Beauty Haul from Althea Korea

Hey guys, how is week so far? I'm taking a break from all the Colourpop posts to features a new online beauty site. I have been seeing ads from Althea.kr which made me curious about the brand. After a short background check and finding mostly positive feedback, I placed an order with them.

I bought a bunch of sebum- (oil-) control products to use this summer season. The heat is really full going full blast, with temperatures reaching up to 38 degrees Celsius (a little over 100 degrees Fahrenheit). I have adjusted my makeup and skin care routine to suit the hot and humid weather. I'm actually just sticking to a lightweight BB cream, full brows, a bit of blush and some lip balm or sheer lipstick.

First Impressions: Althea offers daily as well as seasonal offers plus (currently) a Php 150 credit upon sign-up and free shipping for purchases Php 1,500 and above. When I placed my order on March 28, there was a 20% discount on Face Products. They shipped it on March 30 and my order was delivered at my doorstep April 4 which I think is relatively fast considering the products come from Korea. Their customer service was also able to respond fast (within 2 hours) when I emailed them about updating my shipping address. Prices are very competitive, reasonable and mostly cheaper than most online sites that I've frequent. They currently have limited products on offer so moving forward, I would like them to expand their selection and sell more Korean beauty cult favorites. Overall, it was a good experience buying from them, and I would not hesitate to purchase from them again. For those on the lookout for affordable Korean beauty products, you can check out Althea Korea. Use code ATAPH200-0681-JZNPP-OUZW for additional Php 50 discount on top of Php 150 sign-up credits.
