Now that Tarte Cosmetics is no longer a cruelty free company, many former Tarte cosmetic users are jumping to Too Faced vegetarian and cruelty-free cosmetics. Too Faced was founded by husbands Jerrod Blandino and Jeremy Johnson, 15 years ago. Both men got their start in the cosmetic and fashion industry, before coming together to create Too Faced, so named for Jerrod’s pet name for the women who would go from sweet to stressed whenever he was out of their favorite makeup product.

Animal Testing and What are Animal Rights?

Animal testing can be used for everything from drugs to food products to makeup. It is estimated that worldwide anywhere between 50-100 million animals or vertebrates are used each year in experiments and testing.

Our Babies

Blanca & Blanquita

Blanca was rescued in 2007, along with 16 other goats when the county seized the survivors of an abused and neglected herd. When the county stepped in, the 17 survivors were surrounded by many more goats who had already died.

Blanca passed away on January 6th of 2014. We are very sad, but try to think about the fact that she had 6 1/2 years of love, and we hope that helped to offset the year or so of unnamed horrors that she suffered before coming to us.

Jack

Blanca was pregnant with Blanquita when we adopted her. Unfortunately, Blanquita passed away when she was two years old. We adopted Jack as a companion for Blanca at that time. Jack was rescued because the people who ran the farm where Jack was born did not want him to end up as somebody's dinner, a fate that often befalls unwanted male goats. Since Blanca's passing, Jack is now boarded at a wonderful farm animal rescue in Ft. Collins, run by a vegan couple, where he has many goat and sheep friends. During the coldest days in Colorado, the goats always wore their coats, and Jack still wears his proudly. The goats often tweeted from their Twitter account at @GoatsInCoats, and Jack still carries on that tradition.
