This title is slightly misleading, I should replace it to Beauty Shopping at Ximending, Taipei because this was where I camped spent all my free time.
Taiwan is full of personal care stores and I am only going to address the leading ones. Judging from the perpetual flow of customers, these stores seem to have a leg up on the competition.
And please accept my apologies for not taking pictures of the stores or the displays because I was being an extremely good shopper/bad blogger.

lol! i normally spend a lot of time running around in Ximending shopping, those are the few places I would go each time I'm there. There's also this Japanese drugstore (yellow signboard) and Tailung which I would also go to, the Japanese drugstore you would see it around the subway station (cannot remember which ones already), Tailung/Tokyu Hands at Shinkong Mitsukoshi at Xinyi district shopping area. There's also Plaza Tokyo at Sogo Fuxing, and Breeze Plaza at Taipei Main Station. I think basically these are the places I go to for beauty shopping ahaha. I don't exchange my unused NT$ becuz I know I'll want to return there again and again! :P
ReplyDeletesadly i dont luve in taiwan but i enjoy looking through all the pictures of beauty products ;) this will be useful for me when i visit taiwan someday :)
ReplyDeleteLol i just bought the ange primer and the solone liners while in TW!! love mirada <3!
ReplyDeleteMy beauty guru!
ReplyDeleteI wish I am back in Taiwan right now, shopping at the places that you mentioned haha
Awww, you will enjoy the shopping in Taiwan! Of that, I have no doubt!
ReplyDeleteWhich primer did you get? Moisture Keep Base UV or Long Keep Base UV? I went to Mirada with Moisture Keep Base UV in mind but left with Long Keep Base UV. I wasn't keen on the shimmer particles in Moisture Keep Base UV...
ReplyDeleteSolone liners? The same one as mine or the other variations? And did you get yourself some Miss Hana liners?
omg..that's awesome! Would love to visit Taiwan too!
ReplyDeleteI love beauty shopping at Ximending. The beauty shops are packed in that area. There are Nature Republic and Skinfood store too, so it's like one stop beauty shopping :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely guide you put together :-) I've been to Taiwan.
ReplyDeleteHey Anatasia! You summed it up perfectly, 西門町 is indeed a one-stop shopping paradise!
ReplyDeleteI'm very interested with the items you got especially the Naruko and Majolica Majorca. They are being a hit in our country that eveyone talks about those brands.
