Okay so here it is!!!
What some makeup companies do to animals is sickening! The other day I was in CVS and picked up a foundation by L’Oreal. Then, I remembered that you mentioned they tested on animals. I pictured one of those poor little bunnies; needless to say L’Oreal just lost me as a costumer. Your blog caused me to look through my makeup and throw out makeup made by companies that test on animals. Also, I looked for makeup with the "leaping bunny". While reading this blog I was curious about two things:
What other animals are tested on?
Do the makeup companies you mentioned that test makeup on animals test all of their makeup on animals or just certain products?
Thanks for the useful information!

Okay, to answer your questions the other animals that are tested in are rats, mice, rabbits, and birds are the most tested on. For your second question, they test on most of their products but not all, sadly there is no way to know.
Thanks to Kristen!!

New Post from Kristen!
Thanks Kristen!! To answer your question about Clinique this is what they have said about them testing on animals
"Clinique does not test our products on animals, nor do we ask others to test on our behalf. We use very few animal ingredients; the few that we use are by-products of the U.S. animal food industry. We use them only when their efficacy cannot be duplicated by any other source of ingredients. It is a corporate policy that logos, animal testing for instance, not be displayed on the packaging of our products."
Wow, that's terrible that poor, innocent animals have to go through this! I use a lot of Clinique makeup. Do they test on animals? I felt so bad for the poor bunnies that eye makeup is tested on. You're doing a great job at letting people know all of the horrible side effects that this makeup causes on animals, such as burns from eye makeup on the bunnies. Thanks for the list of places that don't test on animals and I learned about the "leaping bunny" too! That was really interesting to read about the cells that can be used to test on instead.
Thanks again Kristen!!
