True Blood's Pam Advocates for Cruelty-Free Cosmetics
Kristin Bauer Van Straten might be all fangs and attitude on hit show True Blood, but she has a major soft spot for animals. The on-screen vampire (that’s Pam, for those of you who’ve spent the past few years hiding under a rock) told Racked reporters that the first question she was asked about the upcoming HSN x HBO Forsaken Beauty Collection Inspired by True Blood was “Is there animal testing?” (The answer to that very good question, by the way, is a hearty no.)
The line, which will debut on HSN on August 9th, will include sultry nail polish shades from Deborah Lippmann inspired by the show’s leading ladies. But what I’m dying to sink my lips into is a blackberry gloss aptly named ‘Bite Me.’ A fragrance, body cream, and scents for the home will also be sold, sans any animal suffering.
It looks like I’ve found the perfect fall makeup picks to stock up on! Now, if only sexy vampires came along with this stash…
I've posted steps before on how to remove blackheads and go about it without scarring.

and i have absolutely zero patience for people who are against animal testing for medical research.
not against medical testing
Amen, bb. Agreed 100%!
But I just ordered a MAC product (a lipstick) for the first time and I just found out that they most likely test. ;_;
I wonder if anyone is working on technologies that would allow us to using non-living creatures for the effects of makeup on skin. Probably not, stem cell research has other focuses lol.
and when you need something thats self-lubricating like an eyeball but isnt an actual real-life eyeball- good luck
and i dont know about you - but i dont really want to be using untested chemicals and dyes on sensitive parts like my face or around my eyes.
it's also making me think about the fact that my skin product rn might be tested on animals. for years I only bought lush/the body shop and stopped thinking about this when shopping. :X
"crueltyfreeqts" and they showcase/research all different cosmetics that don't test on animals, etc.
Here's some videos
that dark red/purple one is calling me
also lbr the lotions and perfume will probably smell awful
How long did your skin freak out, and with what products? Skin does freak when you change your regime, it has to get use to the new changes and how those products remove oil and treat the skin.
I want to try the new Lush cosmetics, too.
ooo TB nail polish. I've been wanting a blood color.
