Zimbabwe News: Cruelty Free Makeup Tutorial!

For easter just gone, instead of doing a makeup tutorial inspired by Easter colours etc, this year I decided to do a Cruelty Free makeup tutorial featuring products by NYX, ELF, Urban Decay, Wet n Wild, Zoeva, Barry M and SmashBox! Some of the products are Vegan also, and I let ye know throughout the video which products are vegan and what's not!

As I mentioned in the video, with the bit of research I did, these companies all claim to be cruelty free. Some do indeed belong to bigger 'umbrella' companies like Estee Lauder or L'Oréal who may test on animals, so the whole claim can be a tad unsteady sometimes. Also, a company can still claim to be cruelty free if their end products are not animal tested by THEMSELVES... This isn't to say that the ingredients or source materials weren't tested on animals somewhere down the line OR that a separate outside company did not test the products. Again, it's hard to tell if a company is indeed truly cruelty free. Anyhow, I digress...

I strongly suggest you all do a little research yourselves if it bothers you and make your own decision on who to support as 'cruelty free' and who to skip. Luckily, animal testing is completely illegal here in the EU on cosmetics and this includes imported cosmetics etc. Policies vary worldwide though so check about your own region online!
