Last year, I wrote a hot vs. not post, and you dolls seemed to love it! I decided to write a follow up focused around makeup and beauty. Enjoy!

HOT

-DIY products
Making your own beauty products is not only fun - it can also save you money! There are lots of great recipes out there - try checking out the library or ask an adult to help you find a good recipe online.

-Healthy skin from the inside
Healthy skin starts with what you put into your body. Make sure you drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin cells, and eat a variety of fruits and veges to boost your vitamin levels. Try some antioxident filled blueberries and some omega-3 filled walnuts!

NOT

-Microbeads
Products with microbeads (tiny plastic beads that are meant to exfoliate) seriously hurt the environment. They suck up toxic chemicals and are then eaten by fish or leech the chemicals back into lakes and oceans. Many products are available with natural alternatives - make use of them!

-Animal testing
With so many companies dropping animal testing, there is no reason to use makeup brands that haven't yet! Animal testing is painful and degrading to animals - which isn't okay in my book. Try to find some alternative products if you want to help beat this cruel practice!

What's on your hot vs. not list?
