By now, we all know Sasa and Colormix like the back of our hands. But guess what? Hong Kong has a treasure trove of shops offering beauty products for cheap!
Hong Kong’s cosmetics scene is super competitive, and with no sales tax, it’s basically a no-brainer to splurge on those big-name brands. Seriously, you can’t walk five minutes without spotting a major makeup or skincare store. But here’s the kicker — besides the official brand shops, there are these low-key gems around town that not only stock all your favourite beauty must-haves but also sell them for way less. And if you’re obsessed with Korean skincare (same), you’ll be stoked to find those online faves right on the shelves. Keep on reading for the inside scoop on these stores and some Sassy tips to make your beauty shopping even better!
