply.
I was soo amazed that five years into it Ion started labeling which products are Vegan friendly which makes it a lot easier for us the Vegan ConsumersšŸ‘.
I immediately started supporting all their Vegan options and seriously Ion has helped me keep my hair! I’ve gone through lots of color hair changes and damages from extream bleaching to get my hair super white to going back brunette for jobs.
Ion vegan friendly products have saved my hair! šŸ‘Œ
Today I decided to check out my local Sally’s Beauty Supply store and to my amazement Ion now has Cool blonde shampoo and conditioner!!!!!! I am solo excited because its like the purple shampoo! It brightens and tones White, silver, and blonde hair!!!!! Its Vegan and Cruelty-free and Paraben free as well! This should be a game changer for me and I’m definitely super excited about thisšŸ’–šŸ’–šŸ’–šŸ’–šŸŽ‰šŸ‘šŸ‘Œ.
I will be updating this post to see if it can reach my hair goals!.

From this new email update :

I have gotten that this company does not know where there ingredients are gotten from…

And they said ” Finish product may not be tested on animals” May not??? Do they just not know? There is definitely miscommunication between there representatives.šŸ‘Ž Unfortunately because of this email I will no longer support Ion Products. I will finish using my products and find ones that align with my beliefs.

About Axiology

Axiology is a cosmetics brand with a bold, refreshing take on beauty: we believe that kissable lips and sustainability are both sexy in equal measure—and that nobody needs to sacrifice kindness for a night on the town (or a daytime picnic!).

Products

Our products are as good for the body as they are for the planet because we’ve completely nixed chemicals and synthetics from our formula. Instead, we carefully craft from aĀ harmonious blend of natural and organic ingredients. The result? Earth-based tones that dazzle on every skin type and complexion, with a burst of vibrancy that lasts all day.

Packaging

image

Packaging With a Purpose:Ā Axiology’s lipstick boxes were sourced in Bali, Indonesia, when founder Ericka Rodriguez was visiting the stunning island. Ericka discovered a boutique recycled paper store, and after being impressed and moved by their women-run operation, decided to work with them on packaging.The paper used in our boxes is collected from all around the island—from hotels, offices and households—and is taken to a small factory. It’s then boiled down to a pulp, laid out to the sun to dry, and finally folded and decorated by hand.The gift inherent in these boxes is thatĀ their production helps trash reduction on the island, a growing concern as its population and popularity continues to rise.We at Axiology rejoice that our packaging matches the integrity and intentions behind our product, and our company’s philosophy.
Commitment
Axiology is committedĀ to supporting the earth and the animals that make it glorious. That’s why Axiology is partnering with organizations that heal the planet and save our wild animals. We are committed to donating 6% Ā of our 2015 profits to the Orangutan Foundation International. For more information on our partnership, refer to the ā€œOur Partnersā€ section down below.
Philosophy
We believeĀ in a world where using an everyday luxury like lipstick doesn’t include polluting the planet, hurting its beings, or ingesting harmful chemicals through our skin.We believeĀ in creating a product from the purest ingredients available—so we can provide a brilliant end-result and support the courageous farmers who produce our raw materials.We believeĀ that love is integrity in action—and we let it guide our business.
We believeĀ in being conscientious about how our products are crafted, and in making an honest effort to source all of our ingredients from nature.We believeĀ that truth is a vital aspect of integrity, and that words such as ā€œethically sourcedā€ and ā€œall natural ingredientsā€ are fundamental practices, not convenient marketing language.We believeĀ that our honesty earns our customers’ trust. We value that trust implicitly.
We believeĀ this precious Earth is stunning—and we strive to add to that beauty with conscious actions.We believeĀ that our customers deserve to feel beautiful while also feeling ethical about their cosmetics choices.We believeĀ that real beauty is just that:real ingredients, real people, real intentions.
Founder
Ericka’s holistic and vegan lifestyle emerged in her early twenties. She became dedicated to creating raw vegan smoothies and natural beauty recipes. Once she realized that natural compounds were rarely used in her favorite beauty product—lipstick—she decided to get in her kitchen and give it a go.The result became a labor of love and passion-project, Axiology. Combining her commitment to fruitarianism and healthier, safer cosmetics, Ericka spent over a year testing ingredients and concocting the perfect formula for Axiology’s lipstick line.Her journey took her all the way from Brooklyn, New York, to Bali, Indonesia to study ingredients and packaging options. Along the way she crafted a product that serves kind, vivacious women everywhere who want to look glamorous while giving back.Ā 
Axiology
Axiology is a luxury vegan lipstick line. Our lipsticks are natural, organic and ethical.

Vegan Police Shop
Ā Ā Ā Ā   About
Ā Ā Ā Ā  Eighteen years ago, I made a life changing decision which opened up a whole new world to me . I saw everything in a different way and physically felt less weighed down by the world. I went vegan, and to be honest, I had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t know how to cook, I didn’t understand nutrition and I had never set foot in a health food store. Despite all of this,Ā  I was feeling better than I ever . Early on, my family doctor had told me “If you continue eating like this, you are going to end up in the hospital” . It was hard to hear but only because I knew she was wrong. Here I am now, a healthy and happy 36 year old with an amazing vegan family of my own . I let the way I felt determine what I knew was right for me. Over the years , this feeling has been constantly reaffirmed by countless studies. A vegan diet is optimal for a healthy body, the planet and obviously, the animals.Ā Ā  It is my belief that humans are natural herbivores and although we are able to consume the bodies and milk of animals, it is by all means not the optimal way for us to live . My goal is to help get the message out there. Hence the title, The VeganPolice shop.Ā Ā Ā Ā  All of the items in our shop are screen printed, by hand in our little studio in Canada. We live in a little town in coastal British Columbia. We make our own buttons, shoot our on screens and mix our own colors. We only use eco-friendly water-based inks.Ā Ā Ā Ā  Vegan Police combines my two passions in life. Fighting for the animals,Ā  and art. When I am not drawing and printing, I am spending time with my little ones ; hiking in the mountains and cooking food. This is a family effort and I thank you sooo much for letting me do what I love and supporting vegan business. Go vegan for better world !! xo

Ferocious vegan

I love what this Company stands for! I love every print and want them all! It’s amazing to see how we can make a change for a better world.
There are no cons to these shirts.
Note: I will be updating this post when I get more Vegan police shop merch ā¤

Milani Cosmetics

Milani Cosmetics

image

Milani Cosmetics is a Cruelty-Free company with Vegan friendly products.
I been wearing Milani Cosmetics since before I became vegan and stopped using their products once I became Vegan due to the lack of knowledge.
You can purchase Milani Cosmetics from multiple drug stores.
I’ve personally have found them at these locations:
*Wal-Mart Super centers
*Cvs
* Walgreens
* Online

My Favorite Milani Cosmetics Product
Once I became vegan I decided that I was going to stop wearing make up. For 2 years straight I didn’t wear makeup because of the lack of knowledge of what was vegan and what wasn’t vegan.
I became Vegan in one day and have never looked back just forward, as I veganize everything I started to do research about Vegan cosmetics &  Animal Testing I slowly started wearing makeup again and becoming more aware of what I had to do to make a change.
Anyways! My favorite all time Vegan friendly product from Milani Cosmetics is the 04 Glow Baked Bronzer.
Why? Well because I can use it for Contouring my face, my cheek bones, and also in my Crease on my lids!
