July is my birth month and so is my go-to online shop for my K-Beauty needs - Althea. Althea turned two this month and to celebrate this milestone, the fairies at Althealand laid out a bunch of freebies and giveaways for the whole month of July. Add to that, once you shop, you'd get a limited edition birthday box and diy kit which you can use to decorate your birthday box just like what I did.
Hands down, Althea is my favorite online shop to get my #Kbeauty fix. If you still haven't received the memo, I basically turned my skin care routine around and switched to purely Korean products (and my skin is totally loving it!).
If you're new to K-Beauty and you're clueless on what to get, you can check Althea's list of specially curated boxes which house full sized products at a fraction of the total value. Talk about a way to dip your fingers to the K-Beauty world without spending a fortune.
Speaking of beauty boxes, Althea recently sent me their Althea Box #19 Total Brightening which contains 7-full size products that promise to make the skin beaming in no time, to review. I've used the products for a week now and I'll tell you my honest-to-goodness two cents after the jump!

If you've been reading my posts recently, you'd already know that I'm seriously hooked into #Kbeauty (and #Kdrama). I just couldn't help it. You see, for a girl like me cursed with a direful sensitive skin, finding products that work on my skin without causing a massive break out is something that's hard to come by. But things went sweeter when I decided to dip my fingers into Korean skin care. Lets just say that my skin reacts beautifully with products from the Land of the Morning Calm. #PraiseGod
Well, it doesn't help that one of my favorite online shops to get my Korean skin care fix, - Althea, posts crazy deals all the time. And those crazy deals led to the situation below!

Innisfree is one of my favorite roadside skin care shop. If you're like me and you're into Korean skin care, I bet the Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mask does not need any more introduction to you. It is one of Korea's cult beauty products and it has been featured in so many beauty sites ever since it debuted in the market. It is a product loved by many, making it one of the top best selling products of Innisfree.
If I will list all the beauty products that I discovered and loved ultimately last year, the IOPE Air Cushion (Matte Longwear) will definitely ace that. I adore this product so much that despite the gazillion base make up that I have in my beauty stash, I still choose to use this BB cushion non-stop (currently on my third refill).
Despite the fact that I just recently been to Seoul, Korea last month, I was still not able to haul as much Korean skin care and make up items as I thought I would. I just bought my holy grail BB cream which is the Dr. Jart+ Black Label BB Cream and that was it.
The reason being is that I was overwhelmed with so much Korean skin care brands (especially in Myeondong) that I did not know what to get. Add to that, I was just in Seoul for two days and I had very limited time to shop. Good thing, I can still get authentic Korean products online (at a very reasonable price point) and have them delivered right at my doorstep (free shipping) through Althea.
So after watching a couple of Korean Youtubers, I made a list of Korean beauty products that I would like to try and ordered them through Althea. I placed my order last July 20 and I received my package straight from Korea today. Yey!
