Benefit marketing director Hannah Webley-Smith said:  "Benefit’s strap line, ‘laughter is the best cosmetic’, really sums up the brand. We’re all about having fun and celebrating those moments that you spend with the gals. It’s no secret that Starbucks is our BFF (Best Friend Forever) and the perfect partner for this activity."

The two brands will also run a social media campaign via the #BestFriends hashtag, which aims to capture univeral truths about friendship.

Activity will also include ‘Pamper Parlours’ pop-ups at Starbucks stores in London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Liverpool.
