So as two young females (or as we like to say “young” haha!) we love cosmetics and toiletries!! So we thought we would share our Absolutely Can’t Live without Vegan Products you will find in our bathrooms.
We will spare you the ins and outs of what’s Vegan and the horrible things you can find in common cosmetics and will get right to our top products:

There you have it our absolute favorite products! You will notice that there is no mascara’s listed on either of our lists. We have both yet to try one that we love. Urban Decay makes one that is great but they were recently bought out by L’Oreal and they are infamous for animal testing so unfortunately we are back to the drawing board on that one. We have heard that LUSH makes good Vegan mascara so we are going to try that one and get back to you!
Another item that we have not included on either of our lists is a Vegan Floss. Nezza Naturals sells a cranberry vegan floss that is wonderful but it is only available in store in Victoria BC, not online. You can get eco-Dent floss online from Amazon for reasonable prices and we have heard great things about them.
Notes about Kiss My Face and Live Clean:
Kiss My Face Products: On a whole neither of us is a big fan of ANY of their other products however Olive swears by the deodorant (We both found their shampoos and conditioners quite drying to the hair). She says she can teach back to back Pilates classes and come out smelling fresh which says a lot of a natural vegan deodorant!
Live Clean:
Although we love the products because they are vegan and “green” they are a perhaps a bit misleading. They are not as green as they claim although they are 100% vegan and cruelty free so until we find something that works and is more green they are still winners in our book! On the plus side these products are available at Shoppers Drug Mart, Wal-Mart, London Drugs or just about anywhere with a pharmacy. This is a huge bonus as most vegan cosmetics are either only available online or in specialty shops.
*Any brands with a star mean (excluding the exact product listed), that not ALL of the items they make are vegan so make sure to check the ingredients lists.
These are just a few of the many vegan products that are currently on the market. I am sure there will be many more that we will try and possibly love. Stay tuned for future additions to the already growing list of epic Olive and Button favorites.
