Last year, online K-beauty retailer Peach & Lily hosted its first-ever Korean beauty sample sale in New York City. The two-day event was such a success that founder Alicia Yoon is doing it again this week.

The one-day sale will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, August 24th, and will run from 8am to 10pm (or whenever it’s sold out) at Stoll, 250 W. 39th Street. Prices will be up to 80% off retail.

According to a company rep, there will be about 200 different kinds of products from 15 different brands there, with a much more heavy focus on skin care than last year’s sale. Expect to see brands like Shangpree, Mizon, and May Coop.

Last year shoppers reported long register lines, but Peach & Lily say they hope to alleviate the waiting a bit this year. The space is larger, there will be more registers, and no alcohol will be served (a mixed blessing, probably) to move people through more quickly.
