Special Edition Cruelty - Free Week Box

Vegan Cuts is a monthly subscription box dedicated to helping you find new vegan products you'll love. There are 2 different boxes to choose from; the Snack Box & the Beauty Box.

The Snack box has 7-10 100% vegan goodies from cookies & chips to sodas & teas. Basically if it's vegan & can be shipped in a small box, you may just find it in a Vegan Cuts Snack Box.

The Beauty Box has 4-5 cruelty free beauty items. They can be eye shadows & lipsticks to face masks & shampoo.

Each box costs 19.95 per month, ships mid month (don't quote me on that) & you can cancel any time.

VC also has an easy to navigate online market place where you can find other vegan or cruelty free products.

DISCLAIMER: I purchased this box myself. I was not paid to write this review nor do I work for Vegan Cuts.

Now on to the review

Schmidt's

Aluminum-free deodorant cream in a warm, woodsy scent.

I received the scent Cedarwood + Juniper. I've never smelt either of these scents but I do love the woodsy scent. Schmit's deodorants come with a little silver spatula to help you get the deodorant out of the jar.

Blissoma

I've heard about blissmoa. Everyone who uses organic/natural products, raves about this brand. This moisturizer is great for normal, combination, oily, & sensitive skin types. I'm exited to try this & see what it does for my skin.

I don't use face masks no particular reason. However I will try this & see if this help my skin any.

I love that this is a 16oz bottle of shampoo! YAY!! Ths specific shampoo says it's for dry/treated hair. What I wouldn't have done for a bottle of this while I was still dying my hair ever color of the rainbow. My hair was not a pretty sight.

THE HSUS

the HSUS's Be Cruelty-Free branded travel bag with a Leaping Bunny approved list of companies and a card for pledging to be cruelty-free.

Cute little make up bag. 

Thats everything that came in my Cruelty Free beauty box. Although the website says 10-15 items I only got 7. I paid $27.00 for it & the total value of all 7 items comes to $105.88. That exceeds the $50 value of the box! Definitely worth the 27 bucks!

Product Review: Death By Lavender Deodorant

Let me preface this by saying I'm not someone who sweats a lot or often. So I don't have a need for a strong deodorant. I first learned about the dangers of toxins in deodorants late last year from a video by Eco-Vegan Gal's Whitney Lauritsen. Here is an in depth article from Natural Cosmetic News. After the new year I decided to go ahead purchase a deodorant Whitney mentioned in her video called Death By Lavender All Natural Deodorant by North Coast Organics.

Growing up my mother had these spa neck wrap things that were filled with lavender. I couldn't stand the sent of lavender in fact it made me nauseated. That being said I can't actually smell the lavender. What I smell must the rosemary & cypress. (I've never been good at identifying or describing scents). My cousin smelt the deodorant and said it was too "woodsy" for her. I personally love that about this deodorant.

Here is what the deodorant label says
"Death will kill [odor] for you. She relishes snuffing odor out. She bares her true face for it puts odor on notice. Death is a cocky elite assassin that will never miss her target. She is unlike any other deodorant you will meet because Death actually works and uses only natural ingredients.

This all natural deodorant only contains Coconut Oil* Carnauba Wax* Cornstarch* Baking Soda, & Lavender* Lemon* Rosemary* Cypress*
*Certified Organic
This deodorant DOES NOT contain Aluminum Parabens and is BPA free.

This Certified Organic, Certified Vegan & Certified Cruelty Free deodorant comes in 3 scents.

Naked
Death By Lavender - for women
Revolver - for men
