Since I came back fr Seoul, I fell in love with Korean high-end brands skin care products. High end: Amorepacific, Hera, Sulwhasoo Mid: Hanyul, IOPE, Langeige But, I personally like LG brand skin care more.. The staff was attentive and helpful. Tips: Shop and buy when they have big promotion! They offer good gift with purchase.

I was so excited to check this place out after an article praising Aritaum to be this "K-beauty…read moreversion of Sephora", where it is an open-shelf concept, with easily accessible testers, helpful customer service and generous sampling. After I walked inside it was nothing like they had promised. Alright, there are holes where the samples are supposed to sit, but it is either empty or the sample is extremely beat up. When I asked someone if there is another tester somewhere, perhaps they could open one up (WHICH IS WHAT SEPHORA DOES, BY THE WAY), she shrugged like she could't care less and said "no". There is also no tissue or any other disposable applicator for you to comfortable test anything, even though the containers for them exist. When I asked for tissue they said they don't have any, and gave me the tiniest cut up makeup sponge instead. I wandered around in the store for a good 15-20 min, and no one approached me. Yes, I was dressed up. Yes, I looked like I was ready to buy something. Sometimes at Asian places if you look like a bum they don't bother approaching you. It shouldn't be like this but it is the ugly truth. But even then, if you flag someone down and ask for help, they would be willing to help you, albeit reluctantly. I asked someone for help, even though she was with another client, I was willing to wait for my turn. Instead of saying things like "sorry I'll just be a moment", she simply told me they're really busy at this time maybe come back later. Basically none of the workers look like they wanna be there. I gave this place a 2 star because it is bringing K-beauty products to a centralized place and I will probably succumb and buy something in the future for lack of alternate outlets. But I would probably do my research online and just pay for the item and leave.

If I could give a negative star, I would. B&BW told me several times my order would arrive on time,…read moredidn't arrive, called back, said next day. I'd ordered for delivery in ample time before I was leaving the country on vacation. After being reassured countless times that the parcel would arrive on time, I did not receive it. When I returned 7 days later, tracking showed it had been delivered however it had not. B&BW said my items were out of stock and they would give me a refund. I wanted my items, not a refund. I will never shop with that company again!

There are a huge variety of scents and products, from foaming anti bacterial hand soap (both waterless and rinse able) to wonderful silky smooth body lotions.

When you return it to store, they will give you 10$ off of 30$ purchase !!AND you can use this in conjunction with the other sales and promos.

This is where I come for new collection nail polish. They have every possible shade of OPI available! The collections are so quick to update that I can always find the newest collections of OPI there (in stores) before anywhere else. They carry new collections in all the other brands too. Pretty much if you can't find the nail polish/product you want at your local drug store, you can almost definitely find it here! Buy more, and the price comes down per bottle. It starts off at just under $10. With each extra bottle you buy, the price comes down by a $1 per bottle! It's a pretty sweet deal for a nail polish addict - me!!! The staff... I never want to talk to them because they can be so pushy. Although I have no problem saying no, they are relentless! The trick is to tell them you already know what you want. I still browse the shop sometimes out of curiosity. The rest of the stuff are pretty pricey, so I don't buy anything from them, except nail polish!

I never knew there was a Shifeon on Robson until they moved to this bigger location. I agree that…read morethe sales in the store do follow you around but when I told them upfront "I'm just browsing" they were pretty chill with it and backed off. After looking around and I wanted some assistance, I turned around trying to catch someone, I got eye contact right away which was nice (she was standing pretty far too). I don't like pushy sales bc it turns me off and I leave the store but knowing that someone acknowledges my presence w/o feeling pressured to purchase is a gold star. I was looking for something to lighten up my break out marks and the sales, Mandy, recommended me this serum from Green Envee (1st time) and Guinot (2nd time). Both worked like a charm and I how they have lots of different products and brands! Plus a bonus Sanrio corner (my favourite)!! Whether if I make a small purchase, big purchase or even no purchase at all, they gave me lots of free samples to try out! I literally got a routine set sample for both my mom and I w/o dropping a penny down one time! What more can I ask for? Another reason why I return to this store is their buy $50 get $10 coupon (for the following quarter mths). Its a way to do business keeping ur customers but if the prices are the same for some of the brands you can find elsewhere ie. The Bay, Sephora, Murale, etc. why not get it here when u can get a $10 coupon for future purchase, gift with purchase (depending on which brands) and lots of free samples? The Bay offers 10% cosmetics and fragrances from time to time only and gift with purchases (certain times for each brands), Sephora offers points... no gift with purchase and sometimes 10-15% off Sephora days and no samples or rarely... Murale offers optimum points - that's it!
