Read this whole thing please!

First, a few important reminders from Beauty Pie HQ.

Ever wonder why we don't plaster the internet with giant "Summer Sale" banners? Simple: we don't inflate our prices by 1200% just to fake a bargain.

At Beauty Pie, members get below-wholesale pricing every single day. Honest insider prices 365 days a year will always beat waiting around for a beauty sale.

Skip the markup games. Enjoy luxury value every day.

Speaking of things that deserve more attention:

If you have not tried this evening routine, please do. On clean skin:

Any Beauty Pie Microencapsulated Retinoid. (I'm currently using YouthBomb Extreme.) If you're new here, try Super Retinal.

A few drops of YouthBomb Renewal Oil. (Whoa.)

A generous dollop of Shinkai Electrolyte Drench. Or Micro Caviar Mask. Or your favourite moisturiser here.

Seven hours of sleep, minimum. (Seriously, this matters.)

That's it. (You can do your Vitamin C in the morning.)

Now for an important handbag inventory question.

Which of the new Futurelipstick Deluxe Shine shades has taken up permanent residence in yours?

At the moment I'm rotating between Slip and Instinct. Also Peach Time Lip Butter keeps sneaking in. And then there's West Coast Nude Shine Up. Is this excessive?

Do I care? Absolutely not. I just add blush.

On my last Instagram Live someone commented that they hadn't realised we'd launched a Protein Powder.

Entirely our fault. We were so busy chasing our Chollagen Collagen Powder supplier for restock dates that we clearly forgot to make enough noise about it. Apologies. It's excellent. 

Another thing filling our DMs? Questions about weight loss affecting your hair or face. 

The existing skincare mantra is still relevant here. Vitamins A, B and C. Peptides. SPF. LED if you have one. (If you haven't, you've got that July Member Credit for one.) 

You can also go 'inside-out' here. Our hair-bulb-nourishing Renewed Density Capsules and Skin Elasticity Support Capsules have become favurites for exactly this reason. 

Talking of hair...

Every so often I rediscover Elastic Repair Hair Treatment and remember just how ridiculously good it is.

LashFuel devotees. We know you've been asking. Yes, she's back.

Also.

Some of you will have seen Saskia’s Instagram post (our Director of New Product Development) about our Jumbo Self-Tanning Body Lotion. 

Yes, it's essentially the same formula as that other self-tanner. Yes, it's made by the same brilliant British supplier. Yes, ours is $18 and theirs is $68. Some people seem very offended by this. 

But that, in one bottle, is the entire Beauty Pie story. Access to the very best labs in the business, without the traditional beauty industry price tag.

Thank you, as always, for being an enthusiastic member of our club, where all the smart people (you, obviously) shop for beauty products now.
