Olive Young to open in Los Angeles, California
K-Beauty store Olive Young is looking to open its first brick and mortar shop in the USA, and it looks like it’s going to be in Los Angeles, California. Continuing their mission in supporting small and medium-sized K-Beauty brands, the move will be made via the brand’s Los Angeles subsidiary. I personally hope this will only be the first of many, not just in the USA, but eventually worldwide!
And that’s it for this week’s roundup of beauty news! See you on the next one?
