I’m confused with Benefit and Bourjois still, as I’ve talked to people from both companies who are adamant that the brands don’t test on animals anywhere? Obviously Bourjoir’s parent company does though. Maybe there are in this world other bottles of the same product that were tested on animals, but this particular one on my hands wasn’t, and that’s good enough for me. The best way to and all animal testing is education.
Like many other luxury brands, Dior tests on animals. Because of this, Dior isn’t considered to be a cruelty-free brand. Like many of these brands, Chanel’s animal testing policy is nowhere to be found on their website. But their products are indeed sold in mainland China, where animal testing is mandatory for foreign cosmetics.

I have been using Stila eyeliner and poreless putty for years, as well as Smashbox’s BB cream. I already use Urban Decay, I love their products, and I just discovered Sugarpill and am debating to build my own palette with them. Right now the mascara I use is Lancome but I was thinking of switching to the one UD has, and I used to use one by Annabelle which is also cruelty free. (I already tried Too Faced one and it didn’t work for me) I like volumizing lashes. The difference in a brand that is vegan and bought in a store that sells dead animals is that the dead animals there are humanely killed, and don’t suffer. Companies don’t pour out individual bottles of foundation, use it to test on animals, then pour it back into the bottle and sell it to you.
This is also supply and demand — the supply of cruelty-free makeup has to meet the demand of CF shoppers. It doesn’t matter where in the world you buy your makeup, if the company which makes it allows it to be tested on animals Estee Lauder makeup in order for them to make more money, you are paying for that animal testing yourself. Rimmel London claims to be “against animal testing”, but in reality, they are not cruelty-free as they sell their products in China.
