*Klarna's [Pay in 3] / [Pay in 30 days] is an unregulated credit agreement. Borrowing more than you can afford or paying late may negatively impact your financial status and ability to obtain credit. 18+, UK residents only. Subject to status. Ts&Cs and late fees apply: https://www.klarna.com/uk/terms-and-conditions.
Who is Klarna?
Klarna is a Swedish payment service provider that takes end-to-end responsibility for your payment. Klarna is the provider of smooth payments to more than 200,000 online stores. Over 90 million consumers worldwide have trusted Klarna to securely handle their payments.
How does Pay in 3 with Klarna* work?
Pay in 3 with Klarna* is a form of credit which allows you to spread the cost of your purchase over 3 equal payments. The payment for each instalment will automatically be collected from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. Your first instalment will be collected when your order is confirmed by Charlotte Tilbury and instalments 2 and 3 are scheduled 30 and 60 days later, respectively. You can always monitor your payments’ schedule in the Klarna app.
Am I eligible for Pay in 3 with Klarna*?
To use Pay in 3 with Klarna* you must be at least 18. Whilst this option is widely promoted, Pay in 3 with Klarna* is subject to your financial circumstances. When choosing Pay in 3 with Klarna*, our assessment will not affect your credit rating.
How can I increase my chances of being accepted for Pay in 3 with Klarna*?
Klarna is unique and offers Pay in 3 with Klarna* based on a number of factors such as the order value, previous order history and item availability. If you are 18 or over, you can improve your chances of being offered Pay in 3 with Klarna* by ensuring you provide your full name and accurate address details and shipping to your registered billing address. All orders are assessed individually. Just because you have been accepted for Pay in 3 with Klarna* before does not mean it will be offered for every order. In turn, if your application for Pay in 3 with Klarna* is denied, it does not mean it will be denied for all future orders.
What do I need to provide when I make a purchase?
If you want to make a purchase with Klarna using Pay in 3 with Klarna*, you'll need to provide your mobile phone number, email address, current billing address and a debit or card card. The mobile number is required in case we need to reach you. All communications will be sent to your email address. It's very important that you give us the correct details, as otherwise you will not receive your payment schedule and any updated order information.
Will a credit search take place against me?
Klarna may run so-called unrecorded enquiries (or soft credit searches) that do not affect credit scoring and are only visible to you and Klarna, but not visible to other lenders. Neither Klarna nor Charlotte Tilbury run credit searches against you that could impact your credit rating.
Why have I not been offered Pay in 3 with Klarna*?
Although Pay in 3 with Klarna* is widely promoted it is not always universally available. The Pay in 3 with Klarna* payment option is automatically generated by algorithms that are dependent upon a number of factors including address details, cardholder details, amount of order, the online store, previous order history and item availability.
What are my payment options with Klarna?
Payment for your Pay in 3 with Klarna* will automatically be collected from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. The first payment is taken when the order is confirmed. The second and third instalments are collected 30 and 60 days, respectively, after the first instalment. You can always monitor your payments’ schedule in the Klarna app.
What happens if I cancel or return my order?
As soon as Charlotte Tilbury have accepted your cancellation/return, Klarna will cancel any future scheduled payments as well as refund any amounts due. The return will be reflected in the Klarna app immediately.
What happens if I don’t pay for my order?
Klarna will automatically attempt to collect your payment for your Pay in 3 with Klarna* purchase at Charlotte Tilbury from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. If we are unable to collect your payment on the scheduled due date Klarna will make one further attempt to automatically collect payment two days later. Should this last payment attempt fail, Klarna will issue you a statement for the full outstanding order amount which will become payable 15 days later. Klarna shall notify you when a payment is due two days in advance of attempting to collect your payment and you can always monitor the due date in Klarna app at your convenience. You will not be charged fees when you pay on time. Your credit score will not be impacted by using Klarna’s ‘Pay in 3 with Klarna*’ product even if you have failed to pay on time. If you fail to make a payment you will be in default, and may be unable to use the service in the future. We may continue to attempt to collect overdue and currently due payments on subsequent due dates, or invoice you separately for the unpaid total. If you do not pay for your purchase, Klarna may engage with an external debt collection agency to collect on our behalf. Debt collection agencies are used as a last resort.
I have been asked to go to the Klarna site. Is this correct?
You can view all of your Klarna purchases and payment schedule in the Klarna app or by logging onto Klarna.com/uk.
Is my payment information safe?

If a payment has been collected but you have not received payment confirmation, you can always check the status of your order and payments in the Klarna app or by logging in at www.klarna.com/uk .
What happens to my statement, when I've returned the goods?
Once Charlotte Tilbury has received the return (partial or full) and you have received their confirmation of this, an updated statement with an adjusted payment schedule will be sent to you by Klarna if you've made a partial return. With a full return, we shall refund any payments collected and cancel any future scheduled payments.

How long will it take until I receive my refund?

What is Leaping Bunny?

HAS CHARLOTTE TILBURY EVER TESTED ON ANIMALS?
No, we have never tested our products on animals. We have been against animal testing since our launch in 2013 and the Leaping Bunny approval now provides all our customers with the reassurance of gold standard approval. Being a Leaping Bunny brand means having a supplier monitoring system that is implemented by ourselves and by our supply chain, as well as regular checking for animal testing throughout the supply network down to manufacturers. We follow a fixed cut-off date policy and accept ongoing independent audits, to ensure compliance with the global criteria. This approval is an important step for us and our customers, as it gives confirmation that we have been independently verified as doing everything we can to be cruelty free!
ARE CRUELTY FREE PRODUCTS LESS SAFE BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS?
No, all products must be tested for safety, and cruelty free products remain safe as they use humane and effective alternatives to animal testing and ingredients already approved as safe. There is toolbox of non-animal methods available to assure the safety of cosmetics. The development of non-animal alternatives has often been encouraged by initiatives like the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme.
HOW CAN CHARLOTTE TILBURY BEAUTY BE RESEARCH-POWERED WITHOUT TESTING ON ANIMALS?
We make wide use of consumer panel testing, human-based clinical assessments and safety, including patch tests, comedogenicity testing, and ophthalmological testing.

Yes! You can purchase your favourite Charlotte Tilbury makeup, skincare and fragrance products with the guarantee that globally, the entire range has been awarded the highest standard of cruelty free approval. To gain Leaping Bunny approval, a brand’s whole product offering must meet Leaping Bunny’s rigorous standards.

Do you have any plans or commitments to vegan certification?
Yes, we are committed to securing Vegan Society Accreditation and looking to start this post the Leaping Bunny approval process.
Charlotte Tilbury Expansion and Mainland China Launch
Are you expanding globally?
Being officially Leaping Bunny approved by the globally recognised Cruelty Free International programme has long been a strategic priority for Charlotte Tilbury Beauty. It is an important milestone for both the company and our customers. As we continue to expand our distribution into new markets such as Korea, Australia and mainland China, we want to give everyone the confidence that we do so in keeping with our cruelty-free values.
Have you launched in mainland China?
Yes, we are expanding into new markets such as Korea, Australia and mainland China. This expansion is in keeping with our cruelty-free values, supported by our official Leaping Bunny approval. Leaping Bunny approval has long been a strategic priority for Charlotte Tilbury Beauty as it supports our brand purpose and values, with cruelty free makeup and skincare for everyone, everywhere!
How are you able to launch in mainland China and be Leaping Bunny approved?
We will be the first Leaping Bunny approved luxury make-up brand to launch in mainland China, bringing our makeup and skincare magic in a way that maintains our brand values and purpose. We have created our own new production and distribution model in order to sell in mainland China, whilst also taking the critical steps with the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny programme to ensure we can retain our cruelty free status everywhere.
Before the Leaping Bunny approval did you sell in mainland China?
No - previously our products have not been available for consumer purchase in mainland China other than through the Leaping Bunny approved cross-border e-commerce model. This model allows international brands like us to sell products online direct to Chinese consumers through e-commerce partners, such as Tmall Global, without the requirement for product registration in mainland China or animal testing.
Can you explain your new domestic manufacture model?
Our domestic operation in mainland China is a significant, long-term investment for our business, which also adheres to the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny Programme steps to ensure we can remain cruelty free – an important factor for us. This is achieved in accordance with People’s Republic of China regulations by developing and producing the product formulations in our existing global suppliers before shipping them to our manufacturers in mainland China, where the crucial filling process is completed. This new supply chain model adheres to the Cruelty Free International Leaping Bunny criteria..
How has Leaping Bunny created a programme that allows for brands to be cruelty free in mainland China?
In 2020, Cruelty Free International – using learning and experience from its China Pilot Programme run with partners in mainland China – put in place carefully crafted criteria for Leaping Bunny brands using domestic manufacture in mainland China to sell their products and maintain their cruelty free status. Since a change in law in 2014, this process has not triggered mandatory animal testing for ordinary or “non-special-use” cosmetics, which includes the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty range available in mainland China. To ensure both product safety and cruelty free assurance, products are tested using internationally recognised non-animal testing methods. In addition, strong systems are put in place ensuring transparency with sales and distribution. This includes the ability for quick recall in the rare instances where there may be suspected public health issues or concerns raised.
What is post market testing and how can you be sure no animal testing takes place?
Post-market testing takes place during the rare occurrence of a serious consumer safety concern and involves the process of local authorities testing cosmetics after products have been sold in market. In China, the authorities are legally required to notify brands of any concerns and provide the brand with the option to undertake a quick recall in the rare instances where there may be suspected public health issues or concerns raised, and therefore avoid animal testing.
