A friend referred me to Beauty City for a place to buy authentic Korean skin care products -…read morehowever, the lady working there told me "I'd be better off shopping on line". I showed her a photo of a Korean product I had previously used - although they may nit have had that exact product, she had no interest in selling - or even taking the time to suggest something that she sold. It took me 45 minutes to get there for no help at all. I'm sure there are other Korean skincare boutiques in Annandale. If you want someone to educate you on the excellence of Korean Skin Care - then this is not the place for you..... Or me.

I love this place!! They have popular Korean skincare and they also have good deals too. Some of…read morethe brands they have are Sulwhasoo, IOPE, Innisfree, Laneige etc, they don't have a lot of selection but they have the trust worthy brand. The thing I love the most here is that the lady give a lot of free samples for you to try, which is awesome. I heard the lady said that they have different deals every month, I recently went and I got the one get one free deal on makeup brushes/ sponges, she said last month they had shampoo that was buy one get one. They also have good reward system too, especially if you buy a lot of skincare. Due to covid, the store didn't have a lot of BB cushion that I wanted but hopefully they will restock more products. The customer service here is very friendly, which is rare for Korean store. Don't feel intimated because most of the time you'll be the only one in the store, you can ask them for good recommendations and they will be honest. Definitely coming back for some skincare and bb cushion.

My Ulta experience was very satisfactory this July 2026 despite having an expired coupon in my…read moreemail for $10. The staff was helpful in finding items for me in the store and providing me a shopping bag. I wasn't able to find ELF Suntouchable Invisi-Stick SPF 50 Glitz. A limited-edition sparkly sunscreen stick for your face and body that delivers broad spectrum SPF 50 sun protection and applies clear with an all-out glitzy finish. But I discovered all the sunscreen products of ELF are in another section away from ELF cosmetics in Ulta. I found unique items and splurged for the first time in an Ulta. My makeup style oscillates from intense and sultry to dreamy holographic, silvery, & shimmery to "bare, no makeup, clean, & natural " makeup look paired with nude or dark lips for every day events. For special events and moments, I like sultry intense eye makeup & dark lip - a gothy or vintage glam style for special events My ultimate purchase was Euphoria Half Magic cosmetic products. I got the eyeshadow pallette, shimmer glitter dust, eyeliner, & lipgloss "B*tch I'm Your Soulmate." Each product echoed in their design & cosmetics - the tv series Euphoria and their characters like Rue & Maddy with a hint of holographic shimmer & glimmer to wear in a subtle or intense fashion. Their description of their merchandise on their website reflects their dreamy & iridescent cosmetics, design style, aesthetics, and contents of products: "CREATE YOUR DEEPEST DREAM SELF. BE STRANGE, BE BEAUTIFUL, BE ABSOLUTELY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY YOU - BECAUSE "NORMAL" MEANS NOTHING." From the imagination of award-winning makeup artist Donni Davy (HBO's Euphoria), HALF MAGIC helps you to look and feel as unique as you truly are. Whether you want an eye-catching blast of color or a subtle pop of glitter, HALF MAGIC lets you wear your heart on your face and embody every version of you. Our vegan and cruelty-free products help you shape-shift with every day - using intensely saturated pigments in bold mattes and multidimensional shimmers. All you need is a mirror and your creativity. HALF MAGIC is for makeup extroverts and introverts, newbies and pros, young and old. It's for the boldest of the bold, as well as the understated minimalist. It's for the red carpet, the silver screen, or the grocery store. Whether you follow the rules or break them, you're the other half of this magic - we're thrilled that you're here. Next to Euphoria Half Magic products my favorite purchase was Fenty's new GLOSS BOMB STIX HIGH-SHINE GLOSS STICK in midnight ballerina shade - a gothy purplish dark brown almost black lip gloss reminiscent of Chanel's Vamp color in nail polish & lipstick from the 1990s. I really wanted to get this shade after seeing videos of it and purchasing Fenty GLOSS BOMB STIX in Sorta Selfish & Birthday Suit. I, also, got my first purchase of Rare Beauty , a dark brown lip oil & balm with a lot of intense color called Journey with a matching lipliner of Rare Beauty in a cool rich brown called "Kind Words". Other items I got were an espresso scented lip balm from Winky Luxe- my first product ever from Winky Luxe & very moisturizing lip balm with a subtle nude tint, blue & violet holographic eye shadow from Colorpop, and shimmery lilac holographic cream eyeshadow from Nyx. Ulta's birthday gift - many options to choose from yet I settled on Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Hope, a nude mauve. I was told it was intense & required minimal amount for intensity. Don't know if it will show well on tan skin and darker shades of skin though. My skin is olive, medium neutral, or tan - depending on the season and if I visit the beach during summer and do outdoor activities under the sun.

The Caliray so blown blurring face primer is described as: pore-minimizing + blurring tripeptide primer an oasis for your faces. this pore-minimizing, shine-eliminating, blurring primer hydrates and plumps skin with tripeptides, leaving skin with a silky, matte finish, perfect for makeup application.

I, also , selected my free birthday gift from Sephora: Glossier x Sephora Beauty Insider Mini Gift Set! Glossier's iconic Cloud Paint blush with three sample fragrances from the beloved Glossier You collection. Didn't try blush yet. The fragrances were subtle and had a clean scent. Set Includes: Cloud Paint Gel Cream Blush - Shade Puff (4 mL / 0.15 fl oz) A light pink cheek tint Glossier You Mini Fragrance Sample Glossier You is a soft, warm and familiar skin-scent enhancing fragrance. Sparkling Pink Pepper opens into earthy Iris, settling into a strong, slightly-sweet base of Ambrette and Ambrox that wears close to skin-so it smells a little different on everyone! Glossier You Doux Mini Fragrance Sample Glossier You Doux is a soft and serene woody fragrance that opens with Sweet Violet, followed by a precious blend of woody Palo Santo, Frankincense and smoky Myrrh--heightened by a warm, musky base driven by Ambrox. Glossier You Fleur Mini Fragrance Sample An airy and luminous floral blend that opens with a textured Mineral Salt Accord, followed by a heart of Osmanthus, Ylang Ylang, Apricot Skin and Cashmeran. Complete with a warm, musky base driven by Ambrox. I tried to buy a skin toner from The Ordinary but they were all sold out. The staff was nice. I was able to find products I liked instantly and wanted to buy.

The ONLY reason I am writing this positive review is because of DINA--she's a Sephora cashier on…read morethe weekends. Her face beat is VALUABLE! This lady has it all, and she is kind, helpful, and wayyyyy nicer than anyone else at the store! There were other Sephora employees and managers on the floor, but I was ignored, then told to hold for over 30 minutes before someone helped me. Meanwhile, new customers were being helped immediately. Was it a brown thing? I am going to check again and this time, I will be video taping the whole thing to ensure this Sephora is not racist. Let's talk about the bad employee--her name starts with an M--Marzan maybe? Mariam maybe? Either way, the M-lady was AWFUL. She is middle-eastern maybe, and I thought that she would understand my Indian brown skin and mature eye needs, but she slapped on a beige concealer and then took it off and put on another beige concealer....again, I am BROWN. I ended up NOT getting a concealer and told myself I need to go to ULTA or MAC. I even asked the M-lady if she had any samples she could give me since I was going to buy a primer and black Sephora eyeliner pencil anyways. SHE SAID NO!!! THEN, I met DINA, the cashier. She hyped up the Sephora brand eyeliner, and said to use it on my water line--that it's great for that. She hooked it up with a concealer sample too, and I WILL be looking into the Lady Gaga concealer now because of Dina! After my experience with her coworkers :(, Dina was a breath of fresh air. SO, I called Sephora just now, told them about how amazing Dina was (and how not great her coworkers were to me) and requested a makeup consultation and makeover with her, but was told no. Something about licensing. Therefore, I WILL be at Sephora on Saturday and give Dina my card in case she would like to do private consultations for my friends and I on an upcoming wedding in North Carolina in Oct 2026. I also throw private functions for Washington Post, and we might have ongoing work for Dina outside of Sephora. Sephora, you did a GREAT job hiring this woman. Dina, You are AMAZING--start your own business. Sephora, give this lady a raise and please put her on the floor instead of the cash register--what are yall doing putting that M-lady on the floor instead of Dina?! Anyways, that was my rant.

Wow, I didn't even know you could get such perfectly natural looking eyebrow tattoos. I absolutely…read morelove the bespoke brows and lash enhancement services that Angela did for me. I don't normally wear makeup, and prefer a natural look. I usually only filled in my brows to put myself together, and even that was a hassle by my standards. My eyebrows are sparse and do not grow in the full shape I would like. I found Angela's work on her instagram page and knew she was exactly what I hoped to find. She finds the unique shape that works best for each individual, and somehow works magic to make it look like you're not wearing any makeup or tattoo. I've had my tattooed brows and lash line for several weeks now, and they feel like ME. I haven't filled in my brows since. I look back at before pictures, and now they look so sparse to me, even with brow makeup. Not only is Angela an artist, but she is a joy to work with. I was unsure of the exact shape I wanted, and she patiently worked through several iterations that I wanted to try, tweaking and giving an expert perspective on what proportions would work. Choosing a makeup tattoo artist is a huge decision. This is the shape of your face!! I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to continue asking for tweaks with a different artist until it was absolutely perfect, but Angela was so kind and patient. You can tell she is passionate about her work and ensuring her clients receive the best possible service. Thank you so much for taking care of me, Angela!

The last time I was in a Sally's store was two years ago in Kentucky.

She was very helpful in talking about the products there and answering all my questions. I purchased Roux Clean Touch Haircolor Stain Remover bottle, the most popular and useful item I always get from Sally's. It lasts me about two years or more.

I thought of buying a primer and bonder for coloring my hair yet decided to look more into it before purchasing them immediately. I couldn't get sufficient input about those products from the sales associates there. I paid about $75 for all these products and was satisfied with my purchases.
