Reason: on my exit after paying all my purchases, I showed my receipt and shopping bag to the security guard. Without providing any reason, he asked me to open my personal hand bag for him to search. I found that was discriminative as he didn't search other customers who exited previously. And, other security guard who also check customers receipt didn't search any customers personal bag. I felt insulted, humiliated and angry. Please don't shop there if you don't want to get insulted and humiliated.

Interesting place to find some beauty products from Asia. I can't say I really enjoy using the…read moreproducts just because there's a lot of things here with chemicals, synthetics, or unknown ingredients. But Asian skin care has always been trendy and shows success for a lot of people. For me, I really just come to see what new stuff they have and browse. Occasionally, I'll find a beauty tool or something fun for a casual girls night in. The staff here can never seem to answer my questions and when I've visited, they were always just chatting with each other fairly loudly or on their phones. I get that it's a casual place though so I don't really care too much. I guess I rather that than have them following me around trying to sell things. I don't see myself shopping here much, if at all, but it's definitely a great place to check out if you haven't already. Lots of Asian beauty trend goodies here.

Ms Yelena Popova of Nova Line Permanent Cosmetics is the ultimate professional in her field…read more Yelena is very thorough & detailed-oriented, when it came to my eyebrows.  Even the smallest difference in symmetry between my right & left eyebrow, Yelena noticed and changed evenly.  Her aim seems to be perfection.  I noticed that her equipment was plastic-lined, where needed, for hygienic purposes. I believe Yelena has done her artistic workmanship to the fullest & in turn, I will do my part, too  (i.e., the post-procedure steps that she has taught me).  Now I hope my skin heals fully to the shape.  If not so,  I am grateful that l can turn to Yelena for the touch up later, which will cost just a fraction of her 1st procedure's price.

Wowow, I just stepped into cheapo's paradise and survived! I've been to Japan a fair number of…read moretimes in recent years and I gotta say, you cannot resist Japan's ¥100 stores because their items are just so ingenious, practical, and affordable! From what I can see, Ichiban Living imports a lot of their products (Sería) and sell them here for $2. YES! Everything is just $2! Reasonable with the conversion rate and tax. Just my luck because I was starting a new shopping list for my next Japan trip, but now I can save the plane ticket and stock up here for the time being. Here, you will find high-quality items like stationary, diy craft scrapbooking supplies, kitchen supplies, baking supplies, dinnerware & utensils, household basics, cleaning supplies, organizational boxes, those small empty travel bottles, small bags and pouches, bicycle accessories, basic jewelry, basic electronics.. just everything useful and practical! Funny story: a friend of mine who recently became a new mother said that the only thing missing on her expensive baby stroller is a cup holder (for her beer lol). Well, look what I found... a cup holder attachment for your stroller! LOL. Seriously, whatever knick-knack you can't find at your local Dollarama, whether the size just ain't right or it's not the colour you want, it's worth taking a look here. Really, you will notice a Western-Asian comparison of practicality here, the difference show in the items. It is located in the basement/garage level of Pacific Mall. It looks small, but it's full of compact variety. As I was browsing deeper into the store, to my astoundment I found.. stairs.. which meant MORE! :O It led me to the (even) lower level where more items are stocked (so if you find something on the top level but is not in good shape, try the lower level). With those stairs, I unexpectedly spent a good hour there, which is so typical of me and dollar stores.. You can never get enough of bargain variety stores.

Once you enter the store, be sure to go to the corner and go downstairs, as there are many more knick-knacks for you to peruse. I wanted some thicker padding for my chairs and tables, so it didn't dig into my carpet as much, and I only found it here at a reasonable price! Look at those cute chairs and table socks! I also picked up some padding to stick in the bottom of my laptop to prevent overheating. I found some useful large S hooks that can fit my balcony railings and dividers to hang more plants. They have kitchen tools, bathroom gadgets, storage, pots, hangers, beauty tools, you name it, they have it. Always worthwhile to check out when you're at PMall. Note, I'm not sure if it's due to the fire, but the escalators at Pmall are not functioning, so you have to use the service elevators the past weekend to go up and down the mall.

They carry Cosrx, The Creme Shop, Etude House and the like. The prices were competitive too when I was comparing to the Korean grocery stores! They also have some non-beauty related products like plushies. Some of these looked like they were Disney Japan exclusives. I also saw an interesting posture helping plushies from Liveheart. When you're sitting at a desk, the plushie sits on your lap and prevents you from hunching over close to your screen. They even have structured arms that you can put your arms on top to prevent them from dangling. These were also Disney with Lotso and Baymax options! If you're a K-Pop fan, they carried BT21 care products like under-eye masks and lip balms. I also saw a lot of hair dyes that featured artists like Blackpink.

It's a small space and the shelves are packed high with a lot of product squeezed in!

I'd skip it if I see those again. They accept credit card - thank goodness!

Maybe it was just that they were restocking, but it took a while to flag down an associate and ask if they had what I was looking for. All-in-all, a decent place with a good array of goods, but I would say that the layout/organization of the place could be better - especially given that there was product laying all over the floor when I was there.

When I called to do so, they confirmed an appointment time that I never requested, which was odd because I would never have scheduled at that time. I rescheduled and called two weeks in advance to confirm my appointment. They confirmed it, but when I arrived, I was told that my appointment was actually the day before. When I asked for clarification, they questioned who had confirmed it, even though they do not send email confirmations. Overall, the scheduling and communication are extremely disorganized. Very disappointing experience

I know I had seen an Asian health and beauty store at First Markham place. Apparently Beauty Garden has been open at this location for 5 months. They also have another location at Pacific Mall. The store employee was very helpful in directing me to the eyeliner section, and was patient at explaining the difference between various brands of similar looking liquid eyeliner. I was able to find my product of choice which retails there for $20 (tax included). Expensive, I know, but worth it considering I use it everyday and it is one of the few eyeliners that applies smoothly but resists smudging despite my oily skin and wears all day. Beauty Garden sells a variety of products including false eyelashes, various eyebrow cosmetics, hair care and colouring products, feminine hygiene products, as well as Asian brands of incontinence products. The majority of their products are imported from Korea and Japan, including popular facial sheet masks and skin care masks. They currently have a special on those masks: 5 boxes for $100. Beauty Garden has a fairly limited selection. I have seen some similar stores at Pacific Mall that have more variety and that carry more premium products. As for me, I was just happy to find my eyeliner at First Markham Place to save me a trip to Pacific Mall where finding parking is often a much bigger hassle.
