I’m SO excited about this giveaway because I’ve really enjoyed this book- The Compassionate Chick’s Guide to DIY Beauty:125 Recipes for Vegan, Gluten-free, Cruelty-Free Makeup, Skin & Hair Products by Sunny Subramanian has really gotten me into DIY beauty stuff! If you’re into makeup and fashion and vegan reviews you’ve probably heard of Sunny from VeganBeautyReview.com where she blogs. She’s also quite prolific on ‘gram, which is where I first discovered her.
Obviously all the recipes in here are vegan, but they’re also full of easy-to-find ingredients, which is important. Many come from your local grocery, and the others can be found at health stores or online. Here’s a glamour shot of me in the Green Clay Detox Facial Mask (pg 106) and the Cedarwood Essential Oil Hair-Growth Treatment (pg 188):
And you know what’s even MORE exciting than a Saturday night spent with a clay mask on your face? Sharing a recipe AND a copy of the book with you guys! You can scroll down to grab the recipe for the Black Forest Chocolate Cake Mask and then enter to win your own copy of the book!

By far the craziest skin treatment I tried has been the vampire facial.
That mask sounds delicious!
The craziest treatment I have ever tried was a charcoal face mask. It actually worked well but made a huge mess!
In my pregan days, I tried mayo as a hair treatment. It’s a bitch to wash out!
OMG I did that in highschool, and had to sit in class smelling like it all day! :/
I would have to say the used coffee grounds scrub. It’s a great way to recycle your used coffee grounds. Just mix it with pink Himalayan sea salt and some essential oils and you are good to go!
Probably trying to lighten my hair in high school with peroxide. Not a good idea!
The craziest treatment I ever tried was a brown sugar scrub. Very sticky and messy…but it made my skin glow.
