The Face Shop ♡

Hi girls, today I'm going to talk about an all natural Korean beauty and skincare company. My city recently opened a whole bunch of their stores in most of the malls (which really surprised me because I'm living in Western Canada right now and they rarely sell Asian products in common shopping centres). I was window shopping the other day and the storefront caught my eye and I just had to take a look inside. I'd heard about this brand a while ago but had never really looked into it until the stores opened where I live. 

~ This post is going to be a little lengthy, just a forewarning! ~

The Face Shop opened up in 2003 and has been growing steadily more popular and well known. Their main sales and product point is that all their products are natural and combat imbalances in your skin with the balances in nature using pure ingredients in their products.

As with just about any brand, The Face Shop uses many well known faces from media in Korea to advertise their products. I just had to use an example of Kim Hyun Joon because he's one of my main biases (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

I also wanted to share their storefront with you because it's so fresh and clean, just like their products! It is easy to tell it is a Korean brand because their style is always very sleek and airy. Wouldn't you want to go in and look around too?

If their mission statement and dedication to only using natural products wasn't enough, their prices are incredible! They are insanely cheap for the most part. There are so many products that are not only extremely affordable, they are also amazing quality. Next I'm going to share some of the products I picked up. I had to limit myself because I'm saving for uni so I can't spend a lot right now!

And these are the products I picked up! (Minus the box of cotton pads oops)

The cashier was so lovely and gave me a ton of samples too! I'm steadily trying them out so I can do mini-reviews of them later on ~(‾⌣‾~)

These cotton pads were only $3 CAD! I love Asian rectangular cotton pads rather than Western round ones because they tend to hold products better and not tear as easily.

This lotion was $9 CAD and smells DIVINE! It has got to be my favourite scent ever and I didn't even realise it until now.

This is a liquid eyeliner and cost $10 CAD. It has a super fine tip and is extremely pigmented; I'll talk more about it in the review.

 

 This foundation was only $5 CAD! 

The Rice Moisture Emulsion was $5 CAD ~ there is so much product! Ugh its so great but I'll save it for the review.

This make-up base was also $5 CAD, and you can purchase it online here.


The Face Shop varies with which products it stocks depending on the store and the country you are in. You cannot purchase directly from the store online, but you can find some of their products on Asian Beauty sites such as Sasa. I will be doing more research on where to purchase their products for the review post!


Overall, I am loving The Face Shop and all the products it has to offer. It is organic, affordable and adorable! A win-win situation I would say. It sells a wide range of cosmetics, skincare, face masks, essentials and tools for make-up, travelling and making your own face masks at home. I am so happy to have this shop close to me (until I move back to that States in a month :<). Stay tuned for a review on the products I bought, and stay cute girlies!
