This store had the best selection of asian sunscreens which aren't normally available anywhere else in bug box stores. If you are used to ordering these types of products online, the shipping charges or wait times can be an inconvenience. I found the pricing very fair compared to what I normally pay. Sunscreens range start around the $15 range for popular brands like Biore or Skin Acqua, Suncut.. Tons of interesting finds if you know what you are looking for, otherwise if you cannot speak or read the language, most of these items will be very strange to figure out. Must visit if you love asian skincare, a great alternative to ordering online.

She specializes in Argan oil based skin care products. She has 11 different fragrant selections (that each product comes in so you can layer them) and every one of them is luxurious, rich, and absolutely lovely. There's an after shower body oil- (I love #10), a daytime and nighttime facial oil, a salt scrub, and lots of other products I haven't tried yet. I bought the body oil first and it made my skin so velvety soft, and I smelled so freaking good, that I went back the very next day to buy more. I purchased the day and night time oils, as well as the salt scrub, and they are all amazing. I'm totally addicted. I returned in December, and Margan remembered me - which is uncommon these days. She's so friendly and helpful. I brought my Mom with me this trip. I had been telling her how wonderful the scents and products are, and when she started smelling them she said "oh my goodness! They're all so beautiful how can anyone decide on just one?!" YES - they're that wonderful. I'm not doing the place or the products justice, but I love supporting local businesses and this one is amazing. You won't regret stopping by. She's online at https://maisonmargan.com/en You'll get better info there -but the products are fantastic and Margan is lovely so I wanted to support her and recommend her. Give it a try!

This was a rather fascinating find. Considering I pay the same price range for sephora products I thought I would give this a try-I have tried : 1) Kiss me liquid eyeliner (~20$) I loved for its fine felt tip 2)lululun deep hydrating face mask A popular Japanese product (7 refills for 10$)- this is great for daily or occasional use 3)coloured contacts (~15$ each eye, prescription based one year disposables-base curve8.6, diameter 14.2 mm). As a medical professional, make sure you get the correct measurements for contacts so you don't scratch your eye! But these were fun to try out- I got them in honey and gray. 4) Liese hair dye (19$ - non bleach based products offered,with foam application) I loved this hair product as it wasn't hard to use - and had easy to follow instructions

I love this shop! I happen to be entirely obsessed with Asian skincare products and cosmetics. This…read morelittle gem has a variety of primarily Korean and Japanese items that cover a number of needs and wants - make-up, masks, lotions, lashes...you name it. I've used probably over a dozen of their sheet face masks, a peel-off charcoal mask, lotions, and I'm a big fan of the collagen candies. Every item has been high quality, and the only downside would be that I find some of the prices to be a tad on the expensive side. However, packed into the rather small space is a place where you can most definitely discover something new that you'll just have to try.

One of the girls actually reminded me I still had an extra 10% off, which was a nice surprise. I picked up two perfume sample sets from a brand I've been wanting to try, so I was really happy with that. Also loved their new checkout system they can actually ring you up while you're waiting in line if you're paying by card. One of the associates pulled me aside and checked me out on her phone, which made everything way faster. Overall, really smooth experience. Would definitely go back.

Regular prices are quite high, but that is usually the case for imported cosmetics. I totally lucked out on my last visit and scored some mascara on clearance for like 95% off! I got 2 Innisfree mascaras (they call them microcara because the brush is tiny/micro, lol) for $0.99 each! The regular price of one of them (the waterproof one) was $19.99 and the regular price of the other one (the non-waterproof one) was $16.99. The best before date was 3 months from the time that I bought them (which explains why they were on clearance). You're technically supposed to replace your mascara every 3 months anyway, so no big deal. If you like Korean cosmetics you should check out C&C Korean Cosmetics!

You want professional quality hair cutting scissors? Name your price range, he will pull out a black sheath like chefs use for their knives and let you take your pick. You want dry shampoo? Argon oil? Professional styling clips? Round ceramic hairbrush? Diffuser? Straightener? He has all of these things at literally a quarter or less of what you could pay in a salon. The store is piled with boxes like crazy so it's best just to chat with the owners about what you need and he will navigate the maze and find it for you. This is a family run business operated by an uncle and nephew and they really know their product, super worth a visit if you're into this stuff for personal fun and want to save some money, or if you're a stylist starting out and keeping your costs low. They obviously don't stock every brand and when it comes to the product that works best for you they may not have what you need, it seemed like they focused more on the less expensive versions of popular product, but a lot of the time that is going to be exactly what you need without the markup for hype, so personally I was really excited to finally open my eyes and realize that this gem was in front of me all along.
