Sephora

Almost every single time I go to this sephora I have a horrible experience (too many to count). I only go every now and then to pick up necessities since it’s closest to me. But what took me to write this review is the lack of information and unprofessionalism that they employees have.
I swung by to buy a primer, however, I’m vegan and an animal rights activist so I only use cosmetics which have not been tested on animals internationally (you’ll see later why I say internationally). So I ask an employee if there’s another primer I could use than the one I currently have because it’s a bit pricey. She took me to the Benefit poreless primer. And I asked her «are they cruelty free?» And she replies «everything here is cruelty free» which is completely false. I tell her «uhm. Not really but it’s okay» and she continued to go on how «she’s the employee and speaking behalf on the company» and blah blah blah giving me attitude.
I wish this sephora would actually EDUCATE their employees. Because Sephora as a company is not cruelty free. Why? Even though they are cruelty free in the US, they sell in china. China has a law that ALL cosmetics must be tested on animals. Thus still contributing to animal testing. Unlike, for example, Urban Decay who had the opportunity to sell in China but it went against their morals and declined. THAT IS CRUELTY FREE. Any company that sells in china is not cruelty free. another thing, is 3^rd parent testing. Where the company itself doesn’t test on animals but their parent company does; example, the body shop recently sold out to loreal (who tests on animals). The profit that company gains still contributes to animal testing. Making it not cruelty free. Another example of 3^rd parent testing, Nars. Half of the companies in Sephora (including sephora) are not cruelty free. Yet the employee was giving me attitude how I was wrong and she was super right and EVERYTHING in the store is cruelty free. In the end, benefit sells in China and I’d rather not give my money to a company with no morals. I hope the employee sees this and doesn’t continue to give people false information.
