I enjoy and buy from indie brands and smaller brands, as well as major brands quite often. I support small and shop small, I give honest reviews and try a lot of products.
I support formula and quality makeup. I support cruelty-free and vegan recipes. What I don’t support is the drama.
It’s hard to believe there isn’t a brand out there that's not problematic in some way to someone, including indie brands, simply because they’re run by imperfect people. After constant disappointments, I decided not to get involved and to stan products, not people and leave the rest up to you.
People will let you down, mascara won't.
