Safe Brands to Purchase From (Pt. 1: Indie Brands)

For my own use, and anyone who wishes to take part. Part 2 here.

edit: Here is an even better list!



I have compiled this list based on what I currently know. Of course, my research isn't quite as infallible as my charm. If I am wrong about any of these--if they are, in fact, associated with Woefully Wiley Wankers--please to inform. Molto grazie.

Regarding this boycott, I considered purging my current W.W.W.-owned items, for a sec. But tis more sensible to use em up, and refrain from purchasing anything from them in future.

These are some quality/dependable independent cosmetic brands, along with some items that they are especially known for.
There is a veritable online treasury of reviews/swatches/information, so I have only random reviews linked, that you can peruse for each brand, as you won't be able to swatch them in a shop.

Generally a good resource for overview and pictures of products from most indie brands, is Phyrra.net.

Advantages of choosing these, over mainstream brands:
Many of these brands specialize in unique duochromes/colour shifting products, which are hard to find in mainstream brands. Usually their cosmetics are more pigmented and concentrated, it is better value for money as it takes ages to use up.
Another advantage is that customer service is more personable. 
Many of these brands also work to keep their products vegan or cruelty-free, or free of known allergens/irritants/parabens. Some even send free products with each order.
And of course, you're not supporting a bloodthirsty regime and its lovely Zionist agenda :)

As I write this, 4 Palestinian children just died. They were targeted and shot down by Israeli state-of-the-art missile technology. First one shell hit, missed, and they ran. The next one got them.

According to bystanders 'it looked like the shells were chasing them'. They were playing football on the beach when it happened. Ismael, Mohamed, Zakaria, and Ahed Baker. Ages 9-11. Bodies strewn on the beach. One of them looked just like Perfection Personified when asleep (on his stomach, a mop of curly hair), except that this kid's limbs were mangled, and the sand around him was covered in blood. CNN and FOX news may not report it, may call them 'human shields' like they have every other Palestinian fatality...these kids were playing on an otherwise empty beach.
I refuse to post pictures of slain people here, but it just solidifies my resolve to distance myself as much as I know/can from Zionist corporations. Video in case you don't mind crying your eyes out.

nb: the first response Zionist hides behind when it comes to boycotts, is the anti-semitism card. (as my previous posts will show, i am not anti-Jew). 2nd is denial and deflection and justification of I's war crimes. (they were killing Palestinians long before Hamas, fyi). Have you ever read about what rapists say to justify themselves? It is a very similar surreal experience.
3rd is to say it will make no difference. i say it WILL make a difference if enough people are informed of the Zionist/genocide connection, and informed of alternatives.
