10 Cruelty Free Lipsticks for Fall Under $10 w/ Lip Swatches

I know this may be a bit late, but I’ve been planning to post my Top 10 Cruelty Free Lipsticks Under $10 for Fall for quite a while now. It’s just taken me forever to make up my mind and narrow it down! J Technically it is still Fall and I would say that pretty much any of these colors are fantastic for Winter as well, so I think it’s still appropriate. And, perhaps best of all, they’re all under $10 (ok there’s one cheat, but it’s often under $10)! Of course they’re cruelty free as well. How can you go wrong? J This post only focuses on the colors and swatches, but I may do a second post discussing the formulas a bit. Let me know if you’re interested in that kind of post. Also, I have included info about parent companies at the end since I know that makes a difference to some as to a cruelty free status. I’m excited to get on with things, so let’s look at the shades and the swatches!!! J

1 – Burt’s Bees Lip Crayon in Sedona Sands     $8.99    matte nude with a touch of pink


2 – Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer in Fig     $5.00    glossy nude-y brown tinted lip balm

So there you have it for my Top 10 Cruelty Free Lipstick Under $10. I hope you enjoyed and please leave a comment with any of your own favorites as well. I feel like I don’t give inexpensive products enough attention on the blog, so I will try to do more posts like this in the future if you’ve enjoyed it. I know it can be difficult to find inexpensive cruelty free makeup, and I must admit that I tend to gravitate to the pricey alternatives that can be easier to find and more consistent in quality. There are many gems out there, and I find lipsticks are some of the most fun! J I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did putting it together and I hope to see you around next time!!! J

Cruelty Free / Parent Company Information: Burt’s Bees’ parent company is Clorox, but Burt’s Bees remains cruelty free. NYX Cosmetics has been purchased by L’Oreal, but at least for now remains cruelty free. Milani, which is the parent company of Jordana, has been the subject of some debate recently. On Milani’s website they state that, “Milani Cosmetics is a cruelty-free brand. We do not test our products on animals, nor do we allow others to test on our behalf. Additionally, we require our suppliers to certify that the raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are not tested on animals. Our Brand is certified by both PETA and The Leaping Bunny Program (CCIC) as cruelty-free.” Some cruelty free bloggers like Tashina from Logical Harmony take issue with Milani’s & Jordana’s claims. For more on that, check out Tashina’s post here.  The Body Shop is owned by L’Oreal, but has remained cruelty free. Flower Beauty is cruelty free. Wet n Wild is cruelty free.
