List your favourite brands here ***Please omit any brands that are sold on the Chinese market and state if they are owned by a cruel parent company (eg. L'Oreal, Estee Lauder, Revlon, Clorox etc).*** A good few lists to play around with to find CF brands; www.logicalharmony.net/cruelty-free-vegan-brand-list/www.mybeautybunny.com/cruelty-free-brands/Not all brands are listed. A lot of international brands aren't, either. Mine are: *Wet N Wild *NYX (sadly, now acquired by L'Oreal, but I'm happy with the products I have bought in the past) *Coastal Scents (I swear, their eyeshadows are dupes for Sugarpill) *Pur Minerals *Skinn by Dimitri James *YBF/Your Best Friend *Australis (Australian brand) *Essence *BYS/Be Yourself (Australian brand) AND HOW COULD I NOT LIST MY FAVOURITE? *LUSH There are certain CF brands that I won't touch, solely based on business practices and utter wankery, those are Lime Crime and Mirenesse.

Oh this is wicked. Thanks for this. I've started having a look through the brands, and 100% Pure sounds good. All natural ingredients. Have you tried it?

Sorry but I'm so excited by this list. Went onto Leaping Bunny UK and there's 3 major supermarkets that are completely cruelty free. I thought I was gonna have to struggle to find, and then pay a fortune for, cruelty free stuff. But knowing I can pick up a sainsburys own-brand shower gel up for 90p this is gonna be good! Dermalogica is also totally cruelty free which are skin products i swear by. So i'm so relieved i don't need to change my cleanser and things now that ive found a brand that keeps my skin mostly under control. Found a few make-up brands on there that I want to try, and it's about time to get a new foundation. Thanks so much Lara! Since I joined facebook in may I've become aware of what goes on during animal testing so it's great to be pointed in the right direction for brands and blogs

For all you UK lot. Just found this site that stocks BWC make-up products and also every purchase helps raise money for campaigns putting a stop to animal testing and animal cruelty in general. Beauty Without Cruelty products aren't cheap though, (i'm hoping that means they're good and worth the money though) but i'm going to buy some and if anyone wants me to post reviews of each product in the Make-Up section let me know and i will www.animalaidshop.org.uk/

Can you give me the reason why you don't like lime crime? Been thinking of buying from them and would like a heads up also Medusas Makeup is a great cruelty free and vegan line

Fortunately, the scandal has been back up and is publically accessable, after Doe Deere probably silenced everyone who disagreed with her. Basically, Doe Deere is a scammer. She would've been blasted if she had entered our community. cakeandhottease.wordpress.com/2013/11/18/377/As for Mirenesse, I exposed a scam of theirs and reported them to the local consumer protection authorities.

I've actually been wanting to try some indie brands, because of my friend Victoria of Biohazardous Beauty. I sent her a bunch of Mac pigments I had lying around, along with a few other things, and she's going to send me some samples in return. I asked for a sample of something from Sugarpill and My Pretty Zombie, but I have no idea what she has in store for me! Concrete Minerals, MPZ, Lunatick Cosmetics Labs, don't know!

Yep I read all about lime crime when you posted that on Facebook. I think it was you. And post some pics whenever you get those and play around with them, I love learning about new brands!

I did post that on my page. Also, another CF company to avoid is Younique. I don't know about their products, but their sales reps are pushy little bastards. They also have a history of copyright infringement. Enough to put me off a company. Ugh, I'm sick of them. Like Avon, but more annoying. *FYI, Avon is not CF*
