So as you all have probably heard MAC have been taken off the cruelty free PETA list.
I'm not actually someone who concentrates on whether or not a product has been tested on animals because to be brutally honest, I never actually knew animals suffered for what we use.
I sound so stupid saying this but I discovered it about 3 days ago and I'm absolutely horrified.
As soon as I watched the PETA videos and read some articles about it I felt like such a horrible human being. I was literally crying to my mum about it (which convinced her to go cruelty free too!) and I came to the decision that I will use up all the products I have, because it's no really that helpful if I just throw it all away and it's a waste of my money, once all the product has gone I'll only purchase things from a cruelty free company. I am so upset that MAC went back on their anti animal testing pledge in mid March, if I knew this I probably wouldn't have bought their eye pencil. I'm going to try my best to only review and buy cruelty free products from now on. :)
I hope some of you guys agree with this but obviously I don't want to make anyone change their opinion because of something I believe.
Anyway, I'm going shopping on Saturday because I've ran out of so many products :( I'm thinking of getting the Chanel VitaLumiere Aqua foundation so stay tuned for a review of that within the next week or so. I'm also going to be visiting LUSH and getting a lot of new shampoos, conditioners and skin treatments so I might do a quick haul of what I buy later on Saturday.
Love you all!

As a pescetarian (veggie who eats fish) of 18 months, I really should go cruelty free too. I have never purchased anything from MAC *shock horror* and now after reading this, I doubt I will. What annoys me the most is their u-turn. It would appear that decision to go cruelty free in the first place was nothing more than a PR stunt.
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note: thank you so much for following my blog- I really appreciate it and I will be trying to make my posts more regular!

Thank you so much, that means alot! I'm actually just having a little play around with the layout and background- I'm no good with that sort of stuff though!
DeleteI have just followed you back :)
Also do you know the best (and cheapest) cruelty free brands? Would love to see more about that!

haaha me neither, it took me about a day to change mine! :')
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's so nice of you :)
I was lookin into this yesterday and I found out E.L.F and lush are both cruelty free which is amazing since E.L.F is incredibly cheap and loads of bloggers rate it :) I'm going to keep looking into it and I might do a post about it :)
