The world’s pain is networked  and so must be our care. From Gaza to Congo, from Haiti to Hawai‘i, we look at what binds the world’s wounds. 🕯️ May empathy be the spell that saves us all.

Because silence helps no one except those who benefit from the violence. To anyone reading this who feels as helpless and heartbroken as I do: you’re not alone. Your rage matters. Your grief matters. And if you still care — deeply, loudly, and inconveniently — then you are exactly what the world needs right now. We don’t need to be perfect. We just need to refuse to go quiet.

🖤 VE Cosmetics at The House of Lords – A Pledge Against Bloodsports 🖤 This past week has been surreal in the best way — VE Cosmetics was invited to the House of Lords to publicly pledge our stance against bloodsports. But let’s be clear: this isn’t just about “not hunting.”It’s about refusing to align with any company, brand, or system that profits from or promotes cruelty — whether through hunting, shooting, or animal fighting. This is a zero-tolerance vow. A mark of ethical rebellion. We proudly signed the Business Without Bloodsports pledge alongside The League Against Cruel Sports, solidifying what we’ve stood for since day one: no animal should ever suffer for profit, power, or pleasure. As a vegan-owned, witch-run brand, we’ve always used our platform to advocate for more than just lipstick. This is about justice, ethics, and accountability — for animals, for the environment, and for every conscious consumer who deserves better. You’ll now see the official pledge badge displayed on our site — a sigil of our continued commitment to cruelty-free living and fearless transparency. 🕯️ Beauty shouldn’t come with blood on its hands. And with VE Cosmetics — it never will.   #VECosmetics #HouseOfLords #AntiBloodsports #CrueltyFreeAlways #WitchOwned #VeganBeauty #GothicEthics #TheLeagueAgainstCruelSports #BeautyWithoutBlood

🖤 Giving Back This Yule – A Little Magick Shared 🖤 At VE Cosmetics, we’ve never just been about makeup — we’re about making a difference. Real beauty is rooted in compassion, and this Yule, we had the honour of giving a little magick back. This year, we donated over £1,000 worth of stock to families who were struggling to put gifts under the tree. In a world that often feels cold and unjust, being able to bring even a flicker of warmth, joy, and relief has been the greatest gift we could ask for. We know it’s not much in the grand scheme of things — but if it helped ease even a little bit of worry, then it was worth every spell, swipe, and sleepless night. 🕯️ Thank you for supporting this brand and allowing us to pay it forward.Wishing you a Blessed Yule and a New Year filled with light, strength, and shadow-kissed kindness. #VECosmetics #YuleBlessings #GothicHeart #GiveBackWithMagick #VeganBeauty #WitchOwned #CrueltyFreeKindness #BeautyWithPurpose #EthicalGlamour
