5 Cruelty-Free Lipsticks that are Worth the Splurge
By: Sarah Harley
Wearing red lipstick should have a positive effect on this world! Not because your pout is looking on point with a bright red, but because you’re selecting products from compassionate companies that don’t test on animals. It's a little act you can do to help end animal abuse. Because, after all, you can still look fabulous while being kind to your furry friends! Check out our picks from these cruelty-free beauty brands.
