Beauty Heroes

Beauty Heroes' aim is to introduce internationally-renowned beauty brands which are as yet unavailable in the Hong Kong market, carrying niche lines that are not mass-marketed. Current brands include Paula Dorf Cosmetics from New York, Stila from USA, Bomb Cosmetics from UK, Blinc Inc. from USA, Smith's Rosebud from USA and Talika from France. Each brand has its own unique specialty. Products are imported directly from the source so you can be sure of their quality and authenticity.
