What an incredible weekend in Vancouver! Celebrating my best friend's birthday turned into an…read moreunforgettable experience with our amazing friend Christina, a certified colour analysis analyst. Christina made us feel special and excited as she guided us through discovering our true colors. The session was eye-opening, highlighting shades that enhance our beauty and showing us what to avoid. Shopping will never be the same--I can't wait to use my new color palette! Christina tailored her advice perfectly for each of us, offering insights that no AI tool could replicate. It was a delightful mix of education and fun, filled with laughter. If you ever get the chance to experience colour analysis, do it! It's not just about colors; it's about embracing who you are. Thank you, Christina, for making our experience so special! Have any of you tried colour analysis? What was it like for you?

Can I give Zero star? T_T The worst shopping experience,…read morewithout a doubt. Can you imagine they refuse to refund under below conditions: 1. The item doesn't work at all. 2. 3 continuous exchange don't work at all. 3. Refuse to refund for the reason of final sale but didn't tell me during payment. 4. I requested to refund with receipt and defecting video. 5. The receipt says items are refundable within 7 days. Shameful store.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE How does a dollar store get five…read morestars?! The products are decent (at this price level), the service is typically good, and it's convenient to get in and out of - bravo! === 2. THE GOODS There are other dollar stores nearby (e.g. 5 and Cambie, Lansdowne, etc.) but this one is the winnah partly because of the selection: the store looks small on the outside next to PetSmart but it's large or deep on the inside. From housewares, to toys, to electronics, even to fresh breads and other groceries, there's likely something for you, especially as inflation and recession hit us post-pandemic. They do a pretty good job of bringing in seasonal (e.g. Halloween and now Christmas) items, and it's definitely our go-to place for greeting cards and gift wrap/bags. === 3. SERVICE Every time we've visited, we've had courteous service in the aisles when needing help and at check out: better than the competition. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's big and brightly-lit and relatively clean. It does get very busy though (for good reason), but that means baby strollers and wheelchairs may be squeezed in the aisles. Parking is ample in the shopping complex lot out front, which is what makes this location convenient: it's easy to quickly pop in and out with what you need!

I'm always a sucker for dollar stores. Sometimes when you don't feel like paying $5 for something…read morethat costs 50c, this is the place to be. Parking is not a problem here, as there is a huge lot. The store itself is pretty crowded, as the aisles are a bit on the narrow side. But I guess they had to do that to fit in 1 more aisle. You have everything from cards to balloons to electronics ($2 HDMI cables ftw!) and pet supplies. I could feel the clouds parting and a rainbow appearing. The location is quite convenient if you want to hop over the bridge, so I'm sure I'll be back.

Memory Collection is a small home to a large selection of highly marked-up Sanrio products…read more This store was the final straw: it changed my thinking of Richmond from being a mecca for finding arcane Japanese pop culture items to being an overpriced shopping destination. You will find a fun selection of Hello Kitty items and a smattering of Chococat, Little Twin Stars, Pochacco, etc. This store carries high end items like Tarina Tarantino jewelry and HK "designer" bags. However, as Kymberli notes in her review, you will notice tags cover the traditional prices one finds on Sanrio items with mark ups from 100 to 400% over the original retail price!! If you are desparately seeking a particular Sanrio item, this may be the place to check when all else has failed...otherwise, realize this is a mall where children & teens with very, very rich parents shop! 36/30

UM! Definitely the MOST EXPENSIVE and OUTRAGEOUSLY priced Sanrio/Hello Kitty store I have EVER…read morebeen to! ...and I have been to A LOT. Most of the items are marked up at least double if not triple or quadruple the retail price. I saw $5.00 stickers (which is already pretty expensive for stickers, but the suggested retail price) for $25!! Most of the items are current so you can still get them from online stores shipped straight from Japan for a portion of the cost. The items are also all chained up, even the stickers. You have to put your whole body and face up to a product in order to look at it. Another thing is I walked in the first hour it opened, had dim sum and walked back past that way and the store was already closed... weird! An extra star for having a lot of cute and unique items and the salesperson was pretty friendly.

They sell all types of footwear, clothes, make-up, hair accessories, jewelry, leggings, pantyhose, hats, scarves, bags, etc... The quality of their products have become much better than what I remember when I was in high school. I think this is a good store if you want a certain item where you don't want to invest a lot of money in. I recently bought a salt and pepper hoodie zip-up ($10), an acrylic long woven sweater ($20), socks (5 for $10) and tights (3 for $10). All of these items are generally throw around items that I don't mind replacing in a few months because I bought them at such a cheap price. Overall, never know what spontaneous trendy cheap item you'll score here. So browse on!

Great store to pick up socks and costume jewellery. Thinking the store is closing down last week as…read morethe entire store was 80% off. Heard of fast fashion then this is fast accessories. Pick up a scarf, some sandals, socks and jewellery for well under $20 with the change to go towards a bubble tea at Fair Bee. Not too busy and staff are not pushy so you can browse as long as you want as slow as you want. Bought lots of socks for $1.90/ 5 pack or novelty ones for $0.70 a pair.

Some of the lines are from Europe or Asia that usually private spas would carry. The staff there try their best to help you find the right products and will tell you the special deals that are occurring at that time. Lately, I noticed that they are carrying more and more Korean skincare products like sheet masks which I love to use ! Imagine the surprise when I discovered that when I check in on Yelp at the store I get a gift!!!! I was super excited to discover that the gift was a Korean brand of sheet mask! Yes, it may only be one sheet but it's worth $10! Wow! What a treat! I also found some Sailormoon related makeup too! Too cool!

These include: socks, scarves, mittens, chargers, headphones, fresheners, stuff animals, etc. Though it may seem similar to places you find in Richmond (Aberdeen Centre) or Robson St., the quality of the items seem rather good. Sample of things I bought: - Earphones $5 - works same and looks like those I bought from London Drugs for $25. 5 Stars. - Animal eye mask $5 - for traveling and also has hot cold gel pack. Just too cute. 4 Stars. - Toss Pillow with hand warmer pouch on the side $7 - kids just love it! 5 Stars. Payment is cash only for now. This is a fun place to find things you never thought you needed (you probably don't but still bought anyways. Great place to prep Party Grab Bags etc. Overall this is a welcomed addition to the Kerrisdale shopping corridor and brings variety to a weekend walk in the neighborhood. Update: credit cards now accepted.
