Shifeon has a new shop! No longer a dingy little shop wedged in a crack , but a very shiny new…read moreshop! It's still on Robson, between Jervis and Bute. 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!

This is what the new Shifeon on Robson looks like!

Most brands they have, you can hardly find in Canada. Like for instance, Tocca. I absolutely LOVE Tocca fragrances and usually get them from Sephora, however I found that its fairly difficult to purchase a particular scent because they are always low in stock. The sales lady here informed me that they always order merchandise before they run out, so they're always in stock. I was so happy. And they also carried Tocca's bath and body products, and their lotions!! I was SUPER happy because they don't carry those products in the Sephora store only online, and I've always wanted to try them out before purchasing. I've always walked past this store leaving work and what always caught my attention was their window displays - filled beautifully with their hard to find brands. I'm so glad I finally made the time to come in. They have lots of testers here so you can always try out a product before purchasing. The ladies here seemed fairly knowledgeable and they were friendly/welcoming. Their prices are great to the quality of the products they carried. I ended up purchasing hand lotion but I wanted to stay longer however I was in a hurry. I will definitely be coming back to check out more of their stuff, and I will for sure be coming here to purchase my beauty products from now on. Such a great place to shop gifts for your girlfriends, sisters, or anyone because I think they carry men's products as well.

He drew me a quick sketch, that I wish I had paid more attention to, or brought someone with me for the consultation. After he talked about my nose he said that I should consider a chin implant as well, to make my face look more preportioned. I was really taken back by that. Post op, I noticed a gouge, about a 1 cm indentation, at the very top of my nose, so I asked him about it, and he was very dismissive. He was talking with his medical student, like they had no idea what I was talking about. It took me about 5 years before I could put any type of weight over the bridge of my nose, so I had to buy new glasses. Fortunately, I found a pair with a very light Titanium frame. I would not recommend Dr. Younger. He has a very poor bedside manner, and his skill as a surgeon is questionable. Either that or he let a medical student work on me, without proper guidance, and maybe the medical student slipped. Either way, he did not examine my nose, he just sat behind his desk; and he wasn't honest about it.

I love The Ordinary brand products…read more They're affordable, effective, and long lasting. Id been been using the 2% hyaluronic acid and multi-peptide eye serum. Im 41 and always get compliments on how I do not look my age. I chalk it up to genetics but Im also sure having the right tools to ensure my skin stays hydrated helps. The first time I stumbled upon the Abnormal Beauty company was when they had a storefront on South Granville. And I didn't know why I went in. The lady asked me about my top concerns, which led her to recommend these two products for me. This was about a year and a half ago. And Ive replaced these products once already. Now that that location is closed, Im making the short trek to downtown. It's worth it. Overall if you're looking for something simple for your skin, try The Ordinary. Aside from face wash, the two products I get from them are the only things I use on my skin.

This is, hands down, the best perfume shopping experience I've ever had…read more I'm on vacation, and my favorite thing to buy as a souvenir is perfume. Every time I wear it I'm reminded of the wonderful time I had. Buying from Naz was just the best. She is so knowledgeable and the shopping experience was so personalized. She asks you to sit at her counter and asks you questions about what you like. She sprays scents on test strips and labels them so you can keep track of what you like. Between scents you cleanse your palette with coffee beans. We nailed down what I liked to two scents, I couldn't decide on which one I liked better so I bought both. The quality of these niche brands can't compare to more mainstream brands. If you're visiting Vancouver or a local, go treat yourself to meeting Naz and having your olfactory senses stimulated in the best way.

Nasrin, the owner is a super friendly, knowledgeable and well spoken lady with beautiful smile. She greets you and ask your taste in smell/Olfaction. If you are a person with special sense of smell then do visit here and pick up your niche fragrance. After various testers n preference suggestion, my man chose Nasamotto black afghan and mancera red tobacco only. It was because i gave him a budget to shop within $300 for perfume as he always end up buying $1000 worth of perfumes. So this store is very budget friendly. The perfumes are all natural fragrances or mostly they are chemical free. Many other names like amouge, royal crown,rasasi etc etc can be found hidden here. I wish , i had not spent money on those expensive brands like Tom ford , creed and Louis Vuitton. I m definitely recommending you guys to check this place whenever possible. Loved it.
