The Vegan Cuts Beauty Box is a monthly beauty and makeup subscription box. All of their products are vegan (and they tend to be natural, too). They also typically include a nice mix of full-size and sample beauty items. Vegan Cuts also offers a monthly Snack Box and quarterly Makeup Box.
This review is of the $22.95 a month Vegan Cuts Beauty Box.
Vegan Cuts sends a single package to subscribers who get both the beauty and snack boxes. The beauty items are separated into a little bag. (If you do not get the snack box, I don’t think you get the little bag.)
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Vegan Cuts Beauty Box April 2019 Review
The Vegan Cuts Beauty Box usually contains a variety of hair care, skincare, and bath and body products. There’s often one makeup product, as well:
Each Vegan Cuts Beauty Box comes with an information card detailing the items for that month.
Herban Clay Facial Cleansing Bar – Retail Value $12.50
At first, I thought we had only received a small sample size, but based on the manufacturer’s website, this is actually the full-sized product. I guess facial cleansers don’t need to be very big to last a long time. This lathered really well and left my face squeaky clean. I am not sure how I feel about bar cleansers for the face, but if you are concerned about the environmental impact of excessive packaging, this is a nice solution and it does work. (Note: I did not try to remove makeup with this.)
Annmarie Skin Rosemary Toning Mist (1 fl oz) – Estimated Value $22.11 (buy 50 mL for $33)
This is marketed towards oily skin (which I have). It has willow bark extract, which is a natural source of salicylic acid, so it should be good at preventing breakouts. The product page says you can also use it near the roots of your hair. I actually found this to be a little harsh, which is surprising since it doesn’t contain alcohol.
Rosy Organic Apricot Oil – Listed Value $5 (buy 1 fl oz for $28)
This did not have size information so I’m using the value from the information card. This is a source of several antioxidants as well as omega-6 and -9 fatty acids, and it is supposed to help calm inflammation. I think you would have to use it a long time to see those benefits, but you don’t need much at once, so there is probably enough here to find out. This can also be used on the hair and, personally, I think it is a better fit for me there. I do like the idea of multi-use products because if it doesn’t work for you one way, it might work for you a different way.
Goddess Garden Organics Natural Facial Sunscreen Lotion (1 oz) – Estimated Value $4.41 (buy 3.4 oz for $14.99)
The primary SPF-providing ingredient here is zinc oxide. I am all about mineral sunscreens as I have somewhat sensitive skin when it comes to chemical sunscreens. This one can leave white streaks on the skin (I am very pale so it may be worse on people with darker skin) but under makeup, it works well.
Zatik Glow Moisture Cream (1.7 fl oz) – Retail Value $28
I feel like I have seen this brand somewhere before (maybe Yuzen or a Whole Foods Beauty Bag?). Anyway, this product is new to me and it is a very lightweight moisturizer that is great for summer (plus it has lots of antioxidants from the sea buckthorn and raspberry ingredients).
Verdict: I calculated a value of $72.02 for this month’s Vegan Cuts Beauty Box. That is more than three times the $22.95 month-to-month cost of the subscription. At first I thought it was strange that there were only products for the face (and no makeup) but then I realized that this was a whole facial skincare routine with some elements that are particularly good for the upcoming warm weather, and I think that’s kind of neat and speaks to an effort with curation that I don’t always see in beauty boxes.
