Fashion: Vegan Beauty for Weddings

Shoot! This whole post was accidentally deleted... here we go again...

Last weekend I had some of my favorite vegan ladies come over to my house so I could practice some hair and make-up on them. This September my childhood BFF is getting married and she asked me to style her and all of us bridesmaids (four, myself included). She wants bright lips, and messy ballerina buns on us, and she wants to show off her beautiful long hair in a romantic, half-up style with loose, natural 70s waves. It was a lot of fun to do some trials on these beautiful ladies, I'm so grateful to have such great friends here, who I have met through VRA (Vegans Rock Austin), and VegAustin.com. Even though I'm a time zone away (I'm in Texas, the bride/wedding is in California) with the joys of the internet I can feel more involved with the planning process... Check out the photos I sent back to the bride- using all vegan beauty products.
