Against Animal Testing

Hey Everyone,

I wanted to share a post with you all on animal testing.

As I am sure many of you are aware animal testing STILL goes on and in 2016 I feel very strongly that this is unacceptable. There is a massive movement going on at the minute and I wanted to take some time out to share my views.

I unfortunately worked at MAC who disgustingly has their products tested on animals  (along with many others) and a lot of their products make up my kit. Not long ago they released a statement which basically said that they are 'working' on animal testing being banned in China, however as it is still a legal requirement in that country, money means far more to them than animals, therefore they will still continue to sell there rather than pull their products... in a nutshell.

I will no longer be purchasing any products that test on animals... I have a very large kit of makeup which does still have some brands, and as much as I would LOVE to bin them all, I'm not a millionaire, I have no choice but to use up what I have so I can then replace them with cruelty free products. You will see over the next few months posts informing you of replacement products that I will be using. In addition to this I will also no longer be promoting any such brands, I have deleted all old blog posts that promote such brands. I can't change the past or the lack of education I had on the topic, but I can make positive changes to be the change I wish to see in the world.

You can find out if a brand tests by simply googling it, it takes all of about 2 seconds.

I look forward to finding new products I may have over looked in the past and sharing my finds with you. I also urge you to tag me or share with me any of your favourite cruelty free products.

Recommendations welcome :)
