Lauren is passionate to reduce the usage of single use plastics and uses only bamboo disposable mascara wands and bamboo cotton buds. She is working towards a fully cruelty free kit and is replacing any brands that are associated with animal testing without creating unnecessary wastage of current products. If you would like a fully vegan and cruelty free makeup this is possible.
