Vegan Makeup
So this is a question from my sister. She's a pretty new vegan and she has a huge weakness for makeup. She isn't willing to give it up altogether but she's having trouble finding cheap vegan alternatives. She's a poor college student who wears makeup a lot. I wasn't any help. I never wear it so I don't even really know brands. Any advice I can pass on?

www.veganstore.com
www.veganessentials.com www.differentdaisy.com www.veganunlimited.com Those websites have vegan makeup. I believe some Almay makeup is vegan, but you really have to check the ingredients. Different "popular" or mainstream companies sometimes don't test on animals, but a lot of times, the ingredients are suspect or obvious animal products. It's really worth it to invest in a vegan company, like Zuzu Luxe. Are you thinking of going vegan yourself? ![]()

I am vegan.
![]() Thanks for the links. I'll send them on to her. Hopefully she hasn't checked all those places yet. |

Revlon and Prestige don't test on animals...maybe she'd want to start with that?

I just went into a department store to check out their cosmetics and they were redoing the Beauty Without Cruelty section - all the packaging has been changed to nice contemporary matt silver, and they now have a big sign saying it's all suitable for vegans! YAY!
![]() I just hope this doesn't tempt me to get my credit card out ![]()

Wow, I wonder if any stores in the US sell their cosmetics in the store. I've only been able to find them online.

Does anyone know of a waterproof mascara(that you can buy online)?
I don't wear much makeup(mainly cause i'm so bad at putting it on!!) but I like mascara though I hardly ever wear it cause I have habbit of rubbing my eyes all the time & smudged mascara isn't such a great look ![]() |

I haven't seen a vegan waterproof mascara, PP.
I visited the Lush website and couldn't help but notice that items labeled as "vegan" had honey in them. An example: http://www2.lush.com/cgi-bin/lushdb/...nd=00010:upd=y

On http://www.veganessentials.com/ they have a Zuzu Luxe mascara which is water-resistant. I don't know if this is exactly what you were looking for. Personally, I find the waterproof mascaras almost impossible to get off without eye makeup remover, so I tend to stay away from them. Water resistant seems like a good in-between.

I use the Zuzu Luxe one, but I take the wand out and wipe it off before applying. I think that's part of the reason why I don't have a problem with smears.

Hehe, since all the talk of makeup I've had a trememdous urge to adorn myself for some reason
![]() Today I went into this great place in Leicester called Blink - it's a little gothy, glam-y boutique and they have a nice range of Stargazer stuff, which is (afaik) *all* vegan. So I got a golden eyeliner pencil for 99p (about $1.80?) and some pinky-gold lipgloss and sea-coloured glitter gel. Yay, I'm going to be all sparkly for the holiday season ![]() Oh, and the best thing about the eyeliner is that it says in massive (well, as massive as you can get on an eyeliner pencil) letters along the side "cruelty free - vegan" ![]()

Awsome! I love hearing that. Not only does it make things easy for vegans, but it might make other people think for a moment. At least it will remind them that veganism is an option... and they won't have to give up their favorite cosmetics! |
