I have tried lots of brands and I am not lecturing people at all, it is entirely up to you what products you use. I personally have started to make a move towards researching a lot more about products before I buy. I do not want to support animal testing for cosmetic purposes. I don't care how good something might make me look, I don't want an animal to suffer in order to find that out.
