Amuse

This place is great for earrings. The quality is great and price is lower than other stores.
I went to the great mall recently and saw it closed — not sure of if for renovation or they are closed down. I hope it re-​opens.

The manager is very disrespectful. She talks over you as if you are insignificant.
She yelled at me and took me to the back to scold me telling me to sit on her ugly red chair as if I were a dog. I‘m not coming back. Thanks Cindy, I hope you get sued and go bankrupt (;

I think this store is better than INVU across the way. Better selection of costume jewelry (necklace, earrings, hair clips, and rings) from Korea. My wife likes to pair these accessories with her Indian suits and saris. They have a good selection of purses for parties as well.

Boo to the lady that was helping me. I had to come back when my baby was asleep in the stroller so I could actually shop and the lady slammed a drawer shut and woke up my baby. We moved so she could continue looking for the item in packaging and not on display for us, and she forgot about it and moved to help another customer. Geez…

Amuse is also know as DC Eyelashes, one of the pop stores at the great mall. Super cute location immaculately clean. Dc is great at what she does. Very comfortable explains everything step by step makes you feel at ease so sweet and most importantly she did an amazing job the lashes look natural yet full, very detail oriented. Her prices are super cheap compare to the mac store, plus she had wide selection to pick from. Will be back for sure!

I love this store because not only can you score super CUTE super CHEAP accessories, but their things don’t look generic! I usually go here since I love black stud like earrings — the ones that make your ear lobes look gauged (sp?) LOL! But they have all types of cute things there… I also got a pretty cute wedding ring (I lost mine & this will do for now) for 22 bucks!!! :) This is the go-​to place if you love earrings like I do!!!

Is cheap but very bad quality, i didn’t get a chance to wear them, the earring and the necklace broke.

I go here for my cheap, cheap, CHEAP fake lashes! I used to buy lashes at MAC for $ 14 a pair, but here, they’re only $ 3 per pop. You can get 2 pairs here for the same price you would at the drug store or even Target! Same quality and all too! You can find a few that are 100% human hair, but I guess I don’t really mind. Yes, the prices DID go up from $ 2 to $ 3, but seriously, if you’re going to bargain about $ 1, I don’t know what else to say when they are SUPER cheap already.
They also have a bunch of BLING rings, earrings, necklaces, etc etc, but I would prob just go to Forever21 for stuff like that.
Note: There is a minimum to use your credit cards. I think it’s like $ 10.

Okay, so this store is so asian, but I can say that, because I’m asian: D
All the jewelry here is SUPER SPARKLY. They’ve got a bunch of girly items. Everything from rings, to clutches, to fake eyelashes.
I’m not really in to the whole fake eyelashes thing, but whenever my BFF and I decide to hit the club, we go to Amuse to get eyelashes and glue and she puts them on for her and for me (because I absolutely suck at it). It’s super cheap for both the glue and the fake eyelashes. It’s not too flashy either. Some fake eyelashes are purely for costume wear but I like the different styles they sell here.
For the jewelry, some of it is a little too flashy for me. They have sets of things with huge fake diamonds in them, as if you’re going to a ball. I like the smaller earrings they have that are for every day wear. It’s always under $ 5 for earrings! Only the flashy ones are expensive.
They’ve got cute clutches if you need a last minute thing to go with your outfit too. They’ve got a bunch of different styles.
This is my go to spot when I’m about to head out for the night and wanna glam it up a bit :)
The service here is alright too. Definitely A-​OK place. I wouldn’t recommend buying the super flashy stuff, it’s definitely not as cheap! If it’s more than $ 6, go to forever 21 first and look around there.

I come here to buy RED CHERRY and CREME False Eyelashes.
I do a lot of wedding makeup and these lashes are by far the best you can find for the price. The reason is because the strip is very thin and flexible which allows you to apply them right next to the lashline. I recommend these lashes as long as the person wearing the lashes has a good amount of their own lashes and/​or wants dramatic looking lashes. (If you want more natural looking lashes and/​or you have really sparse/​short lashes I would recommend going to the DC lash booth just up the way over by Dave and Busters)
They recently raised their price by a dollar which I was a little sad about because I usually buy about 20 pairs at a time but they only went from $ 1.99 to $ 2.99 so it is still cheaper than buying them from the drugstore and are a better quality.

This place has a crap load of NYX products (more than any other location I’ve ever been to), but here’s the downer. They do tape their lipsticks (or other open-​able packages) however they have NO products that have the sealed plastic perforated edges wrapper on them which mean it’s never ever been opened since leaving the warehouse. I don’t ever buy products that aren’t 100% sealed. And yes, like I said, the owners putting tape on the product is nice, but for my OCD self, it’s just not enough. Not worth my catching any icky germs from anyone.
Another major turn off, their staff is so mean. The Korean lady mugged and just yapped on the phone. When I needed help I had to get the waddling Mexican girl to help me. I could soooo tell she did not want to help me, such an uncomfortable feeling. But oh well, I wanted to see that huge 2 story make up train on wheels that was over priced. :)

I was searching for a broach for great grandma’s birthday and they had tons! Most of them were for younger people, but the sales woman was able to help me find a gorgeous one for gg.
They range from 28 — 50+ bucks, not cheap!!! but very pretty.

Meh…
I used to like coming here, cause the girls are much nicer than the people at INVU, who will bark, «Don’t open!» when you’re not even touching anything… But anyway, I came here again this week to check out their fake nails. Right next to the area where they’ve placed all of their nail accessories is a mirror. The moment I arrived, some Asian dickwad from the back came over and stood a good 3 feet away from me. Everytime I glanced in the mirror, his beady eyes were glaring at me. I did say, «I wish that guy would quit standing so close to me» a couple of times to my friend, but the guy didn’t really care. Asshole.
Now, there were numerous preteens in the store at the same time. Did it have something to do with them being Asian and me not?
2 stars because the girls that work here are fantastic and always such a great help.

Ehhh… everything in here was just… ok.
I mainly came in to check out the NYX and just because I haven’t been to the Great Mall in yeeeeears. If you want cheap jewelry, that’s cool. The NYX selection nowadays is awful… don’t think I’ll ever be coming back unless I want some cheap-​ass bracelet or something.

If you want cheap jewelry then come here. (And when I say cheap I mean price and cheap looking)
I guess the earrings are a good find just because if you lose one its not a big deal…
Other than that, I would compare this store to a Claire’s or Icing. No way would I come all the way out to the Great Mall for this store. There is a no exchange/​return policy and the staff is not that helpful when it comes to finding certain items in the store.
I would suggest coming here if you are a teacher or are throwing a kiddie party because they have great deals on items that little girls love. (I coached soccer and filled up my end of the season goodie bags with stuff I bought from Amuse)

Where can you find beauty knick-​knacks for under $ 5. AMUSE!
I buy my earrings here. always but beware, no refunds or exchanges,

if you’re a fan of NYX e/​s and products; there’s a variety of NYX e/​s singles and trios, Lip products and. .. .. Apple mascara for $ 1.99 NYX e/​s singles are $ 3.99 each
I’ve heard great things about NYX e/​s so i got beanie and the infamous apple mascara. At first i was surprised to find it then stumped as to which to get.
But after opening the apple mascara i was disappointed to find out it dried out.

This is the spot to get RED CHERRY LASHES…
RED CHERRY LASHES say they are made from human hair. Personally… HMMM i dunno about the human hair thing, but fuck whatever!
These lashes typically go for $ 6 a piece and they sell it for $ 2… AWESOME… SCORE…
I love this place for that!

I never thought about reviewing this place until now… Since I saw Jaye C.‘s review as the ROTD, I thought, wow, this is a place i go to all the time and I never reviewed it!
So, yes… Amuse is a place that I visit a couple of times a month. And what do I go there for you may ask? FAKE EYELASHES!
I remember about a year ago, one of my girlfriends and I were at Great Mall and she told me about how great the fake lashes at Amuse were. So, I gave it a try, and wow was she right. First when I saw the price ($ 1.99) each, I wasn’t sure that they would be so great. But after wearing them, I fell in love. These fake lashes are of very good quality, very cheap, and they look very good when worn. So nowadays, everytime I get a chance and am at Great Mall, I stop by Amuse and pick up around 10 fake lashes. and I keep them for whenever I go out at night, and what not.
On top of that, this place is very neat, clean, and although they have thousands of items (it seems like), everything is always kept tidy.
I don’t really buy anything here other than the fake lashes, but they have a very wide variety of cute jewelry… OH YES, and the hideously fake Coach purses strung around the edges of the ceiling… *shudders*
but if Amuse has what you want/​need, definitely a great place to get some trendy accessories and get a bang for your buck! (i never thought i would use that phrase… but then again, I’ve used a lot of new phrases since Unilocal came into my life.

Numerous times I’ve come here and I always find something that comes home with me. Spend $ 50 and you’ll still feel like you spent your money well. Items here are super cheap, none have fallen apart on me or anything.
I come here for:
— fake eyelashes @ $ 1.99 (I usually buy like 8 of these)
— colored contact lenses @ $ 17.99 (grey, blue sapphire, green, hazel, purple, etc) and these are located at the register with care instructions. Oh and please be wary that these contacts make your pupils look retardedly dilated.
— NYC eyeliner
— earrings/​bangles/​bracelets/​rings
— trendy but cheap necklaces
— hair accessories
To the left of the entrance, you’ll notice a wall of ridiculous amount of Coach knock offs that people actually buy, and the best part is it’s OBVIOUSLY fake because they mix up the C’s with G’s and the stitching is just terrible.
Depending on who is working, you’ll get great service and they will help you find what you’re looking for, however the one I try to avoid is the 30something Asian male who won’t even budge out of the counter to show me where my article of inquiry is — instead he just points to where it should be and pretty much gives a look of «leave me the hell alone, and don’t steal anything».
You can find NYX cosmetics here if you’re a fan. Definitely a great place to stop by for cheap accessories if you’re tired of the same played out mess at F21.
