I'll be moving to Houston soon and wanted to know where everyone shops for their Korean cosmetics. Basically, things like sheet masks, cushion compacts, essence, ampoules, etc...

There is a couple of cosmetics store by Hmart run by koreans. You can found the korean brands there.

There is one inside Hmart that sell the Japanese brand.

Not the one on Bellaire though. It caters to the Chinese despite being a Korean supermarket.

Besides H-Mart, Ranch 99 on I-10 and Blalock has one inside.
But I usually just go to Amazon, it offers pretty large selection with decent pricing.

Problem with Amazon is there is still lot of fake stuff and samples sold as regular items.

My wife is an expert in this stuff and she never buy it there after couple of bad experience.

Ranch 99 have a Shiseido inside the mall. HMart have the Korean brands, sorry for my post earlier as I got mixed up.

Agreed. You'll also want to keep an eye out for an expiration date on certain products, such as the fermented products, brands like Goodal or Sum:37. There are a handful on Bellaire as has been mentioned. There is a small one in the shopping center on Bellaire east of Beltway 8 where Cafe 101 is. It is toward the back near the grocery store. From what I saw, they generally sold in sets and was a bit pricey for my taste.

If you are into Faceshop products, there is the Faceshop store on Bellaire in between Boone and Kirkwood, near Lee's Sandwiches.

There is also a new store which is pretty large, like Sephora-sized, and has a pretty good selection. They are located on Bellaire in between Kirkwood and Cook. They are in the shopping strip where Pho Binh at Night is.

You can also find Laniege at Target and some Tony Moly products at Urban Outfitters.
