What seemed too good to be true had me asking: What the hell qualifies as a “luxury” product? How the hell does this membership really work? Should I be tossing my VIB Rouge card in the garbage? I went on a mission to find out. “Beauty Pie products are produced at the world’s leading luxury cosmetics and skincare labs and manufacturers. We currently produce products in France, Korea, Italy, Germany, the UK and the USA. Each of our individual item pages states the country of origin of the product featured.” Super vague, but I’ll roll with it. That sounds a like a shit ton of makeup at first, but this allowance isn’t based on those super cheap factory costs. They’re based on the competitive luxury prices. Woof. To someone who already owns all of these things and isn’t exactly sure what products they should have faith in, determining where to spend those precious allowance bucks can feel as dire as choosing a last meal. The added price of these four items at factory cost plus my $10 monthly fee added up to a cool $25.45 — after shipping, I paid $30 even. Sure, they’re cheap, but I have to ask: Are these products up to par? Because if they aren’t, I’m going to riot. Just kidding. But I will cancel my membership. Despite the lack of heft, however, every item is beautifully sleek and minimal. Would I pay the competitive price of $44 for it? Probably not. Is it worth it’s alleged $38 competitive price point? Absolutely not. Beauty Pie’s competitive price for this liner is $22. Does it live up to my similarly priced, tried-and-true Kat Von D Tattoo Liner? HELL NO. This lipstick formula bears a heavy resemblance to Rimmel’s $5 creamy, matte lipsticks. That being said, I would never in a million years pay Beauty Pie’s competitive price of $25 for this one. At the end of the day, these products are pretty good! But they aren’t great, either. Everything felt very generic, and I’m sure if put to the test against brand-name luxury makeup, Beauty Pie would lose. And about those low factory costs — budgeted beauty lovers could definitely find these same exact items (if not better ones) for a buck or two more at the drugstore. That being said, I’ll definitely be canceling my membership. Sorry not sorry, Beauty Pie.
