Benefit Boutique in Toronto Experience

Hey everyone! A few weeks ago, I went to the newly opened Benefit Boutique on Yonge St. When I was walking up to the actual store, I noticed a sign on the pavement that mentioned that with any purchase of a product in-store, you will receive a free brow wax! I originally went there to give my brows some TLC so I was intrigued by that.

As I walked in they offer you a menu of their services so you can glance it over and purchase off the menu depending on what you have in mind. 

As I looked around, I couldn't help but notice that the store had such a cool concept and there was a lot of pink. There is a modern yet old-feel to the boutique. Their branding is EVERYWHERE, even on their Tweezerman tweezers. I was browsing around and decided to try-out the Benefit Porefessional because I had heard nothing but great reviews about it.

I then sat down for my brow wax.

Keep in mind, I haven't let anyone touch my brows in more than a decade because I had a horrific experience when I was younger. The woman who waxed my brows right before I went to my middle school graduation, completely ruined the shape of them and left one completely straight while the other one was a very arched semi-circle. Needless to say, I cried before my graduation and vowed to never let anyone touch my brows ever again, other than myself that is.

I heard nothing but amazing things about their Brow Bar so I decided to give it a fair chance. They do something called Brow Mapping in which they determine the best shape for your brows given your face shape and how you want your brows to look like. They mark down the highest point of the arch, where the tail should end and the front part of your brow They then show you what they mapped out for you and then you tell them if you like it; if you don't like it, they will fix it for you and if you do in fact like it, they will begin waxing your brows.

My brow technician was fabulous and very meticulous. She did such a great job and I will definitely be coming back. She wasn't rushed and made sure to give me what I had asked for. She even asked if I wanted my brows to be filled in and I declined because I was heading to work. She just ended up filling the tails of them in.

When I was checking out, they offer you complimentary chocolate with sea salt. There is both dark and milk chocolate. They were delicious! They also gave me a sample of the Roller Lash to try at home. I plan on doing a first impression of this mascara in the near future. I also booked my complimentary brow wax during my birthday week and they are very efficient about it because I quickly received an email with the appointment confirmation.

I also appreciate the fact that there are tipping envelopes at the front cash so you can discretely put in the amount that you wish to tip and then hand it to your brow technician. There is also the option to tip using the debit/credit terminal. They really do go above and beyond here! I was thoroughly impressed and can't wait to go back! Great job ladies!

Quick tip to anyone that visits this boutique: If you are driving, just park on any of the side streets for free instead of paying at the meter on Yonge. Just don't leave your car on the street for too long!

STAY CLASSY.

Thanks for stopping by!
