Amazing Cruelty-Free Beauty Products That Cost Less Than $10
All of us should really start getting into cruelty-free beauty products. Not only are they great in quality, but animals aren't being harmed during the process. If we're using a beauty product that we know was tested on animals, we lose our attraction to the product. The fact that we know an animal was harmed in the making of that eyeliner or that eye cream, we don't want to use it. It basically makes us feel so guilty to use a product that placed the life of an animal at risk just to create it hard for us to enjoy — I'm not into that at all.

Oh, I know just how pricy makeup brushes can be. And if you're aiming for the best quality, just like most of us, then they're no doubt going to empty your wallet. Buying makeup brushes straight from stores can be super expensive. But I'm not talking about sets of brushes — just one single brush can be about $20 - $50. I'm serious; there are solo brushes that are $50, possibly more. Do you know how many good quality brushes you can buy with $50? You don't need to drop that much on just one brush.

Best Dry Shampoos for Oily Hair
Dry shampoo is a total savior for not only days that you woke up late and didn't have time to wash your hair, but for your head's healthiness as a whole.

It is an understatement to say that The Ordinary skincare range has caused a bit of a stir in the blogosphere as of late.
