Bangkok is a shopping paradise for clothes, but can the same be said about their makeup and beauty products? Absolutely! Bangkok’s glitzy department stores carry the same high-end American and European cosmetics available in the Philippines, plus a delightful assortment of locally-made personal care products. My favorite one being Beauty Buffet, a local Thailand cosmetics brand offering a wide-range of make-up, skincare and bodycare products.

Beauty Buffet outlet at the BTS station of The Emporium MallBeauty Buffet's delicious selection of eyeshadows, foundation, lipstick, and skin care products satisfy your craving for affordable, Bangkok-made cosmetics. From afar, it’s easy to mistake this shop for a bakeshop; the female employees wear aprons over their uniform while the males don large chef hats. But within its pink-and-white exteriors is a wide range of cosmetics and tools from Thai makeup artist Gino McCray, bath products from the in-house brand LifeSpa, nail polish, and much more.
