going cruelty-free and veggie: blusher sort out

We already shared with you our decision to transition to Cruelty-Free and Vegetarian Cosmetics which you can read about in this post if you haven't done so already. 

Let's crack on with the product sort out, which happens to be blushers today. Again same three categories.

  1. It makes me sad how many mainstream brands are not cruelty free.

    Paula's Choice lists Cargo as a cruelty-free brand.

  2. Most of the bigger brands are guilty of animal testing aka L'Oreal, Estee Lauder etc. Also remember that although The Body Shop doesn't test on animals, they are owned by L'Oreal and your purchase will somehow endorse animal testing, unfortunately loads of brands are guilty of this which is such a shame. It's a sell out to claim to be against animal testing yet hand over ownership to companies who does. Doesn't make sense :/

    1. Completely agree! Hence we have decided not to buy from companies that do not test on animals themself but are owned by parent companies who do.
