Here’s my make up collection, split in to three categories, those companies who don’t test on animals, those I don’t know about or they haven’t replied to my query, and those who do test on animals and should be boycotted! I’ve been using the PETA and BUAV lists which list good companies as ones that do not test their products and ingredients on animals. There’s a big difference between that and just their products!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT and HELPFUL COMMENTS. I’M DEFINITELY NOT AN EXPERT IN THIS AREA, MERELY INTERESTED AND WANT TO FIND OUT THE RIGHT INFORMATION. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT (SO DOES HARVEY!)
**UPDATE***
The Beauty Factories/Manly cosmetics 120 pro eyeshadow pallette is tested on animals.
Revlon have recently been added to my “good” list.
Rimmel wrote to me saying that they do not test their products on animals – but some of the ingredients may be tested on animals… so it’s still on my naughty list! Rimmel is part of the Coty group who make most of the “celebrity” perfumes like Kylie’s.
BOOTS also doesn’t test their own make up (No 7, natural collection, No 17) on animals, although their packaging gives no information.
GOSH COSMETICS also wrote to me, they do not test on animals either.
Elizabeth Arden telephoned me to tell me that they do not test their products or ingredients on animals.
WHY DO THESE COMPANIES NOT PUT THIS INFO ON THEIR WEBSITES???? WE NEED TO KNOW!
Thank you to everyone who has left a comment with new information about animal testing of cosmetics, really appreciated.

Jasmine, THANK YOU! This video was incredibly helpful. I’ve been sending the link around to my friends. I really admire you for sticking to your principles and discarding makeup that is not cruelty-free. I’m going to have to take a look through my own collection and do the same. Oh, and Harvey is just adorable!!!

I am challenged. My step-daughter wants to start wearing make-up. However she is a cruelty free advocate. She has asked me to find her a good mascara. The mascara’s that I like so far for myself probably aren’t going to cut the mustard. So I was wondering if you could make a recommendation for her for a mascara that 1. cruelty free 2. Works well, doesn’t smudge she works out, looks good on etc.?

I went through all of my products and I think only one or two things went into the bad pile…most of my stuff is either MAC or Clinique so it was all safe. I completely respect you for doing this! Why we haven’t come up with the technology to virtually test these products so animals aren’t hurt is beyond me.

Have you tried looking at NAVS Personal Care for People Who Care? It talks extensively on companies who test and also on the shades of grey some companies employ to be able to say they do not test on animals.

I just looked at your updates list and Im VERY glad that “boots” doesn’t test on animals because I would have wasted like 30 pounds if they did because I am strictly opposed to animal tested products…… and I just threw out my rimmel eyeliner because of this video so Thank you VERY much!! =)
