I love Mondays and Cruelty Free Makeup.

In may, PETA held a contest on their Instagram page for a chance to win 3 lovely lip glosses, aka Lip Tar, made by a company called Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. I thought, I'd give it a go plus would make for an opportunity to share this company with all of my instagram followers. Well, guess what? I WON! I genuinely was not expecting to win and would have been thrilled for whoever won, but when Peta tagged me that I had won, I think I jumped up and down for about an hour! 

I was so excited the day I had a little package at my door from PETA. I ripped open the package and there was this sweet card written from Peta and the 3 Lip Tars. I was even more thrilled when I saw how rad the colors were.

What I love about OCC Make Up Line is the fact that they are 100% Vegan and cruelty Free. Their make up is bright and bold. Their make up really does help their cruelty-free customers stand out more and look even more beautiful than they already are. Don't believe me? Go search the Hash Tag "OCC" or "LIPTAR" holy moly those people look incredible! If only I had such beauty! wow! 

They have so many colors and I can't wait to get my hands on a ton more.

I go through Lip Gloss, Lip Sticks and Chapstick pretty fast because I have big, natural, lips that eat it all up. What I love about OCC Lip Tar is that a little drop of it, goes a long way and it LASTS. These small Lip tars will last you a LONG time. I should know, I have huge lips! Lip anything doesn't last very long. 

A lot of make up companies still, unfortunately, test on animals which honestly makes NO sense. Like Ricky Gervais once said: 

 "Don't get shampoo in your eyes. It stings. There. Done. Now you can stop torturing animals. Ban testing cosmetics on the innocent."

Same goes for Make up, get an allergic reaction? Stop using it. Simple.

I'm no angel, I'm sure I use things tested on animals or something that may have harmed an animal, but what I do know is that I'm trying. AS long as we all try and do our part, the world would be a better place. 

It isn't easy living a vegan life style in a non-vegan world, but we have to try to do what we can.

So check out Peta's website for cruelty-free make up and skin care. Remember that MOST organic companies don't and won't test on animals. Don't beat yourself up if you're not looking out for these things, but maybe now you can think a little bit about it on your next shopping list!

Ill have to take another pic with the 3rd Lip tar and update soon!
