I got this as a gift from my aunt, and I was actually quite excited to try this product out because I've been seeing how many bloggers raved about this product but unfortunately, it isn't Elizavecca's which my aunt got it as well but I, myself picked this instead. 


The description of the product is in Korean and Mandarin, it's stated at the back of the box that this mask has the ability to moisturize, brighten, tighten pores, repair and firm the skin. Which is exactly the same as Elizavecca Green Piggy Collagen Jella Pack. For its price, I really doubt that this mask has the ability to even reduce wrinkles (which it claimed it can on the description) on the face. I've used this mask three times and all I found is that this mask only helps to moisturize the face, that's it. Nothing more.

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

Purpose: 5 in 1; Moisturizes, brightens, tightens pores, reduces wrinkles and firms the skin
Price: 128 HKD  59 HKD

PROS:
  • Moisturizes skin
  • Nice scent
  • Affordable 
  • A pea-size amount is enough for the entire face

CONS:
  • Not available in many stores

RATING:

OVERALL:
Would I repurchase this item? Probably not, because I'm a lazy person, plus it'll take me a long time to finish using this mask as a pea-size amount is all it needs for each use. It's not expensive and it does give me glowy dewy skin, but again, I'm not the type that likes to have something on my face overnight because I'm a crazy sleeper which might result in having the mask on my pillow or anywhere on my bed, but so far... There's no such problem. I definitely recommend this mask to people with dull or dry skin because this is like the inexpensive version of Laneige Sleeping Mask and does give your face that extra boost you need. Plus, I got mine when it was on sale, which only cost only 59HKD, how cheap!

I'll be going for a trip to Rawa Island for 3 days tomorrow, so I thought I'd share what I've packed in my bag for this trip.  

  • Innisfree Natural Deo Powder Tissue
  • Laneige Water Bank Essence
  • Laneige Lip & Eye Remover Waterproof
  • Laneige Fresh Brightening Cleansing Oil
  • Banila co. It Radiant CC Cream
  • Melvita Organic Rose Beauty Mist
  • Laneige BB Cushion
  • Candy Doll Cheek Colour Duo
  • 3CE Mini Blush Brush
Since it's only a few days, I figured that I should just bring as little things as possible to make myself easier. I'm absolutely loving the Innisfree deodorant tissues, it smells exactly the same as one of those baby wipes, and after using it,  I don't sweat that easily. This is the one thing that I bring with me all the time, especially now that the weather is so freakishly hot. 

I don't know about you guys, but I always have a book with me whenever I go (Depends on what bag I'm using on that day because sometimes, my bag is too small to even fit a book). Since I'll be going to an island, I thought maybe the WiFi signal wouldn't be strong enough for me to even watch a video so I didn't bother to carry my laptop with me. As for my phone, yes, it's an iPhone 4S, I don't really use my phone other than using it to listen to music so... I didn't bother to get myself a new phone. Also, my DSLR camera, which is not in the photo because I was using it to take this photo.

  • Dorama-Neo Sterile Eye Drops
  • Travel Size Perfume (Forgot its brand name)
  • Hair Scrunchy
  • Supplements
Hair scrunchy is a must for any girl with long hair though mine is kind of short since I cut off 3 inches of my hair that's damaged. Another 2 inches to go and I'm free from damaged hair. 

That's all that I'm having in my bag (so far) and hopefully, I'm not missing anything important.

  1. Nature Republic Skin Smoothing 3 Step Nose Pack Sheet

  5. Petitfee Gold & EGF Eye & Spot Patch
Korean skin care and cosmetics are the "thing" that has been going around for some time now, and you can see countless of Korean cosmetic/ skin care stores in Malaysia but unfortunately, the price got marked up twice when it's being sold in a physical store. I found out about this online store through my cousin and while I was browsing the site, like a million times because I doubt the authenticity of the product, I've finally came to the decision of getting a few items to test it out.


PRICING:

In the very beginning, after seeing the price of the items sold in the site, I doubt its authenticity, but again, I knew the price of those products aren't the same as it is that's being sold in the stores in Malaysia. Besides, the creator of this online store had stated that his purpose of opening this online beauty store is to make k-beauty products more accessible to those who live outside of Korea. Oh! And there's the ACTIVE DEAL section, where deals such as; buy 1 free 1 or price reduction on certain items.

PACKAGING:



When I received the parcel, it's wrapped in a pink plastic envelope bag, which got dirtied. I was expecting it to be nice and clean, but... I guess as long as the things inside of the box is fine, I'm good. Once I open it up, I see the light pink box being wrapped with a piece of bubble wrap. All the items inside the box were wrapped with bubble wrap as well and beneath those products was filled with small pieces of pink tracing paper.

SHIPPING + DELIVERY

The cost of the shipping depends on the weight of the parcel, but while I was browsing on the online store, there's a promotion going on, by spending RM150 or above there'll be free shipping and I thought, why not, I might as well buy that much and get free shipping rather than paying that extra for nothing, but shipping itself. Tracking number was also provided to check the status (which is quite in detail) instead of checking the order status on the site that just says "processing/ delivered", which is another plus 1 for me.

RATING:

Will I be buying from Althea again? Definitely! The only downside of it is that there's not much variety of products, but since Althea is fairly new, I guess I could expect seeing more new items being available in the near future? Will be keeping my fingers crossed.

The one thing that I'm really curious about is that when the package was its way to my house, will it be exposed to heat? Because, after all it's cosmetic/ skin care we're buying and it could affect the products if it's exposed to heat.
