Beauty Pie is a buyers club for beauty addicts. Basically you get access to luxury products from the worlds leading labs for less money. There are multiple layers of membership. You can pay $5/mo for $50 spending limit, $10/mo for $100, $20/mo for 200 or $99/yr for $100 and two months free. Beauty Pie sources their products from 20 world leading labs that make many of the worlds luxury products. Ultimately the idea is that you get a product made from the same lab as a luxury brand for less. You're essentially paying for the membership to have access to it. It’s a UK based brand.
Some of the small details are you have to do a 3 month minimum then you can cancel. You have to pay shipping every time you order. If you like skincare don't get the $5 membership. All the good skincare requires at least a $100 spending limit if not stacking two months or more to get it. So you can stack your credit meaning you can pay $30 for three months (you have to wait three months to redeem your product) but then you get $300 worth of credit. You also only pay shipping once then as well. Your $300 worth of credit is at the reduced product price.
So for example of the Superactive Capsules it lists the typical price as $65 but you pay $12.38. So it uses $65 of you spending credit and you have to pay $12.38 plus shipping. Details per Beauty Pie:
Our super-targeted ‘one-shot’ face serum capsules hold high doses of stable actives, so you can ‘up your skincare ante’ as-and-when-needed, with a simple twist, squeeze and tap. With mixed dehydrated Hyaluronic Acid Microspheres, for instant plumping, smoothing and hydrating, and bio-identical pentapeptide 8 and tetrapeptide 8, to help prevent the formation of the skin’s internal aging enzymes. (Show us any skincare junkie who doesn’t need these.)
Key Ingredients
- DEHYDRATED HYALURONIC ACID MICROSPHERES which absorb into the skin and then- diffuse over 1-2 hours to hydrate, plump and smooth the skin’s surface
- BIOPEPTIDES IN MICROSPONGES - A dual-peptide system with Pentapeptide-8 and Myristoyl Tetrapeptide 8, for a long term effect, these yeast-derived bio-identical peptides are bonded to a lipophilic group to help penetrate the stratum corneum, and are included to help prevent premature aging of the skin by matrix metalloproteases
- A multi-functional silicone copolymer foundation-priming base gives an immediate blurring effect on fine lines and wrinkles

The pink capsules are neat. Twist off the top to use the single use vial. The texture is thicker. It's hydrating but with a very silicone heavy texture. I liked to mix it in with a serum as a booster. I loved the idea but honestly the silicone/dimethicone was too high for me and it was not my favorite. I loved the idea of a peptide and sodium hyaluronate booster though.
Next I tried Super Stem Cell Moisture Shot Serum. Details per Beauty Pie:
Absorb enough of it, and your face will look amazing. Exactly why we got so excited when we first tried this Swiss-formulated, special Korean aloe-vera-infused super fluid moisture serum. It's ultra-lightweight, quick-sinking, full of skin-protective plant cells, layers under (or over) anything else you might want to use it with, and is loaded with free-radical fighting tomato and daphne stem-cell extracts to fight oxidation, dehydration, inflammation (and promote detoxification).
Key Benefits
A must-have in any girl’s skincare lineup to combat sun, A/C, and winter!
- Aloe-vera-infused super fluid moisture serum
- Helps to prevent premature aging
- Helps to protect from air pollution
- Full of skin-protective plant extracts

The serum has a hydrating feel and it's housed in a super luxe glass bottle. Beauty Pie packaging is actually spot on. It's heavy duty, luxe, has a minimalist aesthetic. I actually really like their packaging. This serum feel hydrating going on but it has a bit of a silicone texture that didn't play well with everything else unless I let it fully sink in for five minutes. I ended up not using it as much as the other. It does have prickly pear, tomato leaf cell cultures & aloe but the silicone texture is what killed this one for me.
Jeju Daily Antioxidant Superinfusion was one of my favorites from this haul. Details per Beauty Pie:
Pollution, smog, sun, sleep, stress, this quick-sinking superinfusion essence is like…
A rapid response rescue team for tired and stressed skin. Active-packed,with Korean super ingredient JEJU Green Tea Glycoprotein. Our Jeju Daily Antioxidant Superinfusion™ essence instantly soothes, hydrates and energizes, for a brighter, dewier, fresher face.

This is more of an essence style product. It's thinner texture (but still thick enough to be a serum) with a hydrating refreshing feel. It's got prickly pear, tomato leaf culture & jeju green tea glycoproteins. It has a fragranced scent but it's light. There is denatured alcohol and dimethicone in this one but it feels light, sinks in and has no issues layering with other products or drying me out. It feels like an essence.
I also grabbed two hand creams and a lipstick. The makeup is an easy way to add in something small to your order. I grabbed the Futurelipstick Luxe Shine in Nothing Nude. Details per Beauty Pie:
This super deluxe, high-shine moisturizing lipstick was created by our favourite elite Italian lab, with precious oils for a buttery feel, smoothing gloss finish, and ultra-shiny shine.
This is your typical glossy hydrating lipstick. It's almost a butter texture lipstick meaning it's soft and hydrating. It melts into the lips like butter. Nothing Nude is a slightly shimmery pinked nude. It's glossy, hydrating and has a slim case. It's nice.
The Super Retinol Anti-Aging Hand Treatment is a lightweight cream. Details per Beauty Pie:
It's not everybody that needs this amazing Swiss formula slow-release retinol hand cream treatment. But when no amount of moisturizing rolls them back to how you remember them, or if that 'little bit' too much sun is starting to spill the beans (you'll see it as sun spots) buy a few tubes, apply it every evening, and watch them refresh.
Key Benefits
- MICRO-ENCAPSULATED RETINOL COMPLEX – which helps reduce the visible signs of aging – wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Retinol increases the exfoliation rate, bringing younger cells to the surface of the skin
- BIO-TECHNICAL PSEUDO-COLLAGEN – makes skin smoother, softer and plumper, due to its excellent moisture-binding capacity and smoothing effect on the skins surface
- BIO-SUGAR MOISTURE MAGNETS (5%)– delivers long-term moisturization, hydrating and a remarkable silky feel
- SHEA BUTTER – is nourishing, softening, moisturizing and restructuring, and smoothes and supports dry skin

This I bought as a hopeful cheaper replacement to my EVE LOM hand treatment. It's got a hydrating light creamy texture that sinks in quickly but still hydrates. It's got a slick kind of texture. It's non-greasy as well. For retinol I find it gentle and non-irritating. I also found I still liked my EVE LOM more. It was more effective than this version. I'll use this one up but it's not a cheaper replacement.
The Plantastic Nourishing Shea Butter Hand Cream is my favorite that I picked from this round. Details per Beauty Pie:
Quite possibly the world’s best hand cream. Specially formulated with high-performance soothing skin care naturals-organic shea butter, aloe, chamomile flower extract and antioxidant portulaca-vita – this gorgeous non-greasy, rich moisturizer is a one-stop-shop for the softest, smoothest hands you’ve ever had.

This has a light yet rich and supremely hydrating texture. It has a great slip to it, it's not greasy and hydrates really well. I really adore this hand cream. It's probably one of my top favorites I've ever tried. It's really quite good. Overall I'm really interested to go through the Beauty Pie line. It's not as cheap as I thought it would be. Mostly because of the shipping and cost for every item in addition to the membership fee. I find waiting a few months and stacking the buying power helps plus then you're only paying shipping once versus every month.
Not every item has been the most superb item. Some of them have just been OK meaning worth what I paid for it but not a fantastic savings. I found this first round very silicone heavy. Beauty Pie is a fantastic concept, I'm interested in the idea, I want to run through the full line, plus it's different. Many of the products in my first purchase round had a lot of silicone and I wasn't into the texture but the second round was better (more next month hopefully on the second round).
