Amazing Cruelty-Free Beauty Products That Cost Less Than $10
All of us should really start getting into cruelty-free beauty products. Not only are they great in quality, but animals aren't being harmed during the process. If we're using a beauty product that we know was tested on animals, we lose our attraction to the product. The fact that we know an animal was harmed in the making of that eyeliner or that eye cream, we don't want to use it. It basically makes us feel so guilty to use a product that placed the life of an animal at risk just to create it hard for us to enjoy — I'm not into that at all.

Must Have Products to Mask Pet Odor
We love our pets no matter what they do — they’re just innocent little fur (or scale) balls that literally mean no harm. Even if they broke that expensive vase you recently bought. Or if your cat decided to randomly attack, ripping holes in your curtains… for the fourth time. But they are animals since they go by instinct, so dogs are being dogs and cats are being cats. Can’t help it, right?
