I discovered Korean skincare and beauty products through a friend way back 2012. When I ran out of my MAC Fix Studio, and wanted to try something new. Through a friend's recommendation, I bought my first Korean face powder foundation Skinfood Red Ginseng at Skin Food SM North. I heard a lot about the benefit of Ginseng and its promise of brightening skin. I bought 2 compacts and finished them within 1 year and a half. When I came back to buy another compact, Skinfood ran out of stock and eventually stopped distributing it after following it up for a year. My dilemma was how and where to purchase online, it was never cheap to buy Korean products online then.
Fast forward to 2015, I received an email from Althea Korea asking if I would like to try out their Korean Beauty Products and I said yes right away. I purchased some beauty facial masks, Missha Time Revolution and underarm cleansing pads. The transaction was fast and package was adorable with its pink box. I was happy with my purchases. I blogged it here http://lemongreenteaph.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-top-5-k-beauty-products-to-watch.html
Last July 2016, Althea Korea celebrate their first year anniversary with lots of freebies and a contest that would let you win amazing prizes such as Macbook Air, Ipad Air 2, iPhone 6S, Galaxy S6 Edge, Canon EOS M10 Selfie Camera, Althea credits and beauty hampers from Althea!
I received my Althea birthday box together with my favorite Korean beauty skincare Laneige water sleeping mask, Nine Point hand and nail cream and Big Marker Witch's Pouch Skinny Brush Big Marker! The shade I got is Big Black.
It comes with a free Innisfree cleansing sachet. I instagrammed it here https://www.instagram.com/p/BIU6byBAWa6/?taken-by=jlougar
These are my Korean skincare loot from Althea PH 1st year anniversary last July. It consists of the following;

Laneige water sleeping mask |
Upon applying at night the mask gives the skin a lively, well-rested appearance the next morning because of its Sleep-tox purifying effect. Will use this soon and write a review after.
