FAQs

What can I use as proof of purchase

You may use any of the following as proof of purchase:

  • Register receipt or e-receipt tax invoice
  • Beauty Loop account order history

What do you mean by "lightly sampled"?

"Lightly sampled" means a product may have some signs of minor wear or use, but must not be damaged unless you received the product in this condition.

I’ve received a product as a gift but it's not quite what I'm after. Can I return it?

Gifted products can be returned for an exchange or gift card within 90 days provided you have a gift receipt as your proof of purchase and the product is unused or only lightly sampled. Unfortunately refunds are not available for gift returns.
