Love shopping here. I am never disappointed with Japanese and Korean beauty products. My main go-to items are products that contain SPF and mascara. Prices could be high, but these items are all imported directly from these Asian countries.

Cute store with Asian beauty products in the front and some cute Knick knacks in the back. I mainly went in to find the viral Tirtir cushion. They didn't have the full shade range and some of the testers are really dried out so I didn't get to test some of the shades. Not a lot of makeup brands here that I usually buy from but they had some like D-Up and KissMe and some of popular products.

The image shows the entrance of Shibuya4, a retail store located inside a shopping mall. The store has a colorful, illuminated sign with the name 'SHIBUYA4' in large, multicolored letters. Inside, there is a pink display counter with a plush cat mascot on top, surrounded by various cosmetic and beauty products. The store is well-lit, with shelves and displays filled with items, and several shoppers browsing the merchandise. The mall corridor outside the store is visible, with a few people walking by and carrying shopping bags.

Amazing store! So many cute, interesting Japanese and Korean products. I've never been so thankful for my phone's translate feature using Google lens until now. :) I appreciated the availability of testers for the make-up items. My husband actually enjoyed looking at things with me. He was fully engaged in helping me with the testers, lol. I picked up a couple of items. The staff at the register was very friendly and gave a kind reminder that all sales are final. We plan to be back with our daughter who will absolutely love this place!

This shop allows dogs. - A man with glasses, wearing a black and white checkered shirt, stands indoors next to a large, pink, cartoon-style dog statue with a green patterned bandana. The man is smiling and making a peace sign with his right hand. The store has bright lighting, shelves with various products, and promotional posters visible in the background.

Fun fun fun. The Westfield Arcadia mall is always reinventing itself with new stuff, and Shibuyala is no exception. Allow yourself at least one hour in this store! You'll lose track of time and find everyone mad at you, steaming in the food court. The shop is largely Japanese and Korean hard-to-find cosmetics and skin care, anime stuff, kitchen, car and house stuff (like Daiso or Miniso but more expensive), snacks, and collectible toys including the irrepressible Hello Kitty. Gents, lots of great hair stuff (Gatsby is a favorite) and of course the high-end toners, creams and moisturizers are for all. They have some great body and shower stuff from Japan that puts my OId Spice wash to shame. The ladies working in cosmetics are super informative without upselling. I don't wear make-up but there is a ton of it. Even the bags ($.25) are super fun with mascot dog on them. Grab your Auntie Anne's pretzel and head over!

Finally that corner of the mall is inhabited by a business! I'm kinda sad that the cat café never panned out but I guess makes sense with health regulations and the fact that it was supposed to open but then we got side swept by COVID. Either way, this is a great place to shop! I find its location in the mall hilarious since wives, gfs, and partners are shopping away here and there's a cluster of dude partners hanging out outside or watching over the children over the cesspool of germs indoor playground right in front. Big aside from the review itself but I was massively side eyeing the father who loudly announced to his daughters that, "if he can't read it, then he won't buy it". Kinda racially insensitive in front of your kids and in a store filled with the ethnicities you're targeting my guy, but you do you. Anyways, YES. Definitely one of the stops to make at the mall, especially if you love beauty and skincare goods, imports from Japan, anime or cute character goods, snacks, or even unique household goods. There are other Shibuyala that I've been to, but this is by far the BIGGEST one. For sure there are way more snacks, household goods, cute plushies, anime, and character merchandise items, and stuff for pets here than at the other locations. As for things that I haven't seen before, it looks like they have a more high-end skincare/beauty consulting table towards the back and a section for Kuji prizes (buy a raffle ticket for a prize varying in rarity) and token gacha machines. Not going to lie, that's pretty neat and there has been a rise in these gacha shopping experiences in the normie/casual-sphere so they know what's up. I like the big selection that they have for home goods and cleaning supplies for sure and I do appreciate the affordability and availability of lots of the sunscreen and beauty products that I already use. I think the drinks in the back would be more appealing if they were refrigerated so I do hope that they get a fridge in the store for that as well. It is extra to get a bag upon checking out, but the designs are SUPER cute so I think it's worth it for sure. My favorite Shibuyala location to date.

AWWW YEAHHHH my favorite milk-digesting enzyme!!

I am feeling post-event withdrawals from traveling to Japan two weeks ago, and I've put off coming to any Shibuyala location in SoCal for many years. With the confluence of these two factors, this was a kickass first visit. Just go find the JC Penney, a mediocre landmark, within Santa Anita Mall. Immediately to the left from the inside entrance lies this new Shibuyala. Even with throngs of people hanging around, it didn't feel as claustrophobic as many merch stores I was dragged along to in Akihabara. I am pretty grateful for that. Also, the clientele is mostly femme, which, let's face it: after being followed around by a shamelessly masturbating pervert in a Donkihote in Ueno during my trip, is kind of necessary for feeling safe. Just for a little while longer. That shit was fucking heinous and did a number on my mental health and feeling of security. Here, the staff is actually present on the floor, which I highly approve of in contrast to the terrifying loneliness I endured. I was delighted to note that they still had plenty of seasonal Sakura themed products in stock! Other brands that caught my eye were Paul's Blend for the new Marigold scented stuff, plus Kitkats I haven't seen in any other Japanese import retailer. Note: for those unfortunate lactose-intolerants who have used and abused Lactaid and drugstore generic equivalents to the point that they don't work anymore, Shibuyala carries Biolactase/Biofermin! Try out a small box before committing to the 540 tablet bottles. It might lend you some freedoms again. Unfortunately the prices are noticeably higher than many products would be in Japan, probably due to the shipping expenses involved. It makes sense, but it's still about a dollar or three higher than other cosmetics stores for the exact same mascara or falsies, for example. Still, I'd go back to restock on my lactase tablets and poke around at the seasonal limited edition products any time!

Cute bag and store

Biggest Shibuyala I've ever been to. Such a fun store. I'm used to the small barely any room to move around store but this one is so nice and airy. They also have Japan's favorite Kose setting spray.

Pimple Spot Treatment - A hand with extended fingers holds a small tube of Japanese ointment, with the tube's label featuring Japanese characters. The background is dark and out of focus, emphasizing the hand and the tube. The tube appears to be a topical medication or treatment, with text indicating its purpose and weight of 18 grams.

Wow. I feel like i am in Japan when i walk inside, かっこいい! beautiful store with a large selection of items you can only find online! I was thrilled. They had a selection of korean skincare too. All the best sunscreens and products are here, for real. I want to take my family who live 50 minutes away! I got a pimple cream here based of recomendartion from the staff, thank you they were friendly and helpful. They have gatcha here too in the back and I was really impressed that they sell Japanese tooth brushes and toiletries that are hard to find in good quality here. So cool. Can't wait to come back. Edit: worked great. Impressive. I've used all of them And this might be my go to from now on.

See all

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.

First, the phone call to make the appointment was easy. They were polite and efficient both with booking the initial consult and with rescheduling when I needed. However, once I got to the actual appointment, I didn't enjoy their service. I arrived for my appointment at 2pm, and at the front desk was a security officer instead of a receptionist. He seemed confused by my presence and told me that everyone was out to lunch. I was confused and he told me to talk to one of the nurses, but she looked annoyed at me and told me to keep waiting in the lobby -- when I asked if they were on their lunch, she said no and to be patient. Finally, I was seen by the consultant. The consultant was very no-nonsense and didn't seem to have the patience to answer my questions. When I asked her about my concerns re: skin fat burning, she would brush them off by saying "Well, just use a different laser then". Okay, but...she didn't answer my questions or really explain the pros and cons of each laser? Ultimately, I will choose a different location. There are other places with similar pricing where you will feel valued and treated like a patient.

I considered returning them tomorrow, but given the bizarre situation, I went to the Monrovia store closer to home. Both Sabrina (cashier) and Stephanie the "manager" refused to refund me. I showed my receipt which was dated today within the hour. I live closer to Ulta Monrovia so I came to them. They were snide and refused to help.

They Confirmed my receipt info and put me on hold to call the Monrovia store. After Alexis' call, I was able to walk back into the Monrovia store and get my refund as was originally my right to do. As I walked in the "manager" Stephanie passed me. She made no apology for the misunderstanding or even acknowledged me--rude. 1. Always check your product before l leaving the store. 2. Don't go to the Monrovia location. As a side note, I also returned the lipstick/pencil combo. NEVER did Sabrina or the manager open it to see if it was intact or even in the box! Had I not said anything about the blush being empty, they probably would have not checked that box either. Horrible business practice and even worse customer service!
