I love shopping on Olive Young. I can get all the newest launches, special deals, little freebies. I love the value boxes and promos they're always do. I think the fastest something has arrived from it being shipped to arriving was about 3-4 days which was honestly so shocking to me, when I'd have to wait over 2 weeks for anything from YesStyle to get shipped.. Funnily enough, often times my order first gets shipped to Frankfurt and then to UK for whatever reason!
I can't believe Wakemake is an Olive Young housebrand! With shipping rates as crazy as they are, I'm astounded at their relatively low free shipping threshold. Thanks for the heads up on their upcoming sale!
This was very useful Ulrike, thanks for doing this video (and enabling me to spend more 😂). Please make it a series! Now I need to keep an eye on upcoming sale.
I am currently in Seoul and were finally able to 'live the dream' and shop in an offline Olive Young store! What an experience, especially the biggest stores with multiple floors. The options and variety is insane. My only disappointment is that they are the only skincare store I have shopped in here that doesn't give you free samples. Tiny thing, but all things matter. Beyond that, definitely a fantastic store and was amazing to be able to browse the shelves live isntead of digitally like I'm used to :)
My sister sent me videos when she was at Olive Young (I think the big one at Myeongdong Station?) and it was so PACKED and chaotic in there, wow. My mum went to a smaller one and apparently the shop assistants were so sweet helping her find things. I'm surprised to hear you don't get samples in-store!
I have a love/hate relationship with Oliveyoung. I love their selection of products but the prices are SOOO inflated!!! Also, I love in the EU and I get hit with taxes (AND management fees from the carrier) every single time😔😔😔😔
The taxes are so exasperating, but of course we have that with every store. EU custom regulations are exhausting, especially German custom has gotten me into so many annoying situations! I talk about the inflated prices in the video as well, it is my one gripe with OY, and it wasn't like that in the beginning. All the constant sales events just mean the regular prices have been hiked up ridiculously just as with Yesstyle. Ugh.
Yes please. Make it a series for all the different k beauty stores.

That's so funny! I think it might be because the planes all arrive at Frankfurt airport!
Thanks Ulrike! I would really appreciate you doing a series on other vendors.

Ah thank you! I have to see if I'll do a series, this video didn't do so well sadly! :(

Btw korea costco way cheaper but only limited selection.
Olive Young Canada usually ships around 2 weeks. Not bad!
Oh good to know, I wasn't sure about shipping to Canada!
Awesome video

Olive Young whenever I've looked up products, are more expensive than others.
As I say in the video, they have great value packs and often good deals during sales but yes, prices in general are high sadly.
Ulrike how do you know when Big Bang sales are happening?
Ah, I'm an affiliate so we usually get an email about it. But also, I believe the two yearly Big Bang sales are always late spring and autumn!
