I usually buy travel size mascaras from Sephora (Hourglass Caution Mascara has been my favorite for about a year and a half now), but when I run out, I’m planning on trying some drugstore/affordable options instead. These are the top five vegan and cruelty free mascaras on my wishlist right now.

Top 5 vegan & cruelty free mascaras on my wishlist

1. E.L.F. Cosmetics Keep Your Curl Mascara ($5) This mascara is only $5, and Sarah Rose (a cruelty free beauty Youtuber) raves about it, so I really want to try it.
2. Covergirl Exhibitionist Mascara ($6-12) I’ve been meaning to try out some Covergirl products ever since they went cruelty free a couple of years ago and became Logical Harmony approved, and I remember using and liking Covergirl mascara as a teen, so I really want to check their vegan mascara out.
3. Colourpop BFF Mascara ($8) Ok, I’ll admit it, the main reason I want to try this mascara is because it comes in blue! I used to wear blue mascara sometimes in high school, and I’m all about rediscovering loves from when I was younger, so I need some blue mascara in my life.
4. Flower Beauty Warrior Princess Mascara ($10) I love Flower Beauty Blush Bombs, and I’ve heard good things about the Warrior Princess Mascara, so it’s one of the top mascaras I want to try right now.
5. Pacifica Highest Lash Chronic Volume Mascara ($15) Another vegan mascara I’m intrigued about is this hemp-infused mascara I heard about from  Vegan Beauty Addict on Youtube.

Milani Highly Rated 10-in-1 Volume Mascara ($10. This mascara is on the Logical Harmony list of vegan products from Milani, but it’s not labaled as vegan on Milani’s website, so I’m not sure if it’s vegan or not–check before buying.)
