After promising last June at the opening of its first Lisbon store that Porto would be its next focus, Occasion2Smile — which offers more than 20 South Korean cosmetics brands — has now opened in Porto, bringing its total number of physical stores in Portugal to two in just three months. From October 10 to 12, Occasion2Smile will also participate in Beauty in Town (BiT), the beauty market held at NorteShopping.
In March 2024, siblings Inês and Rodrigo Melo Moreira launched the Occasion2Smile online store, available at Occasion2smile.com/pt, with the support of their father, a lawyer, and their mother, an accountant.
Thanks to TikTok, the brand grew rapidly, opening two brick-and-mortar stores dedicated exclusively to K-beauty this year in Portugal’s main cities: the first in June on Rua de Entrecampos in Lisbon, and the second in September on Rua da Constituição in Porto.
Among the best-selling South Korean brands at Occasion2Smile are ANUA, Haruharu Wonder and SKIN1004, alongside other highly coveted names such as Beauty of Joseon, COSRX, Round Lab and Medicube.
The retailer also offers a selection of emerging products that are still little known in the West, including the award-winning 1025 Dokdo Toner by Round Lab; donkey milk-based products from Selenus, SKYMILK and Tovegan; a line featuring integrated microneedling technology from VT Cosmetics; Dr. Althea’s 345 Relief Cream regenerating gel-cream, designed to treat blemishes; and Aromatica’s Quinoa Protein Shampoo, which helps repair hair damaged by the loss of the Cell Membrane Complex (CMC).
Some of its current bestsellers include Tirtir’s foundation and Tfit’s body-care products.
These natural formulas — known for cleansing and moisturizing the skin, providing sun protection and reducing signs of aging, wrinkles, blemishes and acne — also stand out for their sophisticated packaging and wide range of high-quality products.

Bangladesh’s BGMEA seeks policy reforms, release of pending incentives
They said bank audit procedures have stalled numerous applications. Around Tk 57 billion in incentives for the textile and apparel sector remain unsettled in fiscal 2025-26, creating acute liquidity pressure and affecting exports.
Bangladesh trade body BGMEA representatives recently met Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury and urged him to release pending cash incentives without waiting for quarterly release schedules and simplify the disbursement process.
They said bank audit procedures have stalled numerous applications.
They also raised concerns over loan rescheduling and working capital.
The authorities were requested to disburse incentives upon application submission instead of waiting for quarterly release schedules, according to a release from the trade body.
BGMEA vice president Mohammad Shihab Uddoja Chowdhury raised concerns over loan rescheduling and working capital. He said banks often reschedule loans to maintain non-performing loan ratios, but fail to provide the working capital factories need to resume operations.
He proposed that banks pair rescheduling with working capital support to create a win-win outcome, allowing factories to operate and repay loans. The finance minister agreed with the proposal.
BGMEA leaders also called for business facilitation and lower operational costs to help Bangladesh remain competitive in the global market. They sought policy support to remove obstacles in customs, ports and other administrative layers and to ensure an investment-friendly environment.
