7 Vegan Lipsticks For Cruelty Free Beauty And An Awesomely Colored Pout

My mom keeps reminding me that "back in the day" it was really hard to be vegan. In her twenties, her vegan friends would have to soak their own chickpeas and there wouldn't be a chance in hell of them finding a vegan lipstick, let alone any other vegan beauty products.

My, how things have changed! There are so many vegan products available to us now from beauty products to clothing to fast food and the world is running out of excuses not to go vegan-friendly. True, non-vegan food tastes good, but it is argued that one can find all of the nutrients needed to flourish on a plant-based diet, and that it's better for the environment.

So here's a selection of vegan lipsticks to show that vegan gals can be as fashionable and stylish as anyone wearing commercial, non-vegan products. Why not be kind to animals while looking fabulous? It's a win win situation!
