No doubt, Althea Korea has been my go-to online shop if I needed (or most of the time, wanted) some Korean skincare and makeup products. Not only is there a wide selection of brands, but their prices are the most affordable.
I was browsing for weeks on the site, just window shopping but when they released a buy 2 get 1 free promo for the It's Skin serum effector, I knew I have to dive in because not all the time I will get this kind of steal. One of my first orders from Althea Korea was the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effect and i loved it so i knew i had to try out the other variants from this line.
For the buy 2 get 1 free promo, I got the Power 10 Formula WH Effector, VB Effector and the PO Effector. WH is for whitening, VB has vitamin B6, and PO is indicated for pores.
I also got the Skinfood Black Sugar Honey Mask Wash Off because I saw a couple of great reviews of this in Youtube and I bought the Eggwhite Pore Mask before, also from Skinfood and is really great.
And then, i struggled to pick one toner. I love toners, it's one of my favorite steps in my skincare routine. I know for sure that i wanted to get a pore refining or oil control toner and I was caught between the Etude House pore refresher and this A'pieu Stone Peach Pore Less Freshner. But i thought, hey, this time I won't get into the hype first and try out a highly rated product which is not that popular. And I'm so glad i did, this toner is very refreshing and really cleanse dirt and makeup residue after washing my face, and, it smells like peaches!
And then, the Y.E.T officially launched in the site and they have an ongoing sale for all products of this brand. A lot of products have been sold out already so i only was able to get Y.E.T Don't worry Mask Sheet in oil control variant. It's very cheap compared to all the other mask sheets so it's no surprise that they run out fast. I've used this one already and it's your typical sheet mask but hey it's half the price and does the job just as good so i love it!
Alright, now this next product I got was due to the fact that I've been having breakouts particularly on my nose and cheeks area. I used to remedy this with an acne patch but I already ran out of those so I decided this might be very effective. I used it a couple times already and i think it really did help out dry out pimples faster so they heal fast. What i don't like about this though is how it dries off and then it crusts and crumbles so it does not sits on the face (or pimple for that matter) for a long time.
And last but not the least, is one product that I have been wanting to try out for the longest time. I'm a big fan of scrubs and this has so many great reviews. It's fairly cheap as well and you get a big squeeze container. The smell is so good and it's not so abrasive so I use it daily. The best thing about this scrub foam is that it does not dry out my face so much after washing and it foams up into a lather so i feel like i'm not just exfoliating but also washing my face with one product.
And that is it! Days before writing this haul, I have already placed another order in Althea Korea, i know i need help! But hey, skincare is a great thing to invest in and Koreans are the best in that area, in my opinion, and thanks to Althea Korea, i now have access to hundreds and thousands of Korean makeup and skincare products. I just have to restrain myself for buying too much LOL.
until my next ramble,
