Last year I decided to give them a try buy purchasing few of their items to try...I have to admit for the money you really can't go wrong. The company was founded in 2004 in Oakland, CA and the purpose is to seek high quality cosmetic and beauty products; sell them at an affordable price point. As a result most of their items sell for about $3-$6. Of course companies like Consumer Report have been reporting for years that the $36 shampoo and the $25 mascara that you buy does the same thing that the $1.00 Suave does or the $3.00 Maybelline...which by the way is super model Cindy Crawford's favorite mascara https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/beauty-products/g26132693/cindy-crawford-skin-care-routine/ Allure magazine wrote an article recently on celebrities' favorite drug store brands here https://www.allure.com/gallery/celebrities-favorite-drugstore-products I think there is some kind of psychological thing where we feel that if it's $3.00 then it must be inferior when in reality the $25.00 mascara is probably made in the same factory as the $3.00 but it's slap with different label....I read a while back that Christian Dior makes Sephora's house brand make-up which makes sense since they're owned by the same company.. You can find E.L.F. items at all your favorite discount places like Walmart, Target, Ulta beauty, CVS and Walgreens....check their website for more retail locations https://www.elfcosmetics.com/store-locator Right now their stock is trading about $9 and change....the company is really healthy financially.......both short terms and long term. In fact they've ramped up their profits by 47% from last year. They have seasoned executives running the company...the Current CEO hails his way from Clorox and Schiff nutrition...and they have a strong overseas market....worth checking out if you're looking for an undervalue stock....

My mom has been going here for a while now and she sees KK. She raves about how great KK is and…read morebased on the other reviews, I can see why my mom loves coming to see her monthly. She talked me into coming to get a facial and I had no idea what to expect. It's been years since I had a facial. KK was suppose to do my facial, but wasn't available so CiCi (or spelt CeCe) took care of me instead. Yo! The facial hurt like hell! Had me tearing up, lol. It was painful, but my face felt so nice and clean afterwards! CiCI was very nice and sweet. She was honest and very knowledgeable. She showed me the paper with my ugly pores and gunk, lol. It was disgusting. We even joked around a bit too! I have a lot of tattoos and I mentioned how the facial hurts more than getting a tattoo, lol. But the massage was very comfortable and relaxing. The entire process was overall excellent and I enjoyed it. I caught myself dozing off a few times. Yes, my face was red after but also glowing. CiCi also said that I have some skin tags she can pluck or laser them off next time. She mentioned there is numbing cream which I'll probably need. I heard it's painful, lol. I'm scared. But I'll have to come see CiCi again soon! Thank you! Highly recommend! I can't say how much it was because I don't even know since it was my mom's treat.

Beauty Legend is one of the best establishments -- professional, experienced staff, and incredible…read moreresults. What I love about Beauty Legend is that the staff is amazing -- knowledgeable, evaluating your skin and explaining what is being done and what is recommended. No pushy sales, no pushy products -- just simply caring for your skin and recommending what would work for your skin type! As the facials are solely dependent on your skin type -- the focus caters to the person. For me, my facial started with steam, exfoliating, extraction of black heads and pores, following a neck and head massage. And then, masking and hydration. Products used are hydrating for my skin. I also had other areas that I wanted to focus on my skin and my concerns were addressed and treatments were recommended. The whole treatment and process was incredible -- the extractions did hurt but it was necessary and my skin feels so much cleaner and better. I truly trust KK and Cece and I appreciate their kindness and care when it comes to my skin. Looking forward to my next treatment -- worth the wait and totally worth the drive! Definitely deserves more recognition; small space but filled with lots of wisdom and experience in the beauty industry; love and care for your skin; such a hidden gem! BEAUTY LEGEND ***** FIVE STARS *****

I found this place through Yelp and I was surprised because I've drove past it at least 1k times…read more The cosmetics store sits in the parking lot of KP Asian market but you can't see the entrance from the street so it's easy to miss. Once you pull around the back there's a decent sized building with cosmetics, skincare, hair care and home goods (think pots, pans, serving trays, utensils, EVERYTHING). The cosmetics section has a ton of Korean skincare, makeup, and masks for the face, hands, and feet. Even hair care and mens products. I love the variety, I spent over an hour testing, smelling and browsing. Some advice before going: know your skin type, know what skin problem you want to solve, and set a budget. Their Korean skincare products range from $10-$60+ each. I splurged on moisturizer ($100 for 2) and got a less expensive skin peel ($20) and toner pads ($10). The rest I spend on 6 masks and the total was $149. The woman at the counter listened to my skin issues and recommended products based on our short conversation. I've had zero issues with what she recommended. The toner pads broke me out, but SURPRISE the woman suggested twice I choose a different product and I didn't listen. I'm goin to check out their exchange policy and will update after!

If you're looking for someone who will not only get you right but make you feel seen and respected while doing it, I highly recommend her.

Like gurl, I'm not asking you to find a cure for cancer lmao, jeez... she seemed to have an attitude while bagging it. Funny thing is look at my photo, the bags are perfectly fine after making it home. Maybe she was having a bad day. As a fellow retail worker at a different company, I understand... but still no reason to get an attitude over a simple request. On top of that, the store itself is depressing. Almost everything is locked (basic hygiene items, ice cream, lotions, air freshener, medicines, etc.) Better off ordering from Amazon, at this point. They make you feel like a pest if you ask them to unlock something.

I asked Dr. Chin about a tummy tuck, upper arm skin removal and liposuction around hips and lower…read moreback. He advised that the tummy tuck would take about four hours and should be first. If I wanted to move forward with the other surgeries, they should follow. He advised that a quote would be emailed, which never arrived. I called the office the following week and the receptionist made excuses for the business manager, who was to forward the quote. She'll be back in the office Monday and you'll receive the details then, yet no email arrived. I called a week later and my calls (phone number) had, apparently, been programmed to go sraight to voicemail automatically. I understand that Dr. Chin didn't want to move forward, but why wouldn't he simply just say this during the consultation, e.g., 'I don't believe you're a good candidate for this procedure.' or 'I don't think I'm the right doctor to proceed with this. Let me recommend someone else.'?? In fact, he ended the consultation with "Yes, we can definitely do this. The front desk will provide a quote and schedule, if you want to proceed." Based on this experience, he and his front desk staff were lieing to my face (and ears), which was both frustrating and incredibly unprofessional. If Dr. Chin didn't want to do it, he should just say so and/or have his staff advise. At least, he could show a little respect for others. He should not take people's money (the consultation fee isn't cheap), then lie to them and have your staff lie, as well. If you want an MD like this, he'll happily take your money! I'd rather trust my surgeon, one with integrity and basic respect for potential clients (patients).
