Since they sell their products in China, this means they are subject to animal testing and thus they are not a cruelty-free brand. They are owned by Estée Lauder, which as mentioned above, shares the same policy to test when required by law. Covergirl may use adorable kittens in their advertising campaigns to give off a cute and cuddly image, but they still test on animals!
Companies that are cruelty-free do not sell locally in China, or sell there online only, which doesn’t require any animal tests. Similarly to Avon, Mary Kay’s representatives are sometimes responsible for misinformation regarding Mary Kay’s animal testing policy. While they are very vocal about “not testing on animals”, they actually do test on animals where required by law. In the late 1989, they announced a moratorium on animal testing of its products. Sadly, in 2012 they started testing on animals again when they made the decision to join the Chinese market. Dior is owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton / Moët Hennessy).

Also available in a pink honey, this lipstick uses a mix of red, blue and yellow pigments to help produce a flattering and unexpected berry shade. It’s smooth like a balm, but gives your lips a smooth color tint. What many may not know is that Black Honey’s history goesway back. And thanks to its current ‘Almost Lipstick’ formulation, that originally launched in 1989, the ‘your lips but better’ shade has gained worldwide traction once again. But a beauty company can’t completely ignore industry trends, whether that means a ubiquitous product like highlighter or the decline of IRL shopping.

Before its viral fame on TikTok, it was already a cult classic as Clinique’s number 1 selling lipstick, with one sold every minute according to fashion website NYLON. It was originally sold in a glass jar to mimic a honeypot, but in 1989 the shade was moved into the Almost Lipstick line—which gives sheer, glossy color—and sold in a conventional lipstick tube instead.
I am ever more disheartened that Hourglass is now owned by Unilever. Their Mineral Veil product is the very best primer available as far as I’m concerned. I’ve used this primer for two years because of my acne scars. No longer will I purchase any Hourglass cosmetic; I will not support Unilever in any way.
No, because if you boycott a certain brand, their sales and popularity are going down and they need to react. You can not boycott a certain country’s laws, especially if you are not from that country. Do you think that people that make the laws in China care what some random person from another country thinks about their laws? Glad to see that there Lancome makeup are so many people that use cruelty free products, my skin and hair are healthier. Since La Mer’s makeup is formulated with unique ingredients, it is a bit challenging to find exact dupes. However, I would definitely recommend the foundations and other products from 100% Pure, as they have luxurious formulations that are a bit more affordable.

While they claim to have “a deep respect for animal welfare”, it seems to be part of careful wording to distract from the fact that they are not cruelty-free. As with Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent is also owned by L’Oreal, and adheres to L’Oreal’s animal testing policy. As YSL products are sold in mainland China, they unfortunately are not cruelty-free. To be honest, I wasn’t sure about the shade before I put it on.
After a refill for City Block, it was time for one of the brand’s promotions where if you spend a certain dollar amount, your order comes with a big bag of samples. Lancome makeup City Block was Laura Feinstein’s gateway product for Clinique. After getting her skin read, she found out years of driving in college had damaged her skin on the left side and she knew she had to get serious about sun coverage. City Block gave her sun coverage, but didn’t solve her other skin problems.
