If you are anything like me, you want to be cruelty free in your cosmetic use. For some time, I have been trying to find the perfect, cruelty free brands. I wanted to know that there wasn't an animal being tortured so that I could have a pretty face. Whenever I see a rack of makeup or a makeup counter, I try to find products that have not been tested on animals and I come up shirt every time. I recently made a full transition to cruelty free cosmetics.

Here are some of the cruelty free brands that I use and where to find them:

1. theBalm

The first time I came across this brand, I was shoppping on Amazon. They have a selection of theBalm products that you can get delivered to you if you, like me, do not feel like leaving the house all the time. This brand can also be purchased at makeup counters in Kohls and on Kohls' website. theBalm also has a website on which you can examine their products and buy them if you desired to.

2. W7

This brand has wonderful, bold eyeshadows, which I find sometimes lacks in cruelty free brands. This is another one that I have stumbled upon in one my Amazon "window" shopping sprees. I have found this in Bealls and TJ Maxx on occasion. W7 also has a website that you can peruse for your makeup needs.

3. LORAC

This brand has amazing contour palettes and liquid lipsticks. This is a little bit pricier than the others I have listed, but I have found it to be worth the cost. I purchased this brand's contour palette at Kohls, but it can also be purchased at Ulta. I have even come across this brand on Amazon.

4. e.l.f.

You have probably seen this brand at many drugstores. It is on the cheaper side of the makeup spectrum and had some good products. I use e.l.f. primer, setting mist, and mascara. I have yet to be disappointed by this brand. I have found e.l.f. in Target, Walmart, KMart, Walgreens, and, sometimes, TJMaxx. I have also purchased e.l.f. products on Amazon.

5. NYX

The first time I bought this brand's prducts was in Target. I love their eyeshadow primer, matte lipstick, and their eyeshadow. I have found their products at Ulta and CVS. These products can also be bought on Amazon and the NYX website. In some areas, NYX has its own stores where you can but these cosmetics.

If you are unsure as to whether or not a brand is cruelty free, you can always contact them directly to find out that information. Keep in mind that not all cruelty free brands are Leaping Bunny certified, because that can raise the cost of the products.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
