A STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO RETURNS

We want to make sure the process is as easy as possible, and we have a dedicated customer service team ready to help you if you wish to make a return. Please follow our simple step by step guide below.

 

Step 1

The easiest way to get in touch is through Live Chat, by logging into your account. You can also reach us by messaging us in the same account section if you don't have time to chat right now.

​

 

Step 2

Chat to one of our advisors. We will need your order number which can be found in your order confirmation email. Please note we cannot refund unwanted items unless they are returned unopened.

​

 

Step 3

We will require photographic evidence if you are returning a damaged item or if something has gone wrong with the item. Please have this ready before speaking to an advisor.

​

 

Step 4

You will need to post your item back to us. Please note, shipping costs are only covered if there is a problem with your order.

 

 

Step 5

Mail your return package. If a refund has been requested, this will be completed within 14 days of us receiving the package.

​

Refunds & Returns

Can I return a product if I no longer want it?
We want all our customers to enjoy their products so if you’re not happy with your order then you can send it back to us. All we ask is that you let us know that you don’t want the order within 14 days of receipt and make sure the products have not been opened.

​

How long does it take to get a refund?

We aim to refund all returns 14 working days after we have received the item at our warehouse. Any beauty bag, beauty box, advent calendar, or special edition boxes will not be eligible for returns.

​

What should I do if I receive an incorrect item?
We have high standards when it comes to packaging your order however mistakes do occur from time to time. Please accept our apologies if you have received an incorrect item. As part of our customer objectives, we will do our upmost to resolve your query with speed, ease and with absolute minimal inconvenience.

​

Why can’t I speak to the same agent?
To help minimize customer waiting times, our system allocates the first available agent to a call and cannot guarantee that you will speak to the same agent every time. Rest assured we have a comprehensive notes system for every customer.

​

Why do I need to provide a photographic evidence / doctor’s certificate if I’ve had an allergic reaction?
Unfortunately, not every return claim made is legitimate and we need to ensure evidence is provided by customers. This allows us to provide our customers with the best service possible.
