Introduction

When I first started contemplating transitioning to Veganism (having been Vegetarian since I was 14) I found that Vegan products were much easier to bring into my everyday life than Vegan food - long story, but I have weird food phobias!!

My make up bag contents had to be thrown out immediately because there wasn't *one* trustworthy company in there.  As I got more involved in purchasing Vegan products, I realised how vile some of these companies actually were and I won't allow them inside my front door now.

I subscribed to the Vegan Cuts Beauty Box in May 2015 and, I swear to God, I've never looked back.  It has changed my life ☺  For those of you not aware of what this is, it is a monthly subscription service.  It costs $22.95 per month, but is cheaper if you subscribe for longer than on a rolling monthly basis.  There are 4 - 7 Cruelty-Free and Vegan Beauty products included in every box.  They're mostly sample or deluxe sample sized products, but sometimes there are full sized items included.

Since I subscribed, almost 2 years ago, I have subscribed to numerous other Vegan Beauty Boxes (Petit Vour and Teri Miyahira are the ones I've stuck with) and I have accumulated quite a substantial amount of Vegan products that I want to start using to acquire more 'favourite products'.

As I use these products, I'll post some information (prices, websites, ingredients, etc) and my thoughts on them.  Maybe they might help somebody transition completely, when they see how great the products are - honestly, what's not to love about doing our bit for animal kind while using beauty products too 👍

These products were certified Vegan and Cruelty-Free when I received them from the Subscription Box. Some products are dating back to May 2015 but they haven't been opened so I'm hoping they'll be ok to use ... we shall see 😉

Since subscribing to the subscription boxes, I have received everything needed to transition to a cruelty-free and vegan lifestyle:

• Shampoo (both dry shampoo and normal shampoo)
• Conditioner (both normal conditioner and leave in conditioner)
• Shower Gels, Body Washes, Body Scrubs
• Toothpaste 
• Deodorant
• Perfume (solid and liquid)
• Lip Gloss, Lipstick, Lip balm
• Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, Mascara
• Highlighter, Blusher, Bronzer
• Makeup Brushes
• Moisturisers, Cleansers, Toners
• Hair Masks, Facial Masks

The great thing about the subscription boxes is, if you like a product you are given, you can purchase the full size version on the relevant website and there are information cards with each Subscription box, so you will be shown how to use the product and all the information is on there too 🙂
