Seriously, I’ve NEVER experienced a skincare line quite like Fiafini. I’ve also never used a skincare line where every product contained marula oil, so that’s probably why.

I’ve hearted MyChelle beauty products since the inception of VBR (2007—can you believe that shit?! :’) My baby’s growing up!). Not every product in MyChelle’s line is vegan, but the ones that are, are truly dee-licious!
Two MyChelle products I’m currently gaga over are the Fruit Fiesta Peel ($28.39) and [...]
Know Your Ingredients is not only an amazeballs vegan beauty line, but it’s advice that you should take to heart if you haven’t already.
