I first stumbled upon Bella Vérité while looking for non-toxic mascara options that I didn’t already know and love. I’m always excited to discover places where I can explore new beauty gems, interact with brands that I can’t get just walking into any beauty store, and of course source eco-friendly, ethical, and cruelty-free beauty. The site checked all those boxes. So when I finally got my hands on some items, I was excited to try them and see how they stacked up against my existing arsenal of beauty go-tos.

Not surprisingly, they are now part of that arsenal, with 7 items solidifying permanent spots in my beauty and health routines. While some are splurges, most are average price. All are worth the coins.
