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.

I've only ever used one product and I do like it, but the customer service is insanely bad. I've…read morenever experienced such robotic pointless emails. My order was delayed in shipping (it was shipped 2.5 weeks ago), it still hasn't arrived and it may not arrive at all. Obviously they can't help a shipping delay, but once I asked for them to do something about it they offered to either replace or refund my order (which, btw, was one item and it was $25). I asked them to replace it, and then they emailed me again to say that was a "misunderstanding" and they can't replace it. Their customer service emails are never signed with a name and they read like they're written with AI. Awful, and will never interact directly with the company again.

Once I started using it Cosmetics I never stopped. And I keep adding more of their products to my…read morecosmetics bag. I buy their products at Ulta stores and directly from them, online. I swear by their Secret Sauce moisturizer. I started using it when I saw a wrinkle developing across my chin. I never believed anybody who told me a moisture cream delayed wrinkle development but when I saw a diagonal line on my chin I started looking for something to stop it from deepening. Within 2 weeks of using Secret Sauce I could see the wrinkle was lessening. It's gone now - look at my pic and you'll see no diagonal line on my chin! I can believe that Secret Sauce was developed in partnership with plastic surgeons because it works. I use it before bed at night and under my foundation in the morning. It absorbs into my skin and leaves a bit of shine on my skin's surface. I also swear by their Bye Bye Foundation. A dime-sized squirt on the brush covers my entire face and evens out my pale skin and dark freckles. It has a 50+ UVA/UVB sun protection and built in moisturizer so it's good stuff. My face doesn't have caked on make-up and my skin looks polished. I finish it off with a brush dipped with Bye Bye Pores airbrush powder. I now use their No-Tug gel eyeliner and love how it looks and that I don't have to sharpen the point, as I did with the eyeliner I used to use. I also use Your Lips But Better lip liner to color my lips before using their Je Ne Sais Qui lip balm. The color is deeper than my natural lip color so it's good for daywear/work. Yes, sleep, hydration and a healthy diet lend to looking good but my secret to looking good is "it"!

I have been going to this Ulta location for almost a year now. Everytime I go in I feel as if I'm…read morebeen watched the entire time by security and staff, but have just brushed it off because I thought I was overthinking it. Yesterday I was followed around the store as soon as I entered, not a single employee "serviced" me. The security guard just followed and kept pacing behind me. Finally a manager or someone spoke to them. I do not appreciate being profiled based on what look like and what I'm wearing. I work in retail and this is completely inappropriate. But as an Ulta member and as I have an Ulta credit card I also find myself questioning why I even shop at Ulta. Every time it is an unwelcoming environment while I'm just trying to run my errands.

Fun Korean skincare, clothing, and accessories store in West Village…read more There's a ton of face masks to choose from with some nice deals ($10 for 10) as well as more expensive masks. The middle of the store had lots of clothes to sift through and very cute, affordable accessories (rings, earrings, hair clips). The clothing sizes are a little confusing because all the tags are in korean, but I assume a lot of them are "one size fits all" kind of clothes. Theres a small changing room where you can try stuff on. I love browsing and seeing new trinkets, so this was a really fun stop for me. I ended up buying a cute hair clip. Would recommend stopping in and seeing what new things they have.

I tend to take 10-15 mins to shop because I like to take my time and do research. I personally dont think its a lot but I guess thats long enough to make them leave the register to check if I've stolen anything. They did that 3 times btw. But thats not where it ends, I'm chinese and speak mandarin fluently, but I dont look chinese. So they very blatanly started shit talking me saying "this girl has been here forever and hasn't gotten anything". It was 15 frieking minutes, get a life.

And the first thing I was shown when asking about something for dry skin was $140. I was like ummm yeah thanks. I did not come for that. I did leave with 2 face masks and a new facial starter kit and spent a whopping $24. One of the masks was an overnight Korean glass skin jawn. There is no parking but I would still return
