Lavanila Deodorant is the best!
I had long been on the search for a vegan deodorant when I started working at Sephora. I had tried many of the drug store ones. I often found products that left me sticky, smelly, or otherwise let down. Then when I started working at Sephora, I decided to give Lavanila a try.
Cruelty Free Brands at My Sephora
Disclaimer: This post is specific to my location. There may be more options at your local Sephora. If a company is on this list, they, nor do their parent companies, test on animals. If you see any mistakes, please let me know immediately! This post actually exists as a reference point for a co-worker on my days off. This list was last updated 9/3/2015.
Color Brands:
1. Too Faced
2. Josie Maran
3. Hourglass
4. Cover FX
5. Tarte*
6. Kat Von D**
7. Becca Cosmetics
Skincare Brands:
1. Dr. Dennis Gross
2. First Aid Beauty
3. AmorePacific
4. Drunk Elephant
5. DERMAdoctor
6. Lavanila
7. Sunday Riley
8. NUDE Skincare
9. Korres***
10. Coola Suncare
11. Supergoop! Skincare
Haircare:
1. Alterna
2. WEN by Chaz Dean
3. Verb Products (not in my store, but Texas local!!)
I have more research to do on haircare. I will add brands as I find more info on them.
For a more thorough list, check Cruelty Free Kitty's Sephora list. She is diligent and constantly updates it.
Tarte*: has been bought by Kose. I am having a hard time finding any information on this brand in general. They are a Japanese brand so I'm assuming they sell in mainland China, but I honestly don't know. If you have helpful information on the brand (in english), please link me!
Kat Von D**: is a Sephora brand. There for, it is Kendo, and falls under the LVMH umbrella. I list her here because for some reason a lot of people are still totally comfortable buying her despite this.
Korres***: Korres has taken control of their company again and become independent. The worrisome thing is their products have been seen on websites that operate in mainland China. The brand is claiming it's unauthorized and is working to get the items removed. For now, I believe them, but we'll have to see what the future holds for Korres.
I have since taken Murad & Kate Somerville off of the list. In June they were both purchased by Unilever. Both brands will remain cruelty free, but their parent company tests.

L'Oreal Ultimate Straight Hair System
Disclaimer: I received these items to review from Influester. This doesn't change my opinion; you guys know I'm brutally honest. Also, these items are not cruelty free, and they are not vegan.
I received the Influester Voxbox for the Ultimate Straight hair system from L'Oreal Paris USA. It's a four piece system including your usual shampoo and conditioner, but also a pre-conditioner and a smoothing balm. I really like the packaging for these products because I can tell what they are without having my contacts in, which is not unheard of when I shower.
