A few weeks ago, my youngest daughter said she was out of the Pokeman Lip Cream. Well, she told me this after I came back from Las Vegas LOL. So, I had to seek out the lip cream elsewhere that is closer to home. Luckily, there is a Shibuyala in Temple City, CA. YAY! So here I am... what a fun + colorful place to find cosmetics and beauty stuff! The lady staff was super nice and lovely. I didn't waste any time. I asked and I shall receive. The lady knew exactly what I was looking for. She led me to the lip creams immediately. I bought 3 of them. They are $11 a pop... a bit pricey, but hey, our lips deserve tender loving care, too. My daughter was very pleased and so was I. We now don't have to wait until our next Las Vegas trip to get amazing & moisturizing lips LOL. Funny, I was informed this shop has been here for over 10 years LOL. I guess if you don't look, you won't find. I will be back from here on out now that I know they are in So Cal. Let's all beautify today!

My friend recently went to this store and experienced a misleading promotion and the store is still…read morerefusing to honor its own printed advertisement. Their Black Friday flyer clearly said "Purchase $59 - Get Free Lucky Box." There were no conditions listed, no "after discount," no "single transaction," nothing. But after purchasing $59 worth of items (before their 20% sale), the staff suddenly invented new conditions on the spot -- none of which appear in the advertisement. When asked where these terms were printed, they couldn't point to anything and said "it was obvious." Under California's false advertising law (Bus. & Prof. Code §17500), you cannot enforce undisclosed conditions on a promotional offer. When my friend brought this up, the staff became defensive, refused to provide anything in writing, and insisted the manager "could only discuss it in person or over the phone," which is extremely suspicious behavior for what should be a simple, straightforward promotion. The entire interaction feels dishonest. Instead of correcting the issue, they stalled, evaded, and repeatedly refused written communication. This should tells you everything you need to know. If a store can't honor its own flyer as printed, that's a serious problem. Shoppers deserve transparency, not bait-and-switch tactics. I hope people avoid this location until they learn how to advertise honestly and treat customers with basic professionalism.

I've…read morebeen going to Dr Yu for YEARS and I am still just as obsessed as I was the first day that I walked in. Dr Yu is not just a Dr, he's an artist and takes so much pride in doing a job well done. It's nice knowing he won't let a single person leave without them feeling totally satisfied and beautiful. Everyone who works the front desk is so nice and kind too. They always greet you when you walk in, say bye when you leave and answer all of your questions. I love this place so much and writing this review is making me want to go back this second! I also just read in another review someone commenting on easy to locate, plenty of parking and a beautiful waiting area. I don't normally think of the logistical things, but I can second all of that! You can also grab tea or water while you wait : ) Thank you Dr Yu and Kat!

She double checked my products to the order slip in front of me to verify. I almost walked out with an extra 9 masks if we hadn't checked- would have been oh no for imomoko, but yay for my skin. The girl on the phone said the shipping charge would be credited back via payment method or can be used as store credit. I would like to confirm which is going to happen. I asked the other lady in person about getting shipping refunded. We'll see. She didn't quite know what to say to me as she wasn't fluent in English... So I'll be emailing. Otherwise an overall good experience. A few things were out of stock so until next time!

There were a couple times when I check out, the promo codes don't work properly or I can't check out, period. Their marketing material is also not accurate. Very recently, the poster had $79 for one of the products, but it was $89 in the check out. So I followed up with the customer support. They said there's an error. Without providing me with any more information, they changed the price of the item to $100. I asked them if they would honor the previous price, they said they cant and offered to cancel my order. I mean, if I want to ended up not buying anything, why would I waste my time to check out, and contact customer support for correction? As mentioned by many other reviews, their support is not helpful at all. You really need to be careful when shopping on this site, I would probably not realize the price was off if I checked out a bunch of the products.

I have a Takashima closer to me, but it's always exciting when a new Asian beauty/JP focused cosmetics etc shop opens up in the area. If you are a fan of the Japanese affordable, "drug store" brand Canmake, this is definitely the place to go if you're not close by to Tokyo Central. The stock for Canmake make up and skincare goods is definitely much more well stocked and diverse than what is in Rowland Heights. I got the "aegyo sal"/shiny tear liner that I've been trying to find for awhile and I also got some nice mascara as well. They also carry other brands such as the widely loved Ishizawa Lab Nadeshiko sheet masks, face wash, etc products and the cute Country & Stream lip care items. I honestly still think that Shibuyala has the wider breadth of variety also by virtue of being the bigger store, but if you can't find it there, Takashima is you're next best bet to hit up. Really wished this spot has a snack section like the RH location, but I understand the space limitations.

Decided to stop by here because my aunt was looking for a particular product from Sulwhasoo. Being…read morecurious, I followed and found myself wanting to learn more about Korean brands. My friends always recommend Laneige, but never had the chance to actually go to an Amore store until yesterday. While my aunt shopped for her Sulwhasoo products (both makeup and skincare), I browsed through their multiple Laneige lines that include their basic skincare line, brightening/whitening, water line for hydration, radiance, and the likes. The hydration section caught my eye since I'm a sucker for hydrated, supple skin. The sales associated was very informative, and told me about each line, it's usage, and what each product's purpose is. She never pushed me to buy anything. Rather, she informed and insisted that I take a few samples if I'm still deciding. As I was still deciding, I turned around and saw their whitening line. Recently, I've been really obsessed with the color of my skin and been avoiding the sun as much as possible. I was told that Laneige's whitening line is new. It didn't help that they had cute packaging either. I ended up getting their whitening serum, which came with a mini travel size day serum, face cream, eye cream, and toner. As promised, the sales associate gave me samples of products I was eyeing earlier: one that melts blackheads and a mask. She gave me 7 samples! SEVEN! I definitely liked that they weren't stingy with samples. Also, make sure to sign up for their membership. Every dollar spent is a point added to your account. You get 100 points free on your first purchase. After accumulating 300 points, you get a $10 discount! Winning Y^___^Y

I think I could have easily walked away with a new skincare set + makeup if she was nice enough to explain to me what the products were and give me recommendations based on my skin type - but she didn't and was so rude about it, I didn't appreciate it at all.
