The Beauty Products That I Buy On Repeat
...and *always* have backups of
This post is sponsored by Beauty Pie, which, seeing as I’m about to celebrate my five-year anniversary as a member - I am VERY chuffed about. Thanks, Beauty Pie!
Almost five years in and 37 orders later, I feel like I am well-versed to give you the Beauty Pie spiel. I always say it’s the one brand that’s most used among my friends, and if I’ve ever met you for longer than 10 minutes, then there’s a high chance that I’ve turned you on to the Beauty Pie Japanfusion Transforming Gel Cleanser (see below for more on that).
In a market with some of the highest mark-ups - typically 10-12x what the product costs to make - Beauty Pie shakes up the luxury beauty system by offering goods directly to their members but at a fair price. You pay for the membership and then get access to members prices across the board (👀 they are currently offering a free 60-day trial to new members 👀). We’re talking like a tenner for a cleanser. £8 for my favourite foot cream. My friend says she happily pays the membership because she can stock her beauty cupboards all year long, with GOOD STUFF without breaking the bank.
Beauty Pie products are made at some of the best labs in the world - just like your other beauty favourites - so you’re getting high-end items here, but you aren’t paying the big bucks you usually would. I’m often asked for my shopping list, so I trawled through my order history and here are the products I come back to time and time again…
SKIN
Beauty Pie The Perfect Eye Makeup Remover - Traditional retail price: £25 - Members Price: £12
Let’s start at step number one - eye makeup removal. It’s the first thing I use as part of my evening skincare routine if I’ve been wearing mascara, and it just gets the job done. It doesn’t sting or make my eyes blurry, and it’s far more affordable than I used before. I’ve already got a backup waiting to go.
Beauty Pie Japanfusion Pure Transforming Cleanser - Traditional retail price: £25 - Members price: £10
I mean. This product. THIS PRODUCT. I have been through countless tubes of it - double digits, in fact. It’s my favourite cleanser on the market, and it’s £10!!!! It goes on like a gel and transforms into an oil, cleaning your skin without ever making it feel stripped. Even just this past weekend, a friend told me how good that ‘goop in the pink tube’ is.
Beauty Pie Double-Sided Organic Cleansing & Exfoliating Cloths - Traditional retail price: £18 - Members price: £7.50
Speaking of cleansers. These are a newer purchase for me but I recently upgraded my cleaning cloths because my previous ones had got a little grim. These are fab because one side is soft flannel and the other a slightly more exfoliating muslin. I’m personally team soft.
Beauty Pie Superdrops Brightening Niacinamide Serum - Traditional retail price: £60 - Members price: £15
There really isn’t much that niacinamide doesn’t do. Suitable for all skin types, this formula contains antioxidants, skin-soothers, and a natural peptidic surfactant to help prevent breakouts. I like it because it’s so thin - which means that it layers up well in a routine and doesn’t do that annoying pilling thing. I use five-ish drops post-cleanser, pre-moisturiser.
Beauty Pie Awesome Bronze Self-Tanning Drops - Traditional retail price: £40 - Members price: £12.50
I’m in two years deep with this product. I’ve used it since they first launched it as part of a summer collection, but thankfully it was here to stay because this is yet another product that I’ve gone through multiples of. I take one pipette full and apply it all over my face post-skincare, mostly in the evenings, but you could do it in the mornings too. I wake up with a sunkissed-glow that never looks orange. I genuinely feel sad when I forget to use it.
FRAGRANCE
Beauty Pie La Botanista De Parfum - Traditional retail price: £120 - Members price: £33
It’s wild that this is my most expensive Beauty Pie favourite, and it’s still like half the price of one of my other most-loved fragrances. They aren’t messing around! If you’re into light, fresh perfumes, this is one for you. To be honest, it’s definitely more of a spring/summer scent to me, given the leafy green top notes and mossy base. But as someone who can get real nauseous off of fragrance, I can confirm that this passes the test with flying colours.
MAKEUP
Beauty Pie Luminous Mineral Skin Tint SPF 40 Sunscreen (I wear Light/Medium) - Traditional retail price: £40 - Members price: £16.50
I rate all of Beauty Pie’s base products, to be honest, but this one comes out top for giving a fresh, glowy finish with just the right hint of coverage - for me, anyway. It’s the type of light and creamy formula that you can throw on with your hands if you want or build up a little with a brush. I’ve never tried a skin tint like this that’s under £25 - let alone £16.50.
Beauty Pie Pro Angled Contour Brush - Traditional retail price: £38 - Members price: £12
I use this brush every single time I wear makeup. Every. Single. Time. If you wear mainly cream cheek products, then I’d be bumping this up to the top of your shopping list. I use it for a cream bronzer/contour product, and it hugs the cheekbones so well and just applies creams like a dream. I’m never without it.
Beauty Pie The Perfect Waterproof Mascara - Traditional retail price: £28 - Members price: £12
If I’m wearing mascara, it’s a waterproof formula. It’s the only thing that holds a curl in my lashes, and I’ll happily take a bit of an elongated removal process for a little lift. This one gives volume if you want it, but I tend to apply just the tiniest amount and brush it through the lengths of my lashes with a clean spoolie for a more feathered look. It’s nice to have options.
BODY
Beauty Pie Footopia Super Softening Foot & Heel Cream - Traditional retail price: £25 - Members price: £8
To me, the footcare section of Beauty Pie holds some uncovered GEMS, like this foot cream that’s under a tenner. It's a little minty and absorbs well without making you feel like you’re about to do a banana peel comedy slip. I’ll pop it on before bed and then put on some socks. By the morning, they are baby-soft.
Beauty Pie Dr Glycolic Soft Feet 7-Day Acid Peel Socks - Traditional retail price: £12 - Members price: £6
Ok, these are gross. They just are!! You know those little booties you put on, and then for a week, you think nothing has happened, but then out of nowhere, you start shedding your old foot skin like a snake - THESE ARE THEM. I do sheds twice a year. One pre-summer and one pre-winter, and they work. Almost too well. I’d ensure you leave two solid weeks between using these and any foot-showing events you’re prepping for.
HAIR
Beauty Pie Super Healthy Hair Seven Oil Hair Elixir - Traditional retail price: £35 - Members price: £15
I wouldn’t say I’m the biggest fan of hair oils. My hair tends to err on the greasy side of things, so I’m never big on adding MORE oil into the mix. However, this one is nice and light and a good refresher when you’ve gone in hard with the dry shampoo and need to pay attention to your dry ends.
Beauty Pie Silk Hair Scrunchies - Traditional retail price - £28 - Members price: £16.50
These are a last-minute addition, but how could I forget them? I’m literally wearing one right now! They are the only hair scrunchies I own. They aren’t super thick, so they are quite discreet, and they hold my hair pretty tight whilst still being kind to my lengths.
…and if you want to treat yourself, I’d be adding the ‘Super Beauty Holiday Haul’ to your basket, which contains 14 full-size products - many of which are mentioned here - for, drumroll please - £175 (it has a traditional retail price of £645)!!! Beauty Pie - you’ll forever have a place in my beauty cupboard.
