About Beauty Pie Cosmetics
Beauty Pie is a luxury direct-to-consumer beauty brand that sources their products directly from manufacturers, offering shockingly (in a good way) low prices for high-quality items. Their products are available for individual purchase, but they also offer memberships that come with many perks.
This Beauty Pie review has found features on the brand in top magazines like Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Allure, Vanity Fair, and Elle. They have an impressive (but not surprising) 225K followers on Instagram.
This Beauty Pie review will take a close look at the brand, their bestselling products, how their membership works, their promotions, and more to help you decide if their deals are as good as they look.
Overview of Beauty Pie Cosmetics
Founder of Beauty Pie Marcia Kilgore created the brand in London, England in 2016. Kilgore likely won’t need an introduction for many readers, but for those who don’t know, she is the beauty entrepreneur behind Bliss Spa, FitFlop footwear, Remède, Soap & Glory, and Soaper Duper.
Kilgore’s Beauty Pie company aims to make premium beauty and skincare accessible for everyone. They buy luxury, cutting-edge beauty products from the best cosmetic labs around the world in bulk, and then pass those savings on to the consumer.
Because Beauty Pie sells directly to the consumer they don’t need to meet margins. This inspires them to always search out the very best, whether from France, Switzerland, the US, Japan, or Korea. (These last two have produced two fan-favorite lines, the Beauty Pie Japanfusion and Beauty Pie Jeju collections.)
All Beauty Pie products are Clean Product-certified, vegan, and cruelty-free. If you want more proof of their bona fides, check out the Caroline Hirons Beauty Pie blog post, where the trained aesthetician with over 30 years experience in the beauty industry gives the lowdown on the brand.
Next up, this Beauty Pie review will go over some of the topline highlights of the brand before digging in deeper.

Beauty Pie Super Healthy Hair Detox Wash Shampoo Review
We eat right, exercise, and apply detox masks for our face regularly—but what about our hair? Sure, our normal shampoo works, just like our daily face wash works. But every now and again, we need something a little stronger.
Super Healthy Hair Detox Wash Shampoo contains the same ingredients we consume when doing a diet detox. Apple cider vinegar, activated charcoal, and Moringa seed peptides work together to cleanse, re-texture, and protect, resulting in shinier, smoother, and more voluminous hair, with color that pops.
Treat your hair to an at-home spa sesh with the Super Healthy Hair Detox Wash Shampoo for $30, or enjoy it for only $7 as a Beauty Pie member.
Beauty Pie Superactive Capsules Essential Ceramides Review
So often, we struggle with the Goldilocks dilemma when it comes to skincare: we can either use too much product, leading to heaviness, or too little, which won’t give us the effect we need.
Beauty Pie’s Superactive Capsules Essential Ceramides contain just the right, pre-measured dose of skin-hydrating formula, so you don’t have to guess if the blob on your finger is pea-sized or not. Ceramides make sure your skin’s natural barrier is in tip-top condition, so that all those other hydrating potions you use are actually effective.
These French-formulated Superactive Capsules Essential Ceramides capsules produce plump, dewy, and glowing skin, and also work to reduce signs of aging. Get these effective and portable capsules for $65, or $10 with a membership.
Beauty Pie Dr Glycolic Multi-Acid Micropeeling Pads Review
Cleansing pads are great for wiping away dirt, but they often leave your skin thirsty. Dr Glycolic Multi-Acid Micropeeling Pads removes dull, dead skin to give you that fresh and clean feeling without stripping away your skin’s moisture.
Enriched with glycolic acid and natural ingredients like lemon and bilberry to boost circulation, this top-notch Beauty Pie skincare product works to reduce clogged pores and provide a powerful cleaning experience for oily or acne-prone skin.
Use these twice a week to provide a clean foundation, and then apply your ideal look with one of the many Beauty Pie makeup palettes the brand has available. The Dr Glycolic Multi-Acid Micropeeling Pads are $32, or enjoy them for $10 as a member.
Beauty Pie Super Retinol Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream Review
The skin around our eyes is delicate and damages easily, especially with all that squinting, smiling, and the makeup we cake around them each day. Sometimes we look in the mirror and wonder how these wrinkles crept up so quickly. Surely, they shouldn’t be here yet?!
The Swiss-made Super Retinol Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream uses brightening retinol and hydrating hyaluronic acid and ficucell vita to add suppleness to your skin and decrease fine lines, helping you get back to the eyes you knew five years ago.
Once you’ve freshened up your peepers, try the Beauty Pie Wondercolorur Longwear Cream Eyeshadow Stick for a good-for-your-skin alternative to eyeshadow. And speaking of retinol, the Beauty Pie retinol hand cream delivers the same age-fighting effects for the delicate skin on your hands.
Turn back time with this anti-wrinkle Beauty Pie eye cream for $70, or $10 with a Beauty Pie membership. For the brand’s ultimate anti-aging treatment, try the Beauty Pie Triple Hyluronic Acid.
Beauty Pie Overnight Skin Perfector 2.0 Review
We can’t guard our skin 24 hours a day: while we peacefully slumber away, wrinkles, depigmentation, and skin irritation are creeping back. But don’t worry, the Overnight Skin Perfector 2.0 has got you covered, providing smoothing retinol and moisturizing Shea butter while protecting your skin’s sensitive microbiome.
This second edition of the Beauty Pie skinperfector took 18 months to develop, and is made from a Swiss-formulated mixture of caviar lime AHAs, argan oil, and panthenol to soothe, hydrate, and nourish your skin.
You can get the Overnight Skin Protector 2.0 for $75, or $11 as a member. It tends to sell quickly, so if you miss out a good alternative to try is the Beauty Pie Uber Youth serum.
Beauty Pie Superdose Vitamin C Bio-Vitamin Brightening Body Lotion Review
We all know how important vitamin C is when it comes to our health: we turn to it when we need to recover from an illness, as well as when we want to prevent one. But that’s for our immune system—what about our skin?
The Superdose Vitamin C Bio-Vitamin Brightening Body Lotion does the same work on our outside that vitamin C does on the inside, fighting off impaired cells and providing a healthy jolt to our skin’s microbiome with a mix of vitamin C, brown algae extract, and omega fatty acids.
The name doesn’t lie: this Beauty Pie moisturizer is a supercharged skin treatment, so it’s not suitable for those with vulnerable skin or psoriasis conditions. Get high-octane hydration with the Superdose Vitamin C Bio-Vitamin Brightening Body Lotion for $60, or $12 when you become a member.
Beauty Pie Pure Ceramides Elastic-Boost Eye Moisture Serum Review
An old-school solution for puffy eyes is to hold a spoon that’s been in the freezer under your eyes. Pure Ceramides Elastic-Boost Eye Moisture Serum works off of the same principle with its cooling rollerball, but also has a few extra elements that make a big difference in the long run.
While the refrigerated rollerball depuffs your peepers, potent ceramides and phytosqualane work to repair and retexture your skin’s barrier, so that your eye cream can do its job properly. Use this refreshing roller and then follow up with the Beauty Pie anti wrinkle eye cream for the best results.
Improve your skin’s tone, texture, firmness and elasticity with the Pure Ceramides Elastic-Boost Eye Moisture Serum for $50, or $7 as a member.
Beauty Pie Love Eau de Parfum Review
A great fragrance can brighten your mood and set the vibe for the day. Love Eau de Parfum envelops your senses with delicate and sophisticated notes of black orchid, bergamot, earthy cedar, and sandalwood for a classy but subtle everyday scent.
Made in France, the fragrance capital of the world, this perfume adds the perfect finish to your makeup routine. Spray it on after using the Beauty Pie plum eyeliner and Beauty Pie Naked Pink Future Lipstick and get ready to turn heads.
The Love Eau de Parfum is $125, or just $25 with a membership.
Beauty Pie Cosmetics Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
Is Beauty Pie any good? That’s the question this Beauty Pie review set out to answer, checking out customer reviews from beautypie.com, Trustpilot, and Reddit to see what people think about both their products and the benefits of their membership program.
On beautypie.com, the Pure Ceramides Elastic-Boost Eye Moisture Serum has an average rating of 4.3/5 stars based on 520 reviews. In addition to praising its effects, one customer noted that it was ideal for those with sensitive skin.
“Highly recommend to you if you haven’t been able to [use] eye creams/gels etc due to sensitivity. For me, over the years,it’s either get wrinkles,puffiness etc, or use a product but get hives through sensitivity! This hasn’t caused a reaction,and actually soothes my hayfever[y] eyes,” the user wrote.
Beauty Pie has an “Excellent” average rating of 4.6/5 stars from 8,415 reviews on Trustpilot. One commenter spoke to the advantages of the membership program.
“I have been a member of Beauty Pie for about 18 months now and many of their products are staples for me. I think it is excellent value for money and the company is constantly looking to bring out new products and have recently started doing collabs with makeup artists which I love.
“Some of the products haven’t been a hit for me but that is the risk you take with all beauty/skincare purchases so I don’t feel it is fair to hold this against the brand. Overall if you are looking to invest in your beauty/skincare routine I would say go for it!” the user wrote.
On a Beauty Pie reviews Reddit thread, commenters seconded the above opinion about the Beauty Pie membership structure. One loyal member spoke about how the membership spending limit gives customers a greater curatorial involvement in the products they buy.
“I don’t mind having my spending limited each month. In a culture currently a bit obsessed with consumerism, it’s actually quite healthy being restricted…They are constantly developing their product line and I’m excited to watch where it goes next,” she wrote.
Not everyone is quite as pleased with the membership structure, though. A one-star reviewer on Trustpilot found the spending limit to be frustrating. “They give you a spending allowance…Why put a limit on what customers order?…Their products are constantly out of stock,” they said.
Similarly, a Reddit commenter complained that, “I’ve had [a] membership for 4 months now and each month I’ve only been able to buy 3-4 products because of the retail price allowance…the process is a real bore.”
Obviously, not all programs like this are going to work for everyone. But Beauty Pie is upfront about the rules and restrictions of their membership, and given the incredible savings it offers it’s no wonder that they have to put a cap on what every member can purchase per month.
Also, the brand offers the option of an annual Beauty Pie gold membership, which gives you an unlimited spending limit. That pretty much addresses complaints like those above.
Are Beauty Pie Cosmetics Worth It?
In terms of the effectiveness of the brand’s products, this Beauty Pie review can tell that the company isn’t lying when they say they are sourcing high-quality beauty products. Getting a $70 eye cream for $8 is an incredible deal for a product that actually works.
The brand’s membership options are affordable, and negative reviews of them are mainly in regards to the monthly plan’s spending limit—which, to some, is actually a good thing. And as noted above, the annual plan removes that limit entirely, for customers who really want to go hog-wild.
This Beauty Pie review found that, in most cases, Beauty Pie products are effective, complaints about shipping or customer service are negligible, and any complaints that do come in are promptly addressed by the company. For all these reasons, this Beauty Pie review believes the brand is worth the buy.
Beauty Pie Cosmetics Promotions & Discounts
When you become a Beauty Pie member, you can purchase up to $150 worth of luxury beauty products for only $15/month. If you upgrade to the Beauty Pie Plus membership you have no monthly limits and it’s only costs $59/month!
You’ll also get points with the Beauty Pie refer a friend program, giving your pal $10 off their monthly membership. When your friend uses the Beauty Pie code in checkout and then remains an active member for 30 days, you will get an additional $50 added to your spending limit.
