The Amore Union Cosmetic

I’ve been wanting to try out Laneige products ever since Target started carrying the line but it was always sold out! I was most excited to try The Laneige BB Cushion but every Target I went to did not have anymore in stock. So I came here and they carry all the Laneige products that Target has, and more!
The store is really clean and minimalistic, which is good because you’re not bombarded with so many options to choose from. They carry about 3 – 4 Korean brands, most from the parent company AmorePacific. I found the BB cushion here in my shade, Sand Beige, and also got their Multiberry Yogurt Peeling Gel, which Target does not carry.
If you’re looking for a place that sells Korean skin care brands, definitely check this place out!
The only negative I can say about the store and why I didn’t give it a 5 star is because the customer sales rep was constantly behind me and looking over my shoulder. He made me feel so uncomfortable that I couldn’t even take my time to browse around!

Highly recommend this cosmetic store.
Plus: Korean cosmetic products do have an expire date.
And the store sending their customers coupons is a good strategy of their marketing and help u to save money when u make your next purchase. If you don’t wanna get coupon just don’t give out your number at the first place.

Saw some really negative reviews, so to be fair I want to add my positive experience here.
Was friendly approached and asked whether I needed help. If you’re accustomed to buying asian cosmetics at these kinds of beauty stores, they tend to be very close and conversational. It can be a little off putting, but I think this lady was only trying to help. When I declined an offer she didn’t push any further.
I was looking around pretty aimlessly, and finally settled on Dollywink brow mascara and a Laneige cleanser. Prices are mid-​range. There’s also a spa here. You get free samples!
I’d come by again just because there are a lot of trending asian beauty products available here and that the lady was pretty nice.

DO NOT! Do not! GO HERE! If I can give a negative star I would. The sales lady (the older one with a straight bob) is beyond rude. She yelled at me over the phone before she realized I had changed my appointment. And didn’t even apologize. When I actually showed up for the appointment she claimed that she was going to do my make up instead of the make up artist I talked to on the phone. Then she started to talk about how I don’t keep my original appointment (not true). She continuously prepped my face although I said numerous times that I wanted my make up done by the artist I had the appt with. Seeing how she wore her make up and how incredibly rude she was, I didn’t want her touching my face. She completely ignored me started to prep my face on until I physically got up from my chair and demanded to see the make up artist. The only reason I got my make up done here is because finally my make up artist showed up (20min after) and I was already late for my party and didn’t have time to go back home and do it myself. Oh and did I mention at one point she said «this is not even a bridal make up. It’s not that big of a deal». I don’t know how this place is staying in business. While I was there i saw her being rude to othwr customers as well. It was actually funny at one point that she can be rude and condescending to multiple people at the same time. I’m sure there are other make up places in flushing. This place is not worth the frustration. Amore should ashamed that someone like this is representing them in a highly populated area.

First time I came here I was blown away. They have every Amore product I asked for so naturally I walked out with $ 200 of skincare products. The sales rep was great, he pinpointed my skincare needs and recommended great products (but I knew what I was getting already). When I was done I had some fantastic skincare products, an amazing abundance of samples, a pretty tote bag and a points card.
The second time around, they called me on my birthday to wish me a happy birthday, sent me a birthday card and told me to come in and get a $ 10 gift certificate. The lady on the phone was so nice! I went today and got my gift certificate, bought the water sleeping pack I had like 10 samples of last time and a bottle of essence I almost ran out of, walked out with a ton of samples again. The sales rep was really nice and while I was paying he kept putting more things into my bag haha. I’m pretty sure I walked out with half the store in pre-​packaged sample booklets.
Be warned. I got the gift certificate with some samples wrapped but I didn’t know it was in the package so it wasn’t til after I left the store I realized that I coulda saved $ 10 from my purchases! –_​– But thats okay. I plan on going back eventually anyway (their products last forever though so… hopefully I won’t lose the gift certificate)
I do think there’s a difference in vibe between this store and most other stores around the area. When I walk into this store, much like all the other customers I have seen so far, everyone comes in with the sole purpose of buying their product. We know exactly what we want and how many so they cut straight to the point. In the other stores they badger you to buy stuff to make a sale. I understand they have a sales goal they must meet in order to make the store’s monthly goal but they don’t push their products in your face and say here buy this and this and this and this and this. They don’t give you the judgemental leery eye of looking you up and down and thinking, «Psh you aren’t gonna buy anything… how can I help you» I love that about them!
The only practical reason for me going all the way here instead of buying it online is authenticity. Here, you know there are no mark-​ups, negotiating prices and fake products. You get exactly what you are paying for as if you are in Korea. Don’t trust online products girls, its worth the trip to flushing (plus theres great korean food and shopping in flushing)

The customer service here is terrible and incredibly rude. The sales lady lied to me several times just to make a sale and pretended not to understand what I was saying after my purchase was complete. (She told me I would get items in a package deal that I didn’t get.) She even pretended not to have items in stock that I wanted to purchase (the strawberry peeling gel, she magically «found» them later when I said I wanted to buy a lot of items). I cannot stress how horrible the service was. Unfortunately, this is the only physical store I know of in New York that sells the full line of Laneige. Even though it’s slightly more expensive, I’m going to buy online from now on.
Update: There is a store that sells Laneige two blocks down in the new mall. They seem nice enough. Stay away from the old sales lady at the original store though.

Want beautiful luminous skin? Come to Amore for your Korean skin care products.
After a couple weeks of searching, I was finally able to find LaNeige’s Strawberry Yogurt Peeling Gel in this store in Flushing. I became enamored with this product when I received a little sample from my mother’s stash of beauty products. It smells heavenly — really like strawberry yogurt to the point where I wanted to eat it instead of applying it on my face. it gently exfoliates and leaves your skin fresh, soft, and emollient. At $ 20 for a 5.1 fluid oz container, it’s not a pricey luxury indulgence.
The store has an elegant modern minimalistic sensibility. Clinical white walls decorated with beautifully packaged skin care products. It’s quiet and serene and operates with efficiency.
