When we think about “trending” makeup, we often forget that some of the biggest trends started from the minds of creative individuals on Etsy. Take the original unicorn highlighter, for example.
Etsy is a go-to platform for unique handmade crafts, and makeup is no exception. And if you’re someone who loves trying new, innovative products, that are also natural and cruelty-free — Etsy may just be the right place!

Are you sick of Unicorn products yet? Nope? That’s what we thought. Miss Violet Lace sells a variety of different vegan skincare, beauty, and even wigs but one of their most popular items would have to be Unicorn Sparkle Shimmer Water.
Like the name would suggest, this product is basically a bottle of iridescent, sparkly purple shimmer. So if you’re looking for a good sparkle this summer, this product should be on your shopping list. Shop Miss Violet Lace here.
