Hi again, I'm full of questions ! So I've been using Mary Kay for two years now, I'm pretty sure they're animal friendly but not sure about what kind of ingredients are used in it. Anyway it seems to be the only stuff that cleared up my acne. I was wondering if there was any products anyone could recommend that are good for oily skin without over drying. I'm in Canada and I'm not a huge fan of shopping online but I will if it's a must have. :) Oh yeah I forgot to mention I'm looking for something not too expensive..Mary Kay is a lot of $$$ looking to get away from that. Thanks.
Devita may be a good choice. They are all natural and all vegan. I just started using their moisturizer with sunscreen which is the best I've ever found. It's the only sunscreen I've tried that isn't greasy or drying. I'm hoping to try more of their products. They're not the cheapest, but not horrible either. Most of their products seem to be in the $15-30 range.

I used to love Aveda, although they got rid of most of my favorite products recently :( They do use honey and beeswax in a few products, so you'll have to check the labels to make sure what you're buying is completely animal free. Their skin care lines are AWESOME though (and their animal free make up brushes are soooo soft).

Origins makes some great products too. You would have to double check, but I think they're 100% vegan. I'm allergic to citrus (which is in most of their products), but I really love their liquid crystal cleanser. It's very gentle. I'm not sure if they still carry it though.

hi! not sure what you are looking for - just vegan stuff or vegan and free of horrible chemicals? if chem-free is the goal, look at John Masters stuff - really clean, organic, no evil chemicals and vegan - no make up but skin/hair care.
