Vegan Avenue

I am Liis. Vegan entrepreneur, animal lover, and advocate for sustainable and minimalist living. And editor-in-chief for Vegan Avenue.

When I went vegan 8 years ago, I struggled to keep up with everything a vegan lifestyle entails. Finding recipes was easy, finding vegan shoes or makeup – not so much. But I believed in the movement and did not want to cut any corners.

Today, things look very different. You can get lost in the sea of vegan fashion and beauty brands you would love to support. So you face a new problem: what to leave and what to take?

Vegan Avenue In A Nutshell

Vegan Avenue is a vegan beauty and lifestyle magazine. Vegan Avenue is your guide to vegan beauty, fashion & nutrition. Vegan Avenue was launched in 2021 by Liis Hainla.

Vegan Avenue helps you make the best vegan beauty and fashion choices. Be it vegan skincare, vegan makeup, vegan fashion or vegan nutrition. See more on how we review our products and brands.

One thing I know is true: veganism does not limit your life, it enhances it. Once you leave animals out of your dinner table and makeup case, you will feel cleansed. Both physically and emotionally. And you never want to go back.

Our integrity is not for sale

Sometimes, when we link to products, we may receive a commission from the products we are linking to. This, however, doesn’t mean that we will list companies that have sketchy moral and ethical stances.

We will only list vegan products to the best of our capabilities. We cannot guarantee that we won’t make a mistake, however, we can guarantee we will not feature a nonvegan product to receive compensation.

We are devoted to putting the spotlight on vegan companies that have a mission and provide the best possible vegan products for that category.
