Illamasqua gets PETA Certified & My #BeautyNotBrutality Look

With so much negative news to come from cosmetic industry in regards to animal testing, it's always refreshing to hear something that's good and one British beauty brand in particular has recently had every reason to celebrate an achievement of their own complete with flutes of vegan champagne.
