Oh happy day, y'all. This post was supposed to go live like last year! Okay so I mean like last week, but oh well. We had a WONDERFUL trip to Montana with our besties and I didn't touch my computer ONCE. It was glorious. Anyway, as you know, I've been exploring the cruelty-free and natural avenue and lipsticks are a huge part of that!
I honestly have not been into lipsticks for a while...it was hard for me to wear them, because I was in Drill Team in Texas and we wore bright red lipstick every Thursday and Friday. Sooo yeah. Anyway, I have been testing some stuff out and am excited to share with y'all! See below for the 3 sections, info, and my thoughts!
P.S. If you like this post, you'll probably like my posts on 4 Cruelty Free + Nontoxic Face Masks and Winter and Dry Skin Pick-Me-Ups.

CHAPSTICKS AND TINTS
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic
Color: Colorless, available in other lip tints
Scent: Peppermint
Price: $2.99
Thoughts: This is a no-brainer for me. It's budget friendly and works. I love the fresh scent and the cooling peppermint! They have this in lip tints, so if you want to explore a little color or shimmer, it's there.
Ā
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic
Color: Colorless
Scent: Vanilla Mint, also available in Apple Rosemary, Honey Ginger, Strawberry Basil, and other seasonal scents
Price: $16.50 (currently on sale for $9.50!)
Thoughts: The only downside of this for me is that it is in a pot. I wish it was in stick form, otherwise I love it! It feels SO good on my lips. It's a little on the more expensive side, but it works.
Ā
Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Luminous Lip Crayon
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic, Vegan
Color: Venice, available in several other tints
Scent: Neutral, if anything a little hint of shea butter
Price: $22
Thoughts: I love the entire Juice Beauty brand! This is similar to the Clinique Chubby Stick, so if you like that, you'll love this! It has a nice, light coloring, so perfect for summer and the beach.
Ā
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF15
Classifications: Nontoxic
Color: RosƩ, available in several other tints
Scent: Neutral, slightly citrusy
Price: $25
Thoughts: So, this is the only thing I'm sharing that technically isn't cruelty-free. They say they don't do animal testing, but they sell in mainland China, which means that they may not, but to sell in mainland China, someone has to. I've had this for like 5 years, so I like the product a lot! It has SPF and comes in tints and just a clear version.

GLIDE-ON AND GLOSSES
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic
Color: Bellisima, available in several other tints and shades
Scent: Neutral
Price: $22
Thoughts: I started using this a couple of years ago, after my friend Lauren let me borrow hers. I love the colors and wearability. It's a little drying, but not too bad.
Ā
Fenty by Rihanna Glossbomb Universal Lip Luminizer
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic (from what I've researched, this product is nontoxic, but some items in the line include toxins, ie the nail polish)
Color: Fenty Glow
Scent: Light vanilla
Price: $18
Thoughts: This is one of my current obsessions. I won it at a White Elephant Gift Exchange at work and am so glad I did. It's seriously THE BEST and looks good on anyone. I LOVE it.
Ā
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic, Vegan
Color: Praline (sold out pretty much everywhere, but comes in other shades and tints)
Scent: Neutralish
Price: $2
Thoughts: I love E.L.F. because they are budget friendly and have a lot of color options. This is a great gloss, with vibrant color.

LIPSTICKS AND LINERS
Lawless Beauty Soft Matte Liquid Lipstick
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic, Vegan (from what I can tell this is vegan! They use a vegan wax; however, there is no specific call out saying that it is vegan)
Color: Romeo, available in several other shades (my other favorite is Brad!)
Scent: Floralish (seriously smells delightful)
Price: $25
Thoughts: This is my FAVORITE lipstick right now. I love EVERYTHING about it. The colors, the mission, the product. It's awesome. It's long lasting and is a creamy matte, so it is more hydrating than the normal matte lippie. They are about to release new colors and I'm stoked to see them! I do wear lip liner with the darker colors. I also line my lips with concealer to prevent feathering with such a deep red.
Ā
Classifications: Cruelty-Free, Nontoxic, Vegan (note that Tarte is vegan friendly, not 100% vegan)
Color: Turnt Up, available in several other tints and shades (I also have Boho!)
Scent: Neutral
Price: $18 (currently on sale for $12!)
Thoughts: I bought this to wear under my Lawless lipstick and it works like a charm! Tarte has a ton of awesome products and this is just one of the many they have.
Ā
Classifications: Cruelty-Free (note that their parent company L'Oreal is not cruelty-free), Nontoxic
Color: Electra, available in several other tints and shades
Scent: Neutral
Price: $4
Thoughts: I've had this lipstick for FOREVER and I love it. It's creamy and beautiful, not to mention affordable. When I wear it I always get compliments on it and people think it's some designer brand. A++ for me!
