Benefit Cosmetics

San Francisco's legendary cosmetics company Benefit now has a UK website for online ordering.

Founded in 1976 by identical twins Jean and Jane Ford, the iconic beauty brand was created to combine whimsical fun and quick fix products for every girl's peskiest beauty dilemmas. Benefit packaging reflects their fun ethos, whilst their products are famed for being beauty editors' favourites.

Their famous make up bag must-haves include; Lip Plump (a nude primer for fuller, sexier lips), Benetint (tinted lip and cheek stain), High Beam (highlighter which creates a young, radiant complexion), Ooh La Lift (magic balm for an instant eye-lift), Dr Feelgood (an invisible balm for matte skin) Hoola (natural bronzing powder) and BADgal lash mascara (which gives the biggest, baddest lashes).

The website is cute and quirky, with retro dolls' faces to illustrate product ranges. Browse their top sellers, make-up collections, fragrances and skin and body care ranges.

There are also some brilliant features, like the beauty school, which shows you how to re-create the latest looks yourself and their Now to Wow quick fix-it tips. To find your nearest stockist there is a store locator and you can order a catalogue.

Standard delivery costs £4.50 or is free on orders over £75.00.
