Benefit Cosmetics introduces 'The Benemart' in collaboration with the virtual shopping platform Obsess. This 3D virtual shopping experience will allow consumers to tap into their playful side through branded games, shopping experiences, and beauty try-ons. Arriving in time for the holiday season, virtual shoppers will also be able to explore Benefit's Holiday Gift Guide to curate personalized products based on quiz results.
"The Benemart is our very first 3D virtual shopping experience, and we are thrilled to welcome visitors inside to experience beauty like never before,” says Toto Haba, SVP Global Omnichannel Marketing at Benefit Cosmetics.
Avatars in 'The Benemart' experience can be individually styled with various outfits and makeup inspired by Benefit Cosmetics' most iconic products, covering everything from brow enhancers to pore perfectors, lash volumizers, cheek tints, and beyond.
