I've always been shopping online for my asian cosmetics: nowadays, there are numerous online shops that sell affordable korean skincare and japanese makeup. Granted, there were times when I found myself envious of people living in the States because they had the opportunity to go to actual, physical shops in order to try and buy asian cosmetics; but I never really gave it much thought. That is, until I stumbled upon this article from the Girls On Fire french blog: what? An asian cosmetic shop located in Paris?! Surprised, excited, and most importantly happy, I decided to pay a visit to the Queens House shop.
Too Cool For School, Etude House
Sheet Masks Shelf: Innisfree, Leaders Insolution (quite hard to find online!), Etude House, Holika Holika…
The 3 Concept Eyes (3CE) Shelf… Hard to find online as well !
More 3CE
Queens HouseVery etude house like, the shop was all about pink and cuteness, see photos below. Really cute and I like it !

Yeah so apart from the interior decoration and the whole excitement due to having a physical asian cosmetics shop here in Paris, what's my honest opinion on Queens House?
Upsides:
- Really cute shop
- Possibility to swatch makeup
- Reasonably priced, however it's cheaper online (be it on ebay, cosmetic love or any other online shop ! Though it's only natural for a physical shop to up the prices because they've got to pay off their rent)
- BUT ! The prices for the 3CE cosmetics are almost the same as the ones on their official website.
Downsides:
- Cheaper online, especially for brands like etude house or innisfree
- They don't have that much products available yet: while I approve of the products they've selected for a first approach of asian skincare, I don't think it's quite enough for someone who's already into asian cosmetics. Thankfully, I heard they were broadening their catalogue already… Hoping for some new 3CE cosmetics yehet~
Conclusion: While I'm happy to be able to quickly haul some products in Paris in case of emergency, I don't think I'll supply myself there. The prices are higher than what's on the internet, and their product selection is not quite enough yet: apart from the 3CE cosmetics and maybe the Leaders' Insolution sheet masks, I'll continue shopping online for the most part.
Nevertheless, let's not forget about the unavoidable haul section of this queens house post: what did I buy ? Stingy me didn't buy a lot of products because of the prices; but I still did bring some products back home (and 2 free sheet masks thanks to the G.O.F coupon code yey~)
Thanks for reading ! I'll write a review on the Its Skin Arbutin serum soon, stay tuned (:
