  On 8/31/10 I was at ************* in ***********, ***** and stopped at the Bella Terra kiosk to get an eye shadow primer. The attendant was unbelievably aggressive and kept me there trying to sell me literally thousands of products and I just kept saying no. She began to throw in all sorts of free products to incentivize me to buy just one more thing. It got confusing but I was under the impression I may have got talked up to $100-$200 ish dollars. I left there with buyers remorse but the attendant gave me a sob story about being a college student and first generation immigrant and I felt for her. Moments later I checked the receipt and realized she had charged me for all the products she said would be free gifts so in total she charged my card for $615.29. I immediately brought it back to refund and she said she couldnt do it but she gave me their card to follow up with their customer service department. The number on that card and the website both led me to a whole seller who just sells to Bella Terra and claimed zero responsibility. They advised me to call the number on my receipt. I was told that was the manager and the only one who could refund me. He took a week to reply and basically said to take it up with my bank and he wouldnt dispute the charge back. I tried that but after a month the bank closed the case and told me to get back in touch with the manager to sort it out. When I contacted him again he wanted proof that the case was closed. After I produced that he then said he could not refund me because I chose to file a claim with my bank. He is now refusing to acknowledge any wrong doings and still wont let me just return the products and be refunded.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  
  
  There has been no customer service team to reach out to. I was told to deal with the manager of the specific location I purchased from. That manager has refused to refund me and mocked and taunted me. This reply from them is them again just trying to pass me off to that same rude man who is refusing to help me. There is still no way to get my money back or return the products. This company is a scam. Their employees are bullies who do not take no for an answer. Even when youve been beaten down by them and begrudgingly agree to buy something, they will charge you for products you did not want to purchase and then say no refunds and theres no one I can even talk to. They need to be put out if business. 
  
  Regards,

  Items were purchased on 08/10/24 and I had an ALLERGIC REACTION to the products, when I we to their kiosk where the items were purchased to obtain a refund as I was not able to use their products. I asked to speak with the manager and was DENIED that option and the persons there kept trying to pursuade me to exchange it for a different product, I kept telling no that I need a refund as I am not able to use their products. I was told that due to their no refund policy that they would not refund. When I told them that on the website it indicates that I have 14 days to refund or exchange. I was told oh well by law we don't have to obide by that.

  Good Afternoon,
                I am sorry you’re not satisfied with your product. If you’re wanting to inquire about any returns from purchases made at a physical location, then you would need to speak to the manager or owner at the location that you made your purchase at. There should be a number on your receipt. I am not sure of their specific return policy. I know that most of the return/exchange policies are within 1-30 days. We, here where you have contacted, are a wholesale company that supplies to independent retailers across the world. They're their own smaller independent companies. We handle our wholesale customers and our online retail store. Again, I am sorry you are not pleased with your product(s). I hope that this is helpful and that you have a great day!

  On March 17, 2024 I purchased some eye liner. The lady doubled the price and then I imagine she felt guilty and spontaneously decided to give me another eye liner for free. When I arrived home I discovered the either of the eyeliners worked and when I looked up the bar code or the batch number I was unable to determine the expiration date. I feel like the makeup is counterfeit makeup with fake with untraceable bar codes.

  Hello,

  We have been communicating with the customer via email, she informed us of the issue and we replied back to her letting her know that we are the wholesale company that supplies to independent retailers across the world, they are their own individual companies and that she should contact the location from where she bought it in order to get a refund. she then had notified us that there is no phone number on the receipt so we asked her to let us know in which of the locations she made her purchased at so that we can get in touch with them and have them process a refund but she never provided us with that information.

  we are able to help only after knowing in which location the purchase was made in order for us to get in touch with them and ask them to process a refund.

   

  please let us know if you have any additional questions.

   

  Thank you,

  I bought some of your makeup and brushes at Willowbrook Mall. I left without a receipt because I was being pressured to purchase skin care products in the amount of $1600. I had no idea what the cost of the makeup was because when I asked, he whispered so softly, I could not hear what he said, and honestly just wanted him to leave me alone. I felt so incredibly pressured and overwhelmed because even after I said ok to the makeup, he just kept getting more products to try on me. After I got home, I saw the makeup I purchased was $385 by looking at my credit card statement. After contacting the salesperson, I discovered my card had been charged for $1600 for skin care products I didn't even take home! The charged was declined on my card and i received a text about fradulant charges. I replied it wasn't fradulant and he ran it again. It was declined a second time so he ran it through a square attachment on his phone. I told him I couldn't afford it and did not sign the transaction but it went through anyway. I went back to the mall to get the products because I was charged for them and there's no way I was leaving it there at the kiosk. He said no refunds just exchanges. This is a dirty business!!!!! Soemone needs to be held accountable for the behavior of the salespeople!!!

  On March 9th, I purchased over 500.00 in skin and makeup products at the Woodlands mall. In the following days, I got a massive skin reaction from all the products I bought. I attempted to call the customer service number on the receipt; however, it is not in use. I also called the wholesale number, and they weren’t much help. The representative told me a manager would contact me within 24 hours, but they couldn’t provide me with the manager's number because it was “private.” Considering the number of complaints here on the BBB website, social media accounts, and good reviews, it seems customers' issues are never resolved. The independent retail kiosks are disconnected from the wholesale company, which is odd because you are able to purchase products online as an individual customer. I demand a refund for myself and the others you scammed. I don't want to hear from the wholesale company but the manager of the retailers!!!

  I was at the Grapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine, TX kiosk on March 13, 2013. I was told a price and charged more than double that on my credit card! I went back to the kiosk and they told me no refunds only exchanges. I have also called the mall to speak to the kiosk. RUDE RUDE RUDE. I was on vacation for Spring Break and live 4 hours away and cannot go back to them in person. I am wanting to send all of the products back and get a full refund.

  We are in contact with the customer by email communication and we will make sure that the retailer is able to assist and resolve this issue.

  As we mentioned on our previous response- this customer is not a direct customer of Bella Terra cosmetics as we are the wholesale company, we are in contact with the retailer that sold the products to the customer and will make sure that this gets resolved.

  we have received your inquiry via email and replied to you directly. As we mentioned on the reply, we are the wholesale company that supplies to independent retailers across the world, they are their own individual companies, therefor you would need to perform the refund process directly with the owner of the location where you made your purchase at, you can locate their phone number on the receipt or if you'd like you can send us your phone number and we will send it to the owner at that location and they will contact you directly. i know that in most of the locations they accept refunds within 7-14 business days.

  i hope that this is helpful and that you have a great day!

  - Date of Transaction: Wednesday, 09 November 2022, 11:48AM - Amount Paid: $124.48 I was walking around the Galleria Mall in Houston, Texas, when all of the sudden, one of the Kiosk representatives for Bella Terra Mineral Cosmetics pulled me aside and sat me in her chair, and started applying makeup on my face without asking for my consent. I was feeling a little exhausted because I had taken the Metro for an hour (I don't have a car since I'm just a college student) to get to the mall to fix my phone, so I just let her be. After going along with her show, she started putting different products into a bag and telling me how good of a deal she gave me. Without even asking whether I wanted to purchase these products, she asked me whether I wanted to pay with cash or card. Feeling flustered, I just sat there for a bit, but then she started adding another product into the bag. She kept pushing so I just said I would pay with a card, with a plan to return them later for a refund. However, I did not know and was not told that they don't accept refunds. I was furious and extremely worried when I got back to my dorm, and since my parents live 15 hours away, I'm trying to resolve this on my own...
