What's That Smell? — this vegan life
Dated 2014, a part of me wanted to take that as fact and buy 20 bottles. But the new me tries a bit harder. Revlon, I found out, sell in China. And for unfathomable reasons, China INSISTS BY LAW that ALL products are tested on animals. WT fuck, China.I filled out the contact form on the Mitchum UK website to ask of their vegan credentials, because I think even if you can find out by Googling that a company ain’t vegan friendly, you should still ask them directly just so that they know they’re losing customers. I like to imagine the admin guy printing my email off and taking it up to head office, where he knocks wearily on the door of the Big Man. ‘We’ve got another one, Clive,’ he says. A tally of vegan customers demanding better goes up by one on a counter on the wall. ‘Jeez,’ says Clive. ‘We better make this product vegan, the people have spoken.’They didn’t reply. So I sent another message, because I’m fun like that.
Meanwhile, it’s time to find another deodorant. I bought these hopeful beauties from Holland & Barrett. After some trials one deodorant will be declared winner. Who knew I could make even picking a deodorant into a competition!
