Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 I have cosmetics and toiletries which are not vegan friendly and some have definitely been tested on animals - ie. Clinique, Lancome etc. Now that I am a vegan I have been purchasing cruelty-free stuff, but I was wondering should I throw out the things that I already have, even if the bottles are full, or should I use them up? I'd like some help on this one as I bagged up all the things yesterday that I won't be buying again, but now I don't know what to do with them! Thanks. Jane (a new vegan!)

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 I guess in the end it's up to you, but what I would do is see if any of my friends wanted the bottles of stuff that were almost full. I was vegetarian first so I didn't have anything that had actually been tested, but I had a few things with beeswax and to be honest I just finished them up - I mean, you're not going to be helping animals by chucking this stuff out, and no-one will know with something like cosmetics - if it was a fur coat or something then that's look bad. I know that sounds a bit weird, but there's so much waste in this world already and as you've already bought the stuff I would take the pragmatic approach. >...should I throw out the things that I already have, even if the bottles >are full, or should I use them up?

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 If I found an animal that had lived in the wild and died of natural causes I would eat it (if it looked appealing). On cosmetics - Now the animals have suffered -at least make sure its life was 'useful'.

Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 I'd use them because you made the sale so the "harm "has been done.You could take them to a charity shop if unused it might delay someone buying it as it will be cheaper .Peoples opinions will vary Angie - Jane Cuming vegan-network Sunday, April 29, 2001 10:15 AM Cosmetics/Toiletries I have cosmetics and toiletries which are not vegan friendly and some have definitely been tested on animals - ie.
