Unboxing and Mini-haul: Althea Philippines

Looking for a store where you can shop Korean skincare and makeup products? If yes, please continue reading; I'm sharing a short review and my experience on Althea Philippines. 🔖

I was always intrigued by the radiant and youthful skin of Koreans ever since I started watching kdramas. So I started reading articles about their skin care routine. I was dumbfounded to know that their regimen involves 10 steps (more or less depending on one's need). 😱 I only do 2 steps. 😅

I began looking for the must have korean skincare and makeup products but found them pricey until I discovered Althea PhilippinesIt was March 2016 when I made my first purchase. Skin care and make-up products are relatively cheaper here compared to the stores here in the Philippines. 

Althea Philippines is a one-stop online shopping destination where we can enjoy authentic kproducts at reasonable price. It is perfect for lazy gals like me who prefer online shopping and of course, affordable products, plus shipping is free on orders above Php 999. Isn't it nice?
The parcel comes in a pink sturdy box; products are bubble wrapped so that products are secured from breaking while in transit. Packages are shipped directly from Korea. It takes 4-6 days before packages are delivered in our doorstep, well based on my personal experience. 📦
There are lots of sample products included when I received my first box but they were gone on my next purchase. 😐

Verdict. Will I purchase again? Definitely! Affordable products and free shipping, what more can you ask for! Happy shopping! 안녕!

BTW, here are some of the products I purchased recently (with short review):

It's Skin WH Effector - Php 390 Serums contain active ingredients designed to address specific skin problems. This product is specific for whitening. I don't see the difference yet but will update you girls soon!

Update as of April 2017: I am down to the last drops but I didn't see much difference in my skin. Have you tried this product? How was it?
The Saem Cover Perfection Pot Concealer - Php 180. Price isn't bad for a concealer right? I got the #2 Rich Beige. It blends well on the skin giving that natural look. It does a pretty good job in covering those dark circles because of sleepless nights (blame those kdramas!) 🙊
It's My Hand Cream - Php 70. It gives average moisture without leaving that greasy feeling to your hands. However that moisture does not last long. It has a subtle scent that does not last long as well. You get what you pay for.
Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patch - Php 190. Pimple patch is new to me but I daringly tried this product as I read lots of good reviews. My verdict: this product work wonders. It amazingly flattens and reduces the redness of the pimple overnight. It is often out of stock so when you see that there are available stocks, be sure to check it out immediately.
Etude House Moistfull Collagen - Php 590 Toner helps balance your skin's PH level and helps to better absorb your following skin care treatments. Other toners tends to dry out your skin but this toner gives moisture to your skin.

Update as of April 2017: This toner is probably not for my skin type (acne-prone) as it caused major breakout to me. I ceased using this product.
