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.
COSRX is definitely one of the most hyped kbeauty brands. It's a brand with a huge cult following because apparently their products work really well for a variety of skin issues (acne, anti-aging, blackheads to name a few), without the hefty price tag. This is the main reason while most of their products are almost always out-of-stock on various online sites. One of their most raved product is their One Step Pimple Clear Pad.
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!

I have naturally wavy hair and every once a year, I have my hair rebonded. Believe me, I tried to embrace my natural waves but my curls are just quite tedious to style. Blessed are those girls who always look like they just walked straight out of a salon. Sadly for me, that's not the case. To subdue my buhaghag hair, I need patience, funds and the help of hair professionals.
So it was that time of the year again. Bumalik na ang sumpa! To tame my tresses, my first choice is always steam bonding. I just adore how this transforms my hair without looking broomstick straight. I've done this thrice already; - one was at Bench Fix Glorietta (when it was first launched) and twice at Regine's Salon Makati (via Dealgrocer).
Steam bond is quite pricey that's why I'm always on the look out for deals. I saw one on Dealgrocer and I was thinking of getting that. But when, I learned that Jesi Mendez was having a 50% off promo at their newly opened branch at Trinoma, I scratched that idea of.
