The Stripe

I have been a big fan of Beauty Pie for so long now, and am excited to team up with them today to talk about some favorites (both old and new!) AND to give 10 lucky readers a complimentary Beauty Pie membership (valued at $99 – scroll to the bottom of the post to enter!).

I’ve talked about Beauty Pie for years and am such a fan of their business model. It’s the first ever membership club for beauty lovers and also the brainchild of Marcia Kilgore (she is brilliant – she also founded Bliss and Soap & Glory… love this interview with her), Beauty Pie is a members club where you can buy luxury and high-tech beauty products across every category (skincare! cosmetics! hair and body! fragrance! candles! supplements launching next month!) at lab direct prices. So you pay for a membership but then can purchase products at incredibly low member prices.

Also! Use code GRACESENTME – you’ll get the first month of your membership for free! Expires 9/10/21.

Beauty Pie Favorites, Old + New

I tried a lot of skincare products this go around and definitely have some new favorites!!!! These two are an absolute MUST, in my book!

Uber Youth Complexion Multi Action Ampoules.

Wow. These ampoules are incredible. They may be Beauty Pie’s most high-tech anti-aging product and my understanding is that they constantly sell out so now is the time to order them! Each pack contains ten ampoules. They recommend doing an ampoule 1-2x a week *or* using the whole pack over 20 days (every other night). They are packed with anti-aging goodness. Each ampoule contains a professional-strength, super-active mix of Retinoid, Vitamin C, Peptides, Zinc, Copper and Hyaluronic Acid. Apply all over the face, neck, and decolletage before bedtime (under your favorite serum and moisturizer) for noticeably brighter, smoother, even skin the next day. Would typically retail for $125; members pay $23.67.

And for daytime I have been LOVING their Japanfusion™ Genius Lift Elixir.

This stuff is magical. I have been using it every morning before moisturizer and am shocked by how much better my skin looks *immediately* after applying this. The lifting benefits are noticeable (I make sure to really massage it into my jawline and then use upward strokes on the rest of my face) and it also gives skin such a nice GLOW. Radiant, dewy, plumped up skin… this is one of the best new products I have tried all spring and summer. I cannot recommend it enough. After the ampoules, this is hands down my favorite thing I tried from Beauty Pie. It’s also packed with good for you things like Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid. Would typically retail for $40; members pay $8.71.

Last but not least on the skincare front, you already know how much I love their retinol products and the Super Retinol (+ Vitamin C) Night Renewal Moisturizer is such an incredible product.

I have talked about this a bunch before but it’s one of the best retinols I have tried. Encapsulated Retinol resurfaces skin and helps to fade fine lines, Shea Butter nourishes, and then Vitamins E, C, and Ferulic + Hyaluronic Acids help to plump and hydrate the skin. I find that this retinol is just as effective but less irritating than other retinol serums thanks to Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid. Would typically retail for $80; members pay $13.61.

I could write sonnets about Beauty Pie’s Super Retinol Hand Treatment.

This is an old favorite. It is the best hand cream you’ll ever use, in my opinion. I feel like we (or at least I) take such good care of the skin on our faces but can neglect our hands! Beauty Pie describes this as like dipping your hands in the Fountain of Youth and I agree. It’s formulated in Switzerland with the most effective, targeted and encapsulated Retinol, biotech Pseudo-Collagen and Shea Butter, it helps brighten sun-spots, re-elasticize skin and deeply moisturize. I like to use it before bed. Since it has retinol I don’t recommend it for day! Keep it on your nightstand and thank me later. Typical Price: $58 // Member Price: $8.98

On the makeup front, I have 2 very important products to talk about – new favorites!

One Palette Wonder™ in “Cool Neutrals.”

This is the perfect palette for travel and beyond. The bronzer, blush, and highlighter are all you really need for face… and the eyeshadows easily blend for daytime or nighttime! Typical price: $45 // Member price: $8.97

Velvety™ Matte Lip Crayon (Nude Go-To is my fav).

This crayon is identical to a crayon from another much more expensive brand that I love. It’s matte and velvety (per the product name, haha) but not at all drying. This color is the perfect rosy nude! Typical Price: $22 // Member price: $6.13

Lastly, Beauty Pie’s candles!

I burn a lot of candles so in my opinion a Beauty Pie membership would be worth it for the candles alone (but don’t do that – try their other products!!!) They sent me the Red Currant & Fig candle and it’s heaven. The perfect combination of sweet fig + warm musk and sandalwood.  I love all their candles though.. Clean House and the Sweet Tobacco, Cedarwood, + Vanilla one are my other favorites. Sidenote: The Red Currant & Fig is almost sold out.. their Bahia de Miel would be a good alternative!

I love this lip pencil so much – it’s velvety and smooth and gives you a matte look without any dryness.

Lastly! Beauty Pie is generously giving TEN of you a one year membership! This is a $99 value. Just enter using the widget below. Get bonus entries for following them on Instagram.
