Why a vegan lipstick ?
We eat less sugars, less meat , we hunt toxic all over the place, we recycle our makeup products as soon as we can .... To stay in sync with his philosophy of life a little healthier we can also be tempted to clean up her beauty kit. In particular on the lips where the thin skin of the latter quickly has a tendency to dry out.
To recap: we want to feed our lips assaulted by the wind, the cold, the water but we also want to be able to play femme fatale. If there is an area of the face that willingly claims its dose of make-up is it: the mouth. A beautiful color and here we are dressed for the day or evening.

One can even go further by choosing a lipstick "vegan", which contains no animal product (no beeswax for example). By the way on social networks, the hashtag #veganlipstick is already well used ....
