My Top 10 Cruelty-Free Products!
2016 was a big year for me… Moving out, getting married, visiting all the 50 states, writing a book, turning 30 and becoming almost 100% vegan! Yes!! This was so special! I had to learn how to shop for products in a new way, read ingredients list and It was fun! Learning about beauty products for the new me in 2016 was also very exciting, I took the time to do some research, read recommendations along the way and by the end of 2016 this is the picture I got of some of my favorite brands that are either cruelty-free or vegan! So let me introduce you to my top 10 products of 2016!
Sol de Janeiro
This is one of my favorite brands to shop at Sephora and it’s not only because they are inspired by my home country but their products are simply the best. The lip butter, the shower gel and the bum bum cream are amazing and smell sooo good! Make sure to try It when you’re at your local Sephora! Click HERE to check their website!
Dry Shampoo- Batiste
I looove dry shampoos but finding the perfect one can be a long process! I’ve tried different brands in the past and liked some of them but Batiste remains my favorite one to this day! This is the brown for dark hair but I love all of the options available! Click HERE for the website!
Radiant Creamy Concealer – Nars
I have “severe under eyes circle” and the radiant creamy concealer from Nars is one of the best ones out there! It doesn’t cover my under eyes circles completely but it helps a lot and offers a natural coverage that I love. My color is ginger! Click HERE to check the website!
Deep Hair Cream – NOVEX
My hair loves keratin! This is another Brazilian brand that you find here in America! Affordable and great to recover damaged hair, I loved their moisturizing masks and I apply it once or twice a week. Click HERE for the Novex website!
Night Cream – Ecco Bella
This vegan brand has everything: from body lotion to face powder! I spoke more about their products on a previous post, click here to read! My favorite so far is the night cream, I love how my skin feels in the morning! Click HERE to visit the official website!
Eye Cream- Sibu
Problematic skin anyone?! Sibu is another vegan company that I had the pleasure to find and I’ve been using their products ever since and the eye cream is one of my favorite products! Click HERE to read more about the products and HERE for the official website!
Shampoo- Carol’s Daughter
I literally typed “vegan hair care products at drugstores” and found a list of suggestions. I was standing at the shampoo aisle so when I saw that Carol’s Daughter was on the list and in front of me, I grabbed it right away and it became a favorite of mine! They have different hair products available but so far I’ve only tested their shampoo and my hair loves it! Click HERE for the official website!
Cleanser – Susan Ciminelli
I had the pleasure of meeting Susan when I made an appintment to try her popular facial treatment, (yes, the one that hollywood celebrities looove and wait for her to fly to the west coast every couple of weeks). Susan has her own beauty line and one of my favorites products is the Pore Minimizing Cleanser! Seriously, my skin loves it! It cleans deeply without irritating or being aggressive and it leaves my skin super soft and cleaner! Thanks Susan!! Click HERE to check her website!
Big and Bigger Lashes – Milani
Milani is growing more and more popular and it couldn’t be different: their products are good and affordable! I love all the options they offer but the one that stole my heart is this mascara! You can easily find Milani at any drugstore and other beauty stores! Click HERE to check the website!
Gradual Tanning Moisturiser – EcoTan
Hello to all the girls out there who live in this crazy freezing weather like me but still wanna look tanned! EcoTan is a vegan brand from Australia that offers a gradual tanning moisturiser that (in my opinion and experience) works! Another plus is that it is organic and all the ingredients are natural!

So that’s it for my favorite products of 2016!! Please let me know if you have other cruelty free products that you recommend and I’m gonna do my best to try them!
