e.l.f. positions itself as an inclusive, accessible beauty brand—delivering high-quality products at attainable price points, with a strong following from younger consumers through social and digital channels. Their Beauty Squad loyalty program builds on that idea of accessibility, by making it simple for customers to earn rewards wherever they shop.

On Amazon, e.l.f.’s brand storefront includes an “Earn Rewards” page that explains how Amazon purchases can be linked back to the Beauty Squad program by easily uploading a receipt. This makes sure customers don’t miss out on rewards just because they choose to shop somewhere else.

Once logged in to the Beauty Squad program, members can quickly see their points, tier, and ways to earn more. They can upload receipts from purchases made outside the site (i.e. Amazon) and take part in fun, interactive features—like a quiz that assigns them a Beauty Squad “sign” based on their skincare habits.
