Online shops that sell Japanese & Korean cosmetics

{ U P D A T E S }

January 5th, 2015 - Added some stores
October 12th, 2014 - Edited some information
July 3rd, 2014 - Added a few ebay sellers
July 4th, 2014 - Separated Korean cosmetic/skincare ebay stores from other online retailers

Here's a list of Asian cosmetic & skincare (primarily Japanese and Korean) sellers that I've compiled over time. I have not ordered from most of these places, but other people (bloggers, youtubers, forum posters, etc.) have used them before, so they can vouch for the legitimacy of these websites.

☆ T H I N G S   T O   N O T E 

Some sellers mark-up the prices of their products to accommodate for free shipping.
+ Prices vary from store to store, some are much more inflated than others (even with the free shipping).
+ Most sellers will include samples with your order :D.
+ Free shipping means economy mail, which does not come with tracking. Tracking & EMS are generally extra ($2.50 for tracking, some stores offer it for free if you buy more than a certain amount). Sasa will always include tracking with your order.
+ The places that have just 'free shipping' listed, ship for free worldwide.
+ I've only listed shipping to US & Canada for some places because that's the deal they have, other international destinations are charged based on weight/location.
+ Sellers (not ebay sellers) will ship based on weight/location if you do not make the requirement for free shipping.
+ Make sure you purchase items through an e-bay seller's store on ebay.com (not .ca, or whatever), if you want to purchase multiple items from them. Only the American ebay website has the cart option. Use the 'add to cart' button, rather than committing with the 'buy it now' button on a product listing. You can edit your cart as much as you want before paying, but you cannot cancel if you commit.
