Just wondering where is cheapest to purchase - Debenhams or BT? Thanks

I would recommend Ebay if you dont mind waiting for delivery. Even including the postage costs, you will save a fortune!

Hmm ok, thought i saw some stuff on ebay that seemed very pricey. Cheers anyway Really want to try some of their items such as Erase Paste and That Gal!

Feckin love their stuff, right down to the packaging!

The Big Lash Mascara, Throbbb blush, and benetint are all amazzzing products!!

Watch out for counterfeits on eBay!

www.benifitcosmetics.com is their website in the US. You can buy new products there and have the stuff sent to Ireland at considerably less expense than buying in shops here or online from the UK.With the dollar as it is it is really madness to buy this stuff in the shops. It usually arrives a week after you've ordered and it's much less dodgy than ebay.

You have to remember to keep your order to around 28euro/$40 or less including shipping costs to avoid tax however.

I have done this before and it is better than buying here, they also sent me a couple of sample/travel sized items.

Theres 4 particular items I want but it comes to 82 dollars without shipping! Gonna have to decide what I really really want the most to avoid taxes then Or is it possible to do two orders under 40 dollars or would i still be caught out?

Benefit is the same price everywhere. No difference between buying in BTs, Clearys or Boots! Love benefit!

You can do two orders to avoid tax. You have to pay for delivery twice but it still works out cheaper than buying in shops here. Its often worth googling for coupons with benifit too. They often have free gift offers with an order.

ye i was wandering if they are real items on ebay
for example i bought boi ing in arnotts, and it has a twisty cap and on ebay its a container with a flip top and a mirror.
spent 42 eur in the shop on a lippy and boing but they're great
also you can buy them in hqhair.com and they're a bit cheaper, not sure what shipping is like tho

Totally agree with the benefit website idea. Its soo much cheaper than buying them from shops over here and you get discount codes on some items and samples.

i bought boing last year in Brown Thomas and it came with a flip lid and mirror , I noticed the ones on sale now are in new packaging in the little tub with the twisty lid. Just updated the packaging I guess

Any of you ladies used the Benefit ''do it daily'' moisturizer?
Mad to try it - hopefully its suitable for my awfully bad combination skin!!!

I don't know if you can access without being a mamber (it's free), but it's getting pretty mixed reviews. 58% would buy it again.

You can often buy small samples of these things on ebay. They usually cost a few euro including delivery which is a rip off but better than buying the real thing for 30!
I got a free sample of that moisturiser from benifitcosmetics.com a while ago and I thought it was nice. It's quite mattifying and non greasy so it wouldn't be good for dry skin but would work for combination.

I bought $70 worth of stuff recently and shipping was about $12. Worked out way cheaper than the shops. Didn't pay any tax either. Free shipping over $100.

BTW I use Dear John moisturiser and find it great. Have quite sensitive skin though.

Yeah - that's what they did!

They just re-invented the packaging, the product itself is the same.

I feel so ... old skool with my my flip lid one now!

I did find the mirror useful though, kinda annoyed they got rid of that!
