Hey y'all this is ducky2, and I'm hear to talk to you about a topic that concerns me very much.

Animals have been giving their lives for stupid beauty products. Even some companies that have been testing on animals say that they are cruelty-free.

They do all sorts of horrible things in animal testing. Like, the poor animals get force-fed these gross dyes and cleaners, and have those products burn their poor little eyes out until they can't take it any more... and they die!?

So those product people might as well say, "Buy our products! It has beauty, poise, and pig grease!"

I think it's so sad! They do all sorts of other things to those poor bunnies, pigs and other animals that I don't even want to talk about in this article.

How can we trust them? Well, my friends and animal lovers, I have compiled a list of great products that are, on my honor, cruelty free.

Pangea Vegan Store: Ordered from them before. Quick service, sells everything from chocolate, makeup, personal care products, and much more.

Vegan Essentials: Never ordered from them yet, another good vegan store.

Barry M. Cosmetics: I love their makeup, the colors, the colors! I want to order from them but the shipping cost is high. Their in the UK.

Arbonne International: I ordered one eyeshadow from them, "Vapor"... and I ended up paying $18 and change for it! Well, it was $10 but with shipping and all that... But good quality cruelty-free cosmetics.

Sweet Sunnah: I love this place! I only use sweet sunnah shampoo and conditioner, no other brand. It's really the best. Expensive, yes, but their products are exceptional. Love it!

Aromaleigh: Natural mineral products. Nice eyeshadows, great prices if you buy 3 or more, plus $5 dollars off your first purchase!

Ecco Bella: Nice products. I have a mascara by them. But some products might
contain carmine, which is from a red beetle.

Madina Online: Soaps, lotions, shampoos, shea butter. Nice.

Different Daisy: Huge vegan store, lots of items. Nice.

Now here are some famous companies that DO test on animals, according to what I know... Editor's Note: Ducky2 didn't investigate these companies personally, so this list is not necessarily accurate. Please look into the matter yourself before deciding to write to or boycott these or any other businesses, okay? See if you can find a government report that says so -- not all websites can be totally trusted for their facts, even Whyville. :-) Thanks, folks!

Clairol, Inc., Coty, Cover Girl, Elizabeth Arden Inc., Helene Curtis Industries, Johnson & Johnson, Lever Bros., Max Factor, Mennen Co., Oil Of Olay, Pantene, Procter & Gamble Co., Sally Hansen, SmithKline and Beecham, Vidal Sassoon, etc.

I hope you liked my article, and that's basically all I have to say about it.

For now, it's ducky2, clicking off.

Editor's Note: From what I understand, animal testing is essentially illegal in the U.S. -- If you find an official source that says it's not, please let us know!
