I recently stumbled upon Beauty Pie and my life has been forever changed.
Have you heard of this yet? Beauty Pie has been talked about in Vogue, Harperโs Bazaar, Glamour and Cosmopolitan. Grab a cuppa sister and read on, because what I am about to share with you is the most innovative business idea ever to hit the cosmetic industry and you need to know about it.
We all know in the deepest recesses of our minds, the fact that cosmetic laboratories around the world formulate the same products for multiple brands. It stings, doesn’t it? The fact that the high-end foundation that you just spent a week’s worth of grocery money on, may end up on the shelf of your local drugstore, under a different name with new packaging. The pain is real- and It HURTS me. Way down deep in my pocketbook.
Enter: Beauty Pie: “A Buyers Club For Beauty Addicts”.
Beauty Pie is the brain child of Marcia Kilgore, the woman behind Bliss, Soap & Glory, FitFlop and Soaper Duper. She’s a sought after Hollywood facialist turned savvy beauty entrepreneur. This is a beauty guru who knows her stuff. Most of what she touches turns to gold in the cosmetic industry, and this new way of selling luxury cosmetics is completely revolutionary.
The concept is extremely simple for us Americans to wrap our brains around because we all belong to Costco or some other buyers club, to help us pay less for our everyday items.
Beauty Pie is sourcing luxury formulas from the best factories around the world and then packaging them in their own minimalist, chic packaging.


They cut out the middleman and give you complete transparency in pricing.
For instance, my high-end, anti-aging moisturizer made in Switzerland, which would typically run me $165.00 cost me a grand total of $10.67.
That is not a typo, ladies.
I’ve been using the anti-aging cream twice a day for about a week and it definitely compares with other Swiss luxury brands.
It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid, collagen precursors, face sculpting proteins, and antioxidants as well as pollution blockers, free radical battlers, stem cell re-energizers and plant actives.
Whats IN the formulation is just as impressive as whats NOT in it. No Sulphates, Phthalates, Parabens, Mineral oil, Benzophenone, Cocoamide DEA, Polyethylene, Formaldehyde, Triclosan, Methylisothiazolinone (MIT), Cyclodimethicone (D5), Animal derivatives, Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB).
You can find the formula comparisons with a bit of googling if you care to. For instance, the Everyday Great Skin Foundation is basically the exact same as Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. The cost from Beauty Pie- $5.90 vs. the Armani on Sephora- $64. I KNOW, right??? Where have you been all my life!
And hey- if it’s good enough for Bobbi Brown– it’s good enough for me you know what I’m sayin’? She recently told “Racked”: โ… I think the new Beauty Pie is quite interesting and the products are actually really good.โ In addition, UK beauty expert India Knight wrote: “The USP with Beauty Pie is that these are really top-class products…the brand is nailing it with skincare.”
How Beauty Pie Works:
M. Kilgore works with the chemists and manufacturers behind luxury brands and has them create formulas for Beauty Pie. They source from the best luxury suppliers in Italy, Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, USA, UK, Korea and Japan.
*You join the membership for $10 per month.
*You can shop for up to $100 worth of luxury skincare and makeup each month.
*You pay only the actual factory cost prices plus shipping and handling.
Beauty Pie Packaging
If I’m being honest, I’ll have to admit to buying beauty products more than once based solely on the pretty packaging. I wondered if Beauty Pie would leave me feeling like I was carrying around a fake Chanel handbag. I mean sure- I love to save a buck but what about the FEEL of opening the beautiful packaging. Let’s face it, there’s something so luxurious about having a beautiful ornate lipstick case rolling around in your handbag.
Would Beauty Pie crush my soul with sad, boring packaging?
I was pleasantly surprised when my order arrived from Europe in less than two weeks.
The thoughtful packaging has a minimalist look but is still sleek and feminine. The packaging of most cosmetics costs WAY more than the actual product and most of that isn’t recyclable and will end up in landfills. So thank you Beauty Pie for producing these formulations in packaging that is recyclable as well as aesthetically pleasing.
My honest opinion is that I am as excited as can be with this new way of selling cosmetics and skin care directly to the consumer. The products I’ve used are definitely comparable to luxury brands. The number of products available is growing each month. I think this will definitely be a business to watch.
I think this will definitely be a business to watch. It’s new, it’s daring and it definitely appeals to my inner beauty junkie. I can’t wait to place another order next month.

Well well, this is an interesting concept isnt it. I have heard about Beauty Pie here in the UK, but to be honest, never really looked into it. You have wrote a great review here, so I will investigate it further for sure. Sounds great!
Thanks Kerry. I adore a great business idea that answers a real problem. So far I am incredibly pleased with my entire experience with this company. Let me know what you think. Their FAQ is incredibly detailed and transparent.Thanks for the lovely comment!

I love Marcia Kilgore! She gave me my first ever facial! I used to live near the first Bliss Spa in NY many moons ago, and that’s where it all went down. She is a seriously sharp and entrepreneurial businesswoman…. all the love for her, and I totally can’t wait to try this once I work my current stash of beauty products down to a slightly less embarrassing level. Thanks for such a good review of this creme… I’m sure I need it ๐ xx
“She gave me my first facial!” I’m sorry- could you BE any cooler?:-D I just could not love this business idea more. I trust her to put together the very best products and the prices are SO low that of COURSE I’m going to buy a stash every month. What have I got to lose? Check it out- but be warned- this company will NOT help you lessen your stash.:-D
Thanks lovely,
Melissa
Hehe can I be a real name dropper and say that I MET Marcia at a panel talk I attended in Cambridge in June… She and I had a great chat and we’ve been conversing by email since (I think I trumped you there, Sparkles ?) – she was an absolute hoot, what a woman!
I have a subscription to Beauty Pie – so far I’ve only tried a few makeup bits but the mascara is the absolute BOMB. So is the highlighter. Can’t wait to try the face creams that you’ve mentioned Melissa – loved this review, I’m excited about the whole thing too!

(Sparkles is Lisa AKA The Sequinist btw, we do know each other well)
Catherine-
Isn’t it just the most fabulous idea? I’m trying some of the makeup next.
You ladies are completely fabulous! Here you are chatting with Marcia Kilgore and there’s Sparkles posting a pic of herself standing with Yasmin Lebon on Instagram! I feel like life is more exciting there than in Utah, lol.

I will definitely check it out! xx

Never heard of this, but looks interesting and worth trying out. Thanks for sharing.
I have heard of Beauty Pie before but haven’t tried anything yet. Definitely one on my list for when I move to London in two months!
Thanks for reminding me ๐

This sounds really good. I’m going to check it out! xx
Have not heard of this before but the prices sound amazing! Thank you for finding something like this for people who don’t have the big bucks to spend.
Thanks Carrie! I am one of those people too, lol. And if the fabulous Marcia Kilgore says we don’t need to spend big bucks to achieve high end results- then I’m all over it! Thanks for the comment!
