OUR STORY
AnnYeong RokStars!!
We are so happy you’ve found your way to our website and we hope to help/guide you on your K-Beauty journey. Whether you are new to K-Beauty or a veteran of the glass skin game, we are here to help.
We can’t tell you how much this journey has meant for us and how hard we have worked to curate the best products and some of the best prices possible. It all started back in 2011, when the boss lady’s brother moved to Korea. She could not wait to visit and get to see this place he had been raving about. She could only get out there in 2015 and it was love at 1st lipstick.
From the high-end fashion on the streets of Gangnam to the indie suburb of Hongdae she couldn’t help but admire the way Koreans’ skin looked so flawless. It’s all she could talk about and it was in that admiration that her own K-Beauty search and love started. By the time 2016 rolled around she was only using Korean skin care. Many of which she spent hours on the phone discussing with her sister in law in Korea. The two of them decided that they had to bring their love of K-Beauty to their nearest and dearest. This is where the idea of MyBeautyRoks came to life and they started creating skin routines for friends and family. Though on a small scale, their dream was always to bring K-Beauty to all of South Africa.
MyBeautyRoks started out as a need to share her love for all things Korean and eventually turned into an obsession of Korean skincare and culture. Luckily for her, she has family in Korea and getting products was not all that hard. The problem was the higher prices, long wait times, expensive shipping and customs fees, and the ever-changing Rand which became too much.
After two more trips to Korea, suit cases filled with cult classics (yes she can’t stop:)), and many hours spent in many a beauty store, learning, she finally knew she was ready to share her knowledge and curated product lines. So, in 2020 MyBeautyRoks has officially started a new chapter with all of you.
Our aim is to ensure that K-beauty is available to all South Africans at the most affordable prices and we plan to attain our dream by providing products at all price points.
We also want to make it easily and consistently available by cutting out long waiting times.
Our Goal is to stock Korean cosmetics that are both highly rated and use cutting edge research and technology to give you the best possible results. We plan to constantly expand our product range, while consciously catering to all skin types, skin concerns and budgets.
We are unique in that we are have an office in Seoul, Korea and in Cape Town, South Africa. This means we are able to constantly try to obtain better pricing and we can do special orders of any Korean or Japanese beauty products you may want and need. All you need to do is pop us a message and see how we can help you.
We personally test everything we offer, and we are always trying out the latest and most innovative products. We do this as we want to offer you, our valued RokStars, the absolute best service based on trust, knowledge and experience.
From Korea, With Love
