Do you need Korean beauty and skin care products?!
My question sounds about right. Do you need to satisfy your K-beauty cravings?
Well, Althea Korea is the perfect online shop for you. Aside from the hassle free transaction, I would commend their prompt customer service.
Months ago, I badly wanted to get myself the what they call the “most painful” peeling mask ever or the Milky Piggy Hell-Pore Clean Up Mask by Elizavecca. The most painful peel off products that I’ve tried so far are from Biore and Cathy Doll. I hate the pain while peeling them off. (I always end up with teary eyes.) But, seriously, I love how my face feels so incredibly clean and fresh afterwards.
I thought, maybe the Hell-Pore will hurt a lot more than what I’ve tried before but will make my face clean AF. So I searched for the Hell-Pore in different multi-brand lifestyle stores but I failed. I did saw a number of Korean stores on Instagram and Shoppee that sell it but I wanted to make sure that I get a legit(imate) one.
So I opened a new tab on Chrome and googled where I can get one here in Manila. I ended up clicking the link going to the website of Althea Korea because I heard of that site before. I got that feeling that if I get it from Althea, then the product would be genuine and not fake.
I registered to make an Althea account. I found out that I can get a free shipping if I buy above nine hundred ninety nine pesos (Php 999.00) worth of products so I looked around Althea to check out stuff I might need (or want) to try. Hehe. After a while, I bumped into The First Treatment Essence Intensive Moist (2016 NEW) by Missha which was at 32% off. Alam na this! I wanted to get dupe(s) of the SK II Facial Treatment Essence for the longest time (w'all know SK II is hell expensive). I put the Missha FTE in my cart together with the Hell-Pore and clicked “Check Out”.
I originally put my residence address for the delivery but then I realized that there will be no one at home to receive them. After I got the email confirming my order, I immediately sent a message to the Customer Service asking to deliver the items to my work address instead. After a couple of hours, I got a confirmation email of my change of address.
They said that I advised me that I will be getting my items after fifteen (15) days from the day of order confirmation. But then I got my stuff only after twelve (12) days. I was so happy that I got the items early. I did not have to worry whether they will be coming or not.
True enough, Althea is a hassle-free and legitimate online store. I strongly recommend it to all Korean beauty lovers out there.
Below are the stuff I got from Althea. I’m so happy I decided to buy from Althea, seriously.
I will do a review on these products soon. I am still trying them out. Give me a month or two please. *wink*
