A good friend at Laika Magazine is thrilled, as am I, to hear that New Zealand is the latest nation to vote earlier this week to ban animal cosmetics testing! As you know I've recently joined the #becrueltyfree campaign with Humane Society International and want to spread awareness about animal testing of cosmetics so that one day I can announce this ban in Canada and other parts of the world where a ban has yet to be discussed.
To celebrate, Laika Magazine wanted me to share a little bit about my cruelty-free beauty routine and what products are in my makeup bag. Read the full interview here.
