DO NOT BUY THESE BRANDS!!!

I just wanted to touch on the whole animal testing issue. I am STRONGLY against it. Its sick. How vain do you have to fucking be to kill an animal just to gain some shallow cosmetic satisfaction? I hate anyone who is okay with animal testing and animal cruelty in general. I passionately hate them.

Now the only way acceptable to me for an animal to die at the hands of a human (aside from self defense...I guess) is if the human is to eat the animal. Nothing else. Anatomically our bodies are designed to eat meat. A diet solely based on vegetables is not natural. It is the way of life.

I'm not going to show any cruel pictures, I know how heart wrenching those commercials are, all I ask is that you please pass this word on in any way you can. You don't have to link to my blog or anything, this isn't some kind of scheme to get my blog out there, I just sincerely want the word out. I see so many ladies using products from companies that test on animals and to be honest, Ive bought from those companies before I knew too but if I had known sooner, they would have never got a dime from me. Please, I beg of you, pass this on.

Instead of listing the brands that you should buy, I listed the brands you SHOULD NOT buy. Keep in mind, there are more brands than this that do animal cruelty so one minute of research before your next purchase shouldn't hurt. I know this list is daunting, so just think about the brands you use the most and see if its on here or not. Also, to find the list yourself please go to:

Urban Decay De Slick Setting Spray

I would choose dry skin over oily/combo skin any day but unfortunately I have the latter. Its so hard to find makeup and skin products that combat oiliness. This product however, is THE BEST in my arsenal. Any girl who has oily skin knows that there will never be a miracle product that keeps the oil away for more than 6 hours at most but this comes pretty darn close. My foundation stays on and I don't get nearly as shiny as I would after a couple hours out. This stuff really lasts.

Directions: I spray it twice over my face focusing on my T-zone before I put foundation and twice more after. I make sure its at least 5-8 inches away

PROS:
- No over-powering scent
- Keeps shine at bay
- Incredibly long lasting
- This really lives up to its promises
- Animal Cruelty Free!!!
- Temperature controlled

CONS:
- The only con is that it is pricey at $29.00 but worth every penny!
