What an END OF AN ERA…read more I can't believe this store location is closing but I suppose it makes sense since they have other locations and since there's so many other imported Japanese skincare and make up competitors out there too, though I always do my due diligence to shop around since prices can vary greatly and if there's sales. Most items are already out of stock since they've been scooped up by people but there's items here and there. There's a cashier at the front and not much interaction, but I prefer this over some of the older locations where they'd hover over you. Stock here is decent, but it's nowhere close to the RH location, but ever since going here as a high schooler (rare visits), I'd love to ascend and descend the stairs and look down and look at the decorations and random Ghibli and cute character goods they have up there.

Stopped by recently since this store is shutting down. The store is almost empty since they're…read moreclosing up shop later this month. Everything is 50% off (and possibly more). At the time of my visit, I was the only person who came. Seems like most of the popular products are gone now, so people arent as inclined to come in. Most of the popular Canmake products are gone, leaving you with some mascaras. &honey stock is wiped clean as well. I managed to snag a couple of refill bags for off&relax since I heard good things about the brand. Service is pretty nonexistent, which is fine by me since I prefer to be left alone. I'll still be at the Arcadia store though!

Randomly came here after having Korean BBQ next door. The gate was closed the whole time so we…read moreweren't sure if they were open or whatnot but they invited us in so we went to take a look. They said they lock it because sometimes they get too busy. And given the climate of theft at stores these days I don't blame them. Staff was very nice and courteous. They made lots of suggestions asking what we might be looking for. The shop is a hodge podge of Asian imports from snacks to toys and carries a lot of beauty products. It was really messy in there and not much rhyme and reason to what they stocked in terms of toys. I found quite a few items I've never seen before especially little Sanrio plushies (I bought 3). Picked up an anime figure from Attack on Titan too and my husband bought some snacks and mints. If I were already using the beauty products I might buy them here but most of the signs and descriptions are in Chinese so I don't know what the stuff is. Another odd thing is I didn't see many price tags on things so we had to keep asking the staff about how much each thing costs. Sometimes I think they were just making it up. Will probably stop by again when in the area to support them. For us it'll just be a little treasure hunting store.

I completely understand, they want to keep the store secure. The girl who helped us was super sweet and helped us right away. She spent a lot of time showing us new makeup and helping my daughter sample different colors. They have a great mix of beauty products, snacks, and cute collectibles, all at very reasonable prices. I had to stop myself from browsing too long because I would've bought way more than I planned. Happy to support a local business like this. I'd definitely go back.

A few weeks ago, my youngest daughter said she was out of the Pokeman Lip Cream. Well, she told me this after I came back from Las Vegas LOL. So, I had to seek out the lip cream elsewhere that is closer to home. Luckily, there is a Shibuyala in Temple City, CA. YAY! So here I am... what a fun + colorful place to find cosmetics and beauty stuff! The lady staff was super nice and lovely. I didn't waste any time. I asked and I shall receive. The lady knew exactly what I was looking for. She led me to the lip creams immediately. I bought 3 of them. They are $11 a pop... a bit pricey, but hey, our lips deserve tender loving care, too. My daughter was very pleased and so was I. We now don't have to wait until our next Las Vegas trip to get amazing & moisturizing lips LOL. Funny, I was informed this shop has been here for over 10 years LOL. I guess if you don't look, you won't find. I will be back from here on out now that I know they are in So Cal. Let's all beautify today!

I have heard about Aritaum a few times on some Korean makeup gurus that I followed on YouTube, but I never really went into one until recently. I've learned that Aritaum is like a smaller scale version of a Sephora, with Korean brands, of course. I know there are a few scattered around LA, but I decided on the Focus Center one, because reviews seemed to give this branch better ratings on Yelp. Walking in, I was a little discouraged that the Men's line was a small bookshelf behind the column, at the same time, they did have a decent amount of men's items from Laneige and IOPE. I did end up purchasing a Laneige homme set, because I was debating about ordering it off-line or getting in store and I'm glad I bought it in person, as the online purchase doesn't have the travel size items. The cashier was nice and let me know about the membership. I decided to sign up for one, simply because I can see myself transferring my skincare from road side stores to more higher end products. (They also said the membership works at ANY Atritaum and Amore store, nothing like the other Korean skincare brands in LA). They were also nice enough to throw in a sample of the IOPE men's line for me, just to see if I like one brand over another. Would probably come back here from time to time as my products slowly deplete and maybe I'll pick up a few sheet mask during those times. NOTE: They have a $20 minimum CC transaction.

Very nostalgic feeling of many of the Asian beauty and cosmetics stores that were more abundant in…read morethe 626 during my high school days. They have a pretty decent selection and brands of Asian, mostly Japanese beauty products here. No, it's not as new or organized like Shibuyala or Takashima, but it has its own charm to it, especially their decor and display of goods. They do have sales intermittently, making a good number of their items priced at a lower point than the aforementioned competitors I listed above. I've gotten the same Japanese brand eyeliners for $10 here when it's usually $8-10 more elsewhere. I've been to this store a couple times and they have a membership which offers a point system and deals (I believe), but my most recent visit has their weeklong Black Friday sale where it's BOGO 50% off. Not only do they have cosmetics but they have a lot of home goods (think imported Japanese Starbucks mugs and tumblers), snacks, and so many cute things. They have so much Duffy and Friends goods from Disney Asia, Universal Studios Japan goods, Sanrio and San-X goods that I haven't seen in our general shops here, Chiikawa, and they even have kuji raffle prize goods and blind boxes too. Staff is friendly and polite each time I've gone, but they for sure are vigilant watching people but they're not following you around. Great place to stop and shop or just to peruse the goods they have there.

The prices are a bit high, but it's an interesting store to browse and shop. They have some cute things, like Sanrio. If you can't find these Asian brand anywhere, then this is the place to get them! The people who work here speak Chinese. They almost follow you around if they think you're remotely interested.

Decided to stop by here because my aunt was looking for a particular product from Sulwhasoo. Being…read morecurious, I followed and found myself wanting to learn more about Korean brands. My friends always recommend Laneige, but never had the chance to actually go to an Amore store until yesterday. While my aunt shopped for her Sulwhasoo products (both makeup and skincare), I browsed through their multiple Laneige lines that include their basic skincare line, brightening/whitening, water line for hydration, radiance, and the likes. The hydration section caught my eye since I'm a sucker for hydrated, supple skin. The sales associated was very informative, and told me about each line, it's usage, and what each product's purpose is. She never pushed me to buy anything. Rather, she informed and insisted that I take a few samples if I'm still deciding. As I was still deciding, I turned around and saw their whitening line. Recently, I've been really obsessed with the color of my skin and been avoiding the sun as much as possible. I was told that Laneige's whitening line is new. It didn't help that they had cute packaging either. I ended up getting their whitening serum, which came with a mini travel size day serum, face cream, eye cream, and toner. As promised, the sales associate gave me samples of products I was eyeing earlier: one that melts blackheads and a mask. She gave me 7 samples! SEVEN! I definitely liked that they weren't stingy with samples. Also, make sure to sign up for their membership. Every dollar spent is a point added to your account. You get 100 points free on your first purchase. After accumulating 300 points, you get a $10 discount! Winning Y^___^Y

Gosh, way to capture a new customer's interest....It's not nice to just assume the world should know everything pertaining to the brand and then treat them like inferior crap when they don't. I think I could have easily walked away with a new skincare set + makeup if she was nice enough to explain to me what the products were and give me recommendations based on my skin type - but she didn't and was so rude about it, I didn't appreciate it at all.

I love that they carry such a wide selection at very reasonable prices, making it easy to stock up without breaking the bank. It's one of those stores where I always end up discovering something new to try. If you haven't checked it out yet, it's definitely worth a visit. They also have another Shibuyala location in Rowland Heights, but I personally prefer the Arcadia location inside the mall. It's well organized, easy to browse, and there's plenty of parking around the mall, which makes shopping even more convenient. Be warned--you'll probably walk out with more than you planned to buy!
