Are you a fan of Benefit Cosmetics? They haven’t been in Malaysia very long and can be found at Parkson Grand KLCC and Metrojaya MidValley amongst others.
If you are familiar with this brand, you’d know its top sellers are BeneTint cheek tint, Dandelion and Georgia blushes and Boi-Ing concealer, just to name a few. Their packaging is cute and girly which appeal to many.
You’d be interested to know that the prices in Malaysia are actually very much marked up. It may be something to do with the conversion rate or the cost involved in bringing in the brand. But, I found the prices too high. e.g. Dandelion blush costs RM129 (US$37.63) whereas it only costs US$26 in the USA. A Chanel blush costs RM133 and to me, the quality of Chanel is better.
Anyway, if you know what you want or want to try out at the counter first then buy online, Benefit Cosmetics online is having a promotion for FREE SHIPPING for international customers with purchase of US$85 or more. And you’ll get 2 free samples too. Use the code INTLFRSH at checkout. So, grab your buddies and convince them to try Benefit so you can all chip in and share. It’ll cost you less in the long run buying online than buying in Malaysia. I don’t know how long the promo is for though so check the site out if you want more info.
p/s I don’t get paid for this and this info is based on an email I received from Benefit 🙂 Enjoy!
I love the Benetint and I use it on a daily basis. It’s so easy to use and I also paint it on my lips and it’s a non smudge lip color that is very natural. Love it, Love it, Love it.
truebluepenangite: I haven’t tried Benetint but lots of people rave about it. I presently only have Georgia which I rather like, to be honest 🙂 But I didn’t get many raves for the rest of this brand
Does singapore sell benefit cosmetics? I’ve went to tangs and isetan but I can’t seem to find them. Maybe I’m not looking hard enough.
Vampyress: I’m not sure if Singapore has Benefit. They may not. If you are looking to buy though, the free shipping offer on their site is a great deal if you can get some friends together 🙂
hi ya…i’ve found my new friend in Benefit,…n am truly deep in love wit d product. I love d dandelion blusher d most. it’s so au naturel. But, i have a problem in getting them, as in Kota Kinabalu, d brand has not arrived yet. have to fly over to KL to get them…n it’s very costly n troublesome…
Hi jacypete
Don’t shop in KL – shop at benefitcosmetics.com! They ship internationally and is cheaper even after conversion 😉
Hi there
Does anyone know whether we have to pay for import duties and tax on buying the benefit cosmectic products from the US online from Malaysia ?
Thanks
Charlene
Hi Charlene, I’ve never been taxed and neither have my friends when we share orders. Happy shopping!
Hi there
Thanks for the update.
I love the new sugarbomb face powder and the one hot minute face powder from Benefit, and also the all time favourite, Dr Feel Good !
There is currently a free international shipping offer for all USD115 purchase online.
Regards
Charlene
There usually is free international shipping if you can hit certain targets which change from time to time. US$115 is the usual threshold for now. I love Benefit Sugarbomb too!
why i can’t find “do it daily! moisturizer” here..
i really want it!!
Yea, i love that “do it daily” moisturizer too! checked in klcc parkson, they said they weren’t stocked with this for some time! but u can get it from the benefit US website.
I wanted to buy from online… but it doesn’t seem to have the free shipping promo 🙁 anyone knows the promo code number? also, it was rather weird that they ship everything else except TONER. they say delivery to malaysia is not included. @[email protected] I’m from Kota Kinabalu btw.
Help!
The latest free shipping offers are always stated on http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/gp/home.html and click on “Shipping Offers”. The free shipping promo code changes from time to time. There must be a reason they don’t ship toner – perhaps its because its so liquid and is liable to spillage. I have never had problems with regular makeup.
