Cruelty-free and vegan are different categories in the world of beauty. Both mean very different things, but today, we're going to focus on the world of vegan beauty, which are beauty products that do not use any animal-derived ingredients. If you're curious about some vegan beauty products, here are all of our recommendations to check out. 

P.S. A lot of these brands are fully vegan, but not all; some just offer vegan products in their line.  

Flower Beauty's Spotlight Liquid Highlighters

A few of the products offered by Flower Beauty are both cruelty-free and vegan, and this is one of them.  We love this product because it's highly pigmented and infused with moisturizing ingredients. It uses goji berries and cranberry seeds to moisturize the skin. We also love this pearly highlighter because it looks as good as it feels on your skin. Plus, it comes in three stunning shades. 

KVD Beauty Super Pomade Vegan Eyeliner, Shadow + Brow Pigment

KVD prides itself on being a vegan and cruelty-free beauty brand, so we could have chosen any product from the site. We wanted to include its Super Pomade Vegan Eyeliner, Shadow + Brow Pigment because we love multi-purpose items here. This product can be used as an eyeliner, eyeshadow, and brow pigment. In addition, something cool to note is that this is waterproof and promises to last all day long. What's not to love? 

ESW Beauty Deep Detox Pore Control Raw Juice Mask

This is another vegan and cruelty-free brand that is perfect for the face mask and skincare lover in your life (maybe that's you). Although we love a lot of ESW Beauty's products, we wanted to talk about its detox mask because everyone's skin can use a little detox. This mask uses water to keep your skin hydrated, activated charcoal to cleanse your skin on a deeper level and unclog your pores, and lemon juice, which is a gentle and natural exfoliator. Something cool about this mask is that it is compostable. 

SKYN Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels

Sometimes, your eyes need a little TLC, and this is the perfect item to refresh your undereye. This gel is cooling and helps transform your underye in 10 minutes or less. It uses Icelandic glacial water to help hydrate and detoxify your skin. It is also formulated with hydrolyzed extensin and acetyl hexapeptide-8 to help with wrinkles and fine lines and restore tone and firmness to your under eyes. Additionally, it also contains ginkgo biloba leaf extract, which helps with blood flow under the eye, which ultimately reduces puffiness and more. 

Half Magic Chromaddiction Shimmer Eye Paint + Eyeliner

This is another multi-use product we love at the moment. You can use this as an eyeshadow or as an eyeliner (personally, we love it as an eyeshadow). The brand is both vegan and cruelty-free. One of the reasons why we love this product is that they are super playful and come in a ton of shades for everyone. Not only is this buildable, but it's also transferproof as well as smudge-proof.
