Last Updated: 2026
Our Commitment to Transparency
At Luxury Beauty Edit, we believe in full transparency about how we generate revenue. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how they impact (or don't impact) our content.
What Are Affiliate Links?

Amazon Associates Program

- Impact Radius
- Rakuten Advertising
- Individual brand affiliate programs
How This Affects You
No Additional Cost
When you purchase through our affiliate links, you pay the same price as you would if you went directly to the retailer's website. The commission comes from the retailer's margin, not from your pocket.
Product Prices
Product prices mentioned on our site are subject to change. The prices you see when clicking through to retailer sites are the actual prices you'll pay. We cannot guarantee specific pricing.
Your Support
When you use our affiliate links, you help support our editorial work at no cost to you. This allows us to continue providing free, independent reviews and recommendations.
Our Editorial Independence
We Buy Our Own Products
We purchase all products we review at retail price. We do not accept free samples, gifts, or loans from brands for review purposes.
No Pay-for-Play
Brands cannot pay us to write favorable reviews. Our opinions are our own and are based on genuine testing and research.
Honest Reviews
If a product doesn't meet our standards, we say so—regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with the brand. We will never recommend a product we don't believe in just to earn a commission.
Disclosure in Content
We clearly disclose affiliate relationships in our content:
- Affiliate disclosure notices appear at the top of articles containing affiliate links
- We use clear language to explain our affiliate relationships
- We comply with FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials
How We Choose Products to Review
We select products to review based on:
- Reader interest and requests
- New product launches in the luxury beauty space
- Products that meet our testing criteria
- Items that represent good value in their category
Our affiliate relationships do not influence which products we choose to review.
Tracking and Analytics
When you click on affiliate links:
- Cookies may be placed on your device to track the referral
- We can see that you clicked through, but not what you purchased (unless it's the specific product linked)
- This data helps us understand which content is most helpful to our readers
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect your ability to make purchases through affiliate links.
FTC Compliance
We comply with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. Specifically:
- We clearly disclose material connections to brands
- We only endorse products we've actually used and believe in
- We disclose when content is sponsored (though we currently do not accept sponsored content)
- We maintain our editorial independence regardless of affiliate relationships
