[Althea Exclusives] Althea makeup Box

Althea Korea has recently launched some products under their Althea Exclusive Series. Any beauty product addicts, such as myself, will definitely find them intriguing! I've previously tried their skincare line, but now I shall try their makeup series!

Last month, Althea sent over a generous parcel, their first ever Althea Exclusives Makeup Box Collection!


It came in a Limited Edition Althea box, which had a traditional Hanbok Box Design. I was overjoyed when I opened up my parcel and was greeted by concealers, eye gitters, lip tints, skin relief spot gel and a super pretty eye palette.


For the purpose of this review, I tested the following beauty items from Althea Exclusives’ makeup collection


Without any further ado, let’s kick-off with the gorgeous Sunrise & Moonrise eyes palette. This is Althea's second collaboration with a celebrity, after their December launch, TITI X ALTHEA - Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist. 


The Sunrise & Moonrise Eye Palette is a collaboration between Althea Korea and Bunga Citra Lestari, also known as BCL, who is an Indonesian singer and actress. Inspired by her iconic style and glamor look, they released the 'Sunrise & Moonrise eyes palette (SGD46).



I used #3-Metallic Rose Gold with pink undertones and mixed it with #8-Cool Purple hue which end result gave me a subtle shimmer on my double eye-lids. I then applied the #4-Metallic Gold hue on the upper lid to give an extra booster of shimmer and radiance to my entire eye makeup. 

 

I don’t usually apply glitters on my eyes, but it doesn’t mean I am new to this. The reason I don't use glitters that often is because I've encountered some bad experiences. However, I shall make an exception this time as Althea's Spotlight Eye Glitter (SGD8) looks very pretty! Thankfully I did, as it allowed me to have a new view of eye glitter! If you love glitters, then you'll love you’ll love Althea’s Spotlight Eye Glitter.


It comes in a precise Brush for eyeliner with 2 shades available - Gold Light and Pink Light. As claimed by Althea Korea’s website, it can be used as an eyeshadow too, all thanks to the hydrating formula that glides like butter over the lids and allows for easy blending.


I applied a dab of 'Pink Light' on my lower eyelid to add a subtle touch of shimmer. Do note that the eye glitter dries very quickly to a long-lasting, budge-proof finish, so if you need to, blend it quickly!


Althea's Flawless Creamy Concealer was just that. Flawless! It contains high pigmentation and is an easy to blend concealer that moisturises and effectively helps in concealing imperfections at the same time. It contains Aquaxyl, which creates a moisture barrier on the skin and prevents dehydration. It comes in #01-Vanilla, #02-Ginger, #03-Honey and #04-Mocha.


I used the concealer (#02-Ginger) to conceal my dark circles and dark spots on my face. I was amazed by the results, as it offers great coverage.


Althea Watercolor Cream Tints (SGD7) come in the 4 shades #01-Plum Cream, #02-Strawberry Cream, #03-Peach Cream and #04-Marron Cream. I always go for red and coral shades for lips, but this time, the Marron Cream caught my attention! What I love about these Watercolor Cream Tints is that it is highly pigmented, and they contain hyaluronic acid to prevent chapped lips from flaking. 


I finished off my look with my favorite lip tint (#04-Marron Cream). I applied a thin layer of the product on my bottom lip before spreading it out evenly using a lip brush. It helped to control the amount and intensity of the product used on my lip. I love it very much as the shade was beautiful and enhanced my complexion. It is a long wearing and hydrating lip tint. I love the glossy sheen, and it is super convenient and handy to carry it along it with you wherever you go for an easy touch up! In my own opinion, it is definitely worth every single penny!


These are the products I used to create my look! 


Apart from the makeup collection, Althea Korea also sent a Skin Relief Spot Film Gel (SGD6) for us to apply on zits before any makeup application! If you have acne prone skin, and you are afraid to aggravate your acne during makeup application, then the Skin Relief Spot Film Gel is the answer to your woes! It creates a thin layer of film to heal and soothe acne at the same time.


The transparent pimple gel contains three essential ingredients:

1) Tea Tree Oil - Contains antibacterial properties to treat spots
2) Centella Asiatica Extract - Soothes redness and strengths the skin
3) Pine Leaf Extract - Rich in antioxidants to repair and calm down irritations.



I am totally into the products by Althea Exclusives very much, and I do have a soft spot for them. They are definitely worth a mention.

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder.
