I personally still buys from cruelty-free companies like The Body Shop and Burt's Bees even though they are owned by companies who test, but I understand that a portion of the sale goes to that bad parent company. I found Urban Decay’s response on Temotalia's website: ”Though our ownership is changing, our policies are not. We just spoke to both the CCIC and PETA, and will keep our cruelty-free bunny icons. Urban Decay is staying cruelty-free and proud.”<br /><br />Aw and please don't stop blogging! I find there are very few cruelty-free bloggers out there, and you are one of my favorite ):Gaby Fauchonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014037641790308423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-59811257457788440482012-11-30T04:06:55.797-08:002012-11-30T04:06:55.797-08:00Thanks, Nancy :) I'm really grateful for blogs...Thanks, Nancy :) I'm really grateful for blogs like yours that feature indie brands with lots of vegan options (and I love the ideas you give on how to use them in looks, too!).Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09874844925155187919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-64029228131408814582012-11-29T21:58:10.875-08:002012-11-29T21:58:10.875-08:00Oh no :( I love your blog and I would be sad to se...Oh no :( I love your blog and I would be sad to see you go! But I can understand your point. I admit that although I prefer Cruelty Free products, I am not dedicated to buying only Vegan products. But for you, this is a huge deal. And if I was in your position, I would be very discouraged too. I think if I was indeed in your position, I would stick to awesome Vegan indie brands. :D In the end, it is always your choice. I will support your decision no matter what :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396348429570762818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-56981514367768020152012-11-27T06:40:28.987-08:002012-11-27T06:40:28.987-08:00Yeah, similar to The Body Shop.

I admit I still have bought *some* things from The Body Shop, but it's definitely not a "go-to" place for me. UD was definitely a go-to brand for me but that won't be the case if their parent company isn't cruelty-free. If they uphold the individual company's stance like The Body Shop, I might get something from them here and there (not totally boycott) but I will buy significantly less. In fact, I'm returning my unused Naked foundation today (in part because I never used it, but mostly because I'd rather seek out a completely CF & vegan alternative for when I do start using foundation regularly again).Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09874844925155187919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-39437414256472200182012-11-27T05:21:34.302-08:002012-11-27T05:21:34.302-08:00Have you seen Phyrra's post?

UD just seems to claim one thing and then do another, and I like to feel like I can *trust* a company if I'm putting their products on my face, LOL. Maybe this will turn into a Lime Crime/Sugar Pill blog ^.^ once I have some time to do colorful eye looks again... that'd be great <3Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09874844925155187919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-57142599295735293702012-11-26T23:56:44.609-08:002012-11-26T23:56:44.609-08:00Aww this makes me sad Sarah!

I feel well and truly sold out by Urban Decay (I never ever use Loreal products because they are the number 1 culprits for animal testing). Although I do use products that test on animals, I try and stay away from Loreal and now one of my personal favourite brands, Urban Decay are going against everything they have ever stood for. Just shows how in business, promises and standards mean absolutely nothing when money is involved. Anyways gone off on such a tangent but ANYWAYS, don't let this stop you. There are a tonne of indie brands out there, you could turn that into your niche? :)KayleighKMUAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16246346855326105062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-40227387305180726302012-11-26T19:01:38.664-08:002012-11-26T19:01:38.664-08:00Thank you, Lena.

Just because Urban Decay sucks and decideds to do dumb things, don't let that stop you from blogging. Their are still TONS of products/brands that are vegan, and things you can still enjoy. I personally could probably live off of Fyrinnae ;) I'm serious Sarah, I love your blog - don't give up on it. It's obviously your decision, but I would stick with it. Don't let UD being stupid ruin your blog. You could still post about a ton of stuff, reviews on the products you own that are vegan, FOTD's, EOTD's, and even more lifestyle posts like about your baby. Don't give up Sarah! :(aly7 https://www.blogger.com/profile/14853681649655675645noreply@blogger.com
