Heya ladies! I am pretty sure you already noticed how absolutely cute this collection is. A'bloom by Althea is the newest addition to Althea Korea's product line. This time they focused on having a smooth, clean and well hydrated skin before laying down any foundation.

This is how I would use all three products:
So, after I have cleansed my face, I'd start with the BHA Blackhead Blaster, then rinse it off. After rinsing, I'd apply the fruit sheet mask and leave it on for about 10 to 20 minutes, then let it get absorb on my skin. Finally, I would then apply my foundation using the Giant Meringue Puff to get that smooth and flawless base.


I'd like to start off with the A'bloom Giant Meringue Puff and Baby Meringue Puffs. These are just the cutest beauty sponge I have ever used. These are not just cute, they work really well too!




The A'bloom Baby Meringue Puffs comes in threes and are perfect for smaller areas.

What I like about it...
* very affordable at only Php100 for the giant puff and Php140 for baby puffs
* it is softest and fluffiest blender I have ever used
* can be used dry for a matte finish and wet for a glossy finish
* expands up to 1.5 times larger when wet
* the wide base helps with faster application
* blends any foundation evenly
* easy to clean with just any cleansing foam
* made from Latex Free foam and high density Non-Toxic material

What I don't like...
* I honestly can't think of any, these puff are just awesome!

My rating: 5 out of 5


Up next is the A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster. It is an easy and quick triple treatment for blackheads, whiteheads and dead skin for daily care. It contains natural ingredients to help gently deep cleanse the pores and removing dead skin cells.


Ingredients and benefits
- Natural BHA ingredient helps to deep pore cleanse by exfoliating the dead skin cells.
- Apricot seed powder helps to remove excessive sebum.
- Charcoal will absorb the dirt in the pores.
- Tea tree leaf oil helps to soothe as well as prevent any redness and irritations on the skin

30 seconds. After that, rinse off with water.

Note: For more effective cleansing, place a warm towel on to the skin before use to open up pores.


What I like about it...
* very affordable at only Php200
* convenient and handy stick type packaging
* no pain blackhead and whitehead removal
* has a gentle and non-irritating formula
* did NOT experience any irritation, stinging or allergies

Althea Korea now has a Makeup line! It was released early this year so I have been testing it out for a few weeks now. I was lucky enough to have received the exclusive Althea Makeup Box.

The Makeup Box came with the following:
Flawless Creamy Concealer with 4 shades
Watercolor Cream Tints with 4 shades
Spotlight Eye Glitter wth 2 shades
BCL X Althea Sunrise and Moonrise Eyeshadow Palette with 8 shades


To start with, here is their Flawless Creamy Concealer. It retails for only Php 200 each.
This concealer features:

Multi-layer Moisture Retention
With a moisturizing formula. It keeps the skin feeling plump and hydrated while providing the complexion with a fresh, semi-matte finish.

Skin Enhancing Formula
The concealers are buildable and have a long-wearing, all-day formula that doesn't oxidize. It also smoothens unevenness of the skin to give a perfected look.


I liked using the concealer on my undereye area and for brightening certain areas of my face. It works really well for that purpose, but it lacks coverage if you are wanting to conceal spots and blemishes.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5


Another product from the Makeup line is the Althea Watercolor Cream Tint.
They released 4 shades:
- 01 Plum Cream
- 02 Strawberry Cream
- 03 Peach Cream
- 04 Marron Cream


All colors are wearable and it is something you can easily mix together. Formulated with both water and oil, this emulsion type consists of 40% hydrating solution.


1. Pigmented on the lips as in the bottle
2. Glides easily onto the lips without a sticky, heavy feel
3. Strong hydrating effect
4. Invigorates the senses with a happy, sweet fruit scent

To put it simply, the Watercolor Cream Tint has the pigmentation of a lipstick, long-wearing power of a stain and moisturizing formula of a gloss.

My rating: 4 out of 5


Up next is their Sunrise and Moonrise Eye Palette in collaboration with Indonesian singer and actress, Bunga Citra Lestari. It retails for Php 1,780.

The BCL X ALTHEA Sunrise and Moonrise Eyeshadow Palette has 8 expertly chosen shades inspired by 2 of BCL's most prominent looks: A fresh look perfect for everyday, and a glamorous look perfect for the stage.


- You can create your own look with various textures such as pearl, glitter and matte finishes
- it has a long-wearing formula that is smooth and blends easily onto the lids
- it has excellent pigmentation which you can apply either dry or wet
- the color selection is something that you can wear alone for that one eye shadow look

There's a little fall out but nothing extreme. I just wished they could have made the formula a bit more buttery. I'd also like to note that the palette has a large mirror which is very handy.

You might not like the shade selection if you prefer using neutral eye palettes.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5


Lastly, here is the Althea Spotlight Eye Glitter. It comes in two shades: Gold Light and Pink Light and retails for Php 300 each

The formula is made with a moisturizing gel that creates a film for longer wear, preventing smudging caused by sweat or water. Just make sure to let it dry for about 5 seconds after you apply on the lids.


It also has a slim applicator that allows for precise and even application. It can be used as an eyeliner, eye shadow or glittery eye topper.

My rating: 4 out of 5


I did a quick tutorial using everything from the Althea Makeup line, including the Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway Sunscreen and the Althea Petal Velvet Powder.


For the Concealer, I used Honey for my undereye area and Mocha to cover dark spots and blemishes.
For the lips, I used 01 Plum Cream
For the cheeks, I used 04 Marron Cream
For the eyes, I used shades 1,2,5 and 6
I also used shade 1 in the eye palette as highlight

Overall I'd say that Althea really did an awesome job with their formulation and shade selection for all the makeup products! Everything is absolutely affordable and skin friendly.

You can check out the Althea Korea Exclusives HERE.

For a limited time, you can get the Petal Velvet Powder Free with purchase of any Althea Exclusives Product! Just add all items to cart and discount will be shown automatically.

Until next time.

My Rating: 5 out of 5

This is the first time I've used a serum and cleanser in one! so I was really curious as to how this would work on me.  So, I started using this on the first week of January and have continuously used it for almost a month now.

I can honestly say, that this is by far one of the best skincare product Althea Korea has come up with. Seriously, this stuff does the job and definitely does what it claims to do. I love using this on mornings since it is so mild and hydrating. When I wear light makeup, I enjoy using this as a makeup remover by massaging it all over my face, then doing a second cleanse with a foam cleanser.

To put it simply, this is a multi-tasking hydrating pore cleanser and definitely #hollierecommended.

Heya ladies! I'm back with a juicy news. I recently got the chance to try out the Dear Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop... I bet some of you have already read and heard terrific reviews about this serum. But what is it, exactly?

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5

I used this daily for about two weeks and I am honestly impressed with this serum. It really works! I had a couple of pimple marks on my forehead and chin area and I saw it visibly lighten within just one week of use!
 

I'd also like to say I am really pleased with the formulation. It is gentle enough that I almost don't feel like I've applied anything on my face.  I did not experience any stinging or irritation as well. The consistency can be compared to a thin yet watery oil that is unscented. It easily gets absorbed on my skin in just a matter of seconds. So, it does not feel greasy at all.

It is safe to say that this is the perfect product for brightening and evening out skin tone and for treating hyperpigmentation. It really did an awesome job of lightening my dark spots and pimple scars. The photo says it all. Definitely #hollierecommended !

Until next time.

Yes ladies, you read that right! I haven't posted a haul in a really long time so I got really excited to share with you my Korean Skincare Haul!

I have been obsessed with trying out different Korean Skin Care products from the most popular brands recently. So, I got a little too excited when I found an online shop for all things K-beauty that is locally based here in Cebu City.

You can find them online at https://gobloomandglow.com/ and they also have actual stalls at the Emporium located in V. Rama and the one in Norkis Cyber Park. They also have a stall at the Concept Cove located in Redemptorist Plaza here in Cebu City.


So on to my haul! I got several Hello Skin Jumiso sheet masks. I just thought their lady drawings are too cute to ignore and I'm so happy I did. These masks are wonderful and they work really well. Plus you will have an idea when to use the masks because of their drawings. LOL

Next are probably the best sellers online. I repurchased the Heimish All Clean Balm. It's my favorite makeup remover to date. It removes absolutely all makeup including the most stubborn waterproof makeup I have in my stash. And I like that I can simply transfer the balm into a tiny pot when I bring this with me on my travels.

Then I also got the Klairs Supple Preparation Toner, which is perfect for mornings since it is really very mild and hydrating. I would highly recommend this for those with sensitive skin as well. I got the small size bottle since I will be bringing this for travel as well.

And I got another toner which is the COSRX Two in One Poreless Power Liquid. I haven't used this toner yet but I've read awesome reviews for this product. So, I'll use this next when I run out of my current toner.


I also got the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch and the COSRX Clear Fit Master Patch. The difference between the two is that, the red patch can be left overnight over my pimple bumps. While the black patch are so much thinner and clearer so I can wear it out during daytime.


Lastly, I got the COSRX Blackhead Remover Mr. Rx Kit for my nose.

Overall, I'm quite happy with the shop's service and they shipped out my items right away. I got my package the next day.

Find them on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/gobloomandglow/ and

Until next time.

Hey ladies! I've missed you. I hope you still keep reading my posts. Anyway, I've got another exciting new product for you all. Get It Beauty, Korea’s no. 1 beauty TV show, has recently collaborated with Althea Korea for this new product.

To make a healthy beauty life, Get It Beauty creates a new beauty ritual with Althea. Created to suit the hectic schedules of modern urbanites, this product harnesses the goodness of nature and translates into freshness and vitality for the skin.

The Althea x Get It Beauty REAL FRESH SKIN DETOXER is essentialy a daily 10-second wash off mask that you can use day and night.


It comes in two variants.

Real Fresh Skin Detoxer in ROSE: for Refining
A rose-infused facial mask that would suit your morning routine to strip away dirt accumulated overnight to reveal a healthy glowing skin.

In the morning after you wake up, this product helps to protect and balance the pH levels of the skin, evening out the skin's texture for perfect makeup application.

Real Fresh Skin Detoxer in GREEN TEA: for Purifying
Infused with purifying green tea extract, it helps to soothe and refresh tired skin after a long day outdoors.

At 10 pm, the time skin cell regeneration is most active, the product boosts the skin's natural regeneration process by ensuring the skin is purified and ready to rest.

I posted a first impressions video on my Facebook page, you can check out on the link below.



How To Use It:
Treat it like a gentle mask pack for your skin. It's super simple!
1. Strip off any makeup left and let your skin dry.
2. Apply a generous layer of the Real Fresh Skin Detoxer to your face and let it sit for 10 seconds.
3. Wet your palms and gently massage your face. The water from your palms will mix with the product and cause it to bubble up a little like a facial cleanser.
4. Rinse it off with water before completing the rest of your skincare routine.



Overall, both products are really good and mild enough for daily use. The Rose variant is perfect for mornings, since it feels so much milder and feels more hydrating. This is actually the first rose scented product that I actually liked. It smells really good too. 

You can get the Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Set at the Althea website HERE.

The Green Tea variant, is intended for night use since it works more like a deep cleanser. After a long day's work, it makes my skin feel squeaky clean yet doesn't leave my skin feeling dry. Also, I noticed that this one bubbles up more compared to the rose variant.

It's been a successful collaboration with Get It Beauty! And did you know that K-pop star Jeonghwa from the group EXID is also a fan of the product? Check out the video below!


Enjoy ladies!

Until next time.

I am truly excited to share with you all that Rivecowe is now available in Cebu. You read that right, Rivecowe is a Korean Cosmetics brand specializing in Good Base Make Up. As per the official Korean distributor here in PH, it is Pronounced as "Rive-koi".

What sets them apart from the rest of the K-Beauty brands is that they use 8 special herbs in all of their products. Here's a list of all eight herbs and what they use it for.

Lavender : Anti-Inflammatory
Rosemary : Prevents aging, Anti-Bacterial
Thyme : Antiseptics
Mint : Anti-Inflammatory, Refreshingness
Borage : Anti - Inflammatory
Sage : Whitening, Sterilizing
Jasmine :  Improve Skin Elasticity
Chamomile :  Moisture, Antiseptics


They had a workshop here in Cebu last November and I got the chance to learn more about their product and was lucky enough to try some. Here are some of the products I tried.


Bubble Mask Pack - This is the first time I've used a mask intended for deep cleansing. It's really fun to use. You just apply it like you would using a normal sheet mask. After a few seconds, it starts bubbling up making my face tickle. I really like that it removes makeup residue then leaves my face feeling very hydrated and moisturized at the same time.


Chiffon Lipstick - I think the name is really fitting for this product. I got the shade No. 6 which I would describe as a peachy nude brown color. It reminds me of my Mac Lipstick in Mocha. The lipstick is highly pigmented, applies smoothly, feels lightweight and gives a velvety finish. It does not have any weird or strong scent as well, which is a plus for me. It's stays for a decent couple of hours on my lips until I eat or drink.


Flexible Liquid Brush Pen  Eyeliner - This has got to be my favorite liquid eyeliner to date. I really like the brush pen applicator of this eyeliner as it allows me to create thin and thick lines. It's very black, glides on nicely and stays all day. It is waterproof. Fade, melt, crack-resistant.


Correction Convenient Cream ( CC Cream) - This is formulated for Normal Skin. It claims to improve skin texture and give a finished makeup effect. It is for whitening, anti-wrinkle and has SPF 43 PA+++ .  I have used this as base, it does a great job of giving me that dewy healthy looking skin. However, I still prefer to set this with a translucent powder to minimize the shine on my T-Zone.

Overall they offer really high quality products for an affordable price.

You can visit them on Facebook Rivecowe PH Official
and their Official Website https://rivecowe.com.ph/
and get to know more about their products and prices.

Until next time.

Yes, I got another Althea Box. If you ladies aren't aware. My favorite shop for all things Korean Beauty, Althea Korea occasionally releases various themed beauty boxes.

This time I got the Althea Beauty Lifeguard Box. It is a beauty box curated especially for the summer to Keep your makeup on through all the Splashing, hot fun!

Whats inside the Althea Beauty Lifeguard Box ?


Tony Moly BCDATION OiOi Waterproof Cushion in 02 Warm Beige.  It is a waterproof cushion that has SPF 50+ PA+++ for Suncare, Anti-Aging, and Skin Brightening at the same time.

It claims to provide great coverage that adheres to skin all day. Also, contains sebum controlling powder to keep you oil-free.

I have been testing out everything in the box for the past week and I must say I'm really impressed with this cushion. I have combination skin with oily T-Zone and so far this is the longest lasting cushion I've tried.

What I like about it...
- long lasting, it lasts about 6 hours on me before it starts to fade
- gives out a semi-matte finish, which makes my skin look really smooth
- has awesome medium to full coverage, since it easily covers my blemishes
- I can honestly say that this is waterproof, since I did sweat a lot when I was running errands and this cushion, really behaved and didn't make me look greasy
- did not experience any allergies or irritation, when wearing this consecutively for 5 days

What I don't like...
- like all other Korean cushions this is one shade lighter on me. I think Warm Beige is the darkest one they have. So, I just thin this out when applying. It eventually blends in my skin tone after an hour or so.

My rating: 4 out of 5


VDL Expert Color Primer for Eyes in Serenity.  This eye primer is meant to correct any redness on the lids for a flawless canvas. It locks the eye shadows without needing to apply excess product or pressure and allows the eye shadows to show up vividly onto the lids.

So far, it really stayed true to it's claims. It works the way it is described. It made my eyeshadow look more vivid, did not crease and definitely stayed all day. The packaging is sturdy and really reminds me of the lip gloss packing for my Laura Mercier Lip Glace.

My rating: 4 out of 5


Milky Dress Barbie Make Mascara. Is an all-in-one mascara that claims to provides curling, volume and long lashes. It comes with a very pretty rose gold packaging that is lightweight. The applicator comes in a semi-elliptical brush, a C-Curl a brush the offers perfect curl and volume for eyelashes.

What I like about it...
- very affordable mascara that works
- pretty rose gold packaging
- love the thin curved applicator, which makes it easier for me to start on the roots of my lashes
- long-lasting, smudge-proof and does not flake
- definitely holds up a curl and gives excellent length and volume
- very easy to remove even with a cleansing water
- does not have a strong chemically scent

What I don't like...
- can be a bit clumpy and does not layer well. I would recommend this to those who have very sparse and short lashes since it really lifts the lashes well.

My rating: 3 out of 5


Wangskin Lip Tattoo Tint Pack in Pink.  Claims to keep your lips looking juicy and tinted all day. Best used when lips are looking too pale, lips need a moisture boost and when you need a long-lasting lip colour.

This product is actually very straight forward. You apply and leave it on your lips for about 15 minutes depending on how much you want for your lip color to look deeper. The consistency feels very similar to a normal glue, only thinner.

I used this twice already. I left it to dry for about 15 minutes on my lips then peeled it off. I was left with a beautiful pink tint and it definitely lasted all day. It did not even come off while I was eating or drinking and did not transfer onto my glass as well.

It does not leave my lips feeling dry but does not feel like it's giving my lips moisture either. Also, this did not sting my lips, which I'm very happy about. I like that it came with a squeeze type tube since I find that more hygienic.

My rating: 4 out of 5


What I like about it...
- it stayed true to its claims
- the sprayer gives off a really fine mist, making it easier to apply all over the face
- if used as a primer, it helps me apply my foundation smoothly
- does not feel sticky at all
- when I used it as a setting spray, it definitely helped my makeup last longer.
My makeup just stayed in place all day with no smudging even when I was already sweating.
- has a very mild fresh scent
- did not experience any allergies or irritation

What I don't like...
- can't think of any
