Cruelty Free Alternatives

Often times companies like L'Oreal, Maybelline, and CoverGirl will come out with innovative/new products, and it's always tempting to try them, but there's one big problem! They test on animals, and I refuse to buy cosmetics tested on animals, so I thought it would be helpful to those who also buy cruelty free, to make a post with dupes/alternatives 


Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation
















Cruelty free alternative Essence Soft Touch Mousse Make-up


















CoverGirl Outlast Lip Stain
















Cruelty free alternative Stila Lip Rouge 
















CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara
















Cruelty free alternative Wet N' Wild Mega Volume Mascara
















L'Oreal True Match Naturale
















Cruelty free alternative Wet N' Wild Natural Wear Mineral Foundation 
















CoverGirl Smoothers Makeup




















Cruelty free alternative Wet N' Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer


















L'Oreal H.i.P Duos
















Cruelty free alternative E.L.F Essentials Duo Eye Shadow

  1. Wow this is a great post!! It definitely informed me about which companies test on animals and which ones don't!

    Also about the orange and ginger lotion, I am definitely able to smell some ginger so if you don't like the smell of that, then I don't recommend it to you.

  3. Good job! I only wish Maybelline dream matte mousse foundation was hypoallergenic. Had a terrible reaction to that.

    I've never tried Great Lash so I can't give you an exact dupe, but some cruelty free drugstore brands to check out are Physician's Formula, Bonne Bell, Milani, Jordana, Hard Candy, and Salma Hayek's new line called Nuance which is sold exclusively at CVS. Sorry to hear that Wet 'N Wild mascaras don't work for you, I've tried one (Lash Intense) and really liked it.
