Cruelty-Free Update

I am saddened by the need to write this post. If you have read my blog for very long, or taken a peek around at various different pages on my blog, you know that I strive to purchase only Cruelty-Free products. There are many drugstore brands that I don't buy because either the brand itself, or the parent company of the brand, is not cruelty-free.(To see my list of companies that do or do not test, click on the link at the top of my blog.)

I have taken to buying a lot of 3 specific drugstore brands because they were cruelty-free (and also had great polish) but I will no longer be purchasing any of those brands. Revlon, a company that stopped animal testing in 1989, has resumed testing to sell their products in Asia (where animal testing is required). In the past few months, Revlon purchased both Sinful Colors and Bari Cosmetics, who owns Pure Ice and Bon Bons brands.  This means I will no longer be purchasing any of these brands - three of my favorite brands. It really saddens me that Revlon felt the need to sell out just to make a bigger profit margin. I guess that's the nature of the beast though. They certainly aren't the first company to start testing so that their products could be sold in Asia.

I have been researching all of this information for a while because I did not want to make a rush decision and falsely accuse these companies without feeling like I had 100% proof. I felt the need to post this so that people would know what was happening with these companies and so they can make their own informed decisions. I do not condemn anyone for purchasing these brands and I am not trying to sway opinions - just stating my own.

Going Cruelty-Free

I have been thinking about going Cruelty-Free for quite awhile now, I am a huge animal-lover and I just don't feel right putting my money towards products that have been created by hurting animals. I look at my precious dogs and think about other animals just like them that have been hurt just so I can have something pretty. I just don't feel right about it. Please know that this is my personal decision and I am, in no way, trying to make anyone feel bad or condemn them. This is just a decision I felt I needed to make FOR MYSELF.

So, as of now, I will longer be purchasing cosmetics of any kind (obviously including nail polish) from companies who test on animals, or are owned by parent companies who test on animals. I will be adding a tab to my blog of Cruelty-Free (and non-CF) brands. In addition to not purchasing these products anymore, I will not be featuring them on my blog anymore either.

I am not a vegetarian or a vegan, nor am I affiliated with, or intend to be affiliated with, PETA.

But don't worry, there are PLENTY of Cruelty-Free brands to play with and hopefully the number will keep growing. I don't think I'm going to be missing out on a thing. Thanks for understanding my stance on this!
