After my recent trip to Japan I was bummed I wouldn't be able to restock on my favorite products anytime soon until I came across this place! They had a great selection of makeup, skincare, and beauty products to choose from! They were a great price range compared to trying to find them on Amazon! The aesthetic was so ADORABLE too! Between the pink shopping carts, claw machines, and overall set up, this place radiated good vibes!

Poplulu is an Asian supermarket and beauty store that recently opened up in Edison, NJ…read more The store is overwhelmingly cute and you'll spend quite some time just looking at all of the merchandise. Even the packaging for everything was so cute that you didn't want to open it! In the future, I hope they can add better signage because it can be tricky to find what you're looking for. Stop by to shop if you're looking for any of the following: *Asian cosmetics- They have everything from makeup to skin care to hair care. There's a few well-known Korean and Japanese brands like innisfree, peripera, and more. Testers for makeup products are available! *Asian snacks- Towards the back of the store, you'll be able to see aisles of ramen, mochi, candy, chips, drinks, etc. There's a lot of unique snacks for good prices. *Toys - There's a small section selling character collectibles from popular Japanese culture, plushies, claw machines, and more. There's a bunch of other miscellaneous items like slippers, luggage, silverware, etc. Oh... and they have pink shopping carts! I'm a sucker for pink.

If you want to be similarly pretty and slathered in shiny, sexy, wet-look make up, then this K-Pop inspired beauty chain will do you nicely (and so will I). So it's a really excellent Korean beauty store inside the 99 Ranch in Edison. It's expensive like most locations (they have them at many 99R or HMarts), but service is friendly and it's bright and sexy and well-lit, and you'll probably find some good stuff in here if you like these kinds of shops. Barbi certainly enjoyed it, as she usually does.

I checked afterwards only to find out the 60ml version is about $80 on Sulwhasoo's official website so I either over paid $60 or the promotion was non-existent. The store does not allow for return. Will never visit again.

In my never ending quest to maintain good health I have been aware of the benefits of certain…read morenutritional supplements to my regular diet that enhance the natural function of my body. For years I have added things like grape seed extract, ginseng, and other herbals. For the most part they seem to have been useful. Yet with age and study, I began looking for a more systemic way to sustain my vigor and quality of life. I am far from a true believer in anything, and have a healthy skepticism toward most of the advertising and word of mouth that suggested specific regimens or singular products represented as panaceas for good health. I just didn't believe most of the hype. Then about nine months ago, a good friend mentioned that she was trying some supplements from a company called NHT (New Health Trends) Global. She described some of the results she was experiencing after several months of taking them - like, better sleep, clearer skin, lower stress, etc. I believed her, and when she asked if I would be interested in finding out more, or trying some, I agreed, with my empirical eye thinking, "I'm not so sure about this, but I'll check it out." She thought so much of her results, that she now had a business relationship with the distributor. Knowing about other outfits that offer similar products, but require the purchase of expensive inventory, I asked about that, and was assured that she would provide what I wanted at reasonable prices, and that she never had that problem with NHT. So, I bought some Noni juice, Restore Silver, Omega III, and a few other things to address some of the "getting older" health things I was noticing. A month later, I began noticing small positive changes, but did not talk about them. Lightening age spots, better longer sleep, and even some weight loss. All good. Three months later, things were still trending in the right direction. Nine months out, and I am beginning to see someone new emerging in the mirror. Who is that younger dude? Satisfied that something positive was happening, and feeling no pressure to buy more if I chose not to, I attended an educational meeting at the Metuchen headquarters of NHT Global. There was an excellent presentation of the philosophy and strategic vision of the company, as well an orientation of their website, which was full of information about corporate vision and the full product inventory. Very useful in finding out who the management was, and how they conduct their affairs. NHTC also seems to be a successful small cap public company. They are doing quite well. The people with me all seemed curious and happy with what they were experiencing so far. They were all as friendly as they were curious. So, while still a skeptic, I find that I am slowly being convinced that these folks know what they are doing, and are truly interested in the health of their customers. Yes. If you want to be part of their success, there is a way to get directly involved, but that was not the thrust of this event, nor many of the conversations I have continued to have with my friend. I am still drinking the Noni, and swallowing a few of their capsules daily. Will see where this all leads.

Disappointed With Mismarked Dior Lipstick at Sephora…read more I was really excited to pick up a Dior lipstick at Sephora, especially because the shade I tested in the store was a gorgeous maroon red. The display color, the swatch, and even the label all showed a deep, rich red that looked perfect. But when I got home and tried it on in natural lighting, it was brown. Not just a slight shift--an entirely different color than what I saw in-store. I double-checked the packaging to make sure I didn't accidentally grab the wrong one, but it was the exact same shade number I tested. I'm not sure if the tube was mismarked or if the tester was incorrect, but it was really disappointing for a brand as high-end as Dior and a retailer as reliable as Sephora. For the price, you expect accuracy. I'll be returning it, but hopefully Sephora will double-check their testers and labeling to prevent this from happening again.
