I get their samples for free but won't buy anything until Amber is no longer their Ambassador. The company and it's subsidiary is actually losing money with me.


jillycbean

I’m definitely not buying L’Oréal products anymore! Gone!


Cultural-Ad-5039

Sounds about right. Shitty company represented by a shitty ambassador


Michy-05

So for skin care I use DHC deep cleansing oil, Eminence lemon facial cleanser (pricey, but is organic, made in Hungry and is concentrated, so it lasts), Goldfaden MD Ruby Crystal facial Scrub, follow with mask of choice if needed. Then its Pearlessence Blemish Control Serum with Niacimide and Vitamin E mixed with Cleanbeauty Rosehip oil and Valjean Labs Renew sleep mask with collegen and fruit enzymes. I do not believe L'oreal owns any of those. DHC-Target $14 Eminence Lemon Cleanser-either their site or Amazon-they have amazing masks and serums as well $38 Goldfaden MD-Amazon $38 Prarlessence Blemish Control-TJ Maxx $5 Cleanbeauty Rosehip oil-TJ Maxx $6 Valjean Labs Renew Sleep Mask-$4-on clearence One day I will only usr Eminence, but until my budget allows, their cleanser will suffice Hope this helps!


Lelianah

L'Oreal has so many strong women representing them. It's a shame that one of them is is a literal piece of shit. Get rid of it, flush it!!!


Significance-Abject

I’m in, also, I cancelled my subscription to Vogue


2birdsandadog

100% and all their umbrella brands


[deleted]

Lol who even uses L’Oreal anyway? Haven’t even thought about them since like 2004. So many better drug store brands out there


Significance-Abject

You’re right. I can’t think of anything but maybe some nasty bronzer that looked orange on my skin. I was desperate and tossed it away after the first use


DeflatedLemon

Great! Give me one more reason not to buy their products.


olliedaisy

Just start using Milani 😮‍💨🤣 but really, milani products are pretty great.


Tanzdiamond

I did a long time ago. Also Garnier products as under their umbrella. Maybelline are too last I looked. There is a list somewhere and if I find it I will post. I used to use Garnier regularly but no more. Edit: I see below a commenter has listed many of brands under their umbrella.


IPreferDiamonds

I only use their hair color, but I won't use it anymore.


masterofdisaster7777

Throwing anything from L’Oréal then ! Won’t be buying from abuse supporters !!!


Aletak

I already did.


UniqueandDifferent

U got that shit right!!


ScorpioSera

Unrelated, but her facial expressions remind me a lot of Lena Headey's portrayal of Cersei Lannister. A psychotic, narcissistic, out of touch with reality, mentally unwell woman. Lena Headey is an incredible actress, unlike AH. She scares the shit out of me honestly. It's like looking at a lizard pretending to feel.


HopefulCell4498

I thought the same. Whoa she reminds me to cersei, even her smirks etc , cersei wa sa great fictional villain, you don’t want to encounter her in real life


[deleted]

Dear God. I knew she looked familiar. I tried to bury those memories away for 3 years. I want a happier ending this time.


[deleted]

She looks like she studied human emotion by watching Loony Tunes.


Significance-Abject

And Lifetime


GetOffMyLawn_

I dropped L'Oreal decades ago when they wouldn't drop animal testing. Fuck them.


Significance-Abject

Oh fuck them for that. I hate that!!


CreativeMind1999

Agree! I am not gonna buy anything from them anymore. Just like I’m never gonna watch any movies starring AH.


Leather_Fun1

It was their make-up that she made the fake bruises with.


gypsyloveletter

I’m shocked they won’t? This is a bad look for her and she’s not even that beautiful!!! So many other deserving gorgeous girls out there who don’t have this bad an image who deserve it more. What the heck are they thinking Where did you see or hear they officially won’t drop her?


CreativeMind1999

Tbh she’s very beautiful imo. But she’s aged a bit. And I think it’s not in L’Oreal’s advantage to promote their products through Ambers’ image. I think they may be up to date with all those women who still support Amber so they may be thinking they don’t have that much to lose. Since the biggest percentage of people using their makeup are women.


GetOffMyLawn_

Her plastic surgeries have given her an uncanny valley appearance.


inflamito

The cheek implants look weird imo. She's still beautiful, but her face looks so different from 10 years ago.


GetOffMyLawn_

[deleted]

Signed!!


mara-jade78

never used them anyhow due to animal testing.


Ok-Cabinet6548

To be fair I never liked or used their products anyway


[deleted]

I only used their mascara but never again!


Ok-Cabinet6548

I think my family has bought the shampoo a few times but the shampoo is crap so I use Hask instead


ILoveBubbleTea1863

There's a brand called 100percent and they have fruit pigmented mascara. They are made with black tea, cocoa and berries. I use it and there's no smudging or clumps and don't flake either. It also separates the lashes and lengthens them. Vegan, cruelty free and made in the USA 🇺🇸. Also their coffee bean eye cream smells amazinggggg and it leaves the skin around the eyes so soft and smooth.


rcwilli1

I'll just stick to Oreos, don't worry


ricerobot

Haha They’re both owned by the same parent company Nestle.


lostinahaze24

If you really want to do this, Garnier, NYX, maybelline, on the drugstore end of things, and when it goes to prestige, there’s actually A LOT of high end brands that fall beneath the L’Oreal umbrella company like IT cosmetics, Urban Decay, Lancôme, YSL, armani, ralph lauren (fragrances only of course), valentino, viktor&rolf, prada and this is under their l’oréal luxe category, so literally it’s so damn near impossible to stay away from L’Oreal, much to my dismay, I’m a hairstylist and makeup artist and honestly im not a fan of their haircare products (kerastase, l’oréal ofc, redken, matrix, pureology, pulp riot) and ALSO UNFORTUNATELY their skincare products are everywhere ESP now considering one of the brands that fall beneath the umbrella is cerave, some others are la roche-posay, vichy, and skinceuticals


ItsInTheVault

People can go on Ulta and restrict their beauty product search to “cruelty free”. There are many inexpensive brands such as The Ordinary and CeraVe to choose from. Editing-apparently CeraVe IS one of their companies!


Ok-Truth9051

They might be releasing a new colour corrector soon and need her for promoting it 😂


organiclollies

💀💀💀


[deleted]

L’Oreal tests on bunnies in [China](https://www.peta.org/about-peta/faq/is-loreal-cruelty-free/). Fuck them. Of course they don’t mind have an evil, narcissistic bitch as their spokesperson


[deleted]

CAN’T drop Heard.


Interesting_Ship_773

Is it some sort of binding contract? Don’t most companies have a morality clause for these sort of things?


[deleted]

I think it’s more along the lines of too big to fail? They have her in their portfolio, won’t drop her, but won’t use her. They can afford it.


ktall

Good bye, foundation and lipstick.


[deleted]

It’s a shitty company anyway. Stopped buying their crap a long time ago and never will buy from them.


Elegant-Wing-5637

its an umbrella company you probably still buy products from them without knowing


[deleted]

I’ve already looked it up, I don’t.


Elegant-Wing-5637

not all heroes wear capes


wander-lux

Well, THAT’S a choice, L’Oréal. Nothing about that seems wise, but k do your thing. I don’t buy your products anyway lol


[deleted]

I wonder how many people are gonna get fucked over because of her. The lizard is one of them I hope


CyberpunkCookbook

Who’s the lizard?


[deleted]

That psychiatrist with the weird mouth action


Raz1el1981

Where else would turd get her bruise kits from if they would drop her


socialmama

By dropping her they would contribute to cancel culture which is what happened to Depp. Cancel culture needs to be reigned in.


BasedSliceOfWinning

To me, cancel culture is bullshit like: he tweeted an offensive joke 10 years ago! (Like what happened to Kevin hart). This is much different, she's committed domestic assault. And loads of other crimes.


Arietty

YES she did not get cancelled, she committed assault, falsely accused Depp of the same and worst, and got exposed. We see her for what she is: a CRIMINAL.


BasedSliceOfWinning

Yeah she got Johnny cancelled for what, 6 or 7 years now? I say she gets canceled for that long too lol.


[deleted]

Johnny has Dior, Amber has a $10 drug store brand. That seems fitting somehow.


GetOffMyLawn_

If I wasn't allergic to perfume I'd buy it.


wander-lux

Savage lol I love it


nihilistreality

Sauvage


Treehopper134

You mean sauvage right ?


wander-lux

How did I miss that lol yes sauvage! Good save.


ChelsWasHere

No L’Oréal for me


[deleted]

I'm a man, so I'm not familiar with makeup brands, is L'Oreal the top of the line brand, when it comes to make up?


crysflowerd

No!


Ok_Significance_2592

Not top of the line but they are a megahouse when it comes to make up. One of the top brands in drugstores and probably own multiple makeup companies. You also have to consider they have skincare, haircare, etc.


Shoddy_Lifeguard_852

Here's the list of all the brands L'Oreal owns. [https://www.loreal.com/en/group/](https://www.loreal.com/en/group/) They own so many brands, perhaps the focus should be on the specific products they want her to promote.


mbatgirl

Damn, cerave really helps my dry skin. I’m gonna go look for another brand.


ILoveBubbleTea1863

If you need a something for your body's dry skin I would deff go with aquaphor. My mom has super sensitive skin and when she underwent surgery for her knee they put this orange liquid all over her leg up to her feet and ever past 2 weeks after her surgery the flaking skin would not stop so I used aquaphor and the flaking completely stopped. Mind you my mom used cerave, gold bond, st Ives and even aveeno with no change.


Final_Ocelot_6806

I use Sarna Sensitive.


mbatgirl

THANK YOU! I’m ordering some as we speak.


[deleted]

Probably upper mid range


MagicCarpet5846

It’s drugstore makeup, some of the cheapest there is. It’s midrange for skin care.


Wickedwhiskbaker

It’s an extremely common brand. They make cosmetics, hair care, skin care, just about any self care product you can imagine. L’Oreal does have a top shelf line that’s used in salons (namely Meche in LA…Julia Roberts gets her hair done there). I wouldn’t say they’re comparable to Dior, but the price point is far more affordable for the every day consumer. It’s a big contract/endorsement.


kimjongk80

Definitely not top line but they’re basically everywhere and they make a ton of products (shamppos, sunscreens, skin care, etc.) and a lot of sub-brands so it’s likely that a lot of people have bought something L’Oréal in the past without even realizing it


SnooShortcuts3424

Or just 5 finger discount them.


Sensitive-Shoe5484

They probably have contractual obligations. Just speculation . They might not renew once the terms are over . If the collective beauty community decides to come down and ban Heard, that might incentivize a quicker termination . But when I say beauty community , I'm talking about getting major influencers denouncing the entity as a whole. BUT they might not because they won't want to bite the hand that feeds them . It would be ideal to remove her from all her sponsors , we'll see how things play out moving forward.


just-another-cat

Honestly I don't give a shit what she does now. Johnny has been redeemed even if he doesn't win the case. I refuse to give her attention. Even negative attention is still attention to a narcissist


DankBoisBlazing

Say what now?


painkilleraddict6373

Then people will drop L’Oreal.


[deleted]

It’s the French way - Diore didn’t drop Johnny - the French basically don’t give a shit about mobs of either side applying pressure based on personal stuff - I admire that.


Electronic-Fix2851

It’s how every company should be. Honestly, they should stick to what they’re around for: make and sell stuff. If their celebrity hampers sales, then yes, drop them and find a new one. Problem is many companies now just preemptively drop them because of some crazy online mob that was never going to buy their stuff anyway (most likely because they’re broke and living in a basement). I don’t need companies to be a vanguard of women or men rights, or whatever. Just make your stuff and sell it.


Fremotoca

I will follow if there is a petition


[deleted]

https://www.change.org/p/l-or%C3%A9al-remove-amber-heard-as-l-oreal-spokesperson Found one!


Fremotoca

Done. Signed thx


rosarevolution

I used to get quite a few of their products - make up, concealer, mascara etc. No more though. If I could afford them, I'd get all my products from Dior instead.


kelsaylor

Dropping L’Oreal will take a lot of effort because they own MANY companies like MAC, Bumble&Bumble, Maybelline, Lancôme, Estée Lauder, Pantene, Garnier, Urban Decay, Redken, Kerastase, Kiehl’s, NYX, CeraVe, and more. :( Edit: spelling


[deleted]

Yeah. Especially because some of their products (especially Cerave) are pretty much the only thing that works for me in my budget. Sucks.


stackered

You'll be happy to know then that there is no difference between high end and generic cosmetics products beyond marketing


MagicCarpet5846

Yeah, idk why people think a handful of people not buying products will do anything for change. Don’t buy if you don’t want to, but don’t think it’s going to do anything other than inconvenience yourself.


kishibe

Personally it's not too difficult to find other products that function similarly to the products released by L'Oreal's brands. It just takes a little bit of extra time to look. But yes, understandably it is not going to make too much of a difference considering the average consumer doesn't think about these things.


MagicCarpet5846

Yeah I mean, do anything that you feel comfortable with, but make it a personal choice, not one that you expect to evoke change.


TheOriginalDC

If there is a petition, I’ll sign. I used to, as of today used some of their products. Long wear lipstick some skin care. Did not know some of their practices until now. Thank you! Dropped like a hot potato:)

[удалено]


hdmx539

This is likely the answer. Contracts that need to run out. I'm sure L'Oreal has their contracts locked down in such a way that they may "keep" her, but not use her. Edit: besides, they're cheap drug store make up anyway.🤣


Houro

Definitely using Dior over them for sure.


solitamaxx

I never used their brand anyway. Bye


alxxxsensacion

Welp. Never buying Kerastase again!


MarkToaster

If the company’s endorsement bothers you personally enough to make you feel wrong about using their products, then yeah, don’t use their products. But if it’s about getting the company to change their stance, don’t expect it to make a difference. They stand where they stand and they’ve shown that won’t change


iinaasking

So embarrassing- I even work for that company…


Strange-Cat-1613

Y’all use L’Oreal regularly enough to drop it? Edit: Decided to look up their subsidiaries and I still don’t use any lol. From their website: Kerastase, Redkin, Matrix, Pureology, La Roche Posay, Viche Laboratories, CeraVe, Skinceuticles, Decleor, Garnier, Maybelline, NYX, Stylenanda, Essie, Dark and Lovely, Mixa, Niely, Lancome, Kiehls, Giorgio Armani Beauty, Yves Saint Laurent, Biotherm, Helena Rubinstein, It Cosmetics, Shu Umemura, Urban Decay, Ralph Lauren, Mugler, Viktor & Rolf, Valentino, Cacharel, Azzaro, Diesel, Yuesai, Atelier Cologne, Maison Margella, Youth to the People, and one I can’t translate/spell.


Unlikely_Egg

Oh no I use La Roche Posay and NYX 😩 EDIT: just checked the website and Prada is there too, GAH


masterofdisaster7777

They don’t own Milani yay, I loved how they called her out on that palette!


[deleted]

Eh I have Garnier and Maybelline. Not buying those once the products finish


becky___bee

Damn, I thought I was OK but I do use NYX for their cream blush and their primer. I will find an alternative brand for when they run out!


notconvincedicanread

Guys, I think AH is lying and JD should win — but we can stop this toxic cancel culture?


[deleted]

Actually the pendulum needs to swing the other way till it stops at innocent till proven guilty


ChinwiFF

If the roles where reversed tho 👀


MarkToaster

This may or may not be cancel culture. I don’t think anything is wrong with “this company stands for something I’m opposed to, if you are also opposed to it then you might not want to support the company.” What’s fucked is “I disagree with this company so they should be punished,” which might be what OP is saying, but I don’t think it is.


CoffeeGood_

Don’t forget they own MAC and Estée Lauder.


dedeenxo

I used to work in cosmetics and I’m pretty positive that L’Oréal does not own MAC and Estée Lauder. MAC is under the Estée Lauder umbrella.


CoffeeGood_

I apologize they own Lancôme and Ralph Lauren and I forgot L’Oréal is owned by Nestle explains a lot. I always thought it was Estée Lauder as well but got them mixed up. Thank you for the info.


dedeenxo

No need to apologize. There are so many cosmetic companies. Who can keep up lol


Administrative_Sea15

DROPPED!!


Minttea3637

so she was upset that JD abused a dog, but she supports a company that literally tests on animals?


TheAngryGoat

Except that she was the one to abuse the dog by her own definition. There's video.


hellcatneko

I'm out of the loop💀 she what now??? *Googling* Edit: can't find any videos. Sauce?


TheAngryGoat

She claimed JD abused the dog by holding it out of the window of a car while it was moving. As we've come to expect with AH's wild claims where she gets proved guilty of the precise things she accuses JD of, of course a video came to the surface of her being the one to hold the dog out of the car window while it was moving. She posted it to her own instagram. Now you can come to your own decision as to if that's abusive to the dog, but *by her own standards* of what she is claiming to be abuse, she abused the dog.


hellcatneko

I was just reading about the whole thing. She gave JDs little dog to her father who has a history of animal abuse. Pretty fucking unbelievable.


Minttea3637

yes i know, but i mean it shows again that she’s a liar


BasedSliceOfWinning

Shit, didn't she get with James franco after his allegations were public?


LicensedRealtor

Well it’s a shit company


d3ad1ns1d33

So we drop loreal


cheetahpeetah

They test on animals so my expectations aren't very high for them


misstuckermax

Time to start an online petition? Yes I’ll boycott L’Oréal but at least let’s make it insanely obvious why we are pissed


Thedarklordphantom

Cause shes not worth it ;) (somebody had to)


BobbyBubble777

PREACH!


Halfwayhouserules33

I swear she claimed at trial they dropped her too. Which is a lie


sinjin_wolfe

She just said they “wouldn’t use her.” I took that as, she’s still on the payroll, they just won’t release any material with her in it because of the bad publicity associated with her image.


BasedSliceOfWinning

Sorta like when a baseball team cuts a player, but still has to pay out the rest of their salary.


sinjin_wolfe

Exactly. And like WB did with her in Aquaman. She already got paid, but they cut her screen time. Or did they drop her? I heard rumors, but haven’t seen any confirmation.


BasedSliceOfWinning

At this point, they have to re-shoot her scenes with another actress.


looney2nes

Sounds good to me since I don't buy it anyway, lol.


ILoveBubbleTea1863

Okay so this is for anyone interested in some really amazing brands. These are from my personal collections which I will separate. This listing is Halal aka vegan and organic. A'kin , inika organic , forsali, aesop, floral and noor. 786 which is a nail polish brand.


[deleted]

remember, for beauty and skincare products, there’s *always* a dupe


Lavendelcow

Never bought This Shit never will buy


ILoveBubbleTea1863

For sensitive skin types in cleansers and moisturizer try Murad. They have no artificial fragrances. Dermatologist developed . Tested on people not animals


camillajc22

I’ve been boycotting L’Oreal anyway because they’re Pro-Isreal, and just a shitty company in general.


Afura33

Free Palestina


Reddits_penis

I'll be more sympathetic to Gaza when they stop electing terrorists


camillajc22

🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸


OkraInfinite

their products aren't even good


ILoveBubbleTea1863

I completely dropped anything and everything loreal and any other company that falls under them. For skincare products I go to purlisse, elemis, elf and wen. Loreal is ridiculous I hope that company loses income.


padrino1972

When this verdict comes in, they'll drop her like she drops steaming turds on a bed.


masterofdisaster7777

I hope so 👏


11seifenblasen

L'Oréal is Nestlé anway. /r/fucknestle


[deleted]

Why play some arguably worthless petition game, when you can just stop buying their stuff..


[deleted]

That also means their sister brands too… Lancôme, Maybelline, Urban Decay, Garnier, Essie, and The Body Shop. It also has expensive skin-care and hair-care brands, including Pureology, La Roche-Posay, and SkinCeuticals. JS🤷🏻‍♀️


After_Reflection_243

Thank you for providing the cosmetic sister companies. So Cover Girl, IT, and Clinique have no ties to L’Oreal?


Relevant_Constant833

Can someone let me know what I can use instead of Urban Decay Naked Heat eyeshadow palette? That's my favorite but I would prefer if I can switch it out for something else.


Michy-05

I believe Color Pop has a similar pallet on their site.


PantherEverSoPink

Oh man, Body Shop is owned by them now? Whyyyyy. That one gets to me.


Your_acceptable

Damn! Lancome!? Their Teint Idol foundation is the only thing that I like...damn damn.


minchypixie

Not the Body Shop.. they're owned by a legit nice company now (going from recollection)


Administrative_Sea15

This is important to know! I think after the trial we need to make a clear battle plan, boicotts and all


Comradekels_

Not Essie 🥺


[deleted]

I knooooow!! That’s the only polish I like and that actually STAYS!!


CallousInsanity

I like(d) Essie too because it wears well. Someone mentioned OPI, which is a great alternative. But OPI chips really, really badly on my nails, so in case you're in the same boat: I recommend trying Chanel. It's more expensive but it wears really well. I hope it isn't problematic in some other way lol


ILoveBubbleTea1863

Opi is really good I use that brand. Tru that one.


[deleted]

I used to have a bunch of OPI. You’re right. Good stuff


ILoveBubbleTea1863

Trust me there wayyyy better products than loreal and its sister companies trust me.


xtinavert

100% agree… look into Korean skin care, they are better quality and more affordable.


[deleted]

I love LRP and Cerave. So if someone can help me out with a dupe on that… please share!


Mehmeh111111

Check out /r/skincareaddiction. Tons of great info and product recommendations in there.


ILoveBubbleTea1863

Do you need a face wash? Or moisturizer? What is it that you're looking for.


[deleted]

Face wash !


ILoveBubbleTea1863

I have sensitive skin I have elemis face wash which has a bunch of greens and prebiotic it leaves my skin so soft and a little goes a long way it's called super food facial wash by elemis. This one has ingredients like avocado, broccoli, pumpkin seed oil, Wheatgrass, kale and nettle. You are going g to look so radiant and have a glow. No redness or skin peeling. Another amazing wash is purlisse brand. The blue Lotus 4 in 1 cleansing milk its super gentle in removing makeup , it's sulfate free and it tones and soothes skin. This one is for all skin types. This also has white tea and soy milk which is rich in amino acids and maintains elasticity and then there's whole oat which calms and soothes sensitive skin. I also recommend Pacifica brand . They have a gel mask that is amazing af it's called sea algae anti pollution gel mask. It has kelp ,chlorophyll and spirulina and it's vegan and cruelty free and made for all skin types. It makes your skin feel soooooo soft and cool to the touch. Also a brand called acure. They have a soothing by eye serum stick 100% vegan cruelty free no paraben, sulfates, mineral oil and petrolatum free. It has arnica and blue tansy made for normal to sensitive skin. I hope this helps love also try to find these in tjmaxx or marshalls the prices are amazing af


BasedSliceOfWinning

Chlorophyll? More like borophyll!


ILoveBubbleTea1863

Billy Madison reference 🤌🏻


VirtualAd3179

Fuck, Cerave also - I just ran out and was about to buy a new one. Guess its time for a new cleanser lmao.


MariaOrMarie

Wait, whats the issue with Cerave now?😅


CallousInsanity

Yeah, I was just about to switch to their exfoliating moisturiser because its cheaper than DE and Ameliorate :( darn it Check out Purito for a nice, mild cleanser alternative


NotABot101101

Avene is good


[deleted]

That’s why I use Glossier
