I was also excited to see a great selection of CLIO products, including their popular eyeliners and mascaras that have been trending in Korea. The store carries a nice variety of makeup, skincare, and hand creams, making it easy to find both everyday essentials and cute gifts. The store is bright, clean, and well organized, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I ended up leaving with more than I planned because there were so many interesting products to discover. Definitely worth a visit if you love Asian beauty products and cute collectibles!

I didn't even know that they had a make-up counter at Macy's VF until I did my Christmas shopping at the mall. And boy... are we lucky! VF is 1 out of the 3 Macy's in Nor*Cal that carries Inglot so far (the other two is Stoneridge and Union Square). They are located right next to Bobbi Brown, Chanel, and Dior and you really can't miss the INGLOT sign! Inglot is produced and manufactured in Europe. They've been established 25 years ago by a man named Woktek Inglot who was a chemist working in a pharmaceutical company. On their website it says, " His principal objective was to produce high quality products at fair and reasonable prices, using only the best possible ingredients and raw materials from the most reputable suppliers." Which is so true! I felt like all the products I played with were of superb quality. The first time I walked by, I was intriqued with the selection of MATTE eye shadow colors! SO PRETTTTY! It reminded me of a mixture of MAC (because of the freedom customizable eye shadow and blush/bronzer palettes), ILLAMASQUE + MAKE UP FOREVER (because of the bold, beautiful, and bright colors) and URBAN DECAY (for all reasons listed above). There were two girls working the counter and several customers so I did a quick walk by. When I went a few days ago, there were two customers looking at the freedom palettes and eye shadow colors, and a lady that helped them from Clinique (I know this because she wore a white lab coat) but she disappeared by 8:55pm while the mall closes at 9:00pm. I still have no idea where she went but my friend and I were just swatching the gel liner pot and lip paint. Which means... no one was there to help us. I didn't mind until we had to find the items in the drawers ourselves. It didn't help that the black liner I bought was missing the number so it was hard to find until my friend Lonnie re-organized the whole thing for them. At 9:00pm, the Dior girl came over to help us but didn't know where anything was so we practically pulled the items out ourselves. It was a disadvantage not having an Inglot Sales Associate to tell us about all the products but I somewhat loved the independence. The NAIL POLISHES (contains no toulene, formaldehyde, dip, or camphor) are displayed perfectly, the brushes/eye liners/shadow pigments/foundation are in another section together, and the eyeshadow/palettes, bronzers, and blushes are in the freedom section. The lipstick, lipliner, and lip paints are behind the nail polishes. I ended up buying the gel liner because I've heard good reviews about it and I even swatched it myself. I also accidentally spilled their entire make up remover bottle out too... because I am a klutz and there was no makeup remover sheets in sight. :/ But my point is that even if I spilled make up remover over my entire hand, I still wasn't able to wash off the liner completely... so I'm excited for it's staying power and no smudging! :D I also bought the lip paint in #58, it's a perfect plum color for the winter and the only shade that truly represented me! I love it. It's highly pigmented, glossy, but very light-weight, and non-sticky (which I absolutely loved!!!) I only bought my main 2 make-up necessities (liner and lipstick!) but I feel like I'll be coming back to buy powder or blush soon or both! They all felt amazing because it was a SMOOTH, BUTTERY, SOFT-VELVETY TEXTURE when swatched against my hand. Very nice against the skin! I just wish I had help matching the shade to my skin.. but I don't mind because I'll be coming back again! And the best part, INGLOT is cheap! The liner was $12 and the lip paint was also $12! Compared to some other high end makeup brand, you can only get one item for $24 bucks. Overall, I'm highly impressed with the quality of INGLOT! I would say it's the BEST BANG for your buck if you're into bold and beautiful colors and high quality make-up! I'm really excited to try the foundation and blush next time! :)

I'm glad I did, the place was so peaceful, calm and relaxed. I was able to browse and pick the products I wanted with ease. Of course I was greeted kindly by two employees, a woman from kohls and the amazing worker named Rosie from Sephora. She was so friendly and I asked her for recommendation for skincare out of the things I could choose as a birthday gift. This woman was so kind and thoughtful, she wished me a happy belated birthday and made sure I had options in picking the best gift and even gave me great advice on other products. The best part was the interaction was so easy and not forced, I felt so great leaving this location afterwards that I usually wait a couple of hours to leave a review but I needed to write this now as I feel like I would forget some pretty amazing details like the fact that I had forgotten I had saved my rewards (money off purchase) so getting a nice amount of $ off my purchase was even more satisfying with all the extra like the birthday gift and the rewards. Thank you Rosie, you are awesome.

Before Covid I had bought a 10 facial package and had 3 years to use them. After only 2 months…read moreCovid happened and everything closed. When they opened I scheduled my next facial and was asked to pay $15/- more per facial as they had upgraded their machines and somehow I had to compensate them for those. I asked them not to use the machines on me and that we are in a binding contract and I would not like to pay hundreds of dollars more (I lost my job during covid and could not as well). I was told that would I rather see the spa closed down the spa totally in which case I would loose all the left over money. No amount of logic worked with the lady. Finally we agreed upon scheduling that facial, paying extra 15 for that facial and if I wanted she will reimburse the rest. After the facial, I asked her to reimburse the rest, to which she added that now that you are not in contract all the past and current facials will be the price + $30/- more. I ended up paying almost as much as the 10 package facial for less than half of the number of facials. It was wrong to break the existing contract and force the past customers to pay hundreds of dollars extra. I will neither recommend, nor go there again.

It was a nice Saturday afternoon, my husband and I had a stroll down Stanford Shopping center and…read morestopped by Neiman Marcus to browse. It seemed like Bobbi Brown was having some sort of event, where they had the makeup table laid out with people getting makeup demonstrations. I was casually passing by the scene until one of the lady from Bobbi Brown stopped me and ask me if I wanted a makeup trial. Why not, I thought, and sat on the chair. She put various products on my face and threw a lot of compliments on how beautiful everything looked on my face. When the demonstration was done, the lady wrote down all the products she used on my face. It was a helpful information, maybe I can use it for future reference, I thought. But my casual thought immediately turned into guilt and confusion when she asked in a forceful tone of voice, "So which of these products do you want?" Huh? I am supposed to buy them today? Although I could have walked away saying no thank you, she created an awkward situation where it would almost be impossible to do so. She stared right into my eyes with the piece of paper in her hand, and she stood in front of me while I am sitting on the chair, which made it hard for me to get up. A bit intimidated and confused, I agreed to purchase a few of the items, including an eyeliner brush, which I needed anyways. The lady took me to the counter and said, "someone else will help you out" and then left to fetch another customer. I stood there for five minutes, waiting for somebody to help me but nobody approached me. Finally, somebody checked me out but did not give me a receipt, so I had to go back to get the receipt. I came home and discovered that the eyeliner brush was different from what I have requested. I went back a week later to exchange. I am okay with the mistake of putting the wrong product into my shopping bag and forgetting to give me the receipt, but I am deeply unpleasant with how the makeup lady created the atmosphere of forceful purchase.

I was in the Bay Area to help my family for a week, and thought of having some time for pampering myself GEL MANICURE: To be honest, I was little shy to show my hands because the skin were super rough (CA weather is too dry for me + house works...). But Denise took care so well. She knew how to clean properly and my poor fingers revived! Then she applied my favorite coral pink colored OPI nail polish, and put cute little strawberry flower stickers as accents. Now it makes me smile every time I see these pink nails! HEAD SPA + MASSAGE ADD ON: I changed into a robe, and lay down on the spa bed. She gave me a nice back massage with pure essential oil & warm stones... Omg I felt so good and almost fell asleep! The head spa wasn't just a massage, but deep clean the scalp with some different kind of equipments (not sure what they were because my eyes were closed). After whole session, I felt so light and refreshed! She used a special magnifying lense to show how much my scalp got cleaned. It was obvious! Having a head spa made me little nervous because it was my very first time, but I'm so glad that I tried! Oh and she made a nice pot of herbal tea (antioxidant!).
