Brands that send PR

Hey beauties! Ever dreamt of unboxing those incredible PR packages you see all over your feed? Well, guess what – it's totally achievable, and I'm here to spill the tea on how *I* started getting amazing free makeup and skincare from some of my favorite brands! You absolutely don't need millions of followers; many brands are actively looking to collaborate with micro-influencers, even those with just a few hundred engaged followers, like the '100-1000 Followers' often targeted for these campaigns. So, how do you get on these coveted PR lists? First, authenticity and engagement are key! Brands want to see that you genuinely love and use their products, and that your audience trusts your recommendations. Start by consistently creating high-quality content – reels, TikToks, Lemon8 posts – showcasing your passion for beauty. Tag the brands you adore, and engage with their content and community. When it comes to specific beauty companies that send PR packages, the list is wonderfully diverse! I've been lucky enough to receive goodies from several incredible companies. For instance, Rare Beauty is a standout; their "Soft Pinch Dewy Liquid Blush" is iconic, and their packages often come with heartfelt notes from Selena, emphasizing self-love and diversity, which truly resonates. They definitely pay attention to creators who align with their values. If you're looking for other great blush brands, NYX Professional Makeup is fantastic and often sends a wide array of makeup products, from blushes to new releases like their blur screens. R.E.M. Beauty also has amazing satin matte bronzers and blushes, and their packages are always so creative! Beyond makeup, skincare is another huge area for PR. I've been thrilled to receive packages from Mario Badescu, packed with essentials like their facial spray, drying lotion, hydrating hand cream, lip mask, and eye gel – often with a focus on acne combat. Frilliance sent over some amazing pimple patches, lip gloss, and illuminating cream – perfect for a quick glow-up. And for those luxury self-care moments, brands like Summer Fridays occasionally send their beloved "Lip Butter Balm" in different shades, which is always a treat. Other notable beauty brands I've seen or personally received PR from include Dominique Cosmetics for stunning makeup collections like brow pencils, LYS Beauty for their inclusive range of bronzers, and Beauty Creations for their innovative products like "Bye Filler" talc-free setting powder. These companies understand the power of authentic word-of-mouth marketing and are keen to get their beauty products into the hands of passionate creators. To increase your chances, consider creating a simple media kit. This doesn't have to be fancy – just a concise document showcasing your best content, audience demographics, and engagement rates. Then, research and reach out to brands' PR teams (you can often find their contact info on their websites or by searching "brand name + PR contact" on LinkedIn). Don't be discouraged by rejections; it's all part of the process! Keep creating, keep engaging, and keep sharing your unique perspective. Your next dream PR package could be just around the corner!
