My favorite beauty secret is to put the bulk of your investment into leave-ons like vitamin c and moisturizer. They are doing the work. However, never lose sight of the visual satisfaction.
Many of our customers are concerned about our policy regarding animal testing, so I'd be happy to answer your query to the best of my ability. Bliss products (and/or any of the products that are manufactured on behalf of BlissWorld LLC) are only tested on animals of the two legged (two armed, beauty-obsessed, and usually female) variety. We've found enough guinea pigs in the halls of our offices that we would never have the need (or the desire) to hunt out the 'garden variety'. Besides, we feel that the communication skills necessary to give detailed product feedback are not very forthcoming when it comes to dogs, cats, and bunnies. Unfortunately, we are not able to speak on behalf of all of our vendors regarding their animal testing policies (we simply don't know them), however we invite you to contact each company yourself if you have concerns about particular products.
