This location is tucked into The Arbor Village Center so it's surrounded by other eateries and businesses. Most people familiar with this plaza know that parking is a headache during lunch and dinner hours. I would not want to be here if it was overly crowded, but thankfully that wasn't the case when we were there on a Saturday afternoon. My friend recently visited Japan so she wanted to stop by to show me their popular haircare products. We ended up spending a whole hour here and I've added more products to my wishlist for the near future. I also walked out with a purchase and can't wait to try it. Notes: ~ Hours of operation are 11:30 AM - 8:30 PM daily ~ Opened in 2018 and it's a smaller store but they still carry wide range of cosmetics, skin/hair/oral/ personal hygiene care products, toys, snacks and lifestyle items (not just Japanese ones, but also trendy Korean and a couple of Chinese brands) ~ Prices are actually not outrageous (some products appear cheaper than the Japanese and Korean markets) ~ Aisles are a bit more narrow here so please be patient ~ There's a spacious sink in the back of the store for hand washing after testing out the wide variety of beauty products ~ Store associates are nice and ready to help find any product ~ Partnered with Fivestars for their loyalty program ~ Sometimes they offer deals like spend $50+ to receive a free gift ~ Products approaching end of shelf life are placed right by the checkout counter (items can be between 30-70% off) ~ Mobile payment accepted

It can be a little pricey at times, but it's honestly one of the only places I know that consistently carries Heroine Make and other Japanese beauty brands I regularly repurchase. They also stock a lot of viral skincare and makeup products, which makes it fun to browse. I'm often here when I need a cute small gift too because their Sanrio selection is so good. You will definitely catch me shopping here often.

They had a Black Friday sale for 20% off their entire store, so I was able to grab some Japanese Mintia mints at an affordable price versus getting it online. There's a good amount of beauty products and skincare. There's some imported Japanese snacks, some supplements, a small section of home goods like cleaning supplies or fragrances and this location has a small section for women's lingerie. Once in awhile they have blind boxes and kuji here too. I've done Moomin kuji in the past and we got a Poke'mon blind box as well. At the front they have a small selection of clearance items as well. They have a point system here too with your phone number.

The funniest thing about this location is that you can see all the boyfriends, husbands, and partners and their kids just waiting outside milling around on their phones while their S.O. is shopping inside. When I went on the weekend it was pretty packed. I liked that there are some brands you don't generally see at other Asian beauty shops and that there are samples you can, I guess smell or swatch. There's make up, skincare (serums, toners, sunblock, face wash, etc.), hair care, body care, and some household goods like those air freshener sticks. However, after a quick look through I was just ok with the prices and the selection that they have here for my own beauty and skincare needs. Some of the items are a couple dollars more expensive that what I could find online, but that's understandable. I think my only issue was the stock that they had of what was carried and the state of the samples. Most of what did pique my interest, the cute eye shadow palettes and make up, were all sold out but were still on display (10+ items like this not just a couple) and the samples that were out for swatching looked absolutely disgusting and dirty. Smeared lipstick and cream and blush everywhere, some had hair and dust and other things in it. I dipped real quick. I don't know, I've been spoiled with ShinuyaLa and I'm genuinely quite surprised there's no K-beauty shop equivalent that does it like them.

I love the idea of community gardens but couldn't it have been designed as a green house and is it possible to be updated? The area most definitely attracts natural bugs, birds, and probably too much sun which ends up ruining the crops, right? If it was indoors, instead, it could be cool and more monitored and automatic sprinklers could be added and the community can just pay a small fee for the upgrade. The roof of the green house could be solar powered and could be used to keep the place lit if needed at night or early morning or in the day; and it the can have power for the eco now building too. I was just thinking, because if the company is trying to be full on waste free then that could be a cool upgrade to the place. There can be monitors and cameras to the place if intruders try to break in or mess things up. Overall, Eco Now is super cool and doing good.

My mom told…read moreme that she had 20% off when buying Shiseido products on her birthday's month, so we came to this store as she was a member. I didn't know what happened but when I came in, I saw one Korean and one Vietnamese staff argued with her. Korean staff (maybe manager) yelled to her "come here, come here". I came and asked my mom what happened. She told me staff said she just had 15% off not 20%. She said last time, the other staff told her 20% and she had a question to them. It doesn't matter just 5% but the way that staff treated her is really bad. If they said sorry, they didn't know who told her but the policy is bla bla, it will be nothing. But they argued with her, showed her bills, asked her come to see the computer. They meant my mom told a lie? I came in and said I didn't know what happened but I disagree the way Korean staff talked to her. The attitude was really bad. When I expressed my thinking, Korean staff told me she just showed the documents from computer to my mom because my mom didn't listen to her. We can come to the store, can become a member; it means we can buy products. But if the staff before told her she can get 20% off, now the others told her different, my mom has a right to ask question. Did the Korean staff listened to my Mom?. I really feel upset because my Mom's English is not good but it is not the reason she gets the service like that.

They don't have a lot of selections compared to shibuyala, but definitely more than Tokyo Central/Mitsuwa. They also carry Asian sunscreens with filters that are not available in the us. Very light and not heavy feeling that you get with us sunscreen that burn your eyes. They do have a bunch of testers so it's nice when you can do that versus hope that a product work if you're buying something internationally online. It seems like the items are a little bit more expensive than online, but I guess it's the cost of doing business and person, labor, and shipping as well. They do have another random section with kitchen items. But I would say if it's a popular item in Asia cup and you'll probably find it here.
