My favorite beauty boxes are cosmetics-heavy, and the December Vegan Cuts Beauty Box didn’t disappoint. Curated specially by the Leaping Bunny, every product is vegan and guaranteed cruelty-free. Though I liked everything in this shipment, I especially fell for the eyeshadow, lip balm and blush. I also really loved the bonus gift that came as part of a “Cyber Monday” deal. Read on for an unpacking of the December box, and a review of the bonus products.
Concrete Minerals eyeshadow: “A silky soft and super pigmented eyeshadow made with purest mineral ingredients.” $8 value
Crazy Rumors lip balm in Hot Cocoa: “Cruelty-free lip balms in a variety seasonal scents and flavors.” $3.50 value

For signing up or renewing a subscription on “Cyber Monday,” Vegan Cuts offered a bonus gift which included three items that have become part of my daily rotation:
Pacifica Power of Love Natural Lipstick in Firebird, $10 value
I love this lipstick! I’m very pale, and this is such a flattering shade of red. It’s bright without being garish and it doesn’t crumble into the corners of your mouth or fade quickly into a garish line. It’s also “neutral” enough to be worn daily, so long as you keep your eye makeup tame.
Dew Puff Original Konjac Sponge, $8 value
Dew Puff, where have you been all my life? I’ve traded in my washcloth for the Konjac Sponge, and my skin couldn’t be happier. With just a drop of cleanser, this sponge transforms into a pore cleaning machine. I need to hoard these in bulk.
Vegan Cuts makeup bag
What woman couldn’t use another little cosmetic bag? Love this canvas beauty for toting around my daily essentials, and the “Vegan & Cruelty Free Beauty” tagline makes for a great conversation starter in the ladies room!
