In previous posts, readers will be well aware that I have used and reviewed products made by MAC cosmetics and L'oreal. I was unaware of the fact that they were not cruelty-free. Now that I know these things, I am no longer going to buy anything from them. I am aware that L'oreal also own a lot of other companies...including YSL and The Body Shop. Whenever I do some cosmetics shopping, I'm going to make sure they are cruelty-free.. even better if they're also vegan and organic.
I wish I could take back my actions and ensure that I have never bought make up that has tested on animals. Being a vegetarian, it makes it all the more meaningful to me.
I have done my homework on cruelty-free and animal rights. I read the PETA website often and follow them on Twitter. Even if the pictures are nasty and the stories are cruel, I am glad that I have read them and saw them because I feel more in control about what I spend my money on. I don't want to give these companies my money and advocate what they do. I know what the phrase "ignorance is bliss" means and I can apply it to this. There I was enjoying MAC's foundation completely unaware of what had been done to innocent animals. I thought "wow, this is a great foundation. I don't think I'll ever choose any other." Boy was I wrong. I am never going back to MAC or any other company that isn't cruelty free.
Good day.
