A Common Good in Cosmetics
What do
have in common? (Besides the fact that you can get them all in one stop at Sephora's)...
This
Some of your favorite (including mine... i wear all three i mentioned) cosmetics companies do not test on animals when creating their products. To some of you this may be a big deal, to others it may not. And to those that it doesnt shame on you, haven't you seen Legally Blonde 2? (i kid i kid... to each their own really). To be able to use this logo when advertising their product (you'll actually see the lil bunny guy in sephora next to them, i know i saw him next to Smashbox and Urban Decay durring my last trip) a company must either have signed PETA's statement of assurance or provided a statement verifying that they do not conduct or commission any nonrequired animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products and that they pledge not to do so in the future. On the list it will even have a V next to the companies that are completely Vegan. (Urban Decay has an entire section on their website devoted to show you which of their products are vegan).
The full list along with other info can be found at http://www.caringconsumer.com/
So what about you? Do you look into whether your cosmetics have been tested on animals or not? Does it even matter to you if they have?

I'm concerned about it but I admit not all of my products are cruelty-free. It's terrible, really, and I feel bad. I just pray that laws will be imposed to where these things will be enforced and required.
tbh, i have no concerns at all. horrible i know. but we cant all be using that and stuffs like body shop if they are not suitable for our skin type!
