Cruelty Free South African Beauty Brands

South African Beauty Companies that are Cruelty Free

Hi everyone,

At the beginning of the year, I posted about saying no to animal cruelty. I was absolutely thrilled when Jen Mathews from My Beauty Bunny contacted me about doing a guest blog post on South African beauty companies that are cruelty free (now do you see why I kept asking via twitter and facebook hehe). My Beauty Bunny is an award winning blog on all things cruelty free. I often check brands on their list to see if they are cruelty free, and Jen constantly updates it which helps a lot. 

Check out the guest post that I wrote for them and have a look at which SA beauty brands are cruelty free!

ps: If you are a South African beauty company that is cruelty free, please contact me so I can add you to the list.

GUEST POST: Spring Eco-Fashion

Eco-friendly spring/summer look

Getting an eco-friendly look is easier than you may have thought! Some say that being ethical is too expensive to be worth the trouble, but here’s the proof that you don’t need a lot of money to get the peace of mind of dressing up nicely, while not harming the environment:

Earrings - Minted Strawberry | Bag - Sea Bags | Dress - Amour Vert | Watch - Sprout | Sandals - Krista

Let’s break this look down into pieces. First of all, it’s colorful and fun, just what you need for spring-summer. It’s also comfortable, chic and eco-friendly! The dress is made from sustainable peace silk, and it features a cute paisley print and simple, straight shape. It’s a great piece to start an outfit with! The sandals are made of vegan leather, and they feature bright colors and animal prints that are so in right now. You’re going to love wearing them time and time again! The star bag we picked is nautical in style, and it’s made of recycled materials - but that doesn’t make it any less gorgeous! Those cute earrings? Made of paper! And you can easily DIY a pair at home, using a stencil and some old pieces of paper. Finally, cork makes an appearance in the form of a cool watch, which also features organic cotton, corn resin and conflict-free diamonds. What do you say, easy enough for you?
