Conveniently located by the B/D/F/M/Q/N/R/W trains right across the street. They sell the trendiest Korean makeup and skincare products. If you ever happen to see your favorite kpop idol promoting one of these brands, then I think there's a very high chance of seeing that brand's products being sold inside H Art. There're Q tips and disposable cotton rounds for you to swatch their products on your hands/face/lips. I like to come here and restock on my stash of tinted lip balms, blushes, and eyeshadow palettes from time to time. Very fast customer service from patient, friendly and helpful staff. Both cash and/or credit/debit card are accepted forms of payment.

I unfortunately did not get a good look around the store because of this, but I tried to check out what I could in the little time I had. I saw that they carried a nice variety of skincare and makeup in the store: some items were on the pricey end but they also had more affordable options available. The store was also very clean and well-kept. On my way out of the store, I spotted Nayeon's (a member of the popular kpop band, TWICE) adorable bunny hat for only $19. Many kpop stars have been wearing this hat, from IZ*ONE to Stray Kidz: I was estatic to see that this hat was being sold in Koreatown. I have received so many compliments on the hat too!

It almost feels like a micro version of Olive Young, which makes it fun to explore if you're into discovering new or hard-to-find items. However the layout is quite compact, and during my visit, it was very crowded--which made it a bit overwhelming to browse leisurely. The tight space combined with the crowd made it tricky to really take my time. At one point, a sales associate was restocking shelves in a tight space and didn't move or acknowledge me as I tried to look at products, which made the experience feel a bit unwelcoming. I also found that staff in general weren't very approachable or helpful, so it's best to come in knowing what you want. Still, if you happen to catch it during a quieter time, Kosette offers competitive pricing and some great deals, especially on popular Korean skincare and makeup. Definitely worth a stop if you're building your K-beauty collection and prefer to shop independently.

TESO Life is a Korean and Japanese lifestyle and convenience store in Koreatown on 32nd Street,…read morespread across two floors. I walked into a space that covers a lot of ground, from snacks and drinks to beauty products, home goods, and collectibles, and the density of what is on display makes it easy to spend more time browsing than I planned. The snack selection is the strongest draw and covers an impressive range. I saw Asian versions of familiar American snacks sitting alongside Japanese and Korean originals, and the drink section downstairs is broad enough that finding something I have not tried before is a near certainty. The variety of drinks, many with anime or character branding, reflects a buying approach that goes beyond the standard convenience store selection. The beauty and skincare section upstairs is well stocked with Korean and Japanese brands that are not widely available at American drugstores. I browsed through everything from face wash to sheet masks and specialty treatments, and the prices are competitive for imported products of this type. Blind boxes occupy their own significant section, and the selection across different series is one of the better in the city, with reasonable pricing relative to what the same items cost at specialty toy stores. Home goods, toys, collectibles, and kawaii accessories fill the remaining floor space. For a one stop shop for Korean and Japanese lifestyle goods, snacks, and beauty products in Koreatown, TESO Life delivers a broad and browsable experience that rewards repeat visits.

The store itself was clean, well-organized, and lots to browse, with prices that felt on par with other cosmetic shops in the area. One thing I appreciated was how quiet it was compared to the trending beauty store just down the street. It was nice to explore at my own pace without the crowds. That said, the experience felt more self-serve, as the sales associate wasn't particularly welcoming or attentive during my visit. If you already know what you're looking for, it's a great little spot to pop into. Just don't expect much in the way of personalized help--but the product selection makes it worth checking out.

I want to report that this website continues to post and promote products that are clearly a scam…read more In my case, I placed an order for body creams on March 3rd, and the company that processed the charge on my account was a completely different one called MELIO. Right after they charged me, the order was canceled with the excuse that I had requested the cancellation, which is absolutely false. I never canceled anything. Since then, my money has been in dispute because: The company does not respond to emails. They only send automated messages saying someone will get in touch with me, but no one ever does. Meanwhile, MELIO claims that they already sent the money to the seller and is now asking me to either pay again or provide my card number so they can try to charge me again. Absolutely not! This is robbery. I should not have to lose my money like this. And who is going to compensate me for the damage? This situation is unacceptable. I have already reported this case to: My credit card company The Better Business Bureau The appropriate authorities here in California These two companies are working together to scam people. They are shameless thieves. Be careful!

I walked into a store that is essentially one large room, and the density of product on display meant navigating it during a busy period required some patience, but the selection within that compact space was broader than the size suggested. The Korean literature section covers both Korean language and English language editions across a range of genres, which makes it genuinely useful for anyone studying the language or looking for titles that are difficult to find at general bookstores in the city. I saw children's books in Korean, well stocked. The K pop side of the store covers albums, photocards, posters, keychains, stickers, and merchandise across a wide range of artists, with BTS having a particularly strong presence historically alongside newer groups. Pricing runs higher than what I would pay ordering online or finding the same items at a larger retailer, which is the standard trade off for a specialty shop in Manhattan. Album prices in particular can be steep, though sale events bring them down to more competitive territory. Individual accessory items like stickers and bookmarks are priced at a premium relative to their size, so going in with a sense of what I am willing to spend helps avoid sticker shock at the register. The store is a reliable stop for anyone looking for Korean books or K pop merchandise in a physical retail setting in New York, with the caveat that the pricing and the crowd level are both factors worth knowing about before I go.
