Packages recived as a Content Creator w/ 1K • Pt 2
I was expecting this post to go up right after the last PR Haul but I’ve still been pretty behind trying to push out old content from last year so bear with me! Y’all loved the last one with over 1.3k views! So I had to create a Part 2 and I’ll keep continuing these so stay tuned for Part 3 and more! 📣
As I mentioned in the last post, some of these apps/platforms require 1k but others don’t. When I started Content Creation, I thought you had to have 10k and up to get anything but it’s so untrue! I was able to get some of these under 1k but once I hit 1,000 - the inbounds were inbounding and the applications were being accepted! 💕
I’m also a YT Girlie so if anyone’s intrested, I create videos in the beauty space - mostly unboxings and tutorials with IPSY Packages but I’m trying to expand and just haven’t had the time. Socials in bio ⏰
NOW ONTO THE PACKAGES! 🫣⬇️
1️⃣ & 2️⃣ Boxycharm by IPSY & Glam Bag
I’ve been on IPSY’s PR List for almost 2 years - maybe longer - so I don’t remember exactly how many followers I had but I think it was under 1k. I thought you had to have 1k to be accepted but this is not true - I believe it’s all on how you interact with them. I had my own Boxycharm Subscription about 7 months before this and I shared them on YouTube and Instagram so I think this contributed to why I was accepted.
IPSY and Boxycharm have merged since then so I went from getting accepted for them separately and receiving the IPSY Glam Bag, Boxycharm Base, & Boxy Luxe but I’ve seen people who’d get all the boxes (Premium and GBX included) - I only got these on special occasions. Now I recieve all 3!
These are gifted with no obligations but of course they’d like it if you used and shared the products. They check for participation every 3 months.
3️⃣ Ofra Cosmetics
My girl (fellow Creator & MUA) Yari G got the chance to collab with Ofra which is AMAZING! She created this bundle and let Ofra know who she wanted bundles sent to! Love her for sending me her bundle which I haven’t gotten to try yet because life is lifeing 😂 but stay tuned!! This was gifted
4️⃣ Viktor & Rolf
Aspire Platform - Must Have 1k on IG/TT/YT
I WAS STOKEDDDDDD to see Viktor & Rolf’s Flowerbomb Perfume show up at my door! This was purely gifted but of course sharing will keep you in mind for future opportunities. I love Aspire - it’s been an awesome platform with huge brands!
5️⃣ Skin 1004
Picky App - No Follower Amount Required but they don’t work with creators over 200k so if you do have more than that and just happen to come across this post - don’t bother to apply. They want Micro not macro creators. Gifted for a Review on the Picky App & a Social Post Review.
6️⃣ Maybelline
This was honestly just a random package - not really PR. Maybelline offered free lipsticks on National Lipstick Day and this was mine! I’ve been dying to try these Viral Lippies!
7️⃣ Morraccan Oil
Skeepers (Octoly) - Must Have 1k on IG & Good Engagement (other platforms available to connect)
I’ve loved Skeepers! There’s so many big brands and products to create content with! Some go super fast but you get 5 credits to apply with and if your accepted to the campaigns, you create based on deliverables. Some are just text reviews while others are photos or reels content.
8️⃣ Truly Beauty
They reached out to me via DM in Partnerships on Instagram and told me to email them for a opportunity. They have a PR/VIP List and we get gifted products to share feedback with them. Posting is encouraged but not necessary.
9️⃣ Thena
BzzAgent - No Followers Required
This is a review platform - no posting is usually required but a review on BzzAgent is. (rarely they may have ones that have you post but I don’t remember)
Do you see a favorite product btw?! ✨ Like and Save for Part 3!

As a content creator, receiving PR packages is an exciting part of the journey, especially when you have a follower count under 1K. Many believe that you must have a high number of followers to receive these packages, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Platforms like IPSY and Boxycharm are known for their inclusive programs that allow creators with smaller audiences to participate and receive PR samples. When starting out, it's essential to engage with these brands and show genuine interest in their products, as this can greatly enhance your chances of being selected for PR opportunities. Many creators, including myself, have found success by sharing their experiences and creations on platforms like YouTube and Instagram. These platforms often open doors to exclusive offers, collaborations, and the potential to be added to brand PR lists, even if you’re just starting out. For instance, platforms like Aspire and Picky App focus on fostering micro-creators by prioritizing engagement over follower count. This means that even if you have less than 1,000 followers, participating actively with brands and maintaining a genuine connection can lead to more opportunities. Brands often look for creators who resonate with their product values, making personal engagement key. In conclusion, whether you’re just starting your content creation journey or looking to expand, remember that authenticity and connection are crucial. Keep sharing your experiences, and don't hesitate to reach out to brands – you never know when the next exciting package will arrive!
