VBR’s Cruelty-Free Holiday Gift Guide: Makeup & Skincare
Holidays are the perfect time to splurge on beauty necessities for all of your beloveds—BBFs, family members, significant others, neighbors, coworkers, and of course, yo’self! VBR’s mega holiday gift guide is packed with some of my all-time fave vegan & cruelty-free makeup and skin care skincare products that I know your peeps will dig!
For Makeup Lovahs
- Pacifica’s Fresh Face Natural Beauty Set, $45 – This 100% vegan and cruelty-free set includes Ultra Natural CC Cream, Perfect Lotus Universal Pressed Powder, Transcendent Concentrated Natural Concealer, and Dreamlit Under Eye Brightener – everything you need for a naturally gorgeous, healthy glow.
- Hold Me Baby Makeup Bag, $60 – This little makeup bag is super chic (exterior is black vegan suede), durable, easy to clean, fits a surprising amount of stuff, and comes in a variety of cute and fun interior patterns. It has an expandable center section, the “heart” of the bag, which is fully zippered, and a covered brush section.
- L’eclisse Cosmetics Pressed Mineral Foundation, $57 – This silky-smooth foundation travels as elegantly on your skin as it does in your purse (seriously, the compact looks like a beautiful, sparkly, blinged out jewel). It has buildable coverage and is formulated without oil, talc, fragrances, or synthetic dyes. It’s very, very fancy!
- Liliy Lolo BB Cream & Mascara $22; $20 – I’m smitten as a kitten with this beauty brand. Their BB Cream is DIVINE! It’s silicone-free, has natural SPF 15, and is packed with nourishing and anti-ageing ingredients as well as mineral pigments to help blur imperfections and even skin tone. It can be used for light coverage or under your foundation for added coverage. Lily Lolo’s Mascara is super soft and creamy and doesn’t have any artificial gunk ingredients, just long lasting color with a smooth texture.
