To make matters worst, it's always super packed with locals and tourist all clamoring to buy make up and skin care products. So don't think that you'll visit another location because all Sasa are crammed with people haha. If you're a traveler, they accept all sorts of credit cards! I paid with my AmEx with no problems.

One of the workers there also mumbled something to us and then put her name tag on something we picked out to purchase (assuming it was for commission) for no help.

The worst shopping experience I've ever had. The sales…read moreassociate -- I think her name was Judy or Jedd -- was incredibly pushy and made the entire visit uncomfortable. She followed me around the store, constantly pressuring me to make a purchase and even tried to rush me to the checkout. She repeatedly misled me about a VIP promotion, claiming I'd get a coupon I could use right away. When I asked if it applied to the lipsticks I was interested in, she said yes -- but conveniently failed to mention it was only valid on a $150 minimum purchase and limited to certain brands. After I spent time carefully picking out items, the cashier informed me the coupon couldn't even be used on most of them. It felt like the whole thing was just a tactic to boost her commission before the end of her shift. I honestly don't understand how a major store would hire someone like that -- dishonest, aggressive, and clearly not focused on customer experience.

So what puts the 'Supreme' in this Sasa outpost? According to their website, it's a concept store providing a comprehensive cosmetics selection in addition to beauty and styling services. What I noticed: an open layout, tons of space to roam without bumping elbows with anyone, so many more products than the regular Sasa stores, and better product availability within certain cosmetic lines. I didn't end up going home with any cosmetics (I tend to prefer department store lines), but I did find my beloved Nuxe line and at a very competitive price offering. I took home a large shower gel and a shampoo for about $225 HKD - not bad for this French line that smells sensual yet fresh (in a 'warm' kind of way) at the same time. I also have the perfume (purchased in Paris) and so many strangers stop me to inquire about my fragrance. It's a good one! I'll definitely be back when it's time to get my hands on more Nuxe goodies.

The staff here at Lush is just amazing!!…read more I came with my sister that never been or tried Lush's products ever. The nice staff gave us a little presentation and rundown of their product lines. She even did a demo for us with one of those bath bomb with rainbow colours. So many cute bath bombs and the nice staff helped us to narrow down a couple that fitted our preferences. What a great shopping experience!

Sasa is worth going to if you want cheaper products, from skincare, make up and perfume.

I found fewer Japanese skincare products at this location - a few years ago, Japanese skin care products were actually less expensive in HKG than in Japan. It was an ok location, nothing more.

Located at Admiralty MTR, Fresh Line has been such a convenient place for me when it's come to…read moregifts. Girl's gifts though. Even though they have some unisex scents for soaps and bath gels, it just seems like a better present for girls. I do love their products but must acknowledge that they're pricey. If it wasn't because it's downstairs from my office and it's usually rather empty, I would have gone somewhere else and get a better deal. But, you know, time is precious too, and Fresh Line does the job. I have never bought anything for myself there but my friends have been really pleased with the quality of the products. They claim to be organic and list what they use and what they don't and that's a plus for any health conscious girl (and some of my friends really are!). They have some set gifts but I've always gone for a selection of products that I liked and they've put them in a cute box with a nice presentation. The staff has always been super helpful and very patient (about me smelling and trying everything they have). My favorite products are the body milks and the soap. These last ones remind me of Lush's ones but their smells are a lot less strong. It's a little annoying that they list their prices per gram and not per item, so I have to keep asking them to calculate how much I've got in my basket before I buy. Besides that, great gift place!

Bonjour is one of the main cosmetics chains in Hong Kong. Sasa is the other one. This location is…read morelocated on Bute Street in Mong Kok next to the footbridge that connects Grand Century Place/Mong Kok East Station with Mong Kok Station. The store actually has three different entrances since it takes up multiple storefronts. While Bonjour is known for their cosmetics and fragrances offerings, it has commonality with the two drugstore chains, Mannings and Watsons. While cosmetics are the main offering, Bonjour has a nice selection of drugstore products. Particularly Chinese medicines and healing oils. And the prices seem to be the same or better at Bonjour than at the two drugstore chains based on a product comparison I did on a few items. The store also has a nice food and snacks selection including some that are imported. There is even an area here in the right side back of the store that is full of Japanese snacks and groceries. The only issue with this store is that the aisles are small and the checkout location seems to be oddly placed near the middle of the store. If you are looking for a drugstore item, you should check out Bonjour to see if they have it. You might save a few bucks here rather than going to one of the drugstore chains.
