For the majority of these cases, the brands are sold in China, where animal testing is mandatory by law for foreign cosmetics. It's important to read the fine print when reading brand policies, as many of them will claim to be cruelty-free but then include a clause about "except when required by law". If they are sold in stores in China, this clause then means that they are not a cruelty-free brand.
I've also included alternative cruelty-free suggestions for each brand. Feel free to leave your favorite cruelty-free dupe suggestions in the comments below!
1. NARS
NARS was once a cruelty-free staple brand for so many. Unfortunately, earlier this year, they updated their animal testing policy to reflect their decision to join the Chinese market. From now on, NARS is going to test on animals where required by law, meaning they are no longer cruelty-free.
One good thing that has come out of this horrible decision is that there has been so much media attention brought to their decision, which is helping to increase awareness about animal testing!
For cruelty-free alternatives to NARS, check out , , , and .
2. L’Oreal
L'Oreal has a notoriously misleading animal testing FAQ. They claim “L’Oréal no longer tests any of its products or any of its ingredients on animals, anywhere in the world. Nor does L’Oréal delegate this task to others.” However, they do sell their products in China where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics. They address this loophole in their policy as well: “An exception could be made if authorities required it for human safety or regulatory purposes.” In order words, they do fund animal testing of their finished products in China, where the practice is required by law.
L'Oreal owns tons of other brands, some of which are sold in China and share the same policy to test on animals where required by law, and some of which remain cruelty-free despite the policy of their parent company (like Urban Decay and NYX).
For cruelty-free alternatives to L'Oreal from the drugstore, give a try! Their products are on point and they are more affordable than L'Oreal.
3. Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder claims that they are "committed to the elimination of animal testing", yet they do test on animals where required by law. Since they sell their products in the Chinese market, where animal testing is required, and they aren't a cruelty-free company.
Like L'Oreal, Estée Lauder also owns several other brands which are subject to this same policy.
Their Double Wear Liquid Foundation is incredibly popular, but fortunately there are some great cruelty-free alternatives! The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation and Smashbox Studio Skin Hydrating Foundation are both similar options.
4. MAC
MAC Cosmetics is probably one of the most popular and well-known makeup brands of all time, and they used to be a cruelty-free brand, which can lead to some confusion as to their current policy. They are owned by Estée Lauder, whose animal testing policy is not to test on animals unless required by law (as mentioned above). Because MAC is sold in China, where animal testing is required, MAC isn’t a cruelty-free company.
If you're looking to replace your MAC eyeshadows, I can't recommend Makeup Geek enough. Their eyeshadows are AMAZING! As for MAC's lipsticks, NYX has some great shade dupes, and as a bonus, they are a whole lot more affordable.
5. Benefit
Benefit is one of those brands that everyone seems to think is cruelty-free, but unfortunately, they are NOT a cruelty-free company. Their policy is not to test on animals unless required by law. Their products are also sold in mainland China, where animal testing is required. Benefit also currently sells its products in Sephora stores across China and shows no intention of pulling out of China.
If you are drawn to Benefit because of their adorable retro packaging, you will LOVE the cruelty-free brand theBalm Cosmetics!
6. Lancôme
Lancôme is owned by L'Oreal and inherits the same policy to test on animals where required by law. Since Lancôme is sold in stores in mainland China, it cannot be considered a cruelty-free brand.
Some of Lancôme's most popular products are their mascaras, but I think the cruelty-free mascaras from Tarte and Pacifica are easily just as good if not better!
7. Make Up For Ever
Make Up For Ever is a popular French brand owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton / Moët Hennessy) which is sold at Sephora and used by many theatre and makeup artists alike. Sadly, they test on animals. They sell their products in China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics. Because of this, Make Up For Ever isn’t considered to be a cruelty-free brand.
8. Maybelline
Another heavy hitter drugstore brand, Maybelline also shares the same policy as their parent company L'Oreal. They sell their products in China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics. Because of this, Maybelline isn’t a cruelty-free brand.
For an affordable cruelty-free alternative to Maybelline and other drugstore brands, ELF has tons of great options!
9. Rimmel London
Rimmel London claims to be "against animal testing", but in reality, they are not cruelty-free as they sell their products in China. When asked about why they are selling their products in China while they claim to be against animal testing, they state that "Chinese consumers have made it clear they want Rimmel London. It would not be right to deprive them of the products they want to use and enjoy. Our industry continues to work together in encouraging the Chinese authorities to accept more modernized non-animal safety testing methods." Rimmel's parent company Coty shares the same policy.
For a dupe for the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retroglam Mascara, I highly recommend the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara! Not only is it vegan, but it also won our best cruelty-free mascara reader poll!
10. Revlon
Like L'Oreal, Revlon is a privately held company which tests on animals where required by law. Since they are sold in China, they are subject to animal testing and thus not cruelty-free.
If you love Revlon's famous lipstick formula, give Colourpop's Lippie Stix a try. I found the formulation to be very similar, and they are even more affordable than the Revlon ones!
11. CoverGirl
Covergirl went cruelty-free as of November 2018! Read the full article here.
Covergirl may use adorable kittens in their advertising campaigns to give off a cute and cuddly image, but they still test on animals! They sell their products in China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics. Because of this, Covergirl isn’t considered to be a cruelty-free brand. Its parent company Coty shares the same policy.
12. Clinique
Clinique is NOT a cruelty-free brand. Clinique is owned by Estée Lauder and its official animal testing policy is not to test on animals except when required by law. Clinique is sold in mainland China, where animal testing is required by law.
For a dupe of Clinique's ever-popular Chubby Sticks, try Tarte’s LipSurgence Skintuitive Lip Tint. They are equally hydrating and beautiful!
13. Almay
Almay is owned by Revlon and shares the policy of their parent company to test on animals where required by law. They are also sold in China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics. As such, they are not a cruelty-free brand.
For a cruelty-free alternative to their "dermatologist-tested" eye makeup, give SheaMoisture's products a try! As a bonus, they also contain more natural ingredients.
14. Max Factor
Max Factor is another drugstore brand which is primarily sold in Europe. They are also sold in China, where animal testing is required, and they are therefore not a cruelty-free brand. Their parent company Coty shares the same policy to test on animals where required by law.
For a cruelty-free (and equally affordable) alternative to Max Factor, check out the brand Barry M!
15. Bobbi Brown
Bobbi Brown states that they test on animals where required by law. Since they sell their products in China, this means they are subject to animal testing and thus they are not a cruelty-free brand. They are owned by Estée Lauder, which as mentioned above, shares the same policy to test when required by law.
For cruelty-free alternatives for Bobbi Brown's cult classic Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, try the Tarte Clay Pot Waterproof Shadow Liner and the Colourpop Crème Gel Colour.
16. Chanel
Like many of these brands, Chanel's animal testing policy is nowhere to be found on their website. But their products are indeed sold in mainland China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics. Because of this, Chanel tests on animals and cannot be considered cruelty-free.
If you're looking for high-end designer beauty but don't want to support animal testing, Marc Jacobs Beauty is a great luxury cruelty-free option!
17. Bourjois
Bourjois is a popular French cosmetics brand. They were previously owned by Chanel but were acquired by Coty in 2015. They share the same policy as their parent company to test on animals where required by law. They sell their products in mainland China and as such, they are not cruelty-free.
For a similarly priced (but cruelty-free) European drugstore brand, try GOSH Copenhagen! I especially love their Velvet Touch Lipsticks.
18. Giorgio Armani
While their website says "Giorgio Armani does not use animals to test its products", this is very misleading. They are owned by L'Oreal, and they share L'Oreal's policy to test on animals when required by law. Since Giorgio Armani's products are sold in mainland China, this, of course, means they are not cruelty-free, as they are therefore subject to animal testing.
For a cruelty-free dupe for the "holy grail" Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, try the Catrice Nude Illusion Foundation!
19. Tom Ford
Tom Ford is owned by Estée Lauder, and it shares their animal testing policy to test when required by law. They are not considered cruelty-free, since they sell in China, where animal testing is mandatory.
The Milani lipsticks are great cruelty-free affordable alternatives for the Tom Ford ones. They are just as creamy and opaque, and at a fraction of the cost!
20. Yves Saint Laurent
As with Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent is also owned by L'Oreal, and adheres to L'Oreal's animal testing policy. As YSL products are sold in mainland China, they unfortunately are not cruelty-free.
The is an excellent cruelty-free dupe for the YSL Touch Éclat and it's about $36 cheaper!
21. Sephora Collection
While there are many cruelty-free brands sold in Sephora stores, sadly Sephora's own brand is NOT cruelty-free. Sephora sells its products in China where animal testing is required by law for foreign cosmetics.
While it is hard to suggest an alternative brand since Sephora's brand covers such a wide range of products, there are comparable options from e.l.f., NYX and Milani.
22. Shiseido
Shiseido is a luxury Japanese beauty brand over a century old. It is also the parent company to brands such as NARS and Bare Escentuals (aka bareMinerals). Shiseido's policy states that it does not test its cosmetic products or ingredients on animals except when absolutely mandated by law, and upon further searching through their website (which is not made easy), I found another clause that states "in China, in order to guarantee the safety of imported cosmetics, safety studies including animal testing may be required".
For a cruelty-free but equally upscale option, try the brand Charlotte Tilbury. The formulas of their cream eyeshadows and lipsticks are also very similar to those of Shiseido.
23. Burberry
There is misinformation about whether Burberry tests on animals, and unfortunately the truth is that they do test where required by law. Since Burberry is sold in mainland China, they cannot be considered cruelty-free.
For a cruelty-free alternative to their unique eyeshadows, I would recommend the cruelty-free brand , which sells equally deluxe eyeshadows.
24. Dior
Dior is owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton / Moët Hennessy). Like many other luxury brands, Dior tests on animals. They sell their products in China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics. Because of this, Dior isn’t considered to be a cruelty-free brand.
A good alternative to the Diorshow Mascara is the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara. Its thick mascara wand and formula are very similar to Dior's.
25. La Mer
La Mer is an incredibly expensive luxury makeup and skincare brand owned by Estée Lauder. Like their parent company, they test on animals when required by law. Since their products are sold in mainland China, this means they are not cruelty-free.
Since La Mer's makeup is formulated with unique ingredients, it is a bit challenging to find exact dupes. However, I would definitely recommend the foundations and other products from 100% Pure, as they have luxurious formulations that are a bit more affordable.
26. Guerlain
Guerlain is owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton / Moët Hennessy). They claim that they "are strongly opposed to animal testing and have developed recognized expertise in alternatives to animal testing". However, they sell in mainland China, which unfortunately refutes this statement. Therefore, they cannot be considered cruelty-free.
If you like Guerlain's Meteorites, you will definitely love Hourglass’s Ambient Lighting Powders!
27. Avon
Avon claims to be the first major cosmetic company to end animal testing nearly 25 years ago, but in reality they're authorizing and paying local officials in China to test on animals for them so they can sell their products there. While they claim to have "a deep respect for animal welfare", it seems to be part of careful wording to distract from the fact that they are not cruelty-free.
Jordana's eyeliners are said to be good dupes for Avon's. They are easy to find in most drugstores and they are cruelty-free!
28. Mary Kay
Similarly to Avon, Mary Kay's representatives are sometimes responsible for misinformation regarding Mary Kay's animal testing policy. While they are very vocal about "not testing on animals", they actually do test on animals where required by law. In the late 1989, they announced a moratorium on animal testing of its products. Sadly, in 2012 they started testing on animals again when they made the decision to join the Chinese market. This means they are now no longer cruelty-free.
For a cruelty-free alternative to their SPF Foundation, try Balm Shelter from theBalm.
29. Dolce & Gabbana
Dolce & Gabbana is owned by Coty. They share their parent company's policy to test where required by law. As they sell their products in the Chinese market, they cannot be considered a cruelty-free brand.
Two similar options to D&G's popular Luminous Cheek Colour Blush are Marc Jacob's Air Blush and Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush.
30. Shu Uemura
Owned by L'Oreal, Shu Uemura shares their parent company's policy to test on animals where required by law. Since they sell their products in mainland China where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics, they are not a cruelty-free brand.
For cruelty-free (and easier to find) alternatives to Shu Uemura's iconic eyelash curlers, try the ones from Tarte and Tweezerman!

You should also talk about safer beauty like Beautycounter. A lot of the names you suggest that are cruelty free still you harsh chemicals in their products. I’m glad you mentioned the ones who sell in China. Animal testing is not okay!
So Rimmel thinks it’d be wrong to deprive people of their products? (Are they even good?) Well I think it’s wrong to test on animals sooo…
Why exactly do companies sell in China?
They do this because they want the profit from their sales in China.
Its called Greed, all brans should be and can be cruelty free,its disgusting how they dont care about what the animals go through for there product to be sold,STOP sending it to china,these big brand names<Chanel,Dior,the list goes on and on as we can see.Show some care and compassion instead.
The best way to and all animal testing is education. At least if the products are made in the United States and sold overseas then we can guarantee that there is no animal testing except for those products manufactured overseas. There are companies that manufacture their products here in the United States and do not test on animals. They have manufacturing plants overseas in those markets such as China where animal testing is required.
It’s better than importing the garbage that they produce in China that it is full of garbage
Younique was purchased by Coty and I believe they expanded to China as well, but still their reps claim cruelty free. Can you please look into and add to your list?
They expanded to Hong Kong not to China. In Hong Kong it is not a law to test on animals. They did this purposefully because of that law. They are a subsidiary of Coty yes, but the original owners still have all creative control over their products and how they are made. They made sure of that when they went to the table with Coty. There are many public news articles on it.
Thank you so much for sharing the information. I had no idea that Avon still tests on animals. And I was about to buy a Burberry fragrance. I will write down all these brands and keep the list in my bag and on my desk.
I have a lot of La Mer customers that purchase La Mer and take it to China to sell there. Some have businesses of their own in China which sell cosmetics.
Several years ago I was a die-hard MAChead, but I dumped them cold when they entered the Chinese market, and I haven’t looked back.
For example, today I’m wearing The Balm foundation/tinted moisturizer, NYX concealer, NYX blush, Thrive Causemetics eyeliner, Blinc mascara, Soap & Glory powder, NYX eyeshadow, Kiko eyeshadow, Barry M lipstick, and Buxom lip gloss.
It’s taken some research and creativity to stay cruelty-free when so many of my formerly favorite brands entered the Chinese market, but, as is obvious, I am not “deprived,” at all.
Here’s a not-great photo of the finished look:
https://tinyurl.com/y9ocehp2
Isn’t Buxom part of Bare Minerals? I was heartbroken when I read that Shiseido now owns them, and are not cruelty-free.
What about Rhe Body Shop? You didn’t include it they sell their products in China too
I have an ethical question. My favorite foundation is Make Up Forever ultra hd. Since becoming vegan last summer, I have been researching other options. However, I did not know that the only reason MUFE isn’t considered vegan is because it sells to china, and they have this rule of testing all their products on animals.
I don’t think that is a valid reason for me, as a vegan, not to be able to buy that foundation. When I go to the supermarket, and buy all my veggies, and beans, and tofu, I buy them at a place where they also sell dead animals. They kill them, and they sell them, at the exact same place. However, I do not have a problem going there and buying my vegan food, because I know that with my money I am taking a vote. The supermarket chain isn’t in the business of exploiting animals, it is in the business of making money. So the more people buy vegan options, the more vegan options there would be, and less corpses on display. Supply and demand.
The same goes for makeup. If this foundation that I have on my hands doesn’t have any animal products in it (aka vegan), and wasn’t in fact tested on animals (because my country doesn’t have that aberration of a policy), is it not cruelty free and vegan? I think it is.
Can I blame MUFE for selling in China? I would prefer it if they didn’t, but I can’t blame them, because I understand that there is a big market for their makeup there.
I can, however, blame China, and consider their policies as disgusting. I can chose to never visit. People that live there should be the ones to take care of this big moral problem that they’ve created. They can boycott buying cosmetics. Or chose to order them online from other countries. That would actually make a difference.
In my opinion, the Ultra HD by MUFE that I can buy at my local SEphora here in Portugal, is cruelty free and vegan, and the same goes for every other product on this list that you consider isn’t cruelty free just because they sell to China. Maybe there are in this world other bottles of the same product that were tested on animals, but this particular one on my hands wasn’t, and that’s good enough for me. I am not Chinese, so this is not my fight.
Companies don’t pour out individual bottles of foundation, use it to test on animals, then pour it back into the bottle and sell it to you. The formulations are tested.
When you buy a product from a company which tests on animals, you’re telling that company that their practices are okay with you. Conversely, when you refuse to buy from a testing company, you’re telling them that it’s not okay. The hope is that if enough of us do this, the company will see that testing hurts their bottom line and stop doing it. This is also supply and demand — the supply of cruelty-free makeup has to meet the demand of CF shoppers. It doesn’t matter where in the world you buy your makeup, if the company which makes it allows it to be tested on animals in order for them to make more money, you are [partly] paying for that animal testing yourself.
The difference in a brand that is vegan and bought in a store that sells dead animals is that the dead animals there are humanely killed, and don’t suffer.
Animals that are tested for cosmetics suffer terrible pain and misery because they are held in a lab in restraints that keep them suffering for months or more.
Please join the fight to make all animals free of torture and unnecessary death.
It haunts me, and I would so much appreciate your support.
Jan, I’m afraid you are very misinformed. There is absolutely no difference between the animals used for testing and the animals whose flesh is consumed. Farm animals suffer greatly,pain is pain and fear is fear no matter the species. Industries such as the dairy industry confine and abuse cows in terrible conditions for years before they are killed, having calf after calf taken from them until they are spent and sent to slaughter. And nothing about that is humane. Nothing humane happens in a slaughterhouse, humane slaughter is an oxymoron. Animal agriculture is an inherently cruel industry, over 90% of animals killed for “food” come from CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations), better known as factory farms. Even the few percent that are “free range” are still killed at the same slaughterhouse as the factory farmed animals. You are obviously a kind and compassionate person and I hope that you can spread that kindness towards all animals.
Peace and Love
What you are saying is not a logical line of thought. The MUF brand does testing on animals to distribute in the Chinese market. That is required by law over there. This is not cruelty free nor in line with being ethically vegan. If you would like to be an ethical vegan yourself, then you would not purchase (support) a company that executed these business practices. Period. Yes China is at fault to implement this law, but so is MUF in choosing to comply when they don’t have to. They are doing it to make more money.
Ok this answered my question on the perfume page. No coty is not cruelty free 🙁
All animal testing must be cruelty-free!!!!! I’ll Start a fight to prove it too!!!!!
F China.
The Chinese are barbaric. Disgusting that these companies go along with their demands.
I’m confused with Benefit and Bourjois still, as I’ve talked to people from both companies who are adamant that the brands don’t test on animals anywhere? Obviously Bourjoir’s parent company does though.
Hey! I love your dedication and I trust you more than any other because of your research. So I would like you to check up and add these brands: fenty beauty, XObeauty and Mellow cosmetics. As they claim to be cruelty free. XObeauty and Mellow also claims to be vegan, or changing to be a vegan company.
Much love// Cruelty-free and from sweden
Thanks for sharing nice informatione.
I’m korean, and also totally supporting CLUELTY-FREE.
So your posting is very helping.
I’m sharing these posting on my SNS.
Hope many powerful cosmetic brand goes to CLUELY-FREE.
I know you mean well, but some of these comparisons are quite far off. Lâncome’s mascaras are rarely met in quality, let alone on the cruelty-free world. I honestly had to stop wearing mascaras altogether. It’s so upsetting that no cruelty-free brand has managed to do a truly good waterproof mascara. Too Faced came close, but not quite yet. The industry cannot catch up fast enough for me. It being such a basic makeup product just makes it a tad more frustrating.
Essence are CF and just as good.
Kiko is cruelty free and has a waterproof that will not come off for anything in this world:
https://www.kikocosmetics.com/pt-pt/maquilhagem/olhos/rimel/Extra-Sculpt-Waterproof-Mascara/p-KM0030105200044
You just gotta look for it!
Kiki is not cruelty-free. They are not listed in PETA list of the companies that don’t test on animals.
I really did believe these companies stopped all inhumane & useless testing on animals over 25 yrs ago after PETA launched a big campaign putting the pressure on them to stop – including the facts of how useless it was & videos of what these poor creatures go thru in order for women to wear certain brands of makeup. I’ll go without if that’s what it takes to ensure I’m not contributing to animal cruelty – WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS !!!
Thank you for your site, and information you give ?! It helps a lot
Such a shame that some companies still test
I love my new Savvy Minerals Makeup from Young Living and it is cruelty free. My drawers of other make up have all gone in the trash.
Thank you so much for this, it’s so helpful and I especially love that cruelty free alternatives are included. It’s so sad to think that so many high street brands and those we see in department stores are still not cruelty free, in this day and age…
I would like to see Sisley added to this list.
They now have a huge presence in mainland China – more sales than their native France and Europe, yet they persist in falsely claiming to be free of animal testing. In fact they seem to be actively quite evasive and untruthful about the issue.
It seems accruing ridiculous levels of weath (the family are already multi-billionaires) is more important over ethics and honesty.
Brilliant. Thank you for your hard work and raising awareness. I love your blog. Keep up the good work. Hayley 🙂
Thank you for the alternative to chubby sticks! I never buy anything Clinique (always CF for me), so I’m happy to find an alternative since all other drugstore brand chubby sticks tests too.
The Wet and Wild chubby sticks are pretty good and pretty much the same as Clinique! And they’re cruelty free! ?
Great suggestion! Thanks Becky! 🙂
I once used Lancome mascaras and lipsticks..When I found out they sell in China and were not cruelty-free it just infuriated me! And it still does..and it is really disheartening that Nars would start selling in China..to line their pockets at the expense and suffering of animals is disgraceful! This is a great post!
I am ever more disheartened that Hourglass is now owned by Unilever. Their Mineral Veil product is the very best primer available as far as I’m concerned. I’ve used this primer for two years because of my acne scars. No longer will I purchase any Hourglass cosmetic; I will not support Unilever in any way.

Artistry exclusive skin care and make up for over 60 years. American brand that we can trust. Certified by euromonitor internacional and Miss America sponsored, they use natural and organic ingredients. 6 month money back guarantee on all there products. If u get there yearly membership is only $62 a year for wholesale price. Proudly to use a brand i can trust for me and my family ❤️ Thanks
I loved Artistry until I found out that Betsy DeVos’s husband is Amway’s owner. No way will I knowingly give her a dime.
Hi.. Im just curious. Is that any problem with the owner of Amway??
Yes.. I’ve been using ARTISTRY too and i ❤️ It so much. Its safe and ?% organic with phytoplant. Would recommended ARTISTRY ❤️❤️❤️
I heard nudestix is currently selling in china. It is on the sephora china website as well. They claim to be cruelty free still by locally producing cosmetics in china to bypass the chinese animal testing laws. Can you research more about this? Is that actually possible to do?
I have also heard runours of Laura Mercier entering the chinese market as well. Any confirmation on this?
Thank you for all your research and efforts.
Great list! I’ve been looking for a better lash curler since my Tarte one still manages to yank out a lash here and there and I was between Shu Umera or a Tweezerman one a YouTuber recommended.
I’m glad that Stila and Smashbox have gone cruelty free. I have been using Stila eyeliner and poreless putty for years, as well as Smashbox’s BB cream. I already use Urban Decay, I love their products, and I just discovered Sugarpill and am debating to build my own palette with them. Right now the mascara I use is Lancome but I was thinking of switching to the one UD has, and I used to use one by Annabelle which is also cruelty free. Hmmm I can’t decide what vegan mascara to try. (I already tried Too Faced one and it didn’t work for me) I like volumizing lashes.
Great, thanks so much for sharing! I love Sugarpill shadows too. As for the vegan mascara, I would recommend the Pacifica Dream Big Mascara and the Tarte Limited-Edition Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara (the regular one is not vegan but the limited edition one with the crazy iridescent packaging is vegan)!
Yes I know about Pacifica. I volunteer at the hospital in my hometown and they have Pacifica cosmetics in the pharmacy so I’ll take a look. I hear Tarte is a good cruelty free brand too. I think building my own palette with Sugarpill might be worth it because in the long run I’ll save some money because the pans can be refilled. Cheaper than buying a whole new palette eh? Right now the one I use is Too Faced’s Chocolate Bons Bons. Thanks for the suggestions.
try the hello lashes mascara by IT cosmetics, i believe they are cruelty free and vegan 🙂
Yes, IT is cruelty free.
IT’s parent company is not cruelty free, which may impact their status (as they expand to markets).
Sadly Smashbox is owned by Estee Lauder & they test on animals, so Smashbox is not cruelty free, It seems that Stiila is, though, so that’s good news! Also, Urban Decay claims not to test but they are owned by L’Oreal – a company who notoriously tests products on animals.
I heard great things about Milk Makeup Kush Mascara. Its very popular and was always sold out when it first came out.
Try ARBONNE, all their products are Vegan & cruelty free! Kyliebarker.arbonne.com
You should try NYX’s new Worth the Hype Mascara
Clarins does too sell in China.
