I do (maybelline mascara), but I'm trying to go completely cruelty free. All the lovely people on beautylish have done an awesome job of informing me on drugstore brands that don't test on animals!  :)

Omg never!! I don't know why anyone would do something so cruel when there are newer, more acurate ways to test products and they don't involve animals! I hope that some day things will change for those poor helpless animals. Imagine if you were them!

I'm so happy that there are articles on beautylish about this though, because I think that a lot of people just don't know about it. I try to spread the word as much as possible:)

No way!! I'm 100% cruelty free and don't buy products until I know they don't test on animals. It's so terrible they test on animals, it's cruel and horrifying.

Yes I do. There are MANY other threads on this subject already, where I have expressed why I am in favor of testing. In fact, most of those threads discuss pretty much every possible opinion on the subject in great detail-- I recommend using the search function and reading them.

I feel bad about how they use animal to testings, but I also eat animals so its a double moral using cruelty free makeup but eating a chicken who has been created and killed in a farm...:(

No offense or anything, I completely understand why you wouldn't use makeup that test on animals but, tbh I could care less.

@Kirstyn P. The "ban" in the EU (and possibly in the UK, though I haven't heard of it being adopted there) is a very misleading piece of legislation that does absolutely nothing to combat animal cruelty, and seeks only to limit consumer choice. The "ban" excludes ingredients already tested on animals (pretty much EVERY ingredient in use), ingredients being tested in other products (e.g. medications), and tests for which there are no non-animal alternatives (certain safety tests such as allergic, neurobiologic, and other reactions). The only effect that the law will have is that European consumers will face increased prices on cosmetics and personal care products, while simultaneously losing many safe and effective products that are already being sold because parent companies must carry out safety tests in order to sell in other (larger) markets.

This will never occur in the United States because we value consumer choice, free market enterprise, and consumer safety over animal "rights". (I'm not even going to go into the scientific reasons why ingredients are tested on animals, because that would take much longer than I have time to explain.)

I personally wouldn't. lol @ "tbh, I couldn't care less" didn't have to be a bitch about it, a simple no would have been okay.

No.
There is a HUGE list of animal testers and non testers if you really want to check it out.

The problem with legislation like that is people get caught up in the good intent and completely miss the insidious flaws hidden underneath. That is happening in the US with regards to food labeling reform (will increase costs of produce, putting it further out of reach to low income people), obesity prevention (increase taxes on some foods/drinks, because grown adults need a nanny government to tell us what to eat)... A lot of legislation is well intentioned, but ends up being the complete opposite of what it seeks to be. Our system in the USA allows us to defeat these measures by popular vote, in the EU it is a little more complicated to overturn.

The question Kirstyn asked required a yes or no answer, not a debate...

Emily W.

I don't see any debate here. I gave my answer to her question in my first post, gave a bit of relevant information in my second post, then replied to her comment for my third post. Nobody debated anything. If you don't like having a discussion, don't post in an online discussion forum.

@emily w. you've got a lot to say and a lot to argue about! And yes, I agree with paige m.
