Honestly, Fleur could focus on about anything and I'd investigate ALL her faves and recommendations. I am already purchasing products out of my comfort zone, aka more expensive products, but higher quality. Thanks guys! Love the videos Fleur. Hope to get to one of your meet-ups some day! I'm a Chicagoan ... and you've hit some great spots in town. In fact, you've made recommendations to me (whereas I have lived here for a l o n g time)! Good job!

MandyYDG same! I feel like KZfaq opened my eyes to so many new brands, but recently I've been gravitating back to some of my favourite mac products. It's like going home! 🤣 who else is talking about mac lately? x

Laura Costigan I don't know of if you've heard of RachhLoves (I adore her) but just yesterday she posted a $100 at MAC video. Tati and DramaticMAC have also mentioned them within the past few weeks, I believe as well. I've just been seeing them around a lot more. Bad for my wallet but so good for my collection.

MandyYDG Thanks! I've not heard of RachhLoves or DramaticMAC so I'll check them out. Perfect timing, in at home ill and already caught up on my subscriptions. 💸💸💸

Louise Lowe why can't someone make a video about mac without a comment like this

Avni Patel Because it's an important issue which is largely ignored by influencers because the vast majority of cosmetics companies do still test on animals. KZfaqrs and bloggers are reliant on these companies for sponsorship or being sent free gifts that they can use as content for their channel, so they won't say a word against them. Additionally, talking about the horrible reality of animal testing doesn't fit with the clean cut, perfect life image that beauty vloggers like to portray. An animal shouldn't have to suffer for us to wear lipstick.

Eilidh Ronald they know Mac tests on animals, there's no need to keep on commenting. You're just wasting your time

MissMollie they may know, but people reading the comments may not, spreading awareness is important

they test only in China because it's required by law there

yarrr I loveeee LUSH

yeah I would love to see the bad products too!

Yeah, it's great to get recommendations on what to buy, but it's also awsome to not end up buying products that are no good!

+Marie Sophie Yay! Glad you like this series Marie! Thanks for watching! Xo

Loved the video Fleur!💕

+Gianna Christine Me! Yay thanks Gianna! Xo

+Gianna Christine Me! Yay thanks Gianna! Xo

she didn't buy any of this, it was given to her for free, which makes it all even more icky.

Lala xxx I totally agree. Especially when she has pets herself, she must know how horrible it is to see an animal in any discomfort, and yet she's openly promoting a brand that condone hurting animals.

You don't know that she's received these things for free. I doubt it because brands usually only gift new launches, and she spoke about a lot of classics here. She's also made a lot of MAC videos in her early channel days.

if you watch one of her canada vlogs from a few weeks ago (i think it was canada) she gets literally an ENTIRE SUITCASE of products from mac. so yes, i do know that she received them for free. it was a disgusting amount of makeup.

Lala xxx I would be really interested to know how many of the people making animal cruelty comments don't eat meat, wear leather or even use completely cruelty free make up themselves!!

AGREE!!!!!

electrictwilight agree there are youtubers out there already that only use makeup that isn't tested on animals

electrictwilight actually it really annoys me when people bitch about cruelty free. Too faced is supposedly cruelty free but its owned by Estee lauder who are not. your money goes to too faced and estee lauder. add in the fact that some of these massive companies come out with similar formulas to the cruelty free brands that they own. so perhaps it's possible that the none cruelty free formula was created first but not released until the cruelty free one did. That means a similar formula would have been tested on animals and brands like too faced can release theirs without that specific formula have been tested on animals. Every ingredient individually has been tested on animals at some point in history and anything new will be tested on animals while companies like estee lauder and loreal continue testing on animals. Add in that people dont really think about humans in this either. Mica used in eyeshadows etc is carcinogenic if inhaled now if it was being make in the EU or the US we would have much more stringent health and safety criteria than china. But as most are made in china with different regulations to the EU or US we dont know if the product is being handled safely. also in we dont know what it took to get mica in the first place. cruelty free is great but its near impossible to find truely cruelty free.

Yes! It's like the angry vegan brigade on food videos (I would suspect there is some crossover, actually).

electrictwilight it is so annoying, I agree! I know plenty of people who give me shit for using Mac & then I see them use Estée Lauder or Chanel - which are not cruelty-free whatsoever.

+Pippa Princess Really glad you enjoyed the video Pippa! What other brands are you keen to see in this series? Xo

Fleur DeForce I'd love to see ysl, too faced , Dior , bare minerals etc Xo

Fleur DeForce love this 'best of' but like others I think the worse/or things you wouldn't recommend in a brand would be good. I'm interested in how Bobbi brown compares - heard lots about her eye concealersz also would love to hear the best of Nars and Charlotte Tilbury and hourglass. Love your videos x

Fleur DeForce Faux lipstick with Soar lipliner is my go to lip look.

I wold really like to see the least favourites as well from MAC... ;)

Fleur DeForce I love retro matte high heels and velvet teddy. I also really love their studio fix foundation like I only need a little bit to make my skin glow and look clear

Love the video, can you do worsts next time too

Fleur DeForce M.A.C Plumful. I wore it on my wedding day 😊

Rebekah White definitely would love to see benefit, tarte, too faced,

+FoodishBeauty Yay me too! Xo

Gillian Arnold What a fun present.

+Gillian Arnold Yay! Happy Birthday, have fun shopping! Xo

Fleur DeForce thank you 💕

+Lorna Whitney Thanks Lorna, this was such a lovely comment to read :) xo

+Barbara Bates Glad you liked it... which brand shall i focus on next? Xo

Oh gosh new to You Tube...didn't know you replied till now! Dior or Lancome on the High end and maybe Rimmel on the drug store side. Dior is especially a brand I find intimidating. Would love to try but too expensive to make mistakes on purchases! :)

if you can't understand why it matters you're clearly too dense...

Agree, although the video is not sponsored, she recently did a - of course - well-paid collaboration with this brand and is showing us a lot of products she got because of this collaboration as a gift. So I'm not expecting she is unbiased. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Sanne WorkInProgrezz yep it's important that people are informed consumers and know who their money is going to. Sadly most people don't bother to understand.

+little8p They are so good! Congrats on your wedding, have a fab day! Xo

Totally makes sense! Fab idea! xo

Yeah that makes sense. Their website also looks pretty great but I would love to see a detailed review on their products.

+Mary Kay Wallace Thanks Mary! Glad you enjoyed it.. I'm with you on the lipsticks! Xo

Ania Comerford Same, I think it's mostly because they don't test on the products we use here, but the ones sold in China are. as far as collaborating with them, I wouldn't before they are cruelty free.

Lotte G. They don't test on the products here but the ingredients might be tested at the countries they're coming from.

Lotte G. Yes, they only test in China, where it is required by law. However, they do still pay to have their product tested on animals, the same products that are sold in the UK, USA, worldwide. Let's use an analogy; if someone were to murder someone in China, would they be known as a murderer in the U.K., or would the crime be disregarded because it didn't happen here?

i would not call her an animal lover, i think she views piglet as an accessory more than anything. if she loved her animals so much why don't we see her as often with her cats and other dogs? not to mention always letting them run away off-leash. she still eats meat and buys leather, so why would she care about animal testing? people would rather turn a blind eye than acknowledge the cruelty of the industry tbh.

so you missed the multiple vlogs of her letting her dogs run away? it's irresponsible, no way would i walk my dog off leash again if they ran away once, let alone a good handful of times.

See, now that's the point I don't get. When a human life is on the line, suddenly it's okay for animals to take the back seat. Because in the end our lives still matter more, right? What about taking a pain killer for a headache or hangover? Or a spray for a sore throat? Those are in no way necessary to survive but I bet you 99% of keyboard warriors use those just as easily. My point is, don't criticise others if, when push comes to shove, you (and I mean that in a general way) are just as hypocritical and self-centered as everyone else

On that we agree :-) I also think that everyone should decide for himself what he's willing to do and what is attainable. And educating people on other ways of life is a good thing! It's just all the attacking when someone lives differently than you do that I don't agree with, hence my first post. In my opinion, people should try to better themselves first, instead of bullying others into living the life they decided is best

Aever88 Agree!

The difference is that makeup doesn't NEED to be tested on animals anymore, there are many synthetic alternatives. But medication does.

No, it doesn't. They choose to test on animals because the latter can"t complain about the possible complications. Which is why scientists only start with human testing once the product is deemed "safe". That ties in to my earlier comment saying human lives are seen as more valuable than animals'. The only reason animals "need" to be used for anything, is because humans feel so stupidly superior and self-rightous

I've never felt the need to buy a Mac product and I hate the fact that brands test on animals. its wrong

makeup guru you still use mac products though!

+Megan Jarvie Thanks for watching Megan, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Happy Birthday for April! Xo

Enjoy your new lipsticks! Thanks for watching! xo

+gghc Really glad you enjoyed it! Which brand shall i do next? Xo

Fleur DeForce thanks for replying...and asking! 💗 For what it is worth, lately I'm growing more curious about Charlotte Tilbury, Giorgio Armani and/or Christian Louboutin...especially the Velvet Matte Lip Color, is it really worth spending a small fortune? 💄 I mean, you could feed a family of three and their cat for the same amount! 😁😊♥️

Ps: yes I love this format!

Thanks Laura! What brands would you like to see? xo

I would love to see this kind of video on Chanel, Charlotte Tilbury and also some of your favourite drugstore brands like Rimmel and Collection would be so useful! Xx

Thank you! xo
