My must have vegan beauty product is mineral foundation! It's been some of the best stuff for my skin. I wear a lot of makeup though so it's ALL a must have!

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:24AM By Shanon

Dr. Bonners magic "all in one" Patchouli Lime Organic Body Balm. I love this stuff. I use it everywhere!! The smell is divine and it works so well! You only need a small amount. =)

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:25AM By veganinblack

I adore my vegan brushes from Urban Decay.

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:26AM By Michelle

Crazy Rumors chapstick and Tarte mascara! I also love the vegan Urban Decay lip plumper.

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:26AM By Harriet Cross

Lush ginger perfume is amazing. You can only buy it on-line, not in the shops. I am regularly asked what fragrance I am wearing because it is so original. I hope more people will buy it so that they will bring it back to the shops!

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:27AM By Kylie D

My must have vegan beauty product is the Pore Shrink herbal clay mask from Kiss My Face's organics line. It works wonders! :)

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:27AM By Noelle

Sesame oil! It's light and soaks in nicely. I can use it on my dry spots on my face and as an added bonus at my the end of my nostrils...I swear I have not been sick since I started this practice. It is also great after a shower all over!

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:27AM By Megan

I don't tend to keep many "beauty" products around, however, I picked up a few Urban Decay shadows for my birthday this year, and I love them! I'm excited they're releasing the vegan palette :)

I can't live without olive oil. It's such a great all purpose skin care ingredient. Great moisturizer, eye makeup remover, I make my scrubs with it, and can cook with it too. :)

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:28AM By Michelle

Aubry's line of hair and face- washes.. They have a cool mint tingle on my face! I love a lot of makeup products, but it's so hard to know weather anything is vegan or not unless the label says so. (So many chemical type sounding ingredients.) This is really exciting!

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:29AM By Rachel Findley

I love JASON Natural Tea Tree Oil Shampoo. It has a great tingly feel when I wash my hair and smells super good!

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:29AM By Shanna G

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:33AM By Melonie

Mmmmm best vegan beauty product? A scrub of high-quality olive oil and vegan sugar! The sugar exfoliates gently and the oil soaks in and softens- cheap and effective!

Posted: Jul 28 2010 11:34AM By JP

i only have one vegan product so far (using up the lasts of my cruel versions before purchasing new cruel-free products), and that's just my ecotool brushes... planning on buying some vegan shadows here soon, if i don't win these, of course :)

Posted: Jul 28 2010 13:31PM By riki luri

Posted: Aug 02 2010 03:09AM By Cindy

Mineral makeup.

Posted: Aug 02 2010 11:14AM By Kim

Coconut oil!

Posted: Aug 04 2010 13:16PM By Heidi G.

My absolute must-have vegan beauty product also happens to be an Urban Decay product: Urban Decay Primer Potion. It comes in packaging that looks like a genie bottle and it does indeed work like a genie in a bottle: it's magic! It is THE best primer for getting eyeshadow to last for hours without creasing, but I also use it along my eyelids to make eyeliner last without rubbing off and making me look like a raccoon. Much as I love raccoons, as an animal rights advocate I don't want to look like one while I'm out fighting for their cause!

Posted: Aug 04 2010 13:27PM By Nancy

I'm pretty much bonkers for almost anything Urban Decay and vegan. I love the intense color saturation of their products on my brown skin. Finding good vegan makeup can be hard when you're brown, but Urban Decay makes it decidedly easier.

My must have vegan cosmetic is Lush's glittery shimmy bar- its scent is so and sweet and body glitter all over makes me feel like a snow princess.

My favorite vegan beauty items right now are the clean slate natural primer & recreate natural anti-aging foundation from tarte (they have a good vegan mascara too) and the Urban Decay Zero (black) liner (24/7 glide on eye pencil). I have great brushes from Stript (big sale right now at Ricky's for any New Yorkers out there).
