It’s that time of year for my vegan & cruelty free favourites this year. There are 6 products that have truly hit the mark for me this year and are absolute stand out favourites. All these products are suitable for vegans, are cruelty free and work absolute wonders.
The Ordinary 100% Niacinamide Powder
This has become a holy grail product for me. I mix it in with my serums (avoid mixing with vitamin C!) and it can really help to target:
- enlarged pores
- excess oil
- stubborn blemishes.
The pot comes with a little scooper so you can mix a little into your routine, and it will dissolve helping to leave your skin looking and feeling incredible. The powder will dissolve into the product of your choice. For £4.75, it will definitely be a game changer in your routine.
Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Remedy Moisturizer
I raved about this product to the point that I actually dedicated an entire post to it. I have used so much of this moisturiser that I know I will truly be repurchasing it, because it is an absolutely wonderful moisturiser. If you’re like me and have combo skin, or struggle with large pores, treat yourself. In my opinion you won’t regret it.
For me it truly has been a holy grail moisturiser. It works so well on my skin, and I feel like it was maid for my routine.

Revolution Skincare 2% Salicylic Acid Serum
On one of my many trips to Boots I spotted this in the skincare section, and I was intrigued. I haven’t used any Revolution Skincare in a hot minute, and this one looked like a bit of a dupe for the viral The Ordinary serum. This one however, I loved. The packaging was right up my street, and it worked really well on my blemishes. The way it would melt into the skin it truly worked wonders for me!
I would definitely recommend this product to people who break out really easily. I have had a few very painful breakouts, and adding this product into my routine has really helped. For £8, I really don’t think you can go wrong.
Aveda Nutriplenish Leave In Conditioner
A leave in conditioner is an absolute must in your hair care routine, and this one is truly such a wonderful product. When it comes to a leave in conditioner, I want something that will nourish my hair, but also not weight my hair down. This product truly is amazing.
The spray is:
- light on your hair
- nourishing
- leaves your hair shiny
- reduces frizz
- detangles
- perfect for dry ends.
For £29.50, it sounds expensive, however, you won’t regret it. A little of this product goes such a long way.
Huda Beauty Bomb Brows Pencil
I cannot explain how much I absolutely love this pencil. This brow pencil truly does work wonders to the point I’ve repurchased it twice now – you can beat it. The pencil is so small you can:
- create hair like strokes
- fill in sparse areas of your brows
- gives you a natural brow look
- doesn’t feel heavy on the brows
- easy to fix if you make a mistake.
This brow pencil is £15, however, this has truly become a holy grail for me. It is one of my go to brow products and I don’t think you can beat a good brow pencil. Their full and fluffy fibre gel is also amazing too!

Iconic London Triple Threat Mascara
This is the final product in my favourites. The Iconic London Triple Threat Mascara is incredible! Laura Louise Beauty put me onto this brand in her AD for Iconic London on IG, and I bought it hoping for the best and she didn’t steer me wrong.
The way this mascara works is like sorcery. Benefits of this mascara include:
- amazing lash extension
- no wand clogging
- amazing volume
- doesn’t clump on the lashes
- great lash separation.
I really enjoy this brand and I feel like it makes my lashes feel amazing. It also doesn’t crumble which is something very important for me!
These are my 2021 favourites! I feel like there have been so many amazing launches this year, but these ones have taken the crown for me. I’m really looking forward to more incredible launches in 2022.

I really need to try that The Ordinary powder, I have excess oil at times and I think this powder would be good to help with that! x

I didn’t realise Revolt was vegan! I’ve tried a few of their makeup products but not skincare yet. I’ll definitely have to investigate. I LOVE the sound of this mascara. I could do with a new one and this one sounds lush!
Thanks for sharing sweetie!

I’ve heard so many great things about The Ordinary, I’ll have to have a further look! Always keen to try more vegan brow & mascara products too x
i’ve always wanted to try the ordinary products. and the huda beauty brow pencil seems like something i need to try as well. i love that more brands are becoming vegan.
Still need to try Revolution skincare! Each time I read about them on your blog I think I must try them. I really like the look of the Huda beauty eyebrow pencil too. It’s more affordable than I thought it’d be too.
