You know how special birthdays are, and we got so excited AF and a simple celebration is a no-no no!
It’s the time of the year, out of 365-days, and for only one day you’ve got to celebrate your own day, and that’s awesome, right?!
So this month I would be celebrating another birthday (but not my real birthday – it will be on December so stay tuned) but with my favorite brand that I’ve been supporting since my first successful shopping experience.
Time flies soo fast AF and I didn’t notice – ALTHEA KOREA is already celebrating its 2-years in the beauty business!
And I can’t help thinking about how much ALTHEA KOREA helped to change some part of my vanity life, and I realized it will be more different (not as good as now!).
You know sometimes you got a bit doubtful about new things, and you won’t prove it not until you’ve tried it. And yes, at first I had a few doubts about shopping at ALTHEA KOREA.
During its first months in business, they are been raving AF by many fans in Malaysia and Singapore and even here in the Philippines. I love Korean cosmetics and skincare because it suits my skin and lifestyle needs and honestly it is hard to source them directly from Korea. Although there are many Korean beauty stores available here in the Philippines, both online and brick-and-mortar I still find it a bit expensive.
Well, my shopping motto is – shop where you can spend less.
So back in October 2016 when I had my first haul of skincare (but honestly still having a little doubt while I hit the checkout button) it was my trial-and-test purchase where I only spend Php1,070.
Then I thought, “okay let’s do this and wait what will happen.”
After 8-days, my guard buzzed in and says “Ms. Blair, you’ve got mail! It’s a huge PINK BOX!”
My heart started to palpitate AF believe me.
I’ve slowly unwrapped the pink wrapper (so gorgeous I admit!) and removed its bubble wrapped (totally well packaged) and when I opened my box, magical things happen…
I’ve got what I’ve ordered, all in perfect condition just like what they promised!
OMFG 50x
For that moment, I knew I found a beauty eCommerce store that I will love and relied on (gosh am starting to feel emotional while writing this post!)
It was like love at first sight – promised delivered, in the sweetest way they could.
OMFG 100x
I wouldn’t be raving about this if I remain doubtful to try their services.
And now, being one of the hundreds of thousands of customers, happily celebrating its second year anniversary! ALTHEA Korea has fulfilled that gap in the beauty industry here in Asia – that longing feeling of love for Korean cosmetics and skincare are being fulfilled truthfully, and unconditionally (because you can return your purchases when you are not satisfied!).
This month as ALTHEA KOREA is celebrating its #AltheaTurns2 they have curate exciting surprises and contest giveaways for all their fans and all customers, and including you!
I’ve brought my ALTHEA BOX purchase at White Hat with my bestie Lexa to celebrate its birthday bash! LOL. She is not yet an ALTHEA customer, so I asked her around for my shoot and show her my purchases, because just like me previously – she still has doubts.
White at White Hat enjoying our fruity yogurts and strawberry waffles, we’ve created this DIY ALTHEA cake box like we were in preschool, and it was fun! We get crafty and it was one of those great bonding that we have (we missed our friend Shi, who is now in Singapore enjoying her new life with the Merlion, lol).
She also happily partakes on my shoot after we created this lovely birthday box (we’ve added some flowers!). After the shoot, I finally unveiled it to her the contents and she got so effin excited!
I know she will love it, and started begging me for my ALTHEA Code (yeah, when you subscribe to ALTHEA you will get an ATHEA Code that you can use to invite your friends to shop – your friend will get discounts, and so does you!)
I’ve discussed to her how to shop using the ALTHEA Korea app, and she is totally into it. Now I didn’t ask her what she purchased because….. I know SHE WILL GET A HAUL BIGGER THAN MINE!
We are a true Shopaholic and our sister Rebecca Bloomwood would be totally happy for us, LOL

ReplyDeleteYup! Try to haul too!
DeleteSo many products you got here! I want to try the Holika Holika wine therapy mask!
ReplyDeleteI will make a review for that, I'm excited!

ReplyDeleteI wonder if Sephora is also generous with freebies?
DeleteAwww this is so cute and looks like such a fun birthday! All those goodies look awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nicole for visiting my blog :)
