Mom Realities

I came across a hilarious string of memes yesterday about parenting and mom realities vs. social media creations and it had me in absolute stitches so I just had to share..

When getting your children ready before school everyday is your priority, hair and make-up kinda goes out the window and has little importance. So I wanted to share some really amazing Vegan and environmentally friendly beauty brands that have designed base lines that require little application for medium coverage, durability and travel like ease, perfect for the everyday mom, because lets face it nobody has time for the above...

Ok so

1. Marc Jacobs beauty line is world's apart from others, known for being able to take inspiration from just about anything he released this 'on the go' foundation stick in the fall of 2014, inspired by his release of deodorants, hence the shape of the packaging. They were around $42 if you can find his past collections, I get mine straight from the U.S. It's perfect for those surfing mommies that, like me, spot the surf after the morning school run and think sod it, work can wait, I don't even have time to go home and prepare for this so you end up leaving it on, and funnily enough it survives, every time. I've never needed to re-apply afterwards.

2. Barry M support the Global Be Cruelty Free Campaign. Let's face it we're pretty fed up of the use of photoshop and false lashes that certain top brands have been using in their tv ads so opt for a trusty eco friendly mascara, here's Barry M's Feature length in at just £4.99! Again wave sliders there's waterproof options too!

3. Hourglass cosmetics have the most delicious Vegan range, amongst it all is the perfection that is their marbled travel sized bronzer at just $24! They also refuse to sell their products in countries that currently allow Animal Testing! Just incase you do manage to find the time!!

And that's it, my 3 top environmentally friendly and free of Animal testing products designed for ease, perfect for us mommas that just don't get the time..

Look forward to another post tomorrow, but until then here's some parenting memes that I know you'll all relate to, oh and check out Tova_leigh on insta, she's a queen.
