Iris Club
-
The Club is our way of appreciating our most trusted and helpful community members.
The Club has 3 levels, each with their own set of perks:
Novice
Beauty Enthusiast
Beauty Icon
-
This is the process:
Write 5 high quality reviews, which are descriptive and your authentic experience
Wait for Club Members to nominate you. To increase your chances - we recommend introducing yourself and interacting with the community to get noticed. Members get only 1 nomination per week, so if you stand out you are more likely to get the nomination.
Once you are nominated, Iris Moderation team will determine if your reviews meet the quality bar and accept you into the Club!
-
It’s the quality of your reviews that determine if you get into the Club. Iris community looks for helpful, genuine, descriptive reviews, with no copy-pasting, and no AI tools use.
Iris commununity loved to know all the little details about the products:
How long have you been using the product
How does it feel, smell, texture, and anything you can think of
What surprised you
What you disliked.
Reviews don't need to be positive, unless of course that is what your experience is. If you hated the product - the community wants to know!
-
To reach the Enthusiast level, you need to reach 5k Gems.
To become eligible for the Beauty Icon level, you have to write 100 reviews and earn 10k Gems. Once you meet these requirements, you can apply to become an icon. Icon status is not guaranteed and it is only granted to those who have high quality reviews and have proven to be valuable community members. Iris team makes the decision on who is approved to be an Icon.
Reviews
-
Iris community loves reviews which can help them determine if the product is right or not for them. We want to hear about your experience with these products in detail.
Thing we like:
Tell us how the product performs, how long it lasted, how well it did what it was intended to do, how pigmented it was, etc.
Tell us things about the product that community members wouldn’t know until they bought it, such as the scent, the texture, how it feels on your skin, how it absorbs, etc.
Would you repurchase? Why or why not?
Did you love or hate it? Why?
Things which we don’t appreciate in reviews:
Copy-pasted descriptions
Info we can easily find on the brand website
Using AI tools - fake reviews don’t help anyone and are very easy to spot
-
That is totally fine! You do not need to write reviews at all and are welcome to interact with the community and just have fun!
-
Yes.
Guests (not in the Club yet) - can create a total of 5 reviews
Novices and Enthusiasts - up to 25 reviews per day
Icons - unlimited
-
Guests (who are not accepted into the Club yet) cannot add photos or swatches. This is done to protect the community from spam - there are people who download app and post inappropriate content. Our goal at Iris is to make this community as positive and as safe of a place as possible!
Drops
-
Think of Drops as kind of like the Sephora rewards bazaar.
You can use the Gems you have earned to claim a product. When you claim a Drop, the gem amount of the Drop is deducted from your available gems.
Upon claiming, you fill out a form with your shipping info and the item will be shipped to you ASAP! Please allow up to 30 days to receive any Drops you claim.
It's that easy, no strings attached! You're not required to write a review for the product or do anything additional once you receive your Drop, just use and enjoy!
You have to be in the United States or Canada to receive Drops.
-
Only members who are located in the United States or Canada. Iris will not ship Drops to any other country.
-
There is no set schedule! Drops are released on random days and times, so be sure to turn on push notifications for the app and keep an eye out! You will receive a notification once a new Drop goes live.
-
Not at all! If you check your Gems, you will notice that there are two types of Gems:
Total Gems - this is what determines your status and Gems that you spend on Drops or gift others are not deducted from these.
Available Gems - this is what you have left to spend on Drops or send to others as Gifts.
