CURRENT WISHLIST
As I stated in my last blog post, I've been trying to find brands that are more aware of the environment and working conditions along the supply chain, and while in general this search has felt a bit futile, I've found a few gems along the way that I wanted to share. So below are just some new things I've discovered recently that I've currently lusting after. I think these things seem pretty cool, whether you're worried about the ethical stuff or not!
MeUndies underwear and lounge pants These just look so comfortable! Since I started working from home I've realised I need to step up my lounge wear game. I just need more clothes that are comfy that I can wear around the house. I'm also loving this company. They're clothes are made from Lenzing MicroModal, a sustainably sourced fabric that is supposed to be unbelievably soft! They support charities such as the Amber Rose Foundation, the LA LGBT Center, and Make-A-Wis and they state on their website that they're committed to treating all workers in their supply chain fairly. They say that the factories they use to make their clothing offer their employees "more than just a pay check", with opportunities such as free English classes and free transportation, as well as programs focusing on women in business and personal finance. My only complaint is that I wish they offered more sizes. I think I would be ordering the biggest size so that kind of sucks since they are a lot of people who are bigger than me out there. None the less, I definitely hope to order their Bikini undies and Lounge pant soon!
Organic Bamboo Facial RoundsI have always felt wasteful using cotton pads so when I heard about these I was really intrigued. They're literally just re-use cotton pads that you can hand wash or throw in the washing machine (the Etsy shop also sells a mesh bag to put them in). The listing states that bamboo is a naturally antimicrobial and hypo-allergenic, which is great for sensitive skin. So win win all round. They also have a cotton version, but they say that bamboo requires less energy, water and space to grow than cotton (I should probably research this more before I purchase but it sounds good!). I'm always looking for ways to reduce my waste, but I also think that these will save me money in the long run, as I won't have to continuously re-buy cotton pads.
The Bare Micro by NAE I've been looking for a pair of casual shoes that come somewhere between my Chelsea boots and my runners, and I think these might be it. They're chic but laid back. The website states that they're made from ecological microfibre, and a hypoallergenic, breathable microfibre inner lining. They were also made under fair working conditions in Portugal. So that's all pretty cool. I don't know what it is, but they just look comfortable, no? I bought a similar pair off ASOS a while back but I returned them because they were really uncomfortable and made my feet look weird. Hopefully I've have more luck with these.
Charlotte Tilbury Kim K.W. Lipstick I don't know how I never knew that Charlotte Tilbury was cruelty free! I've been only using cruelty-free products for 2 years now and for some reason, I just assumed they tested on animals. But apparently I was wrong. A bunch of their products are vegan too (I found a list on Logical Harmony). This Kim K.W. lipstick looks to be a great pinky nude so I'm excited to try it. I also found out the Pillow Talk lipliner is vegan so that's something I also want to try since I've wanted to use it before but again, I didn't think it was cruelty-free.
I hope you enjoyed!
