I have been a big animal lover for as I can remember. There wasn’t a time when I did not have some type of some type of animal living with me, and could not understand why someone would get off abusing an animal. When I started wearing makeup, there were only a few cruelty-free makeup products on the market. But as years past, more and more cosmetic companies became cruelty-free. So, I did some research to which cosmetic companies are now cruelty-free. So, here’s a list of some popular cruelty-free makeup products from various brands.
