Shipping Restored to the USA

on Oct 06 2025
Shipping Restored to the USA – A Journey of Perseverance, Potions & Patience For those who’ve been waiting across the ocean the wait is finally over. 🖤VE Cosmetics is once again shipping to the USA, and our vegan, cruelty-free, gothic creations can finally fly back to their American altars. A Little Backstory When international shipping rules shifted, our small (and very human!) indie brand was hit hard. Tariffs, customs changes, and courier complications made sending parcels to the EU and later the USA nearly impossible for a while. For a one-woman business, it was more than just an inconvenience; it was a heartbreak. Watching our overseas coven struggle to restock their favourites, knowing orders couldn’t cross borders, felt like a spell gone wrong. But every witch knows curses are breakable .. The Learning Curve Over the last few months, we’ve worked tirelessly to understand and implement tariff systems, update checkout automation, and test courier options that balance affordability with reliability. It’s been a journey of spreadsheets, shipping codes, and sheer willpower  but today, it’s paid off. ✨ We’re thrilled to say that VE Cosmetics now ships again to the USA. Our ethical, vegan, and cruelty-free makeup is once again available to beauty lovers worldwide (we cannot however ship our Fragrances to the USA and Canada yet). Why It Matters VE Cosmetics has always been more than a brand. It’s a community bound by shared values, compassion, rebellion, and the magick of self-expression. Re-opening shipping to our US Coven isn’t just about business; it’s about connection, accessibility, and bringing our alt beauty family back together. So wherever you are, whether painting sigils with our eyeliners in Scotland or summoning glamour in Salem we’re back, ready to deliver the magick to your door. Because beauty, like magick, should have no borders. 🌍✨

🕯️ Collabs Network Update — Thank You for Your Patience, Coven! First a huge thank you (and an even bigger apology) to everyone who applied to join our VE Cosmetics Collabs Network and has been waiting for a reply. We were recently hit by a wave of spam applications from companies trying to sell us their services (the digital equivalent of glitter in your grimoire pages ✨), which unfortunately buried many genuine submissions from our amazing creators. After a marathon session of clearing through three pages of spam and sorting real applications from chaos, we’re finally almost fully caught up! A warm welcome to all of our new collaborators  we’re so excited to have you in the VE Coven. 🖤 For now, please note that we’re only accepting applications from UK-based artists and influencers due to current budget restrictions. We truly value our international supporters and hope to open this opportunity globally again in the future. Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and continued magickal support. 🕯️ Independent brand. Small team. Big heart.

I am extremely proud of what VE Cosmetics are achieving as a small independent company....however I cannot accept an invitation to The House of Lords and be OK with myself. Therefore after declining the invitation I have decided that I will donate the money it would have cost to Travel to London to Charity.

Happy World Vegan day

on Nov 01 2023
🌱 World Vegan Day — A Vision of Compassion and Harmony Today, we celebrate World Vegan Day  a moment to pause, reflect, and honour the path of compassion that guides everything we do at VE Cosmetics. For us, veganism isn’t just a label or a marketing term; it’s a commitment to peace, empathy, and conscious creation. It’s the belief that beauty should never come at the cost of another being’s suffering human or animal alike. On this day, we imagine a world in balance: 🌿 Where the Earth is respected, not exploited.🐇 Where animals live freely, not as commodities.💚 Where kindness is woven into every choice from what we eat to what we wear to what we put on our skin. Every palette, lipstick, and potion we create is born from that vision vegan, cruelty-free, and crafted with compassion at every step. So today, and every day, we celebrate the small acts of rebellion that shape a kinder future. Whether you’re fully plant-based or simply choosing cruelty-free beauty, you’re part of a growing wave of conscious change. Together, we can make compassion the default  and harmony the spell that binds us all. 🌍✨ 🖤 VE Cosmetics Makeup so good, it must be witchcraft.

Supporting Our Local Women’s Refuge — Beauty with Purpose

on Jan 20 2021
🕯️ Supporting Our Local Women’s Refuge — Beauty with Purpose At VE Cosmetics, compassion isn’t just a word — it’s part of our ritual. We recently donated a selection of eyeshadow palettes and skincare to our local Women’s Refuge, offering a little colour, care, and confidence to both the residents and staff.Extras were also included for them to raffle or sell, helping to raise much-needed funds for the ongoing support of survivors of domestic violence. Beauty can be powerful — a moment of self-worth, a reminder of strength, or a small spark of normality in a world that’s been unkind. It’s our hope that these donations bring comfort and empowerment where they’re most needed. If you’d like to help or learn more about the incredible work the refuge does, please consider visiting their page and supporting their fundraising efforts here. 🖤 Because magick means nothing if it doesn’t make the world a little kinder.

At VE Cosmetics, we believe compassion is the truest form of magick. We’ve recently donated several boxes of our eyeshadow palettes to Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue, who work tirelessly to care for injured, orphaned, and displaced animals along our local coastline. These palettes will be sold to raise vital funds for the rescue’s ongoing work helping them provide medical care, food, and safe release for the many creatures who find their way to their doors each year. If you’d like to support or learn more about their incredible work, please visit Cleethorpes Wildlife Rescue here. 🖤 Because beauty should always give something back — to people, to animals, and to the world we share.
