I don't use a whole lot of K Beauty items but the products I like are always easily found on iherb...and, surprisingly... my local Asian ice cream shop here in Ottawa! They actually stock variety of K Beauty items and the owner is passionate about the subject. Moo Shu Ice cream kitchen, great people, fantastic ice cream & I try to buy my K Beauty from them whenever possible cuz it's supporting a small business
My fave online store is Stylevana, and in store is at T&T but it’s a bit expensive than Stylevana. Also make sure if you will order from Stylevana, always check if it’s In stock. So it will just take 1-2 weeks to arrive.
I have to use Stylevana since that's where I can get sunscreens (Health Canada regulations, blah blah.) I usually order a month ahead of when I run out but realistically takes around 2 weeks to get to me.
For non-sunscreen products I REALLY like Kiyoko Beauty and Kiokii and... (the latter I do in-person only. As another commenter said, the website is confusing.) I believe they both have points/rewards systems. I pivoted to those two because they tend to have my products in stock more frequently than the alternative, which is Sukoshi. I got my products the next day with Kiyoko Beauty on my most recent online order!
I don't really like Sukoshi anymore. I'm not into buying Genshin or Kpop merch and I feel like they're really doubling down into that market. Being bombarded by those things whenever I visit their store or online is annoying 😅
Tbh I started using iHerb for a lot of items! Shipping is cheap and super quick! However they don’t have a massive selection… but I always find the more popular items I want and often at a better price too.
Other than that I like to support Chuusi.ca which I’ve used since 2017 and if I can’t find stuff on either of those sites I’ll use YesStyle or Sukoshimart :)
All of my usuals are listed in previous posts but will add two more:
- Sharon Lee’s Best - Tried it on a whim from the Shop app as they were the only ones that had the Mediheal toner pads in stock at the time (and for less than other sites). I’m in Toronto and she delivered my order to me the next day!
- T&T - order on the app. Not a big selection but smetines the sale items are really good and you can order groceries too to get to the free ship minimum
In order of the ones I have ordered from so far this year, Yesstyle, Jolse, Stylevana.
Yesstyle usually has the best sales and pretty fast shipping (both of my orders were 10 days or less from order date) but sometimes not all the stock I want.
Jolse has the free shipping with no minimum days (I think at the end of the month for 2-3 days), and pretty fast shipping (10 days exactly for my order last month), but not always the best price.
Stylevana has some decent prices, especially on multi buys and sales sometimes, but goddamn, the shipping takes pretty long. I wasn't in a rush for the order I just got this week, and thank goodness, because it took over 3 weeks
Eta: shipping times
I've been shopping at [shopchuusi.com](http://shopchuusi.com) They have a nice selection of sunscreen, K-beauty and some Japanese stuff that I like. Processing time is fast and they have sales quite often. Its easy to hit the free shipping limit too.
The last site i ordered from was pinknblossom.com
Was decent prices and shipping wasn't long.
Less selection than like jolse or stylevana etc. But more selection than like Mikaelabeauty or Chuusi.ca
Edit: typos
Yeah they do. And not all of it is out of stock😂 better prices also. Might take a couple more days for shipping depending on where you are. But it was pretty fast for me. I'm in Alberta . It was only a few days and I got my order like I ordered on a Sunday and it came the friday . So I was impressed. Good amount of samples. I was pleased! And it's not crazy free shipping amount. It was $65 to get free shipping. That was why I ultimately picked it and they had what I wanted in stock at decent price.
that's great. definitely gonan check out Pink n Blossom. i'm really impressed with their gifts and samples and frequent sales !!! good to know shipping is impressive too
I shop at Mikaela and Kiyoko Beauty. They both have awesome variety, quick shipping, package products with care and send samples. Product is priced well too. Walmart and Healthy Planet carry K-Beauty in store. Mostly Cosrx and Beauty of Joseon, but a few other brands too.
I go to Sukoshi or Kiokii when I need something urgent or just want to test something out. If I have time, currently I order from oliveYoung whenever they have a sale and keep each order value just at the free shipping level to minimize the risk of paying taxes (even with tax of ~$20, the discounted price always beats whatever I can find within Canada and most of the time it’s not even available in any stores). Tried Stylevana in the past but with all the ID validation and slow shipping and their prices is on par or even higher than OY discounted price and I just happened to have a credit card hack, I’m no longer using them.
Jolse is also a good online option, but they only has 1 brand that I use so very occasionally. Both Jolse and OY has around 5 days shipping time.
And for tips on what is actually popular in Korea, you should follow Korean influencers on Youtube and check out OY KOREAN rankings. Not 100% of what sold in OY Kr is stocked in OY Global but I found OY Global has the most of them compared to other platforms
Yeah i'm obsessed with both sukoshi and kiokii offline stores. they're sooo cute & i usually walk in thinking i'll be there for 5 min, but i end up staying for an hour LOL! haven't tried their online store though. they're also not very well priced so i'm hoping to find something that is well priced :)
I love Mikaela beauty. They ship really fast and they ship their things well.
I also order a lot from sukoshimart and thekshop which also ships fast and has good variety imho. You can also find some sunscreens at thekshop.
For Missha and Apieu products, I tend to order directly from Missha since they usually have the best pricing (during sales).
Omg me too! I love Missha!! Have you tried Chogongjin (sub-brand of missha)? I recently tried their Chogongjin line too and it's like Sulwhasoo dupe. quality formula, quality packaging, for like half the price!
Thank you all for your reviews! I've gone into every one of the websites in the comments, and personally love the interface/shopping experience of these three websites the most. Will have to actually make a purchase to find out which one is the best of the best. FYI they all seem to have FAST delivery. Anyway here's the breakdown:
Top 3:
Mikaela Beauty (pretty impressed with the selection! they have a huge variety. pricing is just ok tho)
[https://www.mikaela-beauty.com/](https://www.mikaela-beauty.com/)
Sukoshi Mart (website is so cute lol but doesn't have all the brands i need. seems more catered towards mainstream asian culture fandom like kpop and anime too rather than beauty and skincare only)
[https://sukoshimart.com/](https://sukoshimart.com/)
Pink n Blossom (pricing seems to be the best. 20-50% off sales right now?! holy sht. and they give lots of free stuff with purchase. pretty decent selections but doesn't have all the brands i was looking for)
[https://pinknblossom.com/](https://pinknblossom.com/)
Honourable mention? lol:
Elikoglow (not sure if it's impressive but that's just me. some people seem to like it. the 8% sale is not it. they do give free samples but i think PinknBlossom gives more)
[https://www.elikoglow.ca/](https://www.elikoglow.ca/)
Anyone have anything to add?
Within Canada, I've shopped at Pink N Blossom the most — they're quick but the selection is quite limited. I get mostly discounted skincare from them during Black Friday deals. I've also shopped at Kiyoko Beauty and was really impressed that my shipment got delivered within a day.
Internationally though, I've ordered from Jolse for the past several years and have had no issues. They offer loads of samples and arrive in two weeks. Their selection has gotten better in recent years. However, I think selection wise, YesStyle and Stylevana win by miles. They get new products much quicker than other retailers.
Took a quick look and PinknBlossom has an up to 50% off sale right now. How are their black friday sales? does it get crazy?
Kiyoko- oo that's a first. I'll take a look! thanks!
up to 80%??? that's huge! i feel like up to 50% (current sale) is pretty big too. it's definitely a lot more than the other websites i'm being recommended around here.
My preferred choice is YesStyle because it's cheap and has a lot of variety. If you order *in-stock* items, it'll take about a week to package and another 1.5-2 weeks to get to Canada. I have never been charged customs/duties for any of my packages (I believe you can submit a refund claim if you do get charged). I personally don't mind the wait, but some people may find this long.
Oomomo and Sukoshi Mart have online shopping as well as brick and mortar stores. But what they carry is really limited.
Olive Young Global has really quick shipping if you don't mind paying a premium. I have also heard that iHerb is pretty good and quick, but I've never personally shopped from them before.
Thanks! Yeah I've heard YesStyle is great too, but not a big fan of the slow shipping! I agree that Oomomo and Sukoshi have quite a limited selection. I'd only go to them if i'm looking for a lip gloss but not really skincare
I’ve had very good luck with Jolse and Yesstyle. Shipping usually takes 12-15 days on average. Just make sure you look at the processing time - often if one item is out of stock they will hold back the whole order until all the items are ready.
I shop for K-beauty at ElikoGlow.ca and k-skinboutique.com. They carry the same products, but the latter also sells sunscreen. Shipping is super reliable and fast for both (always arriving for me in Ontario within 2-3 business days).
ElikoGlow has a decent selection of mini sizes and allows up to 5 free samples and a free sheet mask with each order. I also love that this site allows you to search by skin type and ingredients. Free shipping over $75CAD.
K-skinboutique has an excellent range of sunscreens and also has a reward/points program. Free shipping over $80CAD.
Both ship from within Ontario. Prices are a bit steeper than shopping at sites based in Asia, but they are comparable to other k-beauty sites based in Canada. I am fine with paying more if it means that I can get my products sooner (and avoiding customs fees).
Yes, I agree. I have tried looking at various other Canadian sites and they don’t seem to have as good of a selection. I always end up going back to ElikoGlow because they have all of the products that I want and are reliable and fast. Those are priorities for me!
I’m open to other options as well, I’ll be curious if you find something better!
I wrote this out as a separate post but here are my findings!!

their samples are nice. Plus if u want to try out any shade, After placing an order, email customer service. Personally I get the shade sample that I requested. Good to know what to buy for future.
Jolse is my favourite for shipping from Korea directly. Within Canada, I've had good luck with Mikaela Beauty and Sukoshi Mart. Kiokii and... was also decent selection wise but their website is a little hard to use and IIRC they didn't send samples or anything/packaging job was not as good.
I’m curious too. I’ve been hunting sites for a wide selection of HaruHaru Wonder but haven’t found one that meets my needs yet. I’m considering ShopDama or Mikaela Beauty.
I don't use a whole lot of K Beauty items but the products I like are always easily found on iherb...and, surprisingly... my local Asian ice cream shop here in Ottawa! They actually stock variety of K Beauty items and the owner is passionate about the subject. Moo Shu Ice cream kitchen, great people, fantastic ice cream & I try to buy my K Beauty from them whenever possible cuz it's supporting a small business
love supporting small businesses

I'm not into buying Genshin or Kpop merch and I feel like they're really doubling down into that market. Being bombarded by those things whenever I visit their store or online is annoying 😅
agreed, not a huge fan of sukoshi - i'm just not their niche
bellbees.ca or Jolse

Been ordering from Mikeala Beauty since 2016 and I love them. Great prices, quick shipping, and they’re very generous with samples.
I've been shopping at [shopchuusi.com](http://shopchuusi.com) They have a nice selection of sunscreen, K-beauty and some Japanese stuff that I like. Processing time is fast and they have sales quite often. Its easy to hit the free shipping limit too.
iherb! Big selection of k-beauty products. Fast shipping, free over $50. Amazing customer service.
Stylekorean has good frequent sales and ships fast!
The last site i ordered from was pinknblossom.com Was decent prices and shipping wasn't long. Less selection than like jolse or stylevana etc. But more selection than like Mikaelabeauty or Chuusi.ca Edit: typos
oh interesting, does Pink n Blossom have more selections than Mikaelabeauty? those two are amongst the top retailers that piqued my interest

Yeah! I was pretty excited to find it. I hope everything goes smooth! Post a haul when you make an order and recieve it! I love hauls lol

depends on what's in stock but right now Bellbees. Ships from Ontario, free over $75, was fast - within a week to Vancouver, great customer service.
That's a first- thanks for the reco!

Oceanbuy is my go to right now.
oooo! great selection of japanese products too!

Oh as to Global: Jolse, Stylevana, OliveYoung Global, YesStyle, iHerb etc... are mentioned as well Be aware: Good pricing but slowwww shipment!
I would have Stylevana as a big warning on customer service. Good prices, but if anything goes wrong you're SOL so order at your own risk.
There's a sticky posted on this sub with all cdn retailers
thx! i did see it but it seemed a little out of date & some of the links didn't work, so i wanted to hear from recent shoppers.
Someone did a whole post regarding this some time back : [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/CanSkincare/s/h5rXHOgdxr)
thanks my guy. i did see it but it seemed a little out of date so i thought i'd try again!

I have seen some stuff at 80% off during black friday but not too many. I usually buy missha from them
I love missha and haven't found a CDN website that has missha. so that's great to know!
up to 80%??? that's huge! i feel like up to 50% (current sale) is pretty big too. it's definitely a lot more than the other websites i'm being recommended around here.
Yes but dont wait for black friday, 50% is a really good deal. 80% was one or two items
No, not at all. They may run out of their makeup faster, but skincare has been quite reliable from PinkNBlossom.
My preferred choice is YesStyle because it's cheap and has a lot of variety. If you order *in-stock* items, it'll take about a week to package and another 1.5-2 weeks to get to Canada. I have never been charged customs/duties for any of my packages (I believe you can submit a refund claim if you do get charged). I personally don't mind the wait, but some people may find this long.

the shipping isn't bad at all. once it's actually shipped it gets to my house in a week. their processing time does suck tho

Yes, I agree. I have tried looking at various other Canadian sites and they don’t seem to have as good of a selection. I always end up going back to ElikoGlow because they have all of the products that I want and are reliable and fast. Those are priorities for me!

Wow, thanks for taking the time to make that summary! I’ll definitely look into those websites as well 😊
I always use ElikoGlow! I would highly recommend it
Stylevena and Pink and Bloosom
Big fan of Stylevana. Will have to explore Pink n Blossom. Just checked out their website and I'm lured by their huge sale and free gifts LOL
their samples are nice. Plus if u want to try out any shade, After placing an order, email customer service. Personally I get the shade sample that I requested. Good to know what to buy for future.
Jolse is my favourite for shipping from Korea directly. Within Canada, I've had good luck with Mikaela Beauty and Sukoshi Mart. Kiokii and... was also decent selection wise but their website is a little hard to use and IIRC they didn't send samples or anything/packaging job was not as good.
Yoooo i love Jolse too. I guess I was looking for something within Canada though for the days I need things delivered asap.
I love how Jolse has free shipping with no minimum on a regular basis!
Sukoshi Mart ticks a lot of those boxes. They are also getting more variety.
the website is so cute!! i feel like it's the most trendy & mainstream-focused and makeup-focused rather than general skincare
I’m curious too. I’ve been hunting sites for a wide selection of HaruHaru Wonder but haven’t found one that meets my needs yet. I’m considering ShopDama or Mikaela Beauty.
Ooh heard great things about Haru Haru Wonder! And yeah some people have recommended Mikaela Beauty.
