I-Herb Haul!

Hi there!

This post is a little bit different from the usual, but I recently received a mini haul from I-Herb & wanted to share all my cruelty-free/vegan beauty product goodies with you!

For those of you that don’t know, I-Herb is an international online store, committed to selling nutritional & healthy products. You can find supplements, herbs, grocery items, bath & beauty goods, baby food & so much more! The best thing about I-Herb is they are really cheap. Not to mention, you can find any beauty product you wish, that is also vegan (which I know can be quite difficult in physical pharmacies and supermarkets).

All you have to do is type the item you are after (lipstick for example) and under categories, you can click ‘Vegan/Cruelty-Free’ which will then display numerous options (see pic below)

Organic shopping made easy!

Here are some of the treasures I acquired:

Vitamins
1. ) Bluebonnet Nutrition – Vitamin B12 & Folic Acid Supplements (Earth Sweet Chewable)

Whilst this first item may seem boring, Vitamin B12 is the most important supplement you need if you become vegan. You can get Vitamin B12 from fortified Soy milk, like the So Good Original but as I only drink Coconut or Almond milk, I love this jar of ‘Raspberry Fairy Floss’ tasting B12 Supplements. The bottle says take one daily, but after my last blood level check, my doctor said I had too much B12 in my system. I had to reduce my dose to every second day. If you have trouble swallowing pills (like me) grab these yummy vitamins. They are $20 and will last you a really long time!

Deodorant
2.) Kiss My Face – Natural Liquid Rock Deodorant (Lavender)

I absolutely love the Kiss My Face range & this roll-on deodorant not only smells great but lasts a really long time. I noticed recently that my regular Sports Rexona Spray contains gelatin. For those who don’t know, gelatin is made from charred animal bones and can be found in a lot of cosmetics and candy. I couldn’t condone wearing it any longer, so I’m glad this deodorant does exactly the same job, without the cruelty!

BB Cream
3.) Andalou Naturals – BB Cream with Natural Tint & SPF 30

This is probably my favourite beauty product of the month. It’s so smooth and light, with such a natural finish. I can just feel the nourishment. This can be used as a natural foundation or even as a moisturiser.

Bronzer
4.) Physician’s Formula – Natural Organic Glow Bronzer

This gorgeous bronzer comes with a brush underneath the cap, but I bought my own (see below) as I wanted something larger. Just like the title suggests, the bronzer provides a natural glow. Bronzers I’ve used in the past tend to make me look orange. This product is so soft and subtle, yet dewy. I love the finishing tint it leaves!

Perfume
5.) Pacifica – Mediterranean Fig Solid Perfume

Sadly, my Tibetan Mountain Temple Perfume from Pacifica ran out but before I ordered another bottle, I thought I’d try the ‘solid’ version that everyone raves about. Pacifica perfume has so many scents, but the Mediterranean Fig caught my interest! The packaging is adorable and it smells heavenly! Made with coconut & soy wax, this perfume is incredibly simple to apply, lasts a really long time and is the perfect travel size for handbags! Check out their colourful range!

Lip Stick
6.) Pacifica Natural Lipstick – Mystic

Is there anything Pacifica can’t do? This brand is full of organic, colourful delights! The lipsticks in particular are ultra creamy. Mystic is a beautiful light crimson colour and so soft on application. It doesn’t smudge – lasting several hours.

Swatch
I provided a swatch so you can see how subtle but lovely the shade is once applied
Brush
7.) Eco Tools – Tapered Blush Brush

Eco Tools has such an affordable range of make up, hair & scrubbing brushes. This beautifully designed Blush Brush is soft, fluffy and absorbs powder really well. I really like the lightness of the bristles!

I hope you enjoyed my mini haul from I-Herb and feel a lot better about shopping for cruelty-free/vegan beauty products. As you can see, there is a wide variety of essentials, that work just as well as luxury brands, without involving animal ingredients or testing.

Feel free to leave comments and suggestions! Which brands do you love? What do you usually shop for on I-Herb?

Peace & Love xoxox

  1. Such an interesting haul, Bec. I used to use Rexona deodorant in my teens but then stopped because I thought it was too harsh for my skin. The bronzer you got there looks so good, and Physicians Formula is certainly a brand that is good to my skin. Do you wear the bronzer alone, or is it better with some moisturiser? I’m looking at getting a new moisturiser very soon, and the beauty balm one looks like an interesting option 🙂

    1. Mabel! I’m so sorry for the later reply. My WordPress App has been acting up! I’m so glad you enjoyed my mini haul 🙂 you would love the BB Cream. It is so soft and good for sensitive skin. I usually apply the bronzer over the moisturiser. Much love and looking forward to your next blog! x
