Hello beauties! I've decided that once I run out of all of my current products I'm going cruelty free with all of my cosmetics! I'm very excited to switch, but one things I'm having a particular problem with is finding a new BB/ CC cream. I don't want a high-end product because my skin color changes so drastically that I'm not willing to drop thirty dollars on a product that won't match me in a few weeks. Currently I'm looking into some Physicians Formula BB/CC creams, and I will probably be looking into the Glamouflage concealer by hard candy for blemishes and under eyes, but other than that I am kind of in needing of recommendations. Opinions on the Physicians Formula BB/CC creams would be appreciated, and additionally if anybody has tried any BB/CC creams from the following brands I would love feedback as well!
1. Milani
2. NYX
3. Sonia Kashuk
4. Wet n' Wild
5. Flower (the Drew Barrymore line)
(FYI I have extremely oily skin and large pore, so those are the key things I consider when choosing face products)
Thanks in advance beauties!

I don't have any recommendations because I don't use bb cream, and a majority of my stuff is high end, but I think NYX is no longer cruelty free because they got bought by a company (Loreal, I believe) that tests on animals.

Milani and Flower are both great! I particularly like milani's eye-shadow primer and lipsticks both are super long lasting, don't budge, and the lipsticks smell good. I've tried Flower's foundations, tinted moisturizer, eye shadows, face primer, blushes, highlighter, mascara, and brushes. I've been pleased with all of them. Flower has a bb cream that I haven't tried yet but I've heard it has a higher coverage than the average bb cream.

I use the wet and wild matte bb cream stuff ( I got it for like $2.79 ant target) and I actually prefer it over my garnier bb cream that was like $13. it gives me a better coverage and it doesn't make me oily or orange like the garnier one can. some times I mix the two together to get a fuller coverage bur I like the wet n wild one.

Thanks Justine! That's very good to know, I didn't think I would get any feedback about the wet'n'wild in particular so thanks!

Oh for anybody who is reading according to crueltyfreekitty.com NYX remains cruelty free despite the L'oreal acquisition! But who knows.

Madison nyx is still cruelty free yes, but by buying the products the money indirectly goes to Loreal, which tests on animals. It's up to you whether you want to go that far in how cruelty free you go. I avoid companies that directly test on animals but most companies are owned by companies that do. Like sephora. A lot of the lines at sephora are cruelty free, but since sephora ships to China where it's mandatory to test on animals, its indirectly not cruelty free. If that makes sense. Like kvd is cruelty free, and doesn't ship to China, but since it's owned by sephora, the money technically goes to a company that does.
But the flower bb cream is amazing. It's very full coverage, I have dry skin and it looks horrible on me when I don't moisturize like crazy but a lot of people say it's a dupe for the kvd tattoo foundation, and I definitely agree. It's very good for oily skin.
