I...I was kinda shocked when I first heard about it! I really don't think they can get that much business in China because most of Chinese girls don't even wear makeup! Even some girls do, they don't wear crazy colors like Urban decay has. They probably need to change all their product if they want to do very well in China... <br />Not cool... feel like all they care about is money!

A lot of brands I've seen you use just happen to be cruelty-free, like e.l.f.!<br />I am just sad because I decided to switch to all cruelty-free, thinking that U.D. would never change.

They have been doing great business in the past couple of years due to very popular palettes, so I doubt it is an issue of sinking or floating.

I would be less bothered if they had simply admitted that the profit potential was too large to ignore and that they're very sorry and hope to be cruelty-free again in the near future. Instead, they're pretending they are still cruelty free and will "save Chinese women" or something... what a ridiculous statement.Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09874844925155187919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-26273290931301071842012-06-11T07:24:07.466-07:002012-06-11T07:24:07.466-07:00I know, that's why it really sucks :(I know, that's why it really sucks :(Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09874844925155187919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-8189886476001855742012-06-11T07:18:02.935-07:002012-06-11T07:18:02.935-07:00This is all kinds of lame.

It ...I don't think cruelty free is a cover up. It means that no unnecessary cruelty was involved in production. I'm not sure how collagen is obtained, and I don't think I've seen gelatin in a product that was also labled cruelty free. I don't know enough about carmine production or the bugs it comes from to say whether those bugs suffer or not. The simple fact is that cosmetic products really don't need to be tested on animals because they can be tested on humans (I'm not referring to medical testing at all, because I'm not sure how I feel about that). I think it's always worthwhile to reduce the animal suffering as much as possible, even if it can't be completely eliminated.Sarah S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09874844925155187919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2513392291562305747.post-39810599212218258902012-06-08T22:54:19.990-07:002012-06-08T22:54:19.990-07:00Oh! cruelty free is more of a cover up then.
