Almost empty bottle of brow serum
Ordered a brow serum. Thought it was weird when I opened it that there was hardly anything coming out of the bottle. Turns out, they sent me a serum with almost no product in it. I ended up paying 50 euros for an almost empty bottle of serum. :)) Never ordering from them again.

Customer service
First of all, I’d like to thank Michael for responding to my email, correcting the situation, and processing my refund.
However, I noticed that the refunded amount is about $14 less than what I originally paid. I have been trying to contact your customer service by email to ask why this amount was deducted, but I haven’t received any response.
I would really appreciate it if someone could reply to my email and explain the reason for the difference.
Thank you.

The delivery service is rubbish
The delivery service is rubbish, I ordered items on Wednesday which I needed for the Saturday, I opted for next day delivery, they never arrived. To add insult to injury I received them on the Sunday !
As a working mua this level of service has really put me off ever ordering again,

Hi Christy,
We're very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to pay for next day delivery and have your order arrive several days later.
We've now reviewed your case and arranged a refund of your delivery charge. We can also see that our team has provided a discount code as a gesture of goodwill, and we hope this goes some way towards making up for the inconvenience caused.
We sincerely apologise for the delay and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Emailed customer services three times…
UPDATE: Beauty Bay STILL didn’t get back to me after emailing them again as they asked in their response to my review. It’s been over 6 weeks now since my review and their response, so I have given them ample opportunity to reply again. It’s been over 3 months since my initial emails. Don’t believe this company’s responses on here, it’s all for show and they still won’t reply to your emails! Terrible, terrible customer service!
Emailed customer services three times over 5 weeks, and have been completely ignored each time, despite an auto-reply claiming the response time would be one working day each time. Haven’t even been acknowledged!
I had a gift voucher on my account which expires end of July 2026. It was removed by Beauty Bay when the new company took over. I emailed to ask about this, and have been completely ignored. Even an email back to acknowledge me would have been appreciated!
I used to be a huge fan of Beauty Bay and was a loyal customer. I used to tell everyone how great they were, but not anymore. I won’t be shopping here again and will be warning others not to shop here too. Terrible customer service.

Why do I feel conned?
I buy beauty products most weeks. I've made a hobby out of scouring beauty platforms for new products/deals, because I'm truly one of the 'obsessed'. Beauty Bay is just one of my hunting grounds, although, in recent times, not my first choice. This week, I browsed the website and found a travel skincare set that was perfect as a small gift for my daughter. It had a generous discount and, having previously purchased direct from the actual skincare brand on TikTok, I knew the formulas would be good. So, I added a second one to my basket too. Got to checkout and was informed that, if I spent another X amount of money, I'd get free next day delivery. The courier service used by Beauty Bay is excellent in my area and always does Saturday deliveries. I popped a few By Beauty Bay cleansing balms in my basket to qualify and checked out. Guess what? No delivery. A word of advice to this brand's new owners: If you are incentivising customers to spend more than they intended, you better make good on your promises. That means actually paying the courier to deliver next day and also ensuring the goods leave your warehouse in a timely manner. Things do sometimes go wrong that, as a consumer, I accept may be out of your control. If they do, the decent thing to do is inform the customer. Unless you happen to roll out the deal of the century, I'm unlikely to shop with you again. I waited in all day and, yes, I feel conned.

Hi Belinda, thank you for being so candid with us. Reading that you feel conned is a massive wake-up call for our new team, and I am genuinely sorry we let you down.
You are spot on: if we incentivize you to add extra items to your basket for next-day delivery, we have to make good on that promise. While our delivery partners usually hit their mark, a breakdown in communication left you waiting in all day with zero updates, which simply isn't acceptable.
I really want to track down your parcel, see what went wrong, and make this right for you and your daughter. Could you please drop a line to help@beautybay.com? If you can start your message with the exact phrase 'Trustpilot review', it will route your email straight to a dedicated queue so our team can review your case and get this sorted for you. I truly hope we can earn back a spot in your beauty hunting grounds.
Poor Packaging.
My package took quite a while to come, which I can deal with. But when it arrived, it was packed poorly and was completely squished. I think that they should be more careful with their packaging in the future.

Hi Caitlin, thank you for taking the time to let us know about this. Waiting longer than expected for a parcel is frustrating enough, but finally receiving it only to find the box completely squished is really disappointing.
As a new team, we are actively working on upgrading our warehouse and packaging standards, so this kind of honest feedback is exactly what we need to see where we need to improve. We definitely want to make sure the actual products inside your parcel weren't damaged and make this right for you.

Dreadful customer service
Dreadful customer service.
Received a notification from them that there was an issue with my order. No follow up email so had to contact their customer services.
Was told the following:
‘It was marked as disposed from damage through moving it around.
Sorry about that, we can not do anything once our logistics partner receives the parcels from us
Thanks

No offer to refund or resend, both of which I am fully aware entitled to.

Hi, thank you for sharing this. To be completely honest with you, reading that response back, I would be just as frustrated as you are. It sounds incredibly confusing, and I am so sorry for the mixed signals.
To clear up what happened: we have a brand-new customer service team, and the agent you spoke with was still in training and accidentally sent you the wrong information. While your parcel was unfortunately damaged by the courier en route, you were absolutely entitled to a full refund.
I've gone back into our backend system to verify everything, and our team did successfully process a full refund to your original payment method on June 22nd.
We are using this as a direct training case for our new team to ensure our communication is crystal clear moving forward. If you need us to send over the formal refund transaction receipt for your records, please drop a quick line to help@beautybay.com starting your message with 'Trustpilot review' so it routes straight to us. Thank you for your patience with us while we grow.

Hey, thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback.
A new management team took over the reins at Beauty Bay this spring, and our main focus has been completely overhauling our warehouse operations and upgrading our shipping speeds. Hearing that your parcels are arriving at insane speeds—and that our products have earned a permanent spot in your routine—is great validation that the changes we're making are working.
We really appreciate your support as we build this next chapter for the brand. Thanks again for shopping with us
Absolutely awful company
Absolutely awful company, sent an email before they went into administration and then one after they were back up and running, neither they replied to.
I received a Beauty Bay LED mask as a gift from a now deceased father, after three uses it no longer works so I reached out and asked for some compassion. They blanked me and subsequently now I will tell everyone I know how poor they are, terrible products, shocking customer care!
Do yourself a huge favour and use Look Fantastic or Space NK.

Hi Simon, first and foremost, I want to extend my deepest condolences for the loss of your father. Given the circumstances, I completely understand why this situation has been so heartbreaking for you.
I did some deep diving into our historical system to see what went wrong. I managed to locate your original message from February, and I am relieved to tell you that you were not ignored. Our team did reply to you immediately, but there was a small typo in the contact email on file (it ended in .con instead of .com), which is why our responses never reached you.
Because this is one of our own By Beauty Bay products, our new management team wants to step in and help you with this, despite the old company's files being closed. I have just sent a direct email to your correct address so we can bypass the system issues. Please keep an eye out for a message from help@beautybay.com so we can get this sorted out for you.
Awful
Awful, I sent £85 worth of goods back in February this year and I have proof that I returned the items but they are refusing to refund it as it went into administration, despite there being proof it was received back by them BEFORE they went into administration. No one wants to take responsibility for giving me a refund. What a joke of a company

Hi Gemma, thank you for sharing your feedback. I can completely understand your frustration—returning £85 worth of goods and not receiving your money back is incredibly stressful, and I am very sorry you've been caught up in this situation.
To be completely transparent about what is happening here: Beauty Bay went into legal administration and came under entirely new ownership and management this spring. Because of the strict legal rules surrounding the administration process, our new team is legally blocked from accessing, processing, or paying out refunds for any transactions or returns that predated March 6th. The funds from the old company are entirely frozen under the control of the administrators, which is why our customer service team physically cannot process this for you.
Because you have proof that the return was received by the previous company before the shutdown, customers caught up in these legacy administration timelines usually find that their best route for recovery is to contact their bank or card provider directly to explain the situation and explore their dispute options.
We know this is an incredibly frustrating roadblock. Once you have managed to look into this with your bank, if you are ever open to giving the new era of Beauty Bay a fresh chance, please drop us a line at help@beautybay.com starting your email with 'Trustpilot review'. We would love to welcome you back properly with a direct gesture of goodwill to show you how different our new management is. We truly hope you get this resolved safely through your card issuer.

Hi Luke, thank you for sharing your feedback. I completely agree that an item arriving broken is unacceptable.
I tracked down your details using the order number provided and noticed this purchase was actually from May 2025. I can see that when you contacted us on May 9th, 2025, our team replied within 48 hours to offer a resolution, but we never received a response back from you.
Because a full year has passed and Beauty Bay has since gone through a legal administration process under entirely new ownership and management, we are legally blocked from issuing refunds for old transactions from the previous company. However, our new team still wants to make this right. Please drop a quick line to help@beautybay.com starting your message with 'Trustpilot review' so we can arrange a goodwill gesture to welcome you to the new era of Beauty Bay properly.

Hi Debbie, I am so sorry for the incredibly frustrating experience you had back in April with your delivery, and for the delay in our response.
To be completely transparent, right at the end of April, our customer service department was undergoing a complete structural transition under our new management. This unfortunately caused a temporary period of downtime where our systems were offline, and we know it left you facing a roadblock when you needed us most.
Even though some time has passed, our new team is actively reviewing these older cases to make sure no customer is left out of pocket. If this delivery issue was never fully resolved by your bank or the courier, please drop a fresh email to help@beautybay.com with your order number. If you start your message with the phrase 'Trustpilot review', it will route straight to our dedicated queue so we can step in and make this right for you.

To be completely open with you, right at the end of April, our customer service department was undergoing a complete structural transition under our new management. This caused a temporary period of system downtime, which is why your emails were met with silence during that week. We are truly sorry for that breakdown on our end.

If you still need assistance with this, please drop a fresh line to help@beautybay.com with your order number, starting your message with the phrase 'Trustpilot review'.

Still waiting for my refund
Still waiting for my refund - Order #NRR5-JFQN-DR8X-3
Review: I am extremely disappointed with the service I have received. I placed an order (Order #NRR5-JFQN-DR8X-3) months ago, and despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue through customer service, I still haven't received my refund. The communication has been very slow and unhelpful. It is unacceptable for a reputable store like Beauty Bay to hold a customer's money for this long without a clear resolution. I hope someone from the management team sees this and finally processes my refund immediately. I will not update this review until my money is back in my account.
