YVES ROCHER- A Halal Brand

Yves Rocher is a French makeup brand that focuses on botanical beauty. This brand is great for Muslim consumers as all their products are plant based and thus Halal.

I think the greatest aspect of shopping from this brand is the lack of stress you'll experience. You don't have to stress about all the various scientific ingredient names, and whether they are animal or plant based. If any of you have seen PETA list of animal ingredients, you may agree that keeping all these ingredients to memory is never going to happen and the easiest, most stress free and doubt-free way to buy halal makeup is to buy it from a plant based company. The only ingredient you may have to be concerned about is alcohol; other than that your shopping will be a very easy and fun experience.

The other positive aspect of this company is that they have testers in the store. Not only that, but they

allow you to take their products home, try them on, and if you're still not truly satisfied you can always return the used product! In addition to the moderate price range, you have an assurance that if you're not satisfied with your product, that you can always return it. That is a definite advantage that drugstore makeup (which has a cheap to moderate price range) does not have!

On the other hand, I feel their products are either hit or miss. I love their lip pencils and long wear lipstick range. However, when I tried their eyeliner it smudged off even after it dried.
Another disadvantage to this company is that their stores are not widely accessible to everyone, and thus many have to resort to online shopping and miss out on the convenience of testing out a product in-store.

I think that when it comes to skin-care products and lip products this company is awesome because those are the hardest products to find that are Halal. Often times a lipstick color that you've fallen in love with will have carmine, and a skin care product you love will definitely have glycerin. But as for other products such as eyeliners, and eye shadows. I think you're better off finding halal options from more familiar brands like MAC that are of higher quality.
