Beautysense Review
About Beautysense
Before I dive into my Beautysense review, I thought I would provide some background on the company. Beautysense (beautysense.ca) is an online provider of professional beauty & cosmetic products. They are 100% Canadian-owned and operated and are based out of Montreal. According to their site, they have deep roots within the beauty industry operating successful spas and salons in Canada.
Beautysense was launched in 2013 with a vision of providing Canadians with a trusted and reliable source of beauty products. They currently offer over 4000 products from Canadian and International brands and are adding new brands every month. Their claim is that they “cater to each of you, our customer, to reach a goal of 100% satisfaction.”
Beautysense Perks
There is a lot I love about Beautysense starting with their Canadian roots. You can immediately take comfort knowing that you will likely not have to face insane shipping charges and lead times. In fact, Beautysense offers free shipping on all orders with no minimum spend required. That means you can essentially pick up that $15 La Roche Posay Lip Balm with no added shipping fees.
Another perk worth noting in this Beautysense review is their frequent promotions. You can see a list of their most popular promotions in the table below. My absolute favourite promotion is their 15% off the SkinCeuticals brand. For those of you who use SkinCeuticals products, you know that they NEVER go on sale. This is one of the ONLY sites that I have found in Canada that offers 15% off all SkinCeuticals products at least once a year. They are also an authorized SkinCeuticals Retailer which is important given the shelf life and volatility of some of their products.
