How Treslúce does beauty marketing emails
1. FREE Halloween Bag with your first month
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate subscription sign-ups by offering a time-sensitive, themed free gift, a Halloween mystery bag, to incentivize first-time customers while reinforcing brand excitement and urgency through a limited 48-hour window.
Why this works
The email brilliantly leverages seasonal urgency by tying a free mystery bag to a 48-hour window, creating FOMO while aligning with Halloween’s playful, spooky energy to make the offer feel exclusive and timely.
How to implement
Rebranding the ‘Glam Bag’ to ‘IPSY Original’ without changing the product experience is a smart way to refresh perception while maintaining customer trust, it signals evolution without disruption, keeping the core value intact.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer directly above the CTA to visually reinforce the 48-hour urgency, increasing perceived scarcity and prompting faster action without requiring users to scroll or calculate time remaining. • Include a small testimonial or social proof snippet near the CTA, such as ‘Over 50,000 customers loved October’s bag!’, to validate the offer’s popularity and reduce hesitation for first-time subscribers.
2. New arrivals just for you
Objective
This email aims to drive immediate purchases by showcasing Treslúce’s newest beauty products while incentivizing higher cart values through a limited-edition tote bag offer. It positions the brand as trend-forward and exclusive to encourage urgency and emotional connection.
Why this works
The email masterfully blends product storytelling with sensory language, like 'beachy-like glow' and 'silky, lightweight formula', to evoke emotion and help customers visualize the experience, not just the product, making desire more tangible and immediate.
How to implement
By anchoring the campaign around a limited-edition tote bag tied to a $40+ purchase, the email transforms a simple product launch into a value-driven event, encouraging customers to spend more while feeling rewarded with exclusivity and utility.
Pro Tip
Add a subtle countdown timer near the tote bag offer to amplify urgency, since the 'limited-edition' claim lacks time pressure, this would strengthen conversion by triggering FOMO without cluttering the design. • Include a short customer testimonial or star rating beneath one or two top products to build social proof, especially since new arrivals benefit from validation to reduce perceived risk for first-time buyers.
3. Peek in for Halloween inspo (and a treat 👻)
Objective
This email aims to drive Halloween-themed beauty product engagement by showcasing limited-time offers, inspirational looks, and exclusive sneak peeks, ultimately encouraging subscribers to purchase or join the IPSY bag program while capitalizing on seasonal excitement.
Why this works
The email masterfully blends holiday urgency with aspirational beauty by teasing full-size products inside a mystery bag, making the offer feel both exclusive and irresistible for seasonal shoppers seeking curated surprises.
How to implement
By featuring real customer transformations in the 'Summon Your Spooky Look' section, the campaign builds social proof organically while guiding users toward achievable, shareable Halloween makeup inspiration that drives emotional connection and conversion.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer above the 'Peek at the Magic' CTA for the Advent Calendar to heighten scarcity and urgency around the $600+ value offer, which currently lacks time-sensitive pressure despite its high perceived value. • Reposition the SMS signup link from the footer into the hero or offer section to capture early attention, since it’s buried at the bottom, many users may miss this low-friction channel that could boost retention and cross-channel engagement.
4. LAST CHANCE to bundle up ⏱️
Objective
This email aims to drive urgency and conversion by promoting limited-time product bundles while incentivizing larger purchases with a free tote bag. It encourages customers to complete their beauty collection before the offer expires.
Why this works
The email leverages urgency with 'LAST CHANCE' and a clock emoji to trigger immediate action, while clearly positioning bundles as a way to build a personalized dream collection, perfect for customers who value curation over random purchases.
How to implement
Each bundle is framed with a lifestyle benefit, like 'That Glow, Though' or 'Eye Amor', making the products feel emotionally resonant and aspirational rather than transactional, which increases perceived value and connection with the brand’s aesthetic.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the hero headline to visually reinforce urgency and create real-time pressure, which can increase click-through rates by making the deadline feel more immediate and tangible. • Include customer testimonials or star ratings next to each bundle to build social proof and reduce purchase hesitation, especially since the bundles are new and may require validation before customers commit.
5. 30% OFF EVERYTHING!
Objective

Why this works
The email creates instant urgency by anchoring the sale to a specific holiday weekend and including a hard deadline, which motivates customers to act quickly rather than delay their purchase decision.
How to implement
By explicitly stating that the discount applies to bundles and full-site products, the email removes perceived limitations and reassures customers that no item is excluded, increasing perceived value and reducing hesitation.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the CTA to visually reinforce urgency and encourage immediate action before the 9/4/23 deadline, increasing conversion rates for time-sensitive shoppers. • Include a small testimonial or social proof snippet near the offer section, such as 'Over 10,000 customers stocked up last weekend', to build trust and validate the sale’s popularity.
6. Cyber Monday Ends Soon 🎁🎁🎁
Objective
This email aims to drive urgency and conversion by promoting a limited-time Cyber Monday offer of three free gifts with purchase, while also encouraging new subscriptions to the IPSY beauty box service. It leverages scarcity and visual appeal to motivate immediate action before the deal expires.
Why this works
The email masterfully combines urgency with generosity by framing the free gifts as a final chance, creating emotional FOMO while rewarding the customer with tangible value, which increases conversion likelihood without feeling pushy.
How to implement
Using a bold red background with contrasting purple accents and gold imagery creates an instantly festive, gift-centric visual language that aligns with holiday shopping psychology and draws the eye directly to the offer and CTA.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer or stock indicator beneath the '3 FREE GIFTS' headline to visually reinforce urgency beyond text, making the scarcity more tangible and prompting faster decisions. • Include a small testimonial or social proof near the CTA, such as 'Over 50,000 customers claimed their gifts this week', to build trust and reduce hesitation for first-time buyers.

How to implement
By emphasizing the $135 value of the free bag alongside curated product visuals, the campaign transforms a simple subscription into a high-perceived-value gift, effectively reducing perceived risk for new customers.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the top of the email to visually reinforce urgency and encourage immediate action before the 10/23/2025 deadline. • Include a short testimonial or user-generated photo near the product grid to build social proof and reassure new subscribers about the quality and desirability of the included items.
8. Hello, Brows! + Happy National Brow Day
Objective
This email aims to celebrate National Brow Day by introducing and promoting Treslúce’s new 'Hello, Brows!' bundle, encouraging immediate purchase through a limited-time discount and clear product value proposition.
Why this works
The email brilliantly ties a cultural moment, National Brow Day, to a product launch, creating urgency and relevance that makes the offer feel timely and celebratory rather than purely promotional.
How to implement
By highlighting a 38% discount and contrasting the bundle’s $20 price against its $32 value, the email leverages perceived savings to make the deal irresistible while keeping the math simple and instantly digestible.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer or 'limited-time offer' badge near the CTA to reinforce urgency, since the email mentions the deal lasts 'all month long', which dilutes scarcity and reduces immediate conversion pressure. • Include a customer testimonial or before/after brow image in the hero or offer section to build social proof and visually demonstrate the bundle’s effectiveness, which would strengthen trust and perceived value.

Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer beneath the 'ENDING SOON!' banner to visually reinforce urgency for the BOGO bag offer, increasing conversion pressure without adding clutter. • Include a brief testimonial or social proof near the CTA (e.g., 'Over 500K members loved their mystery bags last year!') to reduce friction for new subscribers hesitant about the subscription commitment.

Objective
This email aims to drive new subscriptions to BoxyCharm by offering a limited-edition Halloween Glam Bag with five deluxe-size samples as a free incentive, creating urgency with a Halloween-themed promotion and a clear deadline.
Why this works

How to implement
By visually showcasing the five deluxe samples alongside the Halloween bag, the campaign creates instant perceived value, helping subscribers mentally justify the subscription cost through tangible, desirable product previews.
Pro Tip
Add a countdown timer near the CTA to reinforce urgency, since the offer ends 10/23/2025, this would visually pressure users to act before the Halloween-themed incentive disappears. • Include a brief testimonial or social proof near the offer section, such as 'Over 50,000 subscribers claimed their Halloween bag last year,' to build trust and reduce hesitation for first-time signups.
