If so how does it affect your skin. I have very sensitive skin and bought the tinted moisturiser and Dr Feelgood balm last week. After a couple of days I started getting little pimples. I stopped using the products but was wondering if anyone else's skin has gotten used to the products and if so what do you use? Thanks.Anyone with sensitive skin who uses Benefit cosmetics?
The tinted moisturizer has SPF 15 which can cause problems in many people, including myself. You Rebel is NOT OIL FREE, not matter what anyone says. Dr. Feelgood is also not oil free and is not good for sensitive skin. Dr. Feelgood is more for older women with enlarged pores. I honestly have found better foundation products in the Revlon line. MAC is pretty heavy, but there are sheer products within their line that may work for you, but ask for samples first and try for at least three days.Anyone with sensitive skin who uses Benefit cosmetics?
i have kinda sensitive skin, i used 2 use the benefit foundation but i have moved 2 m.a.c now its way better. but i still use the benefit ';that gal'; face primer, its really light, smells good and make ur foundation go on like a dream, cant live without it anymore! doubt it will make ur face come out in a rash or anythin cus its so light! give it a try and c xxxxx
I used to get invisible lumps on my face, I could feel them but you couldn't see them. I realised I began getting them after I started using ';some kinda gorgeous'; foundation faker, but after a couple of weeks I stopped getting them and I use it pretty much every day!
With Benefit you really have to try products, because some are fabulous but others are just pretty packaging...
Good luck with your makeup quest!

How do you get a MAC discount Card? And how do you get Benefit Cosmetics to take you seriously ...........?
I have been given the email address of benefits wholesale but I dont know how to get them to take me seriously. Do I send them a business plan etc. Is there any one who also sells cosmetics who deals with these issues or has done and has any advice.
Also how do you get a MAC discount card - I know you have to be a Makeup artist or a proffesional but how/where do you go to apply?
ThanksHow do you get a MAC discount Card? And how do you get Benefit Cosmetics to take you seriously ...........?
The PPID site listed tells you all about getting a MAC discount card. Please know that with your MAC discount card you are forbidden from re-selling. They monitor the program very closely and if you are caught re-selling the product you are banned from the program.
For Benefit to take you seriously you must be an established business that already carries cosmetics or be a licensed esthetician or a makeup artist with a decent resume and portfolio. They do not allow just anyone to carry their product. You can't , for instance, be a regular consumer who wishes to sell their product back on ebay. They won't sell to you.
If you are a professional artist they will occasionally sell to you at a discount but the same rules apply. You cannot apply for professional discounts and resell the product. You'll be blacklisted for pro discounts if you do this. You can contact the benefit sales department and tell them who you are (ie qualifications) and in what venue you'd like to resell their products to ask them for the qualifications for opening a resell account. Normally a business license and Tax Id number is required.
Almost all Pro programs require you to show a portfolio shot, a business card, a diploma from a makeup school, a tearsheet, or a union card.How do you get a MAC discount Card? And how do you get Benefit Cosmetics to take you seriously ...........?

Why does Benefit Cosmetics Returns not refund all my money?
i only use Moon Beam ONCE and they took almost 10$ off the price for returning it
why?
i emailed and complained
i want to also return a blush that is 28$, but now im afraid that i should not bother
thank you!Why does Benefit Cosmetics Returns not refund all my money?
That's weird. On their site it says you can return an item you bought from them within 30 days as long as it is not OVERLY used (which I guess means half the bottle is empty).
Was the shipping $10? Because I know companies usually do not refund shipping. You should've complained until you got your money back. Honestly, they basically stole your money since they went against their word and give you a full refund. She should've complained until they gave you their money back.
Did you order with a credit card? This time, if they do not give you a full refund make a complaint to your credit card (it's called a dispute, I think. Idk, I don't have a credit card but I remember hearing my mom talked about it) so that they can investigate and ensure you receive your full money.
Edit to add: To the people who saying it was because she opened it, that's not true. Their return policy specifically states she could return opened products and to go back on that policy is actually illegal since it is basically like they are stealing her money.
Also, that's why you don't buy cheap crap. Usually, with more expensive makeup (basically anything that's not drugstore crap) you can return an opened product if you are not fully satisfied with it.Why does Benefit Cosmetics Returns not refund all my money?
I'm surprised they took it back at all; if you broke the seal on cosmetics, much less used it, then they can't resell it or re-use it in any way, so they eat the loss on a return. You'd usually have to show that it was something horribly their fault to be able to return expensive cosmetics, such as, the blush had streaks of green, or was moldy, or had glass in it, or something.
Did you check the company policies? Used products are worth much less than brand new. I personally wouldn't use want anything that was used

What are your favorite product(s) by Benefit Cosmetics?
Whats you favorite product(s) by Benefit Cosmetics? I got a gift certificate for them, and I never shop there, so im kind of lost on all the things they have like whats good or bad?

I LOVE Benefit.

i really love the that gal primer. It really wakes up my skin.
http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/gp/produ…
definitly their mascara bad gal!... i also love their high lighter high beam.
Now, none of them are.
Contrary to what their web site says, they do test on animals.
Twice they avoided answering my questions directly, saying they do not test their ';finished products” on animals.
In the third email it came out that finished products are ones that are ready to go to market, while unfinished products are products that they are still formulating. So essentially they ARE testing on animals!
Disappointing since they claim the opposite on their web site!

Has anyone used the makeup foundation called some kind-a- gorgeous by benefit cosmetics?
Has anyone used the makeup foundation called some kind-a- gorgeous by benefit cosmetics? You can get it at Sephora. Does it work good? It only comes in 1 shade so i'm not so sure how good it would be. It's rated as a really good product though. Any advice would help! Also if anyone has any advice on some good foundation please let me know, i need one that makes your skin look perfect!Has anyone used the makeup foundation called some kind-a- gorgeous by benefit cosmetics?
I love this foundation when I am having a good skin day. It is really lightweight, has silicone on it so it glides on smoothly. It is only a light coverage, so if you are trying to cover a lot of redness, this may not be the foundation for you. If you want more coverage, the Benefit Playsticks are amazing, I use those when I am having a bad skin day. http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/gp/node/鈥?/a>

Is the Benefit Cosmetics Bathina Set worth it?
I've never tried Benefit and would like to know what you think of the gift set.Is the Benefit Cosmetics Bathina Set worth it?
I personally haven't used the gift set, but Benefit was the first makeup I have ever used and it made me breakout and made me look like a giant Madonna wannabe. I'd try something else if I wear you.earrings for wholesale

Where can I buy Benefit cosmetics in England?
I used to buy off Ebay but had a bad experience so wish to buy from a store. Does anyone know which stores stock this range?Where can I buy Benefit cosmetics in England?
Aha another benefit fan! They sell Benefit in Fenwick, Boots, Debenhams, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, House of Fraser...in fact most self respecting department stores. You may need to go to a large boots to get Benefit but hopefully you'll be near one of the above stores. I would call them before hand just to make sure. Hope this helps. Good luck! On another note you may be interested to know that MeMeMe excl to Superdrug do a line of cosmetics that is almost identical to Benefit. Personally I use to use Benefit all the time. It also helped that my best mate was manager of the Selfridges stand in London. She has left now and says she swears by MeMeMe as its exactly the same but a fraction of the cost. Try Beat the Blues for a good alternative to High beam. Toodle pip!Where can I buy Benefit cosmetics in England?
Selfridges and Boots on Oxford St (near Bond St tube) stock Benefit. They also have their own store on Westbourne Grove in London. I'm not sure if this is any use to you as you don't say where you live. Failing that try Boot's wesbsite, I'm pretty sure they stock Benefit.
Boots, High Street Kensington and Selfridges
