Orders

I wanted to buy a product but it’s now out of stock, when will it be back?

Because our supply chain is different from most our inventory will vary depending on what damaged goods we receive. As a result, we unfortunately don't know when a product will be back in stock - when it's gone, it's really gone!

How can I be the first to know if a product is back in stock?

Because we know how it feels when you really want something that’s gone...(it sucks) you’ll soon see a new feature on our website where you have the option to be notified when it comes back in stock. Simply favorite any items you love and you’ll receive an email notifying you when it’s back in stock, but hurry, it won’t be there long!

What should I do if I receive the wrong product?

We are so sorry that you received the wrong item. But don’t worry, the team will look into this right away. Just shoot us a message at hey@thisisbeauty.com and we will get this sorted for you.

Returns

Can I return an item if I change my mind?

These things happen! If you want to return your product we are here to help. All we ask is that you return the product in the same condition in which we sent it. Please contact us at hey@thisisbeauty.com and we’ll get right to it. Please note, for items that are deemed unwanted, or purchased by mistake, we kindly ask that you look after the return shipping to us.

Remember, some of our items will arrive with some degree of minor damage so please check the condition of the item you are purchasing carefully. Each listing will state whether the item is New, Imperfect Box, Imperfect Container, Missing Box, Missing Lid, Missing Pump, Small Amount Missing or Ex Display.

If you have any questions about the condition of a particular item, please contact us at hey@thisisbeauty.com before checking out.

Do you offer free returns?

If your item is faulty, incorrect or not as described, then we offer free returns within 14 days of your purchase. You will have to pay to return a product if you have changed your mind or no longer want the product. 

How do I return my item?

Sorry to hear you weren’t happy with your item. Please contact us at hey@thisisbeauty.com with your order number and a member of our team will take it from there.

I’ve opened my product, can I still return it and get a refund?

We only accept returns if the product is in the same condition we sent it in. If your product is not as described, or has been further damaged in transit, please contact hey@thisisbeauty.com and we’ll do our best to help.

Do I need an RMA or returns slip?

We purposely don’t include a paper return slip to reduce environmental waste. If your item was faulty, incorrect or not as described, we’ll email you a pre-paid returns label or QR code. 

How long does it take to process a return?

Once we’ve received your returned item your refund will be processed. Credit/Debit card refunds usually take 5-10 business days to appear on your statement. 

Where do I return my item? 

Once you’ve contacted hey@thisisbeauty.com and everything’s approved we will
provide you with a returns label (if applicable) and our returns center address. 

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?

You might not receive the exact item in the image.  Our images are only indicative of what type of imperfection that particular product has - but it’s what's on the inside that counts!
