Tarte Lights Camera Splashes (and the non-waterproof version Lashes) are my FAVORITE mascaras. I used to use a NYX lipgloss I believe was similar to Clinique Raspberry but I’m not sure if they still make it.

Hi Jackie – Benefit is NOT cruelty free. That’s why we’re giving you dupes so you can avoid it. 🙂

“Benefit does not test our cosmetic products on animals and we require our raw material suppliers to provide safety information based on scientifically accepted alternative testing methods. It is nearly impossible for any cosmetic company to certify that all new and existing ingredients incorporated into products have never been tested on animals as part of the safety research and certification process. Benefit selects high quality raw materials with well-established safety records and uses an extensive ingredient database. Benefit is committed to maintaining the highest standards of human safety while eliminating the need for testing on animals.”

To me it seems like they’re sort of side stepping around the issue they do claim to make attempts at using alternative testing methods.
