Products

Why do you sell damaged products?

This is Beauty was conceived to help reduce unnecessary waste in the beauty industry. Who cares if the box, packaging, or container is damaged when you can save money, protect our planet and the product inside is exactly as it should be?!

My item is damaged, what do I do? 

We sell beauty products which might have some dents, scuffs or missing parts. This means you might receive a product that has some minor flaws, but what’s on the inside is perfect.  Remember, by purchasing from This is Beauty you have given that product a second chance at life, helped protect our planet and saved some money! Does that little dent really matter?

We try and be very transparent about the condition of every product we sell - and provide you with a handy key so you know exactly what you’re getting (see About our Products). You can check all details on your order confirmation, however, if you are unhappy with your item, please contact us at hey@thisisbeauty.com and we will happily assist.

Is my item completely genuine and authentic?

We guarantee every product we sell is genuine and authentic. All of our products come from large retailers, distributors and the brands themselves. Some of our products have dent, scuffs or missing parts, but what’s inside is always a genuine, authentic product. 

I’m unsure about an item, can I chat to someone about its authenticity?

Absolutely! Any questions you have about our products are welcome, we’d love to have a chat.

Just email us at hey@thisisbeauty.com and we’ll personally reply as soon as possible! 

My product arrived. Why is it different to the picture online?
