Are you FUCKING kidding me???? These reviews are ABOLUTELY ridiculous. Do NOT let them dissuade you from coming. New World Mall is AMAZING. A slice of Asian heaven in New York.
Ekin H, you are a bigoted asshole. Mainland China is more country/xiang xia than Taiwan? Do you REALIZE that most of the worlds wealthiest people come from mainland China? That they are the number ONE consumer of luxury goods in the WORLD? Do you realize how fucking HUGE mainland China is and that it includes Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen which are some of the most populated and wealthiest cities in the WORLD? You are the kind of idiot that makes yelp reviews unreliable.
And Jimmy C., who the eff cares what the stores are named? IDGAF IF THERE ARE WEIRD NONSENSICAL NAMES?? What matters is what they sell, so go ahead and rip your hair out because nobody else cares.
Now, that rant aside, I LOVED New World Mall. This is def a place for the girls, especially one into fashion and beauty. There is 3d nail art here!! ASJDL:KADA I have been searching for years and years on the East Coast for real, awesome Japanese 3D nail art and they have a little shop in this mall that does exactly that!! I'm so excited to go try. I will review afterwards.
The clothing sold on the second floor are obviously all Asian made and cheap. But hello, most of the clothes you buy in the US are made in China and cheap anyway (don't let that brand name tag fool you). (Ekin H, you are again an idiot for wanting "higher end" stores like "a|x and gap"...because do you know where that overpriced, completely unoriginal piece of crap is from?? clue: starts with ch and ends with ina). Here for the same (not superior) quality and lower price, you get a completely unique selection. These are really cute Korean/Japanese/Asian styles that you really can't buy anywhere else for much less than that generic stuff you can get in Soho (plus you can haggle!!).
My favorite parts though, are the accessories and BEAUTY SUPPLIES!!! Beautiful sparkly trinkets and bling cases for CRAZY CHEAP!! And the most elusive Japanese/Korean/Asian beauty products for ALSO SO CHEAP!!
Do you love Dollywink? K Palette? Missha? Koji?? For all you beauty junkies out there, this mall has THE least expensive Japanese/Korean beauty products I've seen in real life (excluding online). Sasa sells a set of Dollywink lashes for $13.50 (dont forget to add shipping). In most/all other stores, they go for $20. HERE, I BOUGHT A SET FOR $15!!!!!!
I'm POSITIVE if you buy more and pay in cash you can haggle the price even lower. Shiseido tsubaki shampoo? $15. Koji lashes? SIX DOLLARS. PA NAIL POLISH. BB CREAM. THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
CLEARLY the other idiot reviewers here who said it the mall was filled with cheap looking beauty supplies have no idea what theyre talking about. FYI, all the Japanese/Korean brands i listed are super awesome, high end, and usually, very expensive.
So definitely go. Get a set of UV gel Japanese 3D nail art for ~35-$65$. Get a new iphone bling case for $10. Get yourself a set of beautiful dollywink lashes for $15. And then buy a pair of sparkly rhinestone embellished heels nobody else will have for $30.
Okay, i'm officially in heaven.
5 stars just to bump the overall rating up because you assholes are so ridiculously biased. read more
