For those of you looking for vegan beauty products, or maybe those who just want to do your part to help prevent cruel treatment to animals, you can now Look Cute and Help Animals with PETA Lip Balm. These beeswax free lip balms cost only $3.00 a piece (or all 5 for $12.00) and the purchase of each one will help out our furry friends. Flavors for these lip balms are Go Faux’-Fabulous (Fruit Smoothie), Animals Out of the Act (Tangerine), Viva Las Vegans (Vanilla Bean), Cut Out Animal Experi-mints (Peppermint), and PETA Compassion (Fruit). You can pick up these vegan lip balms here.

Now, I realize that there is a lot of confusion about what PETA actually stands for and what acts it actually condones. A lot of people assume that those animal rights extremists that are out there setting fires to farms, breaking into labs, dumping paint on people wearing fur, etc. are related to PETA. Well, guess what? They’re not! PETA does not condone those actions. In their own words, “PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.” They are about educating consumers about their products, going through legal means to get companies who do harm animals into trouble, and peaceful & educational protests of various companies. Any of those extremists are acting on their own, without the support of or any connection to PETA. To learn more about the truth behind PETA, please visit their website PETA.org.
