After watching almost all beauty YouTuber hauling their Althea.kr box and after justifying to not let my free 150 pesos sign up points go to waste in a month, I gave in. . .and meticulously browsed through the best sellers and tried my best not to put them all in my online cart ^__^
If you haven't heard about Althea Korea before, you might be living under a rock. Kidding aside, it's a Korean beauty online shop which carries so many Korean skincare & makeup brands and ships to the Philippines and other countries in Asia for free if you purchased 1500 pesos and above. Upon signing up, you also get a free 150 points which you can use to buy from the website. Shipping usually takes 10 to 15 days and what's great about it is that your orders are shipped directly to your home. Mine took 19 days total probably because I'm in the Visayan region.
Anyhow, here are the goodies I got. . .
I love this! Great for an oily gal like me.
I got the darkest shade available which is No.23 but it's still too light for me (gah!) The formula is great and is matte which I really like but I have to use a darker powder to set for it match my skin tone.
I'm a sucker for facial sprays and I love this one!
I've read a lot of great reviews about this serum but I haven't used it for that long yet. But, my first impression of it is that I like it because it's lightweight, fragrance-free and sinks into my skin fast.
It says that you can use it before or after mascara but I like using it as like a mascara primer because it has fibers that makes your lashes fuller and it helps hold the curl of your lashes well.
This is my least favorite purchase :(
It did not remove my waterproof mascara and it leaves a sticky, sort of oily residue on your face after using it.
And, that's a wrap!
Over all (except for the time I had to wait to receive my orders), I had a great shopping experience. I really recommend you guys checking out Althea Korea. They have great customer service, my orders came in a secure packaging & undamaged, they offer a wide selection of products and they truly have the best price compared to other online shops.
talk soon,
