*sigh* That's "Am I relegated to ordering online." Note to self: Don't try posting before having coffee.

Hi Lynne- all the 'health food stores' around here carry some of my favorite stuff, like Kiss My Face and Jason and Dr. Bronners(they have all kinds of goodies now, not just soap). Do you have a coop near you? A Whole Foods? Trader Joe's (their stuff is generic but they label their vegan shampoos)? Some MAC is vegan, but not all of it: you have to call their Customer Service and they'll send you a list. I like *some* of Beauty Without Cruelty's stuff, which most department stores carry... Zuzu Luxe and Urban Decay are all vegan and I've seen them around lots of places. Does that help? Good luck, I'm slooooowly replacing my stuff, too- got some tips from the vegan salon down the street!

The Body Shop, not to be confused with Bath and Body Works. :-)

Arbonne International - 100% cruelty free & vegan cosmetics and skin care.

(note - the brushes are not vegan - which is why PETA has only certified the company as cruelty free)

I am a consultant, so feel free to ask any questions!

Urban Decay is my favorite makeup line! They have a lot of vegan products and funky colors, perfect for us dancers. You can find their products at Sephora or urbandecay.com

I would highly recommend looking at the Urban Decay website as it is very user/veg friendly and their customer service is outstanding!

At the risk of sounding ignorant, what constitutes vegan make-up? How is it different from regular make-up? Are there any prohibited ingredients? Thanks!

Etsy has a nice collection of vegan makeup alchemists ( can I say that?) haha.

I touch roses has great product, as well as pink quartz minerals.

Arbonne, Urban Decay, BArry M cosmetics,

and i found this site, perhaps it would be helpful on a search or asnswering what exactly makes it vegan or not.

This site has a list of animal friendly that are either all animal friendly or they carry animal friendly.

Jane Iredale is very nice and vegan as well....all natural minerals, no preservatives or fillers. Only the brushes would be non-vegan since they use animal hair, though they are completely cruelty free. Also, because of the zinc and titanium, they have natural SPF. I wear it and never get burnt in the sun. They also have a body bronzer/SPF that's really cool! Comes in the crushed mineral form and is very easy to apply and doesn't rub off.
Good luck in your quest!

Why don't you take a look at Dr. Hauschka's stuff. I love their cleansers and creams (my black heads are finally gone). And I love their foundation. I have to admit that I did not try the make-up yet, I'm still using my old stuff. You'll find Dr. Hauschka at the Whole Foods Market.

ohhhhh my absolute favorite body products lately are LUSH!
