My Must-Have Cruelty-Free Beauty Products from the Sephora VIB Sale

Posted on Saturday - November 3, 2018 by Tashina Combs & Last updated on Saturday - November 3, 2018 43 Comments

My Must-Have Cruelty-Free Beauty Products from the Sephora VIB Sale

A couple of times a year, Sephora has a huge sale that lets VIB and VIB Rouge members save some serious cash on their favorite beauty items. Whenever these sales happen I get a lot of readers asking me what my must-have cruelty-free beauty products sold at Sephora are. While I have already shared a list of the cruelty-free brands at Sephora (all of which have vegan options), a lot of my favorite brands happen to be sold at Sephora.

This is the perfect time to stock up on items you know you love, and a chance to try items you may have been on the fence about. To make this easier for you, I am going to split this into a couple of lists – cruelty-free beauty products that I think everyone should get, cruelty-free beauty products on my wishlist during this sale, and cruelty-free beauty products that are nice-to-have splurges.

Some of my must-have cruelty-free beauty products from the Sephora sale are:

Shopping online? Sign up for Ebates and get cash back on your cruelty-free purchases from Sephora. You can use the Ebates website or the browser extension to get cash back while shopping for cruelty-free makeup at Sephora.

Cruelty-free products that I think everyone should pick up during this sale are:


These are some of my must-have cruelty-free beauty products that I find myself reaching for often and think every beauty lover should try.

  • beautyblender Pro – The VIB sales are a great time to stock up on products you know you’ll need during the year, like near beautyblenders. These are my favorite because they never stain.
  • First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration* – This First Aid Beauty moisturizer has a huge following and for good reason. It’s super soothing and nourishing, especially for really dry and irritated skin. You can find a full list of the First Aid Beauty vegan products here on Logical Harmony.
  • Four Sigmatic Mushroom Hot Cacao Mix with Reishi – Or anything from Four Sigmatic really. They make mushroom infused coffee, hot chocolate, and matcha that can really help you get the most out of your morning, afternoon, or evening.
  • IGK Beach Club Texture Spray –  If you want beachy hair with lots of texture, this is perfect for you. I use it a lot to get that second-day hair look, volume, and tons of texture.
  • Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hour Hydrating Foundation* – If you like full coverage foundation or do any work on camera, you need this in your life. It’s amazing. I have a full video talking about it and showing a demo. Find a full list of Smashbox vegan products here on Logical Harmony. You can find a full list of the Smashbox vegan products here on Logical Harmony.
  • Tarte Cosmic Maracuja Concentrated Face Balm* – This balm is super nourishing and amazing as an overnight treatment. I love combining it with an overnight mask for an extra treat. You can find a full list of the Tarte vegan products here on Logical Harmony.
  • TATCHA Camellia Gold Spun Lip Balm – This is one of my favorite lip balms. I love it as an overnight treatment. It works so well to soften and hydrate.
  • Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Setting Powder* – Initially, this Too Faced setting powder wasn’t vegan, but it is now and I am SO glad because it’s simply lovely. You can find a full list of the Too Faced vegan products here on Logical Harmony.
  • Too Faced Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer* – This is a super full coverage concealer that’s amazing for all skin types. It’s not too dry or too heavy for dry skin. Plus, it comes in 20 shades.

Cruelty-free products that are on my wishlist are:


These are some cruelty-free products that I really want to try. I try to keep my orders simple during the sale, and some of these products will likely be in my order.

  • ANTONYM Highlighting Blush – I tried this once and it was so pretty. It’s the perfect blush and highlight hybrid that adds color to your cheeks with just the perfect amount of glow.
  • Charlotte Tilbury Bar Of Gold Highlighting Palette – I love the original Bar of Gold Highlighter, and this trio just looks so gorgeous. You can find a full list of the Charlotte Tilbury vegan products here on Logical Harmony.
  • Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Genius Under Eye & Face Magic Powder – This brand new setting powder is supposedly absolutely amazing, brightening, and leaves a glowy finish to the skin.
  • Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4 – Each year Hourglass releases a limited edition Holiday palette that’s always so gorgeous, but has never been vegan until now. Since announcing that they will be a vegan brand by 2020 Hourglass has made so many changes to their current products and new releases. You can find a full list of the Hourglass vegan products here on Logical Harmony.
  • Hourglass Veil Retouching Fluid* – This is such a unique product. It’s not a foundation or a concealer but claims that it can retouch your makeup during the day. I’m super intrigued and want to see if it’s really worth the money. Find a full list of Hourglass vegan products here on Logical Harmony.

Cruelty-free products available during this sale that are nice splurges:

These products aren’t necessarily some of my must-have cruelty-free beauty products that I re-order, but they are nice-to-haves that are worth the money if you can afford them.

  • DryBar Buttercup Blow Dryer – This dryer leaves my hair feeling smooth and frizz-free and dries my hair SO quickly. It’s a splurge, but well worth it.
  • Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask – This mask is so nice for helping with any skin texture and dullness. It’s gentle but really effective. Find a full list of Tata Harper vegan products here on Logical Harmony.
  • Tatcha Gold Camellia Beauty Oil – It’s been a while since this face oil has made the rounds on YouTube, but it’s truly a wonderful product. It’s so nourishing for all skin types.

These sales are a great time to stock up on staple items that you know you use often. What will you be grabbing during this years Sephora VIB sale?

* This brand is cruelty-free but its parent company is not. At the end of the day, I would rather people purchase from a cruelty-free brand with a parent company that is not cruelty-free than purchase from a brand who tests on animals themselves. I encourage everyone who supports cruelty-free brands to let the brand know that being cruelty-free is important to you.

    Hi Tashina,

    Because there are Sephora stores in China, and China requires animal testing for all cosmetics sold there, wouldn’t all Sephora products have had animal testing at some point?

      The Sephora house brand is not cruelty-free and brands sold at Sephora stores in China are not cruelty-free, but different regions carry different brands. Since not all brands sold at Sephora are sold in their locations in China (or anywhere in China for that matter), a lot of them can still be cruelty-free.

        Beautyblender sells at sephora in china and so does Nudestix. They both claim to be cruelty-free but if they sell to Sephora China aren’t their products being testes on animals? Therefore they are not cruelty-free, right?
        Best regards.

          I haven’t confirmed if Nudestix is cruelty-free, but I can say that the products beautyblender sells there are exempt from animal testing. They only make the sponges and a soap and soap is not required to be tested on animals, but a lot of makeup still is.

    Hi Tashina,
    I’m going to try the Anastasia Beverly Hills stick foundation during this sale. However, I was wondering what do you use to set the foundation. Does ABH have a vegan setting powder? Thanks!

      They don’t have a setting powder, but I have used a lot of other brands without issue. RCMA and Cover FX are my favorites!

    I am looking for a replacement for the oil cleanser I currently use as I have since become vegan since I last purchased. Since I usually stock up on cleanser during this sale is there one that you can recommend?

    Ahhh! I didn’t know Pinrose was at Sephora. Might have to try! I would totally try ABH or Hourglass foundation sticks but I already have the Au Naturale one. Also I bought the DryBar blow dryer two years ago and it’s like NASA technology magical. Im going to have some fun since I’m a rouge (but won’t be next year since I basically shop indie and green beauty now).

    Great list! How are we to know which Anastasia Beverly Hills products are vegan? I don’t see an ingredients list on their website and when I asked them for a list of vegan offerings, they said they could not gaurantee any of their products were free from beeswax or other animal products.

    Reply
    • Tashina Combs says

      Saturday - November 14, 2015 at 9:59 pm

      Hi Danna,

      Whenever I have spoken to them, they have told me that the only non-vegan ingredients used are carmine and beeswax. They are both clearly labeled in ingredient lists on their packaging. I don’t know why they don’t list the ingredients online but, you can check the Sephora and Ulta sites for ingredient lists of the ABH products.

      The reason they told you that about beeswax is because they use the same production equipment for all items (like most brands). It’s similar to vegan food that says it may contain traces of dairy due to shared equipment too. It doesn’t necessarily mean those ingredients are actually in the products. 🙂 Hopefully this helps explain.

      When you search a product on their website they usually say if it is Cruelty-free and Vegan or just cruelty-free.

    I cannot live without the Custom Cover Drops! The only foundation to cover acne completely without breaking me out further. I might get the Beautyblender set because I like the sound of the finishing spray.

    Oh, these are great picks, and I was looking at a number of them at my Sephora in suburbia today as I make my list for next week. I always am surprised to see
    the Sephora on Fifth Ave in the former Scribner’s building. As much as I adore Sephora, I wish it still sold books 😉
