Assalamualaikum and hello everyone.
I bought some stuffs from Althea and decided to share with you guys on what I get for me! I don't get much since I am really keeping an eye on my budget (gotta save more money for something which I will tell you when it's time!). I only buy something I need and as for make-up stuffs, I buy something I don't have and making sure the price AND reviews are good.
Oh and I actually knew about Althea from like, 2 -3 years ago but I just bought one or two items- using my friend's account. You know, kirim sikit-sikit je. But this time, after lots of searching and scrolling, I think that it's time for me to purchase from Althea! The review I will be making is a short ones, like the overall first experience of using these products. However, I am going to make another seperate review on the Aloe BHA Skin toner later so stay tuned for my next post!
So... shall we start? 😉
|| THE PACKAGING
I love it when I got cute parcel. It's like a very happy first impression, you know hahahaha! And Althea's parcel is exactly that. I don't fancy pink- prefer maroon anyway, but it makes me feel double the excitement when I receive a parcel which is not black/grey in color like the usual ones.
And the best thing is the cute box is wrapped carefully. Yeay, I got a new box for my skincare stocks!
Oh! free samples!
some guides on Althea's own products
This is the samples from Althea own brand of skincare- Bare essentials. I saw good reviews on this products and will definitely give it a try later! The prices are also affordable, and the packaging are also minimal but got that exclusive feelings. Let's move on tho what I got for myself.
|| WHAT I GOT FOR ME!
01- Missha The Style 4D Mascara
So, the first product I grabbed is the mascara. I have one but apparently it doesn't work for my eyelashes and it took time to dry! Typical cheap mascara problem, LOL. I searched for the perfect mascara that's not too expensive AND doesn't make the eyelashes look super dramatic, and found this one- Missha The Style 4D Mascara. And it's only RM 16.00!
the brush.
Guys, I will put a link down below for you guys who is interested to make your purchase from Althea and guess what, if you sign up using those link, you will get discount of 20% on your first purchase! Isn't that cool?
My review on Missha The Style 4D Mascara
Overall : Great products with super cheap price!
Pros : Easy to apply, doesn't clump, great for first timers, affordable price
Cons : Not super waterproof, but not that bad either.
02- Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Tissue
I rarely put on make up and when I do, it's usually during my travel or balik kampung time. So I need something that's easy to use and small to carry- Which is exactly why I choose cleansing tissue instead of bottled makeup remover.
A-hah! Guess how much does this one costs. It's only RM 5.00! It's handy and it contains 20 sheets. I bought one as I am just testing it out but I am definitely gonna repurchase this. And to sum it up, I am going to say that this is the best cleansing tissue I've ever get my hands on!
My review on Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Tissue
Overall : Best makeup remover tissue with super cheap price!
Pros : Effective in removing makeups, cost effective, smells nice (well, it contains fragrance a bit but i kinda love the smell hahah!), doesn't dry up the skin, doesn't clog the pores, doesn't sting, doesn't irritate the skin, not sticky
Cons : Contains fragrance
03- Cheese Pongdang 2 Color Eyes
I really love coral eyeshadows but it's hard to find the eye pallet that's cost effective and below RM 50. This is the cheapest I can find, and the colors are super cute. I love that it's size is travel friendly, but I don't like the applicator. Well, can't wish for the best when I pay less, didn't I? hehehe. But the colors of this pallet is super beautiful. Just a bit too much glitter, but surprisingly the glitter doesn't show much if you apply it on your eyelids. It doesn't give you the ready to party types of glitter lah.
My review on Cheese Pongdang 2 Color Eyes
Overall : Cute and I love the size. Not the best eyeshadows, though.
Pros : Pigmented, colors are nice, easy to apply, travel size- easy to bring everywhere
Cons : Chalky, powdery.a bit too much glitter
04- Muse Lip Dial Stick
I love the coral but not so bright shade of lipstick so I bought M07- Edie Red. So far I love the color but I can't seem to roll it in back. Luckily I didnt roll out too much of it ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
swatch of the lip color
My review on Muse Lip Dial Stick
Overall : Great color, great packaging
Pros : Pigmented, colors are nice, easy to apply, matte color
Cons : a bit dry so please put on lip balm before apply the lipstick, need to reapply, I can't roll the lipstick back in. Idk if mine's cracked or how ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
05- Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Mist
I am a big fan of Nature Republic as I've been using their products for years! CC Cream, toner emulsion, sleeping pack, sheet masks - you name it. But I am really sad that NR Malaysia closed down recently and I can't get over that fact! I bought this mist as the one of the replacement of my NR Aloe Vera Toner. This is just a normal soothing face mist and not a toner ya! It's hydrating but not enough for those who suffer from dry skin like me. Sadly, I can't find Nature Republic toner in Althea, so I make my way to find another Toner that's got good reviews too.
My review on Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel Mist
Overall : Soothing, freshens up your skin
Pros : Soothing, refreshing, moisturizing, can apply to the whole body, suitable for sensitive skin
Cons : Dry skin needs more than this
06- Aloe BHA Skin Toner
This, my friends, has got to be the best steal ever! I bought this on sale and it was RM 38.00 and I open Althea website again today and found that it's back to its original price of RM 80.00! I am literally screaming right now hahahaha! Of course I didn't realize it when I put this on my cart as I was only focusing on the reviews and results! hahahahahaha okay enough laughing. This toner is surprisingly mild and gentle on my skin, doesn't sting and it moisturizes super well! I am going to use this until the last drop and make another exclusive review for you guys yaa.
My review on Aloe BHA Skin Toner
Overall : Moisturizing
Pros : Moisturizing, gentle, not sticky, suitable for dry skin
Cons : Am testing this products till the last drop and will let you guys know later!

So, that wraps up my Althea Haul! Oh, remember I promised to give you guys discount of 20% from your total bills (max disount capped at RM 20.00), and this is only applicable for new customers only. Just click at any Althea word in this post (or HERE!) because I actually linked it straight to the offer! hehehe. Good luck for your shopping and make sure to read the ingredients, products specifications & information and please please google for the review, okay?
|| OVERALL EXPERIENCE
I am satisfied with the products received especially in terms of the packaging. You can enjoy free postage if you purchase total of RM 100.00. However, the waiting period is slightly longer (at least 7-14 days) as the items are shipped directly from Korea. I would recommend you to purchase from the physical outlets near you or you purchase from Hermo as it's based in Malaysia and you won't have to wait as long. Unfortunately, I can't see my tracking number in their new website. I hope they'll fix this.
Overall, I rate Althea:
4.8 stars for the quality and presentation (hey I love the box)
4 stars for the variety of products (please include Nature Republic Aloe Vera Toner, pleaseeee)
Will I purchase again?
Definitely!
Will I recommend this website?
If you're willing to wait a bit (as the shipments are made from Korea), yes I would definitely recommend this website!
Assalamualaikum and Hi!
So for 2018 Chinese New Year holiday, my family and I decided to go to Melaka (I know, again!). Actually, it was me who decided that since I saw posts about Masbro village and I wanna take pictures there badly HAHA!
