Something very close to my heart, and that I'm honestly very passionate about, is the elimination of animal testing. My reasons for this are broad, first of all, I obviously love animals, I feel I have a true bond with them. However my other reasons are more on the philosophical side, and stem from the idea that animals should have the exact same rights as humans, as humans are animals themselves!! I won't bore you going into the deep details, but maybe one day I'll do a post about it...
As a massive beauty lover myself, this is something very close to my heart...
I understand that many may disagree with what I'm saying, and I don't mean to offend anyone, these are just my opinions! I want everyone to know that I'm not trying to impose my views at all, and of course people who do use animal tested brands aren't bad people, I'd just like people to know more about it :)
Anyways, I feel that those who aren't cruelty free allow themselves to become ignorant, mainly due to the fact they don't understand the torture animals go through. Others are also lazy, and decide not to go cruelty free as it may inconvenience them, or because it would mean they couldn't use their favorite brand of makeup anymore, I'll admit I used to be like that! But that doesn't mean your view can't change! Most don't understand that animal testing isn't just spraying perfume on a bunny to see how it smells, rather animal testing includes burning, poisoning and numerous forms of torture on these innocent and vulnerable animals (I wont go into the gory details). Popular makeup brand that test on animals include, M.A.C Cosmetics, Chanel, Lancome, L'Oreal and Bobbi Brown just to name a few.
To live in a peaceful world how can humans be doing this to their fellow animal? We can no longer allow the human race to corrupt the innocent, naive and vulnerable in our world. We cannot call ourselves harmonious people if we allow destruction to continue in our world, so if this post can make at least one person understand the true consequences of our actions, then I will be happy! :)
On a lighter note, I though I would list a few of of my favourite cruelty free brands:
- Anastasia Beverly Hills
- Barefaced Mineral Cosmetics
- Bare Minerals
- Barry M
- ELF Cosmetics
- Eyeko
- Illamasqua

- Smashbox Cosmetics
- Soap & Glory
- Sonia Kashuk
- Stila Cosmetics
- Suki
- Tarte Cosmetics
- The Body Shop
- Too Faced Cosmetics

- Victoria's Secret
...And that's just to name a few! For more brands look at the Peta website, they are very helpful!
Sorry if this post was a bit full on, but I just felt that as a beauty lover it was something I had to speak about.
