Hi, @RayRay87! There are many great online shops for K-Beauty, and Sephora does carry several reliable brands. Aside from Sephora, some of my favorite shops are Glow Recipe, Soko Glam, and Oh Lolly. Additionally, I would suggest watching some videos from the YTer Gothamista, who I find provides some reliable recommendations for products, as well as demonstrations and routine ideas.

Peach and Lily and Soko Glam both have a ton of different brands and options!!! 🙂

I really love SokoGlam besides getting products from Sephora. Charlotte Cho is so sweet and amazing! They have a blog called the klog that talks about skincare and I learned a lot from it. Charlotte also curates some k-beauty products for Sephora. 🙂

If you know what you want and have some time to wait for shipping, then I highly recommend Jolse. They don't have every brand that I like (Belif and eNature, for example), but they've got most of the major ones plus a lot I haven't heard of. They include tons of samples and free gifts as you spend more, they run a lot of sales (so many it's kind of confusing), and their prices are usually the cheapest around. If you spend $150 you get free faster shipping to the U.S. (regular shipping takes 3-4 weeks to me). The only downside is that they don't have customer reviews, so you have to do your research somewhere else.

I buy everything online from ibuybeauti, it takes a while for stuff to arrive but if you spend over 50$ there is free shipping, and I find the prices are some of the cheapest I've found online!

I always order from Wishtrend. They don't carry every Korean skincare brand, but I love the ones that they do! They also have really great customer service and their shipping is usually fast (about 2 weeks to come to Canada from Korea).

I wish I saw this earlier!! For me, I get my stuff from Forever21 (weird I know), TesterKorea and StyleKorean. Forever21 has a lot of face masks!! I think lady time I was there I got 30. Testerkorea and StyleKorean have a lot of brands and they do have fast shipping if you are willing to pay. Another site is KollectionK that I believe is new. I suggest shopping around and finding the store that has all the products you want so you can get if from one place.

my favorite sites are Jolse - love love this site. sales can be good, and I have had great customer service

Amazon! i just research to make sure i'm getting a legit product, but so much K beauty and Japanese skincare on amazon and ebay

and my third is beautibi

i do use sokoglam, glowrecipe, ect for when they have a sale or brands I can't find anywhere else, but the prices I think are over marked. i have found similar stuff on amazon for cheaper.

Sometimes I like to use Gmarket.

I completely agree! They both provide great education to everyone. I order what I cannot locate at Sephora first.

I've used memebox and soko glam, they always send me coupons in my email too. And I've been able to find a lot on amazon! Ive used urban outfitters and yesstyle back when I had a harder time finding korean items but nowadays you can find them in a lot of places. I got an email even cvs will be carrying korean skin care products.

RachelSham — Sat, 02 Sep 2017 05:55:06 GMT

My advice would be to shop by product, and not by website or retailer. In other words, if you come across a product you're interested in it, look up the ingredients (cosdna is a favorite for ingredient-by-ingredient analysis for irritation and comedogenicity), reviews and you can always hit up the Asian Beauty subreddits. From then, I like to google the product or search Amazon or retailers in Korea like Jolse, Beautynetkorea, Testerkorea, Stylekorean and so on for the best prices/shipping deals. In my personal experience you can get more bang for your back that way than heading to US based retailers.

Sephora has some Korean brands on here like Amore Pacific, Laneige, Dr. Jart, etc.

I usually get my K-beauty stuff from twofacemall, memebox, sokoglam, koreadepart, and yes style.

I've ordered from Vuty Design and Peach & Lily. Vuty Design carries a ton of brands. Peach & Lily has less but I feel like they carry brands that other K Beauty sites don't.

SokoGlam is very reputable and also has great blogs, so you can learn about kbeauty at the same time!

I'm really picky about skincare quality so I'll usually only order K Beauty from places like Soko Glam, Memebox, and Peach & Lily. I need skincare curated because one wrong product can cause long term problems. I wouldn't risk playing it by ear with untested Asian products. But that's just my opinion. You can also get a lot of things off Amazon but do your research! I really love beauty vlogger TheBeautyBreakdown for k beauty tips. 🙂
