Cult beauty brand Benefit lands at Auckland Airport

By MiNDFOOD

Cult beauty brand Benefit lands at Auckland Airport
Jet-setters now have access to an extensive range of beauty and skincare products, tax-free, at Auckland airport.

For a quick beauty fix during those long hours at the departure hall, drop by or make an appointment at their Benefit Browbar, a one-stop brow shop with a full range of brow and facial waxing services and exclusive traveller packages, leaving no excuse for not arriving well groomed.

Quirky, retro and fun, Benefit is a San Francisco cosmetics brand started in 1976 by make-up artists and twins, Jean and Jane Ford. Recently retired, the twins have now handed over the company to Jean’s daughters, Maggie and Annie Ford Danielson. After a lifetime of playing with powder and paint, the second generation of the “sisterhood” is more than equipped to be Benefit’s new “global beauty authorities”.

With the kitsch pinup cartoons, irreverent names, creative packaging and the feel-good philosophy behind the brand, there is little doubt that the fun-loving, free-spirited and wholesome approach to beauty is the same now as it ever was.

Justin Fullerton, Benefit Cosmetics General Manager for Australia and New Zealand, says he is thrilled to have launched Benefit at Auckland International Airport. “Now travellers can put their best face forward with a brow arch before take-off at Benefit’s new store, or pick up a last-minute duty free beauty fix to keep them looking bright and beautiful while they travel. The feedback so far has been fabulous.”
