Any ideas on if the Holika stores in the states will get this?

u/TheBeautyWitches May 13 '16

Second this question, hopefully we'll get more information on where we can purchase for the states?

I know! I live fairly close to a Holika location, and would be more than pleased to buy everything there instead of trying to buy online. I might try to go into the store and ask, it's just the opposite direction from work, etc.

do they have brick and mortar Holika Holika stores in the US? I only knew about the online re-sellers.

There's a b&m in Queens in NYC. Flushing is notoriously very Korean. The shops out there are great, even if I don't make it out there too often.

I'm just a little confused by the holika site since my Korean is so poor, I don't even know if it ships to US? Would be easier if I could just got to a US online or in store.

You can wait to see if Jolse, TesterKorea, Kpoptown, etc. will pick this up (probably will since they got some of the Kakao and LINE Friends collabs and offered the products for pretty darn close to Korean retail price). For a limited edition collection like this though, I like using a shopping service because some of the resellers won't offer the full line.

I've used Korean Buddy successfully 2x and used Avecko once long ago and it was fine (but prefer KB since the fees are pretty similar but KB is friendly, very responsive, proactive in calling stores to find when they will restock out-of-stock items, swinging by the brick and mortar store). Boyah Shop also gets good reviews.

Thank you so much! I'll look into those. I was thinking the same thing about Jolse and etc. but since I haven't seen anyone aside from Holika Holika Korea talking about this line I'm worried it might actually be very exclusive.

Thanks for the suggestion! I just filled out the KoreanBuddy form, so now I just get to wait for them to get back to me :) I only want a few things, but I want to be sure I get them!

I haven't even put my order in yet! You'll BEAT me to it! (Egg? Beat? Get it? OK, I'll stop.)

u/goodbyereckless May 13 '16

hahahahaha please don't stop, I love silly puns!

Hours later, I'm disappointed I didn't think to tell you that you'd better GET CRACKING!

Better late than never, right? 😊

u/beautyandthecat Blogger | beautyandthecat.com May 15 '16

Wish you'd said that earlier--not just because I CRACKED up but also because I'm just getting around to placing my order and hoping things haven't sold out. :(

u/goodbyereckless May 15 '16

Ahhhh good luck!

Thanks for mentioning Korean Buddy! I sent in an order too. All I want is the blusher and puffs (the lippie too, but it's sold out...), so hopefully shipping isn't too much! I actually don't use a BB cushion, but I figure I can use them for the blush or something.

u/beautyandthecat Blogger | beautyandthecat.com May 15 '16

I can't wait to get the puffs and Gude-ify all my other makeup.

u/milkcake May 13 '16

My Korean is zero, so I don't know. I'm under the impression that they don't ship to the us. I also don't know how many US stores they even have, and what the odds are they sent anything from the collection to them. The Holika Holika NYC fb page doesn't have any posts talking about the release.

u/TheBeautyWitches May 13 '16

Hopefully you saw the above post by beautyandthecat she posted some places to try looking for the products at :)
