Review of Harmay Xintiandi branch: Is the price worth it?

Harmay is a famous skincare, perfume, and cosmetics store in China. It’s known for having a huge variety of tester sizes, but regular sizes are also available. 📍The branch I visited is at Xintiandi in Shanghai. It’s a two-story store with a huge selection, and the shelves are never empty. —- 💚 Pros - Wide variety of products across categories: cosmetics, skincare, and perfume, with a heavier focus on skincare and perfume. - The store is famous for having many tester sizes available for sale, but regular sizes are also offered. - Great for people who want to try many different products; you can buy tester sizes to try out. - Perfect for those who already use certain brands and have a list of items to pick up at the store. - You get to try many types of skincare or perfume because I haven’t found another store with so many testers for sale. —- ❤️ Cons - If the store doesn’t carry the brand you’ve used before or the specific item you intended to buy, it can be a bit difficult because there are no testers to try before buying; all items are sealed. - Don’t rush to put items in your basket. Check the prices first because some items are much cheaper than elsewhere, sometimes by thousands if it’s expensive perfume or skincare, but some prices differ only slightly or are even more expensive. —- By myself, on my own
