There're Q tips and disposable cotton rounds for you to swatch their products on your hands/face/lips. I like to come here and restock on my stash of tinted lip balms, blushes, and eyeshadow palettes from time to time. Very fast customer service from patient, friendly and helpful staff.

I walked into a space that covers a lot of ground, from snacks and drinks to beauty products, home goods, and collectibles, and the density of what is on display makes it easy to spend more time browsing than I planned. The snack selection is the strongest draw and covers an impressive range. I saw Asian versions of familiar American snacks sitting alongside Japanese and Korean originals, and the drink section downstairs is broad enough that finding something I have not tried before is a near certainty. The variety of drinks, many with anime or character branding, reflects a buying approach that goes beyond the standard convenience store selection. The beauty and skincare section upstairs is well stocked with Korean and Japanese brands that are not widely available at American drugstores. I browsed through everything from face wash to sheet masks and specialty treatments, and the prices are competitive for imported products of this type. Blind boxes occupy their own significant section, and the selection across different series is one of the better in the city, with reasonable pricing relative to what the same items cost at specialty toy stores. Home goods, toys, collectibles, and kawaii accessories fill the remaining floor space. For a one stop shop for Korean and Japanese lifestyle goods, snacks, and beauty products in Koreatown, TESO Life delivers a broad and browsable experience that rewards repeat visits.

That said, the experience felt more self-serve, as the sales associate wasn't particularly welcoming or attentive during my visit. If you already know what you're looking for, it's a great little spot to pop into. Just don't expect much in the way of personalized help--but the product selection makes it worth checking out.

Right after they charged me, the order was canceled with the excuse that I had requested the cancellation, which is absolutely false. I never canceled anything. Since then, my money has been in dispute because: The company does not respond to emails. They only send automated messages saying someone will get in touch with me, but no one ever does. Meanwhile, MELIO claims that they already sent the money to the seller and is now asking me to either pay again or provide my card number so they can try to charge me again. Absolutely not! This is robbery. I should not have to lose my money like this. And who is going to compensate me for the damage? This situation is unacceptable. I have already reported this case to: My credit card company The Better Business Bureau The appropriate authorities here in California These two companies are working together to scam people. They are shameless thieves. Be careful!

I feel like the time to eliminate the modern drugstore as a concept. They can't keep anything in stock. Everything is locked up and the customer service is so poor I honestly wonder if I can trust them to handle my medication. We need pharmacies only. I am tired of dealing with poorly paid under qualified workers and poorly maintained retail locations. read more
