Vegan Cosmetics

I work for one of the US's major cosmetic retailers where I have access to so many different lines of makeup and skincare that it is overwhelming to our clients, and to me even after 8 months of exposure.  I wanted to share a few of my favorites :-)
URBAN DECAY!!!! http://www.urbandecay.com/   The pigments are vivid, you can use it for day or night, wicked packaging and they are always expanding their line.  The tinted moisturizer is great as well as the makeup remover and I love the packaging it comes is, looks nice on the vanity! http://www.urbandecay.com/categories/CleanandSober.cfm
They have a vegan pallet and advertise in my favorite veg mag  http://www.vegnews.com/web/home.do

A more grown up line from one of the original creators of Urban Decay is HOURGLASS.
http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com/  It is pricy, I use the foundation and the primer for special days and occasions, and the cruelty free #2 foundation brush is totally worth it. http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com/index.php?type=face&item=face_primer

http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com/index.php?type=brushes&item=brushes  The Film Noir mascara is my favorite, I am fortunate enough to receive gratis at work and I have tons of mascara, but I will but more of this.

Smashbox is another cruelty free brand http://www.smashbox.com/
I am not a huge fan of this brand, but that does not mean it will not work for everyone.  They have great products, but the pigments of the shadows aren't stong enough for my taste, I love bright color!

I am going to start looking in to skincare next, but for now I really like Fresh http://www.fresh.com/
I LOVE the shampoo and conditioner, the serum is great as well as the clay mask, soy cleanser, black tea eye cream and soy scrub. 

How could I forget!!!!!!  LUSH!!!!!! I have been a customer for years, still my fav for bath and body!
http://www.lush.com/

OK, I will stop now, I could go on and on on this stuff...
