We are getting to that time of year again to bundle up and enjoy some tasty hot drinks from our favourite cafes. Ever popular is the pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks, and now the syrup has become vegan friendly, it seems more popular than ever before. While I endorse companies changing their recipes and ingredients to be vegan, I also think it is important to keep a clear head on and try our very best not to be enticed by the woolly, twinkling, autumnal marketing campaigns and advertisements.

The company was launched with the aim of making ‘truly natural, vegan’ balms ‘made from premium raw and organic ingredients.’ Today I’m going to be reviewing each flavour balm I received and sharing my thoughts.

ELF Haul with Mini Reviews | Cruelty Free & Vegan Beauty
Recently the brand E.L.F. had a huge sale on their website, and with such affordable prices I decided to order a *few* items. E.L.F. is Peta certified cruelty free and vegan! I'm a big fan of their flawless finish foundation and their liquid eyeshadows so I decided to try a few other products,. I think they are really affordable, which makes them a fun, playful brand.
