Althea

/ / m a i n / /

hello everyone!!

im back with a post before i jet off to spain!:)

i'll still be posting blog entries in spain cos i have drafts prepped already;)

but for daily updates do visit my insta @etherealpeonies!

for today's post i'll be sharing about Althea!

i received this mysterious box from Althea not long ago!

super excited to open this pretty box!!

 the fine details on the packaging is worth a mention!

i love the mix of classy gold imprintments on the smooth wine red box, very festive and merry indeed!

tadah!

revealing my box of goodies kindly sent over from the Althea team!!:)

so what is Althea?

Althea is a sg/korea based company that sells korean skincare and makeup products at really really good prices!

they have a wide range of products and brands, including some of my favourites like innisfree, nature republic, the saem, etude house and the face shop!

and by good prices i mean huge discounts!

we all know that in sg there are many korean skincare/makeup flagship stores already, but prices are marked up pretty badly here!

when i saw the prices at Althea, i got a shock (legit)!

some items were going at a whooping 50-80% off!! 

and other than having a wide range of products/brands and being super affordable, the best part is that its 100% authentic as its shipped in from korea directly!:) 

 i'm really thankful to Althea for sending over goodies that i really like and will use!

now lets take a closer look at the contents shall we :)

 primera // watery cream alphine berry moisturizer ($35)

the face shop // rice water bright cleansing foam ($6)

innisfree // creammellow lipstick in latte brown ($13.5)

saemmul // cheek and lip tint in red ($5)

the saem // concealer in shade 1.5 ($5)

 i've swatched the innisfree lipstick and the colour is pigmented and its really moisturizing!

i've always loved innisfree's product and this one is no exception!:)

Christmas is a season of giving, so i chose saemmul's lip and cheek tint and as a gift to my grandaunt!

she has always loved such versatile products, a single item like this can add a pop of colour to her cheeks for a healthy flush of colour, and create rosy lips!

and the saem's concealer is a dupe for my favourite 3CE concealer!

it provides medium to heavy coverage (with multiple layers) and has 3 shades to suit different skin tones!:)

and not to mention, the lip and cheek tint and the concealer only cost $5 each, so worth it!!

 i love the matte white packaging, its simple yet pretty.

 and finally, the primera watery cream moisturizer!

honestly, i've been wanting to get this ever since i saw it at SaSa, but it was priced at a whooping $55! and i felt it was abit pricey :/

so when i saw it on Althea at a super good price of $35, theres no reason not to get it!:)

even though its stated to be a 'cream', its definitely not heavy AT ALL and not sticky as well!

absorbs super well and quickly, i really love this product :)

 now a look at the finer prints, these are all the benefits i've mentioned above!:)

 so go on and do some xmas shopping on Althea and prep your skin to look pretty this xmas!

or you can get affordable yet practical gifts for family and friends!!:)
