That's right! The super inexpensive brand that's found in drug stores. They do not test on animals are are mostly vegan. While some of their products are hit or miss, they do have some gems! Including their popular Walking on Eggshells palette which has duped for MAC’s eyeshadows in Shroom, Cork, and Naked Lunch. Their popular MegaLast lipsticks provide a big bang for their 2 bucks. They also have new cruelty-free brushes.
