The Magic Behind Overrated

Our Story

Overrated was born from a deep love for Korean beauty, playful Asian collectibles, & the happiness that cute, thoughtfully chosen things can bring. What started as a personal passion grew into a dream of creating a space filled with color, joy, & discovery — inspired by the fun, creativity, & trends we love but couldn’t always find.

Every product you see is hand-picked with intention, from blind boxes & plushies to beauty, snacks, & collectible treasures. Our goal is simple: to spark a little excitement, a little dopamine, and a lot of smiles the moment you walk through our doors.

Our website extends that experience beyond the storefront — inviting you to explore, shop, & see the world through our kawaii eyes, wherever you are.

Authenticity - Quality - Community

Our Values

Authenticity

Every item at OVERRATED is carefully sourced from trusted suppliers and brands. If we wouldn’t proudly sell it in our own store, we won’t offer it to you. Authenticity is non-negotiable.

Quality

We believe cute should still be high-quality. From blind boxes to beauty, snacks, and lifestyle goods, each product is hand-selected for craftsmanship, safety, and overall experience — not just trends.

Community

Overrated is more than a shop — it’s a space for people who love Korean culture, kawaii collectibles, and discovering something special. Whether you visit us in-store or online, you’re part of our community.

Challenging the Ordinary

Why Overrated?

The name Overrated is intentional.

It’s our way of challenging hype and expectations — & proving that when something is truly special, it deserves the attention. We don’t chase trends just because they’re popular. We focus on quality, creativity, & authenticity.

Other companies? So overrated.

At OVERRATED, we go beyond what’s expected. Every item is thoughtfully curated to reflect real Asian trends, playful design, & meaningful experiences — so you’re not just shopping, you’re discovering something special.

About OVERRATED

About OVERRATED

OVERRATED opened in December 2023 as one shop at The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township, Michigan. We wanted a place where you could squeeze the squishy, shake the blind box and swatch the lip tint before you buy it. In August 2026 we opened our second store at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi, and almost everything on our shelves is also here at overratedkbeauty.com.

What you will find

Squishies are our biggest section, from slow rise food squishies to handmade Chiboki. Around them you will find blind boxes and collectible figures, Sanrio, plushies, slime, Japanese and Korean snacks, and Korean skincare and makeup.

Brands we carry include Laneige, Beauty of Joseon, SKIN1004, Round Lab, Tocobo, Esfolio, Pop Mart, Sonny Angel, Smiski, Chiikawa, Wakuku, Chiboki, Moozy, Mystery Dumpling, Baby Three, Manchao, Nommi, Nanci, Pokemon, Mr. Pa, Hello Kitty, Sanrio, Kawaii Slime Company, Monchhichi, Miffy and Demon Slayer.
