My sister and I had a wonderful workshop at Douglas in Arnhem featuring the beautiful Benefit products. We would like to especially highlight Nely. She guided us in such a kind and enthusiastic way! T... See more

I purchased a brow pencil from Worldwide Duty Free LONDON Gatwick. My fourth purchase of the same product, but first time with a lead that fell out on first use, hence first customer service issue!... See more

Never received my order or a refund even though I went out of my way to email them and all I got was a useless email back which didn’t help.

I returned a product because the shade wasn’t right for me. Instead of using their free untracked return service, I chose to pay for tracked shipping—and I’m very glad I did. The item was deliv... See more

Abby in John Lewis Norwich was so lovely, she listened to what I wanted and gave great advice, I’m so pleased with my brows which were waxed and tinted and I also had a lip and chin wax, very happy will definitely be going back!

Good but not great!

I have mixed feelings about Benefit. Some of their products like the Precisely My Brow pencil and The POREfessional primer are holy grail status for me - I can't live without them! However, a lot of their other products have been miss rather than hit. Their boxed powders and blushes seem to lack pigment and their mascaras and bronzers just don't wow me. I also find some of their cutesy retro packaging to be a bit overdone. Overall quality is good but not mind blowing.

Wow, I wasn't happy with my purchase, but Benefit were just exceptional at solving this issue and I would never hesitate buying from them again due to such exquisite customer service. Thank you!

High beam

What's happened to the size of the bottle!!!!!!!!!!!!! Received my new bottle yesterday and it's literally 50% smaller but not the price of course!!!!!!!!! Absolutely disgusted. Last time I'll be ordering anything from Benefit.

POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY

VERY DISAPPOINTED! I ordered 3 brow pencils only because of the 30% FRIYAY code. After 3 tries to place the order, the discount did not show up. Purchase was on PayPal. Sometimes the discount doesn't show until after you hit SUBMIT. After 3 hours, only I got confirmation of full price. I called Benefit. She said sales could only be canceled within 30 minutes. Couldn't even offer me a credit. I called PayPal. They said to call Benefit back, that the sale had not gone through yet. I called them and got the same woman. She basically said too bad for me and how sorry she was! Supposedly she got hold of a supervisor who would do nothing either. So when the items arrive I will take them to a store and never buy a Benefit product again. I could have bought these at Target, as I have in the past, and gotten my 5% discount.
As a follow-up, I did return the products and have not gotten confirmation of receiving them, or a refund.

Disappointing

I love benefit but I recently ordered a mystery box for £60. These have previously been £40 so not only have they increased it by £20, you get less full size products. The minis you can get as gifts with purchase and when adding up the prices on their website it comes to £105 when they state you get £115 worth of value. But really it’s even less than that if you only count full size products £67.50 as the rest I always get as gifts with purchase. I would rather have spent that money on items I’ll actually use.

I would have given five star once…

I used to love their range years ago but more recently they have reduced the range in a huge way. Ingredients change to their tinted moisturiser, my skin had an awful reaction.
Porefessional seems to make my foundation sit in my creases worse.

The boing concealer is still a really product and is their brow pomade.
But now the brow palette is huge with three colours and three powders, I only use two! Seems very wasteful.
Original dr feelgood was a fantastic primer and smelt great but no longer available.
Such a shame.

Avoid Boots Covent Garden!

Avoid Boots Covent Garden!
I’ve been Benefit customer for over 15 years and have spend thousands of pounds on their products. Staff are usually lovely and very helpful in all the department stores I’ve been to over the years. Well unfortunately that can not be said about their Sunday girl at Boots Covent Garden. Young, pale complexion girl with wavy, brown-ish hair up to her shoulders was not knowledgable and plainly rude! Shocking attitude while talking over me. The worst beauty shopping experience yet.

Poor service

Very poor customer service.
Advertised free delivery with new mascara but never happened.
Stated no code needed.
Emailed customer service to be told tough should have physically picked free delivery. Will not buy anything else from benefit online. Rubbish

Benefit Cosmetic Brow Bar Burns

Benefit Cosmetic Brow Bar wax burns, skin torn off under both brows left bleeding, swelling and scarring and in pain only to find same technician Vivian has well documented photo burning other customers at a second Benefit Cosmetic Brow Bar location and should have never been in a position to repeatedly scar customers. Staff is lackadaisical, pre-occupied chatting with anyone walking by, does NOT follow safety standards. Benefit Cosmetic does not stand behind it's Brand or Services. Avoid!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to Kim and her team…

THANK YOU SO MUCH to Kim and her team (Spitlesfield store) for going over and above in EVERY aspect when sorting out my eyebrows today, suggesting products and overall kindness, understanding and patience! Thank you! For years I’ve struggled with my eyebrow shape but Kim & her colleague swept in and took full control and didn’t let me leave until it was PERFECT!!!!

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE

AWFUL customer service, specifically the chat feature. I spoke to Laurie and then Maria. Both wasted over 27 minutes of my time and STILL insisted the promo code they offered me was correct. The promo code offered to me by BENEFIT was supposed to be 15% PLUS A FREE BAG! Not true! The scam they are pulling is that they CHARGE you $12.00 for the bag and then give you a 15% discount once your PURCHASE the bag. I'm done with Benefit directly. Ulta and Amazon provide excellent service. I dropped this company and their idiot customer-no-service reps.

Took Benefit's advice and left with an orange face.

Recently visited the Spitalfields store and spent over £100 on a few essentials, including a Hoola bronzer.
One of the beauticians pointed out that i'd be better off with the caramel Hoola over the original that i usually get. I said i'd take her word for it as i didn't have time to try it on - she was confident it would give me the natural look i was after. I was gutted to discover that this caramel shade came out bright orange!! I took it back to the store to swap it and explain what had happened, rather than seeing it as an opportunity to show excellent customer care or even remotely apologise for the ill advice - the manager simply said it's not company policy to swap or exchange once the product has been opened. Don't take advice from Benefit beauticians and don't expect them to compensate you. I left with a generic email address to request a refund - despite me explaining that I don't actually want a refund - I just want the bronzer i had originally sought out to buy !

I purchased the bad galaxy waterproof mascara. It is by far the worst product I have every tried. A complete waste of £25.50. It smudges, it blobs and it leaves your lashes feeling sticky,as if it hasn't dried, every blink you feel your top lashes are sticking to the bottom lashes.
