4/5 cruelty-free products this month from Birchbox!
This months box consisted of 5 products:
- ModelCo Baked Highlighter in Moonshine
- Beautaniq Beauty – Fill and Tame Brow Gel
- Cath Kidston Hand Cream
- Whish Shave Cream
- Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow
Within the box, I got a 25% off leaflet to spend at Cath Kidston.
ModelCo Baked Highlighter
It’s obvious I like a product when I don’t put it back in the Birchbox ready to look at it another day. That product this month is the highlighter by ModelCo. I got to choose out of 2 shades which I’d prefer – and I got my chosen one, ‘Moonshine’. I don’t know if it’s a sample size or full size but at 1.5g/0.05 oz, you don’t get much. Not a problem – who uses that much highlighter anyways? (hello Kardashians) It’s super shiny and goes on like a dream. I used an eyeshadow brush to apply it on my cheekbones (with a few strokes). It stayed on all day too.
The highlighter is NOT cruelty-free, so I personally wouldn’t buy it again – however, ModelCo is slowly going the cruelty-free way, as they have a Vegan section on their website….. check it out here: https://www.modelcocosmetics.com/shop/vegan/
Cath Kidston Hand Cream
After much Googling, I do believe this hand cream is cruelty-free. Fab fab fab!
The smell is beautiful and fresh; it made my hands feel extremely moisturized. Took about a minute to dry which isn’t a bad thing seeing as though I’m typing this after applying. A little seems to go a looooong way and the one I got is 30ml.
Beautaniq Beauty fill and tame brow gel
“Nourishing tinted brow gel”
This looks promising but I use Wunderbrow so I don’t think I’ll use this #soz (unless I run out ofc)
It has an icon on the tube which says cruelty-free – hurrah!
It looks like it’d be useful for those lazy days when I can’t be bothered to perfect my brows but want them styled, shaped and tinted.
Whish Shave Cream
Smells lush; smoothes on the skin like a dream and has a moisturizing effect; it’s slightly shimmery too. I got 22ml which, to be honest with my long legs and big thighs didn’t go far.
On the tube, it says, “tested on us, not animals” – another cruelty-free product! Amazing!
Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow
This illuminator is too dark for my skin but has amazing reviews online from ladies saying it, “enhanced my skin” and “gave me a fab healthy glow”. It can be used as a primer, which is handy as well as a moisturizer.
Even though it’s too dark for me, I gave it a whirl by adding it to some other white moisturizer (it helped dilute the colour making it lighter) and I could definitely see a glow. I only put it on my cheeks (as I have an oily forehead) and it made them look plump and fresh.
Cruelty-free again as confirmed on their website https://www.marcelle.com/en/faq
