My Althea Korea birthday haul

I turned 27 a few weeks ago and though I did not celebrate it, I am just really thankful for all the blessings that I have been receiving these past months. And speaking of blessings, I was so happy to have received the best birthday gift so far. You all know that I am part of the Althea Angels Community and one of the perks they give is birthday credits. YESSSSSSS! The K-beauty loyalist in me was so excited to shop for my holy grail products and try new ones. I was able to buy quite a lot so let me share to you my Althea Korea birthday haul.




A'Bloom Sheet Masks - Php 180 (10 sheets)
I reviewed these A'Bloom Sheet Masks before they were officially launched and I had mixed feelings about them at first. When I saw that Althea Korea had this promo where you can get 10 masks for only Php 180, I immediately grabbed the opportunity and thought of giving these masks a second chance. I bought the three variants—Watermelon, Peach, and Lemon—so that's a total of 30 masks! Don't judge, I had to stock up on sheet masks, y'all! Haha. And to be honest? I actually love these masks! Better the second time around, no?



Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam - Php 330
If you read my morning skincare routine post, you would know how much of an Innisfree fan I am. I use the Innisfree Green Tea Foam Cleanser during the day and I use this Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam at night. I love Innisfree's cleansers so much because they're really gentle and their cleansing powers are amazing and are not drying. I don't think I will ever replace them.



Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence - Php 920
This one's a first for me because I have really been curious about this product. I currently have the Cosrx Poreless Power Liquid and the Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid and these are in my HG list, so I thought, why not try this highly-raved snail essence. I use this during the day and apply this after my toner. I only use two pumps, rub it lightly between my palms, and lightly massage it all over my face. It looks thick and sticky but when applied on the face, it's actually really light and gets quickly absorbed into my skin. When I started using this, the dry patches in my face lessened so I'm really glad I bought this. No regrets.



Dear, Klairs Supple Preparation Facial Toner - Php 1150
Dear, Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum - Php 1200
I also shared these two products in my morning skincare routine post and words are not enough to express how much I love these both. I only use these products during the day since I use a different set at night. The moisturizing powers of these two are amazing combined with the other products that I use. And yes, Innisfree's rival in my heart is Dear, Klairs. LOL.



Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop - Php 1560
Dear, Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drop - Php 1200
Still from Dear, Klairs, these two are my HG nighttime serums. I use them alternately since I pair the Youth Activating Drop with the BHA Blackhead Power Liquid. The Vitamin C Drop is very effective in lightening my acne scars. I have been using this for more than a year already and though I have not yet achieved a 100% even skin tone, this serum has greatly helped in improving my complexion. The Youth Activating Drop, on the other hand, has been a staple in my nighttime routine since December last year. I got really curious and eventually, got hooked. My face just feels soft and smooth after I apply this and though this is the only anti-aging product that I have, I think it's doing a pretty great job. What do you think? Haha.



Althea Korea Watercolor Cream Tint - Php 260
The only makeup items in my haul are these watercolor cream tints from Althea Korea's own brand. I've seen and read a lot about these tints and considering I'm a tint hoarder, I knew I just had to give in to the temptation. Haha. These tints have four shades but I only bought two that I believe would suit me well. I can't pick a favorite from these two because I equally love them. I use them alternately since my daily kikay kit is really cute so I have to bring just one. What I love about these tints is they surprisingly last longer than the tints I currently have. I drink a loooot of water and though it eventually rubs off, I love how it gives me natural-looking tinted lips.

What do you think of my birthday haul? Have you tried any of these products too? And do you want me to share my nighttime skincare routine too? Let me know by saying YES in the comments section below!

Thank you so much, Althea Korea, for being so generous with the birthday credits! Definitely the best birthday gift I have received so far!
