Milani Cosmetics is Cruelty Free, Not All Vegan

When I first started doing research on what drugstore makeup brands were vegan, tons of blogs said that Milani was a 100% vegan makeup line. After buying a few products and being extremeley happy with them, I decided that I wanted to feature their products on Logical Harmony. With each brand that I want to feature, I’m sending the company an e-mail asking them to clarify if they use animal testing at any point in the process as well as if they use any animal ingredients or by-products. I want my readers to be getting verified information that I know is correct.

While I’m happy that their reply e-mail cleared things up, it also made me so sad to have been misinformed by so many websites.

Milani’s manufacturers do not perform any animal testing; however, we are not a vegan line of cosmetics. Some of our products contain carmine, lanolin, etc.
Thank you for contacting us!

I had already informed several people that Milani was a 100% vegan cosmetic line. Now I know that it’s a company that is safe to buy from so long as myself and other vegans read the ingredients first. If you are looking for a great line of affordable cruelty free makeup, definitely check out Milani!

I’m thankful that Milani has such a wonderful customer support team that was able to clear this issue up for me! I’ve also learned the importance of trying to get information directly from the company first.

How To Stay Looking Youthful

Have you ever noticed that some stars, like Eva Longoria, never seem to age? Many people turn to surgical options like a facelift when they get older. When thinking of a facelift, what often first comes to mind are all the bad cosmetic surgery examples out there. These are caused by people opting for a cheap facelift. Whether you are for or against cosmetic surgery, here are some tips on how to keep your skin looking youthful.

Add glow with a luminizer. Adding a little bit to your foundation or applying it to your cheekbones after applying your makeup can make a huge difference in how your skin looks.
Eat more Vitamin C. Studies have shown that people who eat more Vitamin C have fewer wrinkles.
Use a foundation primer. Not only will your makeup go on smoother, but primers help fill in fine lines.
Reduce your sugar intake. It’s been shown that eating lots of sugar makes your skin dull. Get your fix of sweets with some fresh fruit and you’ll also be getting some extra vitamins.
Drink more water. There is nothing that drinking more water won’t help. Hydrate your skin from within and make sure you are drinking enough water.

What are your tips on how to keep your skin looking youthful?

Kim Kardashian Shares Secrets for Flawless Skin

Kim Kardashian has long been envied for her amazing lashes and flawless skin. She recently revealed one of her secrets to getting her gorgeous glow. In addition to her sunless tanning routine (my guess is a great spray tan!), she also knows a great way to touch up streaks and uneven spots. “I love Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs water-resistant spray because the tan looks real.” Kim and her sisters were recently on the cover of Lucky. I wonder if Kim used this product for the shoot.

Not only does Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs help to even out streaks from sunless tanning, this spray covers any cuts and bruises that you might have perfectly. It also gives you an incredibly natural looking bronze glow that washes off with soap and water. This cruelty-free body makeup is a lifesaver and has long been one of my own beauty secrets.
