Hello Beauty Lovers, An Instagram influencer contacted all the cosmetic companies regarding choice

and made a post with all the pro choice options.

If you are an instagram user, please support her, i guess she lost quite a number of followers after she publicly posted.

anyway, the list is at --

(Also, Beauty Pie and Charlotte Tillbury are not pro-choice, and after making millions on the backs of women, they can both just fuck right off)

Is everyone in the company contacted? Who did she talk to there? Do they put out pro or anti choice opinions when buying their products?
I'm old so I don't have a clue about Beauty Pie or Charlotte Tillbury. better question is the standards behind making these products and their purity on the skin. Fine out what ingredients are used and if they are harmful or drying to the skin or will they give you skin cancer in the future.

but beauty product are a billion dollar industry, and many women would like to know about the company they choose to give their money to. The person making the Instagram post explained her methodology, but in short, it is the public statement a company makes regarding this issue.

(Charlotte Tillbury and Beauty Pie are huge in the industry, but relatively new companies, so if you have granddaughters, ask them)

companies.


I don't know about choice, but Lauder gets a very high rating overall on Progressive Shopper. If research revealed that Lauder as a whole is pro choice, that adds about 20 brands in all price ranges.

Ulta Cosmetics also gets a high rating. I shop there and get my hair cut there for that reason.


Sephora sells a large number of brands. Is the research confined only to products which carry the Sephora brand (kind of like house brands?)

i just found this list while being bored and surfing at work. I was disappointed to learn that she lost followers because of her strong pro choice actions and views. I try, but I really do have a problem with women that do not support other women.

I've never heard of progressive shopper but i'll google. It sounds like a site i would use and enjoy.

(On edit), WOWSA just checked the site, and ULTA for the win!! Ulta is my Achilles heel. lol

I looked at her instagram account. she promotes makeup and as an "influencer" companies pay her to advertise their products.

like I said it's a good cause but I am not going to "follow" her.
