Hello again all! I've recently had a few people ask me about Vegan and cruelty free products and if I had any recommendations for some. The answer to that question is yes I do! Most (nearly all) of these products are actually affordable and below the typical high end RTP of £30. So buckle up I have a lot to go through!
Foundations
Now as a pale person, it is difficult to find a cruelty free foundation that is pale, I used MAC Face and Body in White for almost 2 years before I found out they aren't cruelty free (they also discontinued it) and it was probably my most used foundation because, of the texture and the buildable coverage. I've been on the hunt for a cruelty free alternative for a while and I've found my top 5 foundations!
1. Illamasqua Skin Base 100 and 115.
RTP: £31
RTP: £31
Now, I said that most of these products are below £30 but, it's only SLIIIIIGHTLY above. I actually got my foundation off Ebay for around £22 but, if you want to buy it from an actual store it's £31 give or take. I don't use this foundation as often as I thought, mainly because of it heavy consistency and the fact it makes me break out a lot (Damn you skin) BUT, if you're looking for a high coverage pale cruelty free foundation I would recommend these! The shade 100 is pure white, I mainly use it when I'm mixing foundations to match my skin, whereas the shade 115 is light with a slight undertone. A good shade if you're not too eager to go for a full on white face.
2. Manic Panic Dreamtone in White.
RTP: £11
RTP: £11
This has always been my go to mixing shade when I didn't want to waste my more expensive foundations, I originally got mine at Cyberdog but, I recently got some on Attitude Clothing. This shade is one of those shades that are a pain in the behind to get hold of because, it's always out of stock. Luckily though I think it is available at Attitude Clothing still! When you first look at this it looks like glue and it smells like glue. Yo, Timika did I just buy glue wtf man?. Don't be alarmed by this though, it is a foundation I promise! This is probably the closest I could get to my Mac F&B with the consistency and the ability to be buildable. This has always been my go to foundation to mix and to use by itself.
3. Makeup Revolution Foundation in White and Light.
RTP: £4
I haven't always been a fan of drugstore foundations. I just never liked the consistency or the smell. Most of them are oily and make me break out a ton. BUT, alas the saviour of all white drugstore foundation. Makeup Revolution have been throwing out there palette dupes left right and centre. So we have all known about them for some time (ah, the infamous chocolate bar dupes)
4. Lush Jackie Oates
RTP: £9
RTP: £9
I didn't know this actually existed until I saw grav3yardgirl mix it with her foundation to make it paler. This can be used as a normal foundation but, it is sheer and not very buildable. I mainly use it when I'm going for a more 'natural' looking face rather than my extremely pale face. It's very good for evening out your skin tone if you have more of a neutral skin tone. I found this in Lush in the beauty section and there are various other shades of skin tones and supplements to mix in with your foundation to make it a more better match.
5. Stargazer Foundation in White.
RTP: £8
RTP: £8
This is basically a cheaper alternative to the Manic Panic Dreamtone foundation and I am sure you can pick this up at your local alternative store and sometimes even costume shops. This texture a slightly more watery to the Manic Panic one and the scent is honestly terrible but, don't be alarmed as this fades and once it's on your skin you honestly cannot smell it at all. The best thing to do is not to use this foundation on its own but, more as a mixing colour to make your foundation paler.
Eyeshadow
Now, when it comes to eyeshadows I like them all. Every Colour, Every Shape, everything. I've never owned a eyeshadow that wasn't Cruelty Free (as far as I'm aware.) below I've gotten all of my eyeshadows together! Whether you like neutrals or colours, I've added everything down below!
1. Sugarpill
Singles: £8
Palettes: £24
Now, I think it wouldn't be a good list if Sugarpill weren't on it. Come on, seriously. The colours and the pigmentation that Sugarpill provides is amazing. If you haven't heard of Sugarpill you should definitely check them out.

2. SUVA Beauty.
Singles: £7
Palettes: £34
This is another one of those brands that I found by accident. I was looking at makeup tutorials on youtube and I saw a girl using the colours and I fell in love basically. Although, this brand is fairly new. The sizes of the pans and the rich colour intensity and also the texture. If you're like me and you love wearing makeup then I would get your hands on these. The pans of these palettes and singles are huge. They will last you probably a year or 2 if you used them everyday. If you want more information check out the website! I am currently waiting for my order from them so much more with this brand coming soon!

3. Shiro Cosmetics
RTP: £2- £8
RTP: £2- £8
I actually discovered this brand completely by accident. I think I was looking for a Pokemo makeup tutorial and stumbled across a makeup collection completely dedicated to Pokemon. You can actually find it here! They also have alot of other collections and products dedicated to internet culture and gaming! The texture of these products are so buttery and they blend so well. I may possibly do an indie brand spotlight in the future but, you should check out this brand. If you don't want to waste money on international shipping, Cute Cosmetics sells this brand aswell!
4. Makeup Revolution
RTP: £2-£12
Makeup Revolution once again sliding there way into my list. I think we all know by now that, MR is probably one of the only decent Drugstore brands there is. There Chocolate palette dupes are honestly to die for and the prices for there items is ridiculously cheap. I own 7 palettes by them as of now and I can 100% say that they are my favourite drugstore brand for eyeshadows and highlighters. It's funny how my obsession only started with them when I received there Golden Sugar palette as a gift and now, here I am.

5. BH Cosmetics
RTP: £8
If you've kept up to date with my recent posts you would know that I am utterly obsessed with BH Cosmetics. The cheapness of there products, the pigmentation. Everything. The themes that this brand have are also adorable and some of the colour combinations of the palettes are also very unique and can open your eyes to alot more ideas.

6. Medusas Makeup Eye Dust
£4
This is hands down my favourite loose pigment formula, when you touch it, it literally feels like nothing as it's so smooth and creamy. I would recommend using a primer with these though, as they have A LOT of fallout and crease on the lid (they do for me but, I also have hooded oily eyelids)but, the pigmentation and the colour pay off is so worth it. I would recommend checking them out.

Lipsticks
If you know me well, you know that I am possibly the worst lipstick hoarder. Although, I mainly have dark colours but, some of these actually come in a lot of different colour varieties. These are mostly all Liquid Matte lipsticks unless stated otherwise and they're all affordable!
1. Jeffree Star
RTP: £14
I've been madly obsessed with Jeffree since my scene kid phase so when I found out he was releasing a makeup line I was over the moon. The colour selection of his Lipsticks are amazing, I pretty much own nearly every colour as of now. The texture of it is creamy and the smell is a sweet vanilla. Although, like all Liquid to Matte Lipsticks, they are really drying on your lips so make sure to really soak your lips in some good moisturiser or balm before you apply.
This formula is actually incredible and lasts throughout the day.

2. Colourpop
**REVIEW COMING SOON**
We've all heard about the infamous colourpop and how the products they provide are highly pigmented. I would agree. The products that I own (which are alot of lipsticks) are amazing with pigments and are lightweight and wearable. They sell anything from Sheer to Satin and to Matte so the selection you get with these products are amazing and at £4 a lipstick you really cannot complain.

3. Limecrime
God forbid Limecrime. You either love them or hate them. I have a lot of people tell me that it makes there lips burn or makes them really dry but, personally I've never had that problem. You can disregard this option depending on your views on them, no biggie!
Onto the positives- The colour variety and the formula and smell is gorgeous (the smell is a mix of vanilla and bubblegum it's so sweet but, you can't smell them once they're on.) I have 7 Lipsticks by them and I use them all daily. They're the only brand that I've come across that have a cool hot orange colour. (Also let's not forget the cute packaging, I'm a sucker for it.)
