I just came back from living in hkg for a while and I ran into the same problem! Revlon Colorstay was amazing because it was medium-high coverage and haha I just loved it. I can't give you a product that had such long staying power from asian beauty products because I personally think that foreign brands were better at that. When I was in Asia, to get the colorstay I actually bought it in Japan during vacation bc it was cheaper there.

When I moved to hong kong I actually felt like wearing such thick foundation wasn't that great with my skin, because it was humid and my skin would melt/couldn't breathe. Tell your wife, I personally think Asian beauty products are cheaper and higher quality than some of the drugstore brands in America. Also I found that a lot of the makeup from Asian brands have higher SPF in them.

-Holika Holika: I really love their Holika Holika Aqua Petit jelly BB Cream, it feels light and has really good coverage! -Lanieige: Check for higher quality asian makeup, it is expensive though. Their BB Cushion is a top seller.

Definitely tell your wife to go to Watsons/Sasa/Colormix/Bonjour like muishiboosh mentioned, and to look into Korean beauty products! They are slowly coming to America because of how great they are :). Have fun in HK, I want to move back there permanently!

Yup like what everyone says I only put it on the white looking pimples (don't want to describe them anymore haha). For the angry red looking pimples I'll put a dot of some acne cream to calm it down. I really like cosrx, but the 3M nexcare ones work well too!

Thank you! Yes I did here about how nice people are in Cleveland, will message you once I move over!

Great thanks so much!

I'll be living in the eastern neighborhood of the city near Little Italy!

I like to walk along the Charles and see the scenery, go to bakeries and restaurants such as Tatte and Barcelona South End. I also like checking out random festivals and museums (so thank you for the museum suggestion down below). Also I'm starting to be interested in working out some more!

thank you for this post and the responses! I've been finding HK prices too high compared to in Korea so online shopping is definitely better. Thank you for the recommendations!

There's also this new cosmetic retailer in TST at The Capital on the second floor that seems pretty new and the prices are reasonable if anyone wants to check them out. They said you can just message them on FB or visit them to tell them what products you want from Korea and they'll help get it for you! JYS. Korea Cosmetic Co. (facebook page).

Even though there's a bagillion reviews on the Missha Time Revolution let me know how it works for you! :) Also jw, do you remember how much you got it for in Korea?

Don't just buy every little thing from huge department stores like Wing On, or Pricerite/JHC. Sometimes the little home stores on the streets are half as cheap and great to use. You can speak chinese so it's really helpful :) Like a heater, humidifier, drying rack are probably half cheaper.

For stuff of more quality I would go to more well known places.

Oh! My cousin suggested Jawbone UP2, just that there were constant pop-up problems of a server problem.

MUCH THANKS <3

I'm looking for Clio, Heimish, Missha, and Tony Moly.

Do you know if it would be cheaper to find online?

Thank you!

I actually just went into Sasa and didn't see anything. Hmm maybe it varies per store? I guess I will still keep on trying. Thank you!

Ooh could you tell me like who? I follow "Neat Freaks Diary" "Elizabeth Yeung" & "Daphne C" so far but I feel like are there any more?
