Hi everyone,

So… today I just wanted to talk to you guys about something that has been on my mind for a while… A couple of weeks ago I encountered a Vegan girl who got into a little bit of a “discussion” with me on her channel about how I was missing out on so many great palettes and cruelty-free makeup Brands because I demanded all my makeup to be Vegan…

there are a lot of companies out there that have cruelty-free products but not vegan..

Here is just a few things that can be in your makeup ( even Cruelty-free)

Bees Wax,Carmine ( Crushed Beetles) Glycerin, Lanolin ( Derived from the oil glands of sheep) Placenta,Bone Meal, Cystine,Gelatin(Protein obtained by boiling the skin, tendons, ligaments, or bones of pigs and cows,Tallow,Keratin,Urea ( animal Urine)

as you can see most of the ingredients in your makeup come from the remains of an animal, part of the animals or a product from the animal ( which can be cruel to the animal) I think its Great that there are Cruelty-free companies out there and Animals are not tested on and tortured but why does that not extend to the ingredients in the product…

I mean… it would TRUELY be cruelty-free for me if NO ANIMALS were harmed in the making of the product.. whether its testing or ingredients…If testing on them bothers you then Killing them should bother you even more and it is in some ways WAY more cruel than testing… I guess it doesn’t really make much sense to me!!!

as for my “discussion” with this Vegan girl, I managed to get my point across a bit, but what she would not recognize as an animal product was Bees Wax… Infact, many Vegans are oK with eating honey or using products that contain that… they say well, its not like any bees were harmed … its just a Natural process and product…

I just want to share the following video with you guys from ” Bite Size Vegan” she manage to summarize everything I have to say in her awesome video, so if you think Bees Wax or honey are ok to use… please take a few min and watch

Would you still call products containing BeesWax Cruelty-free?

Let me know what you guys think in the comments, thank you so much for reading…

Love & Peace
