Past Reviews...Missha (NOT cruelty free) The Style 3D Mascara- 2 stars

MISSHA TESTS EITHER THEIR PRODUCTS OR INGREDIENTS ON ANIMALS AND THEY SELL IN CHINA:
AS SUCH I CANNOT RECOMMEND THEM. Not that their cosmetics are that great anyways...


I needed a mascara and I got this one for $4 (retail $8.99).


Brand: Missha
Line: The Style (3D)
Make-up Type: Mascara
Origin: South Korea
Tested on Animals: They claim that they do NOT, but they refuse to comply with KARA to prove that they do not. Despite that, they sell in China at a time where testing is mandatory. As such, I will NOT recommend them or buy anything from them in the future.


REVIEW:Packaging: No box-plain black stick -same as all of the other The Style line items. Aims for classic, but ends up being boring. 3/5
Scent: non-offensive 4/5
Color: black
Texture: feels a little waxy 2/5
Ease of Use: standard
Effect: Not great; separates lashes but still gives them that clumpy 'spider legs" look. Later in the day they feel waxy and crumbly to the touch. I was pulling pieces off. 1/5

The verdict: Not worth $8.99 IMHO, a basic mascara....not terrible but not great...

The claim:
A protective layer is formed on each lash, making your eyelashes look full and voluminous. mmm...not so much...
(available in 3D & 4D)

Cosmetics, Skincare and Animal Testing Lies...

Cosmetics, Skincare & Animal Testing Lies... This is kind of a long time coming...but it can be SO hard to find out if Korean cosmetic brands are tested on animals because of the language barrier... There are several sits dedicated to informing you of American and European brands that test on animals...here are some links... LEAPING BUNNY  free cruelty free guide BUAV (ENGLAND)  BUAV's actual list is online and FREE...  Cruelty Free   American Anti-Vivisection Society   Nature Watch (UK) Uncaged (UK)  They require payment for their cruelty free guide and they get it from Nature Watch... KARA Korea  KARA I am NOT including PETA because I do NOT support their  deceptive practices. The woman who runs PETA believes pitbulls should be exterminated from the planet and she supports BSL (bred specific legislation that results in family dogs being snatched from their homes and killed), all feral cats should be killed,believes no animal...

STILA now tests on animals...and PETA couldn't care less.

Further proving that one cannot even trust two-faced PETA's list, cosmetics company Stila admits to testing on animals on their website and on "Twitter", yet remains on their cruelty-free list. Does anyone remember when Too-Faced and Urban Decay decided to sell in China and thus test on animals and PETA attacked them and UD reversed their decision? It was in all of that that Hard Candy was also accused of this and they became angry and went to their FB page to clear it all up? And then UD got an award from PETA for deciding NOT to do something terrible? I know we can't expect much from an organization that has a spokeswoman (Ellen) who is the face of a cosmetics company that is notorious for testing on animals, but if they are going to put out a list and attack companies that start testing, they should at least be accurate. I sent them a polite e-mail saying there was an error in their list with the correct info and a link... and got the auto-reply that they promise...
