I purchased one of their beautiful perfumes which has become the one I wear on a daily basis. I look forward to another trip to the Aesop shop in Waikiki to learn more about other offerings! The price point is a higher than I usually spend on fragrance and skincare so these purchases serve as treats. They are made more special by the kind service of Mabelle and team at this Aesop.

Who here doesn't like smelling good and saving money? (Rhetorical question :))…read more Perfumania is the place to do both. They carry both men and women's fragrances at fantastic prices that will save you money. The prices here are so much better than at the department stores. If they don't carry the fragrance you're looking for then go right next door to The Fragrance Outlet to see if they have it and/or compare prices. Very convenient! ****An added way to save is to ask if they have testers for sale. Not the used ones! They have unopened testers on the shelves on select fragrances. They're like the regular bottles in every way (including the spray tops) except that they don't have covers. I save the caps from my old bottles and use it on the new bottles that I buy.

The Cosmetics Company Store - Where Makeup Lovers Time Travel…read moreThis little shop at Waikele is a total gem. It's definitely not your giant beauty warehouse, but that's the charm--you walk in and instantly feel like you're on a treasure hunt. They've got MAC, Clinique, Estée Lauder, Too Faced, and other big names, but here's the fun part: a lot of it is from last season or limited runs. Think of it as a beauty time machine--you might spot that palette you missed when it first launched or a lipstick shade you thought was gone forever. The store itself is small, bright, and super clean. The staff? Friendly and helpful without hovering. The vibe is relaxed--no chaotic aisles or pushy upsells--just shelves waiting for you to dig in. Parking is a breeze (thank you, Waikele), so you can take your time and explore. If you're a makeup or skincare lover, this is like finding the VIP section of a sale rack--less "what's trending" and more "hidden gems worth bragging about." You never quite know what you'll leave with, but you'll feel like you scored.

I visited my sister and in her guest bathroom was a familiar scent. A scent I remembered from our…read moregirls trip to the Four Seasons Resort Lanai. It was a reed diffuser. Asked where she got it and she got it as a gift for Christmas. As she looked at the bottom of the bottle it had the word: Koke'e. She also saved the top of the bottle which is the design of the brand. Went on the internet and found it: Malie! Visited their store at Ala Moana Center, 3rd Floor between Kay Jewelers and Sunglasses Hut. The sales representative was very friendly, knowledgeable and confirmed that Four Seasons does use their products. They have other scents such as Pineapple, plumeria, mango, etc. and have hair/body products too. Walked out with a reed diffuser and room spray. Very happy with my purchase, will be back for refill and to try different scents.

This shop has my heart…read more They have the best quality soap, sunscreen, lotion and hand sanitizer. I've gotten all my loved ones hooked on the gardenia gel hand sani, and I can't go a day without their spf. But aside from their fabulous products, the thing that touches my heart most about this business is the personal touch they put on each order. When I used to frequent the brick and mortar store, I was always shocked and touched when they'd send me away with a little sweet goodie from their holiday promos like a bag of free soap ends or a chapstick or a Kailua dish towel. I moved away from the island a little over a year ago so when I was no longer able to visit the store in person, I began ordering online and having my favorites shipped to the mainland. Each time I've ordered a package from them, it's arrived beautifully packaged like a gift, with unexpected treasures inside like an "aloha always sticker", or a bonus soap. I will never stop ordering from Lanikai bath and body. Mahalo for making me tear up tonight when my latest Lanikai Bath package arrived in the mail. You guys are the best.

I've passed by several times but I finally went in and patronized Lanikai Bath and Body…read more Lots of soaps and lotions as one would expect. i wanted a car freshner utilizing essential oils and not the typical array of chemicals. Many smelled amazing but, after a few sniffs ( my sense of smell is not that good ) I chose one. I am particular if not possessing a good sense of smell. You have a choice from one of three free gifts - nit aure how long this is in effect. Employee was helpful and service was solid. Open from 1000a till 500p except on Sundays when they close at 400p. Lots of parking in the Kailua Shopping Center; lots of cars and shoppers visit the shopping center.

Ambiance- 4 stars Service- 5 stars…read moreProducts- 5 stars I visited Tony Moly on Ke'eaumoku street last week and felt like a kid walking through a toy store. So many things I wanted like their facelift mask, but stuck to my plan and exercised discipline! First, this store is located on a very busy street. However, parking was not difficult! If you are visiting another shop like Tour de Jous in You Me Mart or Wal Mart, it's walking distance! When I entered, the sales woman greeted me and was very helpful when I asked her about the facelift mask and the sunscreen stick. She shared three different options of sunscreen sticks and informed me that one was on sale. So exciting ! I ended up buying the Green Tea cleansing wipes, the Sunscreen sticks and a pack of 5 Watergel masks to which I was awarded a free face mask I'll definitely be back soon.

Not sure if the younger girl who can speak Korean and English is the owner or owners daughter or…read moremanager or what but she is very rude and they always try to push sales. I've been coming here for a long time, enough times since they have been at this location, and only recently, like maybe since couple years ago? to present have I seen this girl. Anyway, I came here with my mom last week to buy some moisturizer, toner etc and right away, an older sales lady comes up to my mom and started showing her these bundles that are supposedly on sale that says they are worth $700 dollars? No way and for tony moly brand!? My mom just uses moisturizer and toners/emulsions so she doesn't need all the other stuff which was just cleanser and eye cream, and samples. That whole brand line, there is clear on that shelf that says BUY 1 GET 1 FREE promotion. So assuming what's on the shelf - it's for the whole same line on that shelf and it was only that tony moly line on that shelf. They were selling singles of the toner/emulsions bottles & creams and then a set that comes with both toner and moisturizer. You would think the set is also buy 1 get 1 right? So I asked the lady is this set but 1 get 1 also? And she said yes. I asked her multiple times and also my mom speaks fluent Korean and she asked the same thing to her and she said yes! Ok so we get that that was supposed to be valued at $139.99 but in the set it's $59.99 or $60 and a cream since it's buy 1 get 1 at $90. Mind you this brand and these products I found out after are discontinued and singles sell for about $30 if they are available. So their supposed value prices are marked wayy up making you think you are getting a deal so you can buy it. Anyway, the lady is ringing us up and charges us double or x2 for the set. We ask her again, isn't the set but 1 get 1 free? This time she doesn't answer. Both me and my mom when she speaks Korean. She hesitates and looks to the youger girl. Then the girl gives some excuse of an explanation saying INSIDE the set box you're already getting the buy 1 get 1 free deal when why is the set box priced as if you're buying two singles?? But I said oh but it clearly states buy 1 get 1 for everything on this shelf she gets mad and keeps saying no, in the set is already buy 1 get 1. Ok we were still going to buy it but she didn't want to admit their mistake and stood her ground blaming me for misunderstanding when they are confusing the cutomer. I suggested she could make it clearer but saying to put the set is not included and just the singles are buy 1 get 1, that's all she had to do was say okay yea I see how that can be misleading or something like that. Instead she got angry and said we can't buy and to leave. Fine by us but she would have still gotten our money, but not anymore. I didn't catch the price thing at the time but I'm letting you all know they trying to trick you into thinking it's a deal but you're still paying full price for it! I know for a fact they are also charging more in the actual price because I've seen the jar cream sell at less than $50 couple years ago and I just checked on popular verified shopping sites it's still less than the $90 they are charging. The jar cream getting the buy 1 get 1 deal here is the same as you paying for the value of 1 jar that's less than $50 else where but still it's not honest and doubling the price value of 1 jar to make the customer think you are getting a deal I don't like. Anyway so I think the young girl didn't want to admit their mistakes and didn't want us to catch the price mark up so she got mad and told us to just leave. Ok, my mom was till going to purchase it and you were rude to us! The young girl had a very dismissive attitude from the start when my mom was just asking questions about the product to her even in Korean. I've noticed why some Korean beauty stores don't really do well here and have all flopped and went out of business. This store also carries other Korean brands, not just Tony Moly.
