HEY KIDS. So, I’m a makeup artist, but I’m also a feminist and a vegetarian and an animal lover, so sometimes it’s hard to find beauty products that don’t make me cry inside. Well GUESS THE FUCK WHAT. There’s an incredible cosmetic company called Colourpop that is just like, the most beautiful shit in the world.
They sell the most AMAZING creamy mousse (WATERPROOF!!) eyeshadows that will set as a super beautiful glittery sparkly magical shadow, but will also blend out like a regular powder shadow. (They have matte shades too but their glittery and metallic shades are THE SHIT) They also have INCREDIBLE lipsticks, lipliners, highlighters, bronzers, blushes, and liquid lipsticks. They’re all cruelty-free, made in the USA, and most of them are vegan. (There’s a list of the non-vegan products in their FAQ.) And wait for this, because it’s almost too good to be true:
NOTHING THEY SELL COSTS MORE THAN 10 DOLLARS.
TEN. DOLLARS.
Their lipsticks, lipliners, and eyeshadows are all only 5 DOLLARS EACH. It’s honestly the most radical shit. And then to top all of this unbelievable beauty off, they show all their swatches and ads with REAL WOMEN OF COLOR, so you can see what their products will look like on people who aren’t just pale white women.
I honestly can’t recommend this brand enough. They’re so incredible and when I got my package, I even got a little handwritten note. Everything is reeeeally high quality. Their products are all as good as the $60 shit you find at sephora, only it’s cheap, cruelty-free, and made in the USA. What more could you want, honestly?
“The importance of this Pride event cannot be understated. The fact that these brave activists could pull this off in this milieu of persecution is a great victory for the community. Visibility like this notes the ongoing legacy of late activist David Kato, it defies the export of American Evangelical hate, and it helps ensure defeat of the Bahati Bill. It shows leadership for all of Africa, and above all it shows that the LGBT people of Uganda simply refuse to give up their right to exist and to live their natural born sexual orientation.”
