I definitely agree that this is something everyone should decide for themselves. I think it’s important that people know what these options are and then decide what they can do. Not everyone is at the same point in moving their items to being cruelty-free, not everyone has access to the same brands, etc. At the end of the day, I would rather someone support a cruelty-free brand with a parent company who tests than buy items that have been directly tested on animals.

It’s up to each individual and how they personally view it. I will buy from a cruelty free company even if their parent company tests; others won’t. I think judging others for what they consider cruelty free isn’t very nice nor fair.

Alley, I completely agree! Very well spoken. I don’t think people understand that when you purchase from a brand that is owned by a NON-cruelty free company, you are essentially supporting BOTH companies and the money is going to fund more animal testing. I wish more girls would see it that way.

Do you really want to give your money to a company OWNED by one that tests on animals? Your money will still be used to finance the torture of animals if you choose to continue purchasing NYX Cosmetics items. Same goes for Urban Decay and all of those other once cruelty-free companies that have sold their integrity.

You should try the Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme. They sell it at Sephora & it has very full coverage.

I usually shop at ultra or sephora they are the most convenient. I’m going to look into wet n wild and see how their color selection is as well as what drugstores might carry it. I just started exploring too faced any recommendations do they have a full coverage foundation? This is what I struggle with the most is finding a good full coverage foundation. I just started exploring everyday minerals and their products are great but I always like to have a mineral foundation and a liquid to apply where I need extra coverage. No where near me sell Gabriel and I hate buying over the internet without knowing what shade I will be. I love pacifica lotions there the best especially the luminizing one its great for summer. Their face wipes are perfect for traveling and the beach and they don’t bother my sensitive eyes. I have yet to try their makeup buy I’ve been eying the new waterproof mascara.

Btw, I love pacifica perfumes. Give them a try 🙂

There are plenty to chose from 🙂 Wet n wild got lots of vegan options. Too faced and Gabriel cosmetics, etc etc. But I am upset at NYX, I won’t be buying from them.
