Jeffree Star Cosmetics is verified cruelty-free by PETA and Leaping Bunny, so you can be 100% sure … Read more
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not too fond of the feel of most sunblocks. Since they’re such an essential part of our daily skincare to protect yourself from the harmful sun rays, it’s usually a very uncomfortable exercise in necessity for me.
