Wow Today my international publication with @jutemagazine turns 4 years!!!!Holy Cow 🐮 Where has time gone??🙈Thank you Facebook memories for reminding me😹♥️ {Magazine: @jutemagazine Vol.VIIIpart2 📸Photography: @snapsstudio 🎨MUAH: @muatonyyanez (myUncle)

💁🏽‍♀️Model: @creestaaal @veganmakeupshare } {Just A Little Note: @tartecosmetics Is a 🐰Cruelty-Free Brand certified by @peta Let it be noted that Tarte Cosmetics’s Parent company is KOSÉ a Japanese PC who does test on animals. Although Tarte itself does not sell their products in the Chinese market where Animal Testing is required. I personally stopped supporting Tarte once the Acquirement happened because unfortunately the brand and PC couldn’t answer my questions and as you can see I was a huge customer which unfortunately for them made me withdraw my support from their products💔

If a brand cannot answer their own customers questions/concerns regarding their Acquirement in my Personal opinion that just sucks!We live in a capitalist world&unfortunately most brands will continue to sell out to the same PC we are boycotting.Whether it be food, makeup&clothing.Yes it’s very frustrating!Its a Catch-22(“a dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions.”)

For the animals we are trying help.

I say support your indie brands& truly Cruelty-Free&Vegan brands first&if you want to make our lifestyle accessible4everyone else then you can support the others if you want.Progress over perfection.Do whatever you can.We all have different situations happening inour lives}

Zabana Essentials Glow Stick

Zabana Essentials Vegan🌱 & Cruelty-Free 🐰
About Zabana Essentials:

image

Welcome! My name is Shanell Edwards, I am the founder of Zabana Essentials (Pronounced: Zab-Ana Essentials), located in San Diego, California. It is my mission to offer Pure 100% Natural & Vegan Cosmetics. Zabana Essentials got its start when I began my quest to find affordable natural-hypoallergenic bath and body products that would not irritate my sensitive skin. I was a college graduate, attempting to start my career in the workforce and was on a tight budget like many and found it difficult to afford many of the well-known natural products on the retail shelves. After reading labels and realizing that I had some of the natural ingredients already in my kitchen, I decided to begin researching and experimenting and found the answers to my quest were right at my fingertips.
It is now my goal to offer affordable Natural – Vegan – Human Friendly – Cruelty Free Cosmetics that are not only nurturing for the skin, but enjoyable, attractive, and smell great! I’d like to be able to reach consumers who may not fit the stereotypical natural products consumer of the past, but people just like me. People who are seeking healthy, non-intimidating alternatives, for their everyday lifestyle.
  What does Zabana Mean?!?!?!
I often hear “What does Zabana mean?”, “That’s a unique name.” Zabana means Savannah in the Native American Taino dialect. What is special about a Zabana to us? A Zabana is a grassy plain eco-system that may contain an abundance of herbaceous plants that lend benefits to us humans. For centuries therapeutic oils have been extracted from natural plant matter to promote good health and well-being. All Zabana Essentials products are of plant derived origin, and every formulation we use the essence of herbs, whether it be through the use of dry herbs or essential oils, herbal or vegetable based body oils and butters. I believe it is vital that we use the nutrients provided to us by mother earth, as we can find an abundance of benefits using what has been provided to us.

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 a 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: 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 that 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 committed 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%  of our 2015 profits to the Orangutan Foundation International. For more information on our partnership, refer to the “Our Partners” section down below.
Philosophy
We believe 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 believe 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 believe that love is integrity in action—and we let it guide our business.
We believe in being conscientious about how our products are crafted, and in making an honest effort to source all of our ingredients from nature.We believe that truth is a vital aspect of integrity, and that words such as “ethically sourced” and “all natural ingredients” are fundamental practices, not convenient marketing language.We believe that our honesty earns our customers’ trust. We value that trust implicitly.
We believe this precious Earth is stunning—and we strive to add to that beauty with conscious actions.We believe that our customers deserve to feel beautiful while also feeling ethical about their cosmetics choices.We believe 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. 
Axiology
Axiology is a luxury vegan lipstick line. Our lipsticks are natural, organic and ethical.

Vegan Police Shop
      About
     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,  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.   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.     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.     Vegan Police combines my two passions in life. Fighting for the animals,  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 ❤

I used the shade in Fair.
I felt as if I didn’t have any make-up on, not clumpy at all. The shade in fair was personally too light for my skin tone but it still looked amazing on.
