Unboxing My Althea Holiday Box

I found myself watching Legend of the Blue Sea (a Korean Drama Series) after How to Get Away with Murder gone into their season break. I am hooked with its storytelling and fell in love with the characters as well. There's this one episode where a sub character was so curious about the lead actress's beauty secret, which somehow triggers my interest in Korean beauty products.

Living in Makati made me see Koreans daily. Often times, I wonder how most of them keep their skin so perfectly looking good even when they're outside their country. Then I discovered Althea - an online store that offers authentic head to toe Korean skin care products. I got one of their Althea Holiday Boxes with these components. 

Before my lipoma removal, I was really skeptical with all sorts of skin care products. I'm all satisfied with just soap and water. But after having a huge operation scar, I realized the importance of pampering my body. I started really taking good care of my skin. Thus I chose the Althea Body Box

My favorite product is the "Demeter Juicy Oil". It has this cottony fragrance like "My Body Cotton Flower Body Cleanser and Lotion", that sticks with me for a very long time. I never thought oil can be this comfortable to wear. I tried using it before applying my usual makeup and it worked for my skin type. The makeup lasted more than it usually does. The essence absorbed immediately into my skin without this hot and uneasy feeling. It makes applying makeup easy and fast. I consider this the holy grail of the box and my sure go to product when shopping for body care.

The "Body Cotton Flower Body Cleanser and Lotion" have this luxurious cotton fragrance that is not too strong, but lingers in your body enough to make you smell naturally good. I noticed that most of these products are deep cleansing and designed not to just make you smell good, but to also make you feel good.

The "Silky Perfect Foot Peeling" and "Silky Feet" pack is something to look forward too. It's very new to me. It's like a facial mask exfoliating and eradicating dead skin cells for a baby like feet. The box also includes an exclusive discount coupon for your next purchase.

I gave the remaining products as a gift to my sister and friend because who doesn't want to share awesomeness this holiday season right? Spoil yourself and treat your body what it deserves. Check out their website: /http://ph.althea.kr/ and for more updates like their Facebook page.
