Ipsy talks marketing engine launch that drives beauty brand demand. Key takeaways. * Ipsy has released a marketing solutions engine, using first-party data, product trials, and its creator network to help beauty brands drive demand and retail growth. * Its consumer insights help brands understand consumer interest and optimize marketing throughout the product launch cycle. * Its Oliviaumma campaign shows how audience insights and authentic consumer content can generate measurable traffic and marketing ROI. Ipsy has dispatched an end-to-end marketing and sales engine to address the growing pressure on brands to deliver marketing ROI (return on investment) and prove consumer interest. Ipsy Marketing Solutions aims to help brands drive demand, scale retail, and maximize marketing efficiency. The engine is designed to work alongside retail media strategies, informing brands about consumer preferences and driving engagement across the full marketing lifecycle. Jason Kwong, chief business development officer at Ipsy, tells Personal Care Insights about how the company takes a holistic approach to understanding consumer behavior by utilizing a broad set of informational touchpoints to give brands dependable and data-backed consumer insights. For Ipsy Marketing Solutions, the personalized beauty subscription service company has tapped its social media community base of 16 million and its consumer touch points of over 20 million, alongside first-party data, a product trial ecosystem, and its creator network to develop the engine. Kwong tells Personal Care Insights the company is uniquely positioned to provide beauty insights to partner brands due to its 15 years of expertise in beauty discovery. Reading beauty data Ipsy uses consumer insights to drive beauty brand growth. Ipsy Marketing Solutions is designed to assist beauty brands in bringing attention to their product and supporting consumer demand. The full-funnel marketing and sales acceleration engine works to boost retail growth through a product's launch cycle. Galen Smith, CEO of Ipsy, says: "Launching a beauty product today requires more than generating attention; it requires knowing whether consumers actually want it before it reaches retail." "Ipsy Marketing Solutions [expands] how brands can partner with Ipsy through creator activations, experiential, paid media, and a unified full-funnel engine that helps brands launch smarter, build stronger consumer connections, and drive measurable retail growth." Ahead of a launch, the company helps brands get products to "relevant consumers." Kwong says it provides users with trusted reviews while gathering early signals around preferences and demand. Following a product's launch-to-market, partnering brands can continue to tap these insights to inform creator campaigns, experiential activations, and precision media that reach targeted audiences and drive sales. "What connects those stages is the ability to learn from how consumers are responding and use those insights to inform marketing. Ultimately, the goal is to help brands understand what's resonating and translate consumer engagement into measurable business impact." He underscores that Ipsy has already seen this kind of translation of insights into impact in its previously-mentioned work with Oliviaumma. Leveraging history in beauty Ipsy connects beauty brands with engaged consumers. According to Kwong, Ipsy is differentiated by its scale and trusted consumer relationships in its position to offer a marketing and sales engine. He emphasizes the company's multifaceted informational ecosystem comprising its large social community, broad customer touchpoints, as well as first-person data collated through customer reviews and creator partnerships. "These give us insight into how consumers discover and respond to beauty products - insights that brands can use to build more relevant audiences, generate authentic advocacy, and drive measurable campaigns," he says. Kwong tells Personal Care Insights that Oliviaumma's launch at Sephora illustrates how measurable marketing campaigns can translate to a key competitive advantage. "We leveraged our first-party audience insights and authentic content from Ipsy members who had trialed and reviewed the brand's products in a paid media campaign designed to drive qualified traffic to Sephora.com," he explains. In addition to the ROIs related to the event, the partnership connected Oliviaumma to consumers more directly. "This allows the brand to hear feedback at scale and better understand consumer preferences as it enters retail," says Kwong. "It demonstrates how Ipsy can turn product trial, audience insights, and trusted consumer advocacy into measurable retail performance." The company also recently used its first-party audience insights, paired with social content from community members who tried the products, to bolster the Sephora debut of K-beauty's Oliviaumma. The paid campaign exceeded industry benchmark click-through rates by two to threefold, boasts Ipsy. The company is currently working with brands such as ELF Beauty, Rodial, Elemis, and Dew of the Gods. First-party data helps Ipsy deliver targeted beauty marketing. Reflecting consumer interest. Kwong explains how Ipsy leverages its expertise in personalizing consumer experiences without relying on it as the sole driver of its insights. "Platforms working with consumer behavior and personalization need to be thoughtful about how different signals are interpreted, particularly when translating engagement into insights about broader demand." "We have a large and highly engaged beauty community generating feedback across product trials, reviews, and other customer touchpoints, which gives us the ability to look at consumer response across a broad set of experiences rather than treating any one exposure as definitive." He tells Personal Care Insights that Ipsy's diverse consumer data ecosystem allows the company to evaluate consumer response across more than one type of interaction, rather than conflating a standalone recommendation, trial, or review with broader demand. "Ultimately, our objective is to give brands a reliable view of genuine consumer interest that can help them make smarter decisions before, during, and after a launch," Kwong concludes.

Surprise box resurgence: Gen Z seeks shareable and intentional beauty experiences. Key takeaways. * Gen Z is fueling the blind box resurgence, seeking shareable, intentional beauty experiences over gimmicks. * Ipsy's data-driven curation and seasonal drops turn surprise into a long-term loyalty engine. * In the "little treat" era, value, trust, and community sustain surprise box items further than the trend. Gen Z consumers are driving a revival for mystery beauty boxes as they continually gravitate toward joy-driven, surprise-led beauty experiences. The beauty subscription brand Ipsy tells Personalcareinsights that the momentum for its surprise boxes continues to rise. Long before "blind boxes" became a retail trend, fueled by "little treat" culture and the online community's unboxing experience, Ipsy introduced Mystery Bags as a core part of its consumer experience. For over a decade, surprise drops have fueled discovery and experimentation, tapping into the same unboxing excitement and perceived value that are driving today's surprise box resurgence. According to Ipsy, strong seasonal performance is significant. Its February Valentine's Day-themed Mystery Bags reached a 30% sell-through rate in under a week, outperforming last year's drop. Personal Care Insights speaks with Stacey Politi, Ipsy's chief marketing officer, who tells Personalcareinsights more. What makes surprise-driven shopping experiences so compelling to Gen Z consumers? Politi: Gen Z sees shopping as a sharable experience, not just a transaction. Surprise formats like its Mystery Bags naturally spark anticipation and conversation about which products people receive, their value, and more. Unboxing culture is a big part of the experience, so the reveal moment feels participatory and social, as many members share and discuss their assortments on Reddit and TikTok. As blind box popularity continues to surge, Ipsy stands out as one of the original brands to builds surprise and play into its DNA.What makes it even more compelling is when the surprise feels intentional and curated, not random. That intentionality transforms surprise into something meaningful, not gimmicky. Surprise boxes are experiencing a resurgence in retail. How has Ipsy's approach to surprise-driven experiences remained relevant and kept up with this evolution? Politi: Surprise and play have always been part of its DNA, grounded in expertise and trust rather than novelty alone. Personalcareinsights has evolved by deepening its use of member data, trend forecasting, and planning to keep each drop and assortment fresh and relevant for its members. Between the thoughtful beauty product curation by its team of experts and the exciting element of surprise, that's what keeps Personalcareinsights relevant with its members. For Personalcareinsights, surprise assortments aren't a trend but a reflection of its members' desire for discovery, value, and play through beauty. Over time, Personalcareinsights has evolved its Mystery Bags to be far more data-informed and intentional. Personalcareinsights apply learnings from every drop, listen closely to member feedback, and continuously refine its assortments. That discipline has strengthened engagement and fueled repeat participation. Ultimately, loyalty is built on trust and consistent value, and that is what keeps members coming back. With the increasing demand for surprise-led shopping experiences, how can other beauty brands tap into this trend and leverage the affinity for discovery and joy-driven shopping? Politi: The key is to anchor surprise in trust and value. Consumers are excited by discovery, but they need to feel confident that what they're receiving is worth their money - especially if they buy into a curation 'blind.' At Ipsy, that means testing thousands of products a year and curating with intention, so every surprise feels both joyful and relevant. Personalcareinsights also tease the brand names in its Mystery Bags so members can trust they're receiving a product from a brand they're excited to try. Brands that combine expertise, thoughtful curation, and community engagement will see the most sustainable success. How do you keep the Mystery Bag experience exciting, and how do you manage to keep that sense of excitement with each new drop? Politi: Personalcareinsights plan themes a year in advance, informed by consumer data, cultural trends, and extensive product testing. Its merchandising team tests over 8,000 products a year to discover and curate the best products for its members, which find their way into its Mystery Bags. Each Mystery Bag drop is designed to feel timely and intentional, with nods to seasonal holidays and trends, like Valentine's Day. Of course, there is substantial value built in, and Personalcareinsights closely monitor both beauty and broader retail trends to ensure its experiences feel culturally connected and differentiated. How does IPSY foster a sense of community and connection with its consumers online and globally? Politi: Community has always been at the heart of Ipsy. Personalcareinsights actively engage a network of over 1,000 hand-vetted creators and spotlight member unboxings and reviews across its channels, turning each drop into a shared, participatory moment. For Mystery Bags in particular, seeing members share their assortments and reactions online fuels conversation, informs future assortments, and strengthensOver the past year, Ipsy has expanded its Mystery Bag assortment to meet increased consumer demand for surprise-led shopping. connections across its beauty community.
