How cruelty free is my makeup collection?

Hi everyone!

I've always been a meat eater, and I can't see that changing anytime soon. Trust me, I've tried to convert my diet by watching those videos being shared out on Facebook, which puts me off for about 2 hours but as soon as I see something as simple as chicken nuggets, the video would be wiped from my brain (until I see it pop up again...)

However, I'm sure we can all agree that animal testing isn't that fun. In most cases, the animals are suffering long after being tested on which obviously isn't too pleasant to see or think about. So I decided to visit a blog which has studied most makeup brands and listed all brands which don't test on animals. So how cruelty-free is my makeup collection?

Now, I've already purchased all these products and I feel like the ones which DO test on animals shouldn't be put to waste. To separate each product and to know which brands I shouldn't be buying in future, I've stuck white labels on the products which do test to remind me for future reference.

KIKO Milano

Now, a majority of my makeup is from KIKO - as I've said in the past I'm obsessed! Now, the website states that KIKO have yet to respond to these questions which made me a bit unsure whether or not they do test on animals. However, I reverted to Google and under KIKO's terms and conditions it states that they DON'T test on animals *insert sigh of relief*

Urban Decay

I do have a few bits from Urban Decay, which I like to use on special occasions due to their products being high-quality product (and they have the most gorgeous pieces of packaging too!) I knew this one already that Urban Decay DON'T test on animals. However, I didn't know that their parent company L'Oreal (which I didn't know was them) do test on animals. But I'm just going to accept that that Urban Decay is a brand which I will be buying from again.

Rimmel London

From the age of 15, I used to be obsessed with Rimmel London products as they were easily accessible from my local Boots and their products are at an affordable price. I still buy the occasional product when popping in like a new lipstick or eyeliner in case my original has run out or I want to try a new lipstick shade. But from searching on this website I have discovered that they DO test on animals. This means a majority of my lipsticks won't be making a return in my makeup collection!

Real Techniques

I've been buying these brushes for a long old time, they're fantastic quality and last ages! Thankfully Real Techniques DO NOT test on animals! Also, the BeautyBlender (different brand) is 100% vegan - another reason to get your hands on one!

Overview

Above is my makeup collection split into two. To be honest it's pretty much 50/50!

A key trend with the products that do test on animals are mostly lipsticks in my collection, surprisingly most of my brushes are cruelty-free which did surprise me!

Other brands which were in my collection were as follows:

Barry M - DO NOT TEST
Benefit - DO TEST
Bourjois Paris - DO TEST
MAC - DO TEST
Maybelline - DO TEST
No. 7 - UNKNOWN (Google claims that they DO NOT test on animals)
Seventeen - DO TEST (which makes me sad because their mascaras work wonders on my lashes!)
W7 - DO NOT TEST

To find out how cruelty free your makeup bag is - you can click through to this handy website Logical Harmony: www.logicalharmony.net/cruelty-free-vegan-brand-list/ which lists all brands that don't test on animals. If your chosen brand doesn't show up it means that they do test on animals.

​See you in the next blog post,
