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. 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. We care about animals in China as well as everywhere else on the globe. No only do they have Stix, they have traditional cream lipsticks, matte lipsticks, and something called “blur lipstick” which I haven’t figured out yet.

As for the Black Honey blowup, Dawkins said she and her team noticed the trend in July when they saw the hashtags were trending on social media. “It’s appealing for teenagers because it feels more grown-up, but it’s also appealing for people that are my age because it’s a little trendier than a regular bullet lipstick,” Aédo said.
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.
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’m glad that Stila and Smashbox have gone cruelty free.
“Now I’ve been telling everyone, ‘just try it.’ I don’t know what kind of magic is in it, but it’s fixed so many of my skin issues,” she tells me. Feinsten’s skin is problematic, to say the least. “I’d been using the heaviest possible over-the-counter acne wash for like a decade,” she tells me.

Sephora sells its products in China where animal testing is required by law for foreign cosmetics. Clinique is owned by Estée Lauder and its official animal testing policy is not to test on animals except when required by law.
I’ve read that about Mary Kay elsewhere, they’re obviously not an honest company. There is such a large market in China that brands would be dumb not to sell there. So buy American and many of these brands are cruelty free. It’s rather mean to share the last graphic, the list of cruel companies, when your article claims Maybelline has gone cruelty-free but is still included on that graphic, that list. I think then law should use testing on inmates instead of animals.Their the ones who are Guilty but the Innocent Animals have to suffer.This is not right Whose idea was it to start testing on animals anyway?
