Must-Haves for the Vegan Beauty Girl

No animals were hurt in the making of these beauty gems!
By Virginia Lowman · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Velvet Lipstick

The pigment in lipstick can be super drying, but this option from BITE Beauty is hydrating, goes on smooth and is long wearing. Looking for an rosy hue that’s office and happy hour friendly? Try BITE Beauty Butter Cream Lipstick in Rosewood.

Toxin-Free Polish

Nail polish has been making the news recently because of it’s toxic ingredients, which is why we love Ginger + Liz . The Black owned nail line puts health first without compromising on quality. The line offers a ton of shades, but we’re obssesed with this nail lacquer from their fall collection called “Work the Room.”

Ouch-Free Skincare

Discomfort shouldn’t be the universal sign that your skincare is working. Skip the burning feeling that sometimes comes with applying a toner and opt for something more skin-friendly that won’t test your pain tolerance. This Meow Meow Tweet Face Toner is chock-full of hydrating ingredients that are sure to clarify your skin and give you a glow.

Luscious Lip Laquer

If you’re on the market for a lip color that’s super long wearing and incredibly pigmented, Obsessive Compulsive Matte Lip Tar was made just for you! A single application will take you from early morning to late night and maybe even into the next day if you forget to remove your makeup when you get home!

$9, available at sephora.com

Perfect At-Home Pedi Scrub

Sometimes nails get all the love. Next time you’re changing up your polish at home, cater to yoour feet as well with a foot soak and an invigorating scrub to soften and hydrate skin. We love this organic scrub from Skinny Skinny. The bonus? The rosemary mint scent is also really relaxing.

Brittle hair needs conditioner and chapped lips do too! Soften your pucker with Herbivore Botanicals Coco Rose Lip Conditioner. For the ultimate smoothness, apply it after rinsing off your favorite lip scrub.

Instant Glowifier

Serum is the golden child of the beauty world. For dry, dull skin reach for Sunday Riley Juno Hydroactive Cellular Facial Oil for an instant refresher. No one will be able to tell that you only got three hours of sleep last night.

The Ultimate Skin Protector

The most important step of your skincare is SPF. With melanoma on the rise, you can never be too cautious, even in the winter. For all-over protection, we love Drunk Elephant Umbra Sheer Physical Defense SPF 30.

Short on time, but need to zap a blemish? Kora Organics Blemish Gel will treat the problem without the harsh ingredients and the results will literally happen overnight! Before you go to bed, apply a thin layer of the gel to your blemish and  moisturize the rest of your face with your favorite facial cream. When you wake up in the morning, you’ll be blemish-free.
