The Face Shop

I was looking for a Korean based cosmetic and skin care shop and heard about the face shop. I would say this has been the best retail shopping experience I’ve had in a long time.
The place is small, and didn’t cary as much stock as their website advertised. There is however, a lot to choose from. Whether you’re young and looking to start a new beauty routine, this stuff has a variety of scrubs, face masks, peels, and more for a good price, or if you’r older and want the serious stuff in anti aging skin care, the price is a little higher.
As it is a korean based shop a lot of the products are writen in a foreign language, however there are English descriptions so you know what you’re buying.
The shop assistant was friendly, spoke very good English,
and was available and helpful without her breathing down your neck like some retail assistance. She didn’t force me to buy stuff, and explained what would suit my skin, not pushing me to buy the expensive stuff, and generally honest.
I bought some of the facial sheet masks for $ 2 each which I really enjoy. I bought facial scrubs $ 7 each, and pore control serum $ 25. I am very happy with my products.
I also bought some make up which I can’t say is anything spectacular compared to western make up you would find at price line. Their make up section was a small isle in the centre of the shop. It had bb creams, primers, foundation, cushion concealers. Most of these products come with sp+30 as Koreans take their sun protection
seriously. They also had pretty nail polish, eye make up and lip gloss.
After purchasing my products the lady behind the till gave me a free facial scrub worth $ 7, about four face masks, worth $ 2 and $ 4, and some samples of toners and soaps. that is great service. I’ve heard from others that they generally give you extra goodies for free, but I was still surprised she put all those free things in my bag.
When my supply runs out I will certainly go back.
