I first learned about Nature Collection at their vendor's booth at Asian American Expo. I purchased…read moresome sheet masks, got lots of freebies, and learned about their Grand Opening event this weekend.
Nature Collection is located in Pacific Plaza. I've been here before when parking is absolutely packed, but on a Friday morning, we had plenty!
The gentleman working there admitted that they weren't quite ready yet, but kindly allowed us to take a look around their store.
Nature Collection sells skincare goods from brands such as Dear Packer, Beyond, Su:m37°, The History of Whoo, THE FACE SHOP, CNP Laboratory, O HUI, etc. They also had a small section of make up and cosmetic supplies from 3CE, VDL, and Missha (I also saw a Pony Effect palette, but this was not shelved yet). There's a good range of affordable brands to very high end ones, so there's something for everyone. And as with any skincare or make up store I go into, I always go in knowing what I need for my skin and have an idea of reasonable price range.
I really like the fact that they have Dear Packer and Beyond goods here, since I only know of one other store that sells these brands. The closest THE FACE SHOP has closed too, so this can also save some time traveling all the way to Westfield Santa Anita for theirs.
I purchased THE FACE SHOP Papaya Peel, cleansing lotion, and skin mask brush, and Dr. Jart masks. For freebies, I got wet tissues, History of Whoo Soo Soo Yeon sample kit, and a slew of skin care samples. For their Grand Opening Promotion, I was able to get a very nice canvas tote bag and spun a wheel to win a Beyond Waterful Shower Gel.
I'm giving 5 stars because despite being in the early stages of opening, the service was very polite, courteous, friendly, and inviting. I have gone to far too many Asian beauty stores only to feel unwelcome from being closely followed around and stared at (I look a slob in real life, I'll be honest). However, I felt none of that at this location.
I will definitely come back in the future and hopefully they will have more items I can look forward to!
