Soap
I also recommend Shampoo and Conditioner.
But don't eat this stuff, its disgusting.
Nivea! :D
... Some of my favorite products from them are no longer being made in Germany! D:
Now I have to import their original products. God, I love Germany.
Dove Ultimate visibly smooth deodorant, St. Ives, Dove and Bath & Body Works (Aromatherapy line) lotion, St. Ives Apricot Scrub, Pantene, Herbal Essences, Garnier hair spray and sometimes Bed Head TIGI.
Perfect Potion, mostly. It's organic, natural stuff. I think it's only made in Australia, though :(
And some Garnier, but I want to phase that out.
I used to make my own deodorant, but now I'm too lazy, so I just use Perfect Potion's one.
DaVroe for shampoo and conditioner. It's paraben free, which is important to me. Though I'd like to find one without SLS's etc.
Do you use cruelty free makeup? I'm looking for a good cruelty free waterproof mascara.
I don't wear makeup, my skin is fucked up enough without clogging it :(
If I come across something, I'll let you know :) Are you in the USA? (Just for availability, etc)
Incidentally, if you're into natural stuff and whatnot, do you know a good brand of bodywash without parabens and such?
The DaVroe is also vegan, btw.
I don't insist on natural products, but I really like Dr Bronner's soaps. I think they're paraben free. They're definitely cruelty free.
The packaging has crazy nonsense written all over it, but it gets you SO CLEAN.
I found my ethical shopping guide! The following are cruelty free brands. I don't know if they're good or not. I've included brand name, the company and the country that the company is from, as well, just in case that helps/matters.
Innoxa (Innoxa Herigtage brands) - Aus
Natio (Natio) - Aus
MiEssense (ONEgroup) - Aus
Face of australia (Ross Cosmetics) - Aus
Zuii (Zuii Organics) - Aus
ecotools (Eco Tools: Paris Presents) - USA (also vegan)
Prestige Cosmetics (Prestige Cosmetics) - USA
Artiste (Youngblood) - USA
Spa Universe (True Solutions) - Aus
These are the ones listed with a company rating of "praises, no criticisms". I can send you a list of "lesser praise, no criticisms" if you need more.
You probably already know better than I do the ones that are boycotted, so I won't overload you with more useless info.
Thanks for the tip :) I'm always more concerned looking for the iky chwmicals more than the cruelty free (not that I would knowingly buy it, it's just not my primary though thet) but nice thing about a lot of natural products is that they have cruelty free stuff.
Thanks for the tip, I'll see if I can spot a mascara next time I'm out :)
If I see an appealing looking floater in a service station toilet, preferably one the size of the average otter but I'm not too picky, I like to fish it out, scrub it all over my face and arms, then form a thick lather by peeing on myself whilst gently caressing it into every pore in my body...
Really gets the ladies going.
I don't use make up, but hygiene wise, Dove, Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret. Anything that's going to make me feel nice and fresh, and smell good. I sound like a stripper.
Arm & Hammer toothpaste, Arm & Hammer deodorant, Arm & Hammer detergent and Arm & Hammer baking soda. Arm & Hammer so it is "ARMOR STRONG".
Ok, here we go. I have naturally straight hair and fair skin with freckles that doesn't get too much acne, but gets oily in the T-zone.
Here's what I use for skin care and bath stuff:
•Shampoo: TRESemmé Smooth and Silky. It's cheap, and it gets the job done.
•Conditioner: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Fortifying Conditioner, For Frizzy, Dry, Unmanageable Hair. My hair is none of these things, to be honest, but this conditioner keeps my hair soft and smelling like apricots. I've tried their 95% biodegradable conditioner. Don't bother. It made my hair sticky. I would've been better off with no conditioner at all.
•Shower gel: Axe body gel. My fiancé picks this. It's fine.
•Face soap: Clean & Clear Morning Burst. It's got caffeine in it or something? It smells like candy.
•Piercing soap: Dial Gold.
•Astringent: Sea Breeze astringent.
•Face lotion: Olay unscented.
•Body/tattoo lotion: Lubriderm, unscented.
•Perfume: pure vanilla extract, if I feel like it.
•After sun: Mary Kay After-Sun Replenishing Gel. I believe this is THE BEST after sun lotion out there, and it's not too expensive on Amazon. I'm pretty sure they have to kill unicorns and fairies to harvest the magical ingredients or some shit, it's amazing.
Here's what I use for my makeup:
•Foundation: L'Oréal true match. I have the cream and the powder. The cream is SPF 17, I think, which is good for daily use. They're not stellar foundations, but they're fine for the price.
•Concealer: Some CoverGirl Fresh Complexion shit that sort of works, I guess? Their undereye concealer is supposed to be good, but it's practically useless for me. I have really serious dark circles, though.
•Correcting concealer: NYX full coverage concealer. I just got it in yellow, orange, and green. NYX, incidentally, is a cruelty-free brand.
•Eyeliner: Black liquid eyeliner. I don't know what brand it is, but it kind of sucks anyway, so that's no loss. I also have a white NYX mechanical eye pencil that I just got.
•Mascara: CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion. I actually really love this mascara. The brush is slightly awkward, but the mascara lengthens my lashes perfectly.
•Eyeshadow primer: NYX primer in skin tone. It gets the job done, but smells a bit like old lady makeup, so if you're really smell sensitive, I don't recommend it. It's cheap, though.
•Eyeshadow: Usually the NYX runway palette in caviar & bubbles.
•Blush: NYX blush in pinched.
•Lip colour: Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter. I have it in berry smoothie and strawberry shortcake. It's also cruelty free, if I'm not mistaken.
So uh, that's what I use. I didn't realise I put so many things on my body.
A bit of everything in all honesty. I could list everything I use but that would take all day, and you probably don't want to hear it. I like The Body Shop because some of their products specify what skin type it works best for. I use a lot of their Vitamin E products because they're quite light.
I use No7 moisturiser for oily skin, and I use Biore exfoliant for when my skin's being a bitch. LUSH's Ocean Salt is also amazing. Erm... I use Simple a lot as well because their products are good for sensitive skin. I often use their facial wipes and eye makeup removers because they don't sting.
I use Timotei shampoo because it's not too strong, but for conditioner I prefer to use TRESemmé because it's deeper and makes my hair smoother. I usually just opt for cheap stuff because I can't afford really expensive brands.
