Affiliate Disclosure

FTC COMPLIANT

Transparency is the foundation of Vampy Varnish. We believe you have the right to know exactly how this website is funded and how our recommendations are formed.

Amazon Associates Program

Vampy Varnish is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This comes at no extra cost to you—the price you see is the price you pay. These commissions help support our ability to purchase new collections for review and maintain the site.

How It Works

→ When you click a product link and make a purchase on Amazon, we earn a small commission (typically 1-4%)
→ You pay the exact same price whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon
→ Commissions support product purchases for testing, photography, and site maintenance

Editorial Independence

Our commitment to our readers is paramount. Here’s our pledge:

  • ❖ No pay-for-praise: We do not accept payment in exchange for positive reviews.
  • ❖ Content first, links later: Affiliate links are added only after content is written and products are selected by our editorial team.
  • ❖ Transparency on gifts: If a product was gifted by a brand for consideration, this is explicitly stated at the top of the review.
  • ❖ Negative reviews stay published: Commission potential never influences whether we publish critical reviews.
  • ❖ Budget-friendly options: We frequently recommend drugstore alternatives even when luxury items have higher commissions.

Other Affiliate Programs

Besides Amazon, we may participate in affiliate programs with:

  • • Specialty beauty retailers (Sephora, Ulta, etc.)
  • • Indie brand direct-to-consumer programs
  • • Beauty subscription services

All affiliate relationships are disclosed in accordance with FTC guidelines.

Your Choice

Using our affiliate links is entirely optional and appreciated, but never required. You’re free to search for products independently or shop wherever you prefer. Our goal is to provide honest information—where you choose to buy is up to you.
