✨ Packages as a Creator w/ 1k & How to Get Them ✨
Part 5 is here and 6 is in session so let’s get through this month’s PR Haul & Unboxing’s for my Beauty Pages! I’ll be sharing, swatching, and playing with these soon so stay tuned!
🛍 IPSY & Boxycharm:
Gifted / No Obligations, One Post Quarterly Minimum
No Minimum Followers
I’m not entirely sure how their PR List works now for sign up - but I’ve been with them both before they even merged! I signed up on an application form about 2 years ago and when they decided to merge this year, they transferred over creators by having us fill a different form. Boxes are sent monthly and in addition - Top Icon, Quarterly. Now I’ve gone months without posting but for personal issues and life and have made sure to contact someone when these situations happen. They have told me they check for participation every 3 months so of course you want to follow guidelines to not miss out on boxes! ✨ 🫶
🛍 Kaja Beauty:
Gifted / Posting Encouraged, Not Required, PR List
I don’t believe there’s a minimum of followers required
I got into Kaja’s Team through MBX Ambassadors which also hosts I Dew Care and Memebox (K Beauty Brands). I get emails directly from Kaja when there’s a new launch or promotion and we can accept what we want to receive and if we want to post about it unless otherwise stated. Lately I’ve been getting gifting only with nothing required in return.
🛍 Urban Decay, MAC Cosmetics, & Lancôme:
Gifted / Posting Encouraged, Not Required, ASPIRE
1k and up on any platform
I got invited to sign up with Aspire at 1,000 followers but I heard about them before. They offer gifting, affiliate, paid, and no obligation partnerships which makes it a great place for my fellow UGC Creators ✨🤍 I applied for an Urban Decay and MAC Campaign and received the products at my door! No Requirements but if you want to post you can! I’ve been obsessed with these brands since high school and never thought I’d be able to work with them until I hit a larger community! I believe Lancôme’s Team reached out to me through my email from Aspire so it’s cool seeing all these larger brands working with smaller creators!
🛍 It Cosmetics:
Gifted / Posting Encouraged, Not Required, E-mail
Not Sure about Minimum Follower Requirements
I’ve seen It Cosmetics out and about and never knew how to get PR from them. If I remember correctly, they reached out to me via email from seeing my content but I think I might of also filled out a referral form from a friend who was in The program (I really can’t remember but I’m leading more to the email reach out). So far I’ve gotten two packages from them and it’s been wonderful - some campaigns might have requirements but as always that’s your decision! The ones I’ve accepted were completely gifted, no requirements. My first package, I shade matched a little light and they didn’t have extra inventory but they would’ve sent me more in my shade so it’s always nice to see a brand go above and beyond!
So all in all - just keep posting your content because everyone is watching - even if you don’t think they are! 💕
Please Note:
I have stopped taking on gifts unless they are actually gifts - not in exchange for content. You do have to pay taxes on anything in exchange unless stated in your contract the brand is responsible for taxes for that product so just keep that in mind cause it’s not hugely talked about.
What brands have you gotten in PR?! Let me know in the comments! 🤩

Navigating the world of PR packages can be a game-changer for beauty creators. Many brands recognize the growing influence of micro-influencers and are eager to collaborate with those boasting at least 1,000 followers. For instance, IPSY and Boxycharm have streamlined processes for creators to join their PR lists, allowing for a minimum posting requirement while fostering authentic engagement. Also, brands like Kaja Beauty and Urban Decay provide non-obligatory gifting opportunities that empower creators to showcase products on their terms. It's essential for content creators to actively engage with their audience and produce high-quality content, as brands frequently scout social media for potential collaborations. Building a strong presence can lead to additional opportunities, including affiliate marketing and even paid partnerships as your follower count increases. Collaborating with well-known brands enhances your credibility and can inspire more followers to engage with your content. Additionally, creators should be mindful of the contractual obligations regarding taxation on gifted items, as these can have financial implications. Always read the fine print! By maintaining a consistent posting schedule and keeping abreast of brand promotions, you fortify your chances of receiving PR packages while showcasing your authenticity in the beauty landscape.
