Precautions for buying cosmetics in Hong Kong:
1. Choose to patronize reputable shops. Although the punishment for selling fake goods in Hong Kong is very heavy, don't worry about buying fake goods, but you'd better go to regular shops to buy cosmetics. The three holy places that Hong Kong must go shopping are Causeway Bay, Kowloon and Mong Kok. There are many shopping malls and shops here, and you have everything you need to buy cosmetics.
2. Cosmetics in stores like Sasa, Zhuo Yue, Longcheng, Yashi and Jinying are cheap, but attention should be paid to the date of production of cosmetics. Because the dates of many promotional items in these stores may not be very fresh. Many foreign brands don't print the production date directly, as in China, but a production batch number, for example, indicating the year by letters, so do some homework in advance and be familiar with the batch number of cosmetics you want to buy.
3. You can search the information of discount cards of various stores in the forum. Many enthusiastic users will share their card numbers and names, and many stores can enjoy the discount by their names and card numbers in the Payment Times.
4. No matter where you buy it, remember to ask the shopping guide for samples. You may get a lot of good things by sharpening your mouth. ?
5. Don't go too early. Zhuo Yue, Sasa, Longcheng, etc. generally open from 9:3-1 am to 1: 3 pm; Department stores in Hong Kong usually open from 1-11 am to 9: pm to 12: am, while Watsons and Wanning usually open from 9-1 am to 9-11:3 pm. So it's better to start shopping at the destination at 9: 3 in the morning, and stores will open one after another. Department stores open at the latest, so you can leave them at the end.
6. After payment, you must check the documents to ensure that the price is correct.
