There's no stopping Althea Korea from expanding their own skincare and makeup line, and I am nothing but excited to see more from them! They already amazed us with the first wave of their tints, eyeshadow palette, and concealers. And now, they have just launched their very own in-house brand called A'BLOOM.
A'Bloom is visualize as Althea's beauty playground, wherein all the fun, quirky, and fresh k-beauty products can be found. It first kicked off with the cutest (and i bet tastiest, haha!) makeup sponges ever, a much-needed blackhead remover stick, and sweet fruit masks.
I received the items two weeks ago, and here are my thoughts about them (plus some useful info). Are you ready to 'PLAY UP'?
MERINGUE PUFFS
The Product: The first Althea-made beauty tool, that come in two sizes: Giant puff and Baby puffs. Both are made of latex-free and toxic-free materials. Can be used either damp or dry, and expands up to 1.5x in size when wet.
 |
| GIANT PUFF | 100 php |
 |
| BABY PUFFS | 140 php |
The Verdict: Aesthetically speaking, these puffs are one of the most attractive makeup sponges in the market. The appearance and "feel" of the puffs tells me so much of its quality. However, the Giant puff is not that soft even when damp, unlike the Baby puffs. Both expands, or increase in size, but not too much.
As to makeup application: I tried the Giant puff in applying BB cream and foundation and I noticed that it does absorbs a lot of the product (which is common with makeup sponges). Moreover, I find it a little challenging to blend my base using it, though it resulted to a light, dewy finish which I like. Now with the Baby puffs, I adore them so much because they are actually great for blending concealers, and for covering the hard to reach areas (eg. sides of the nose).
I think they are not the best makeup sponges that I've tried so far. But for the price point, quality and safety, I will highly suggest that you pick these cute puffs over the regular ones.
FRUIT MASK SHEETS
The Product: Comes in four variants, each contains natural fruit extract along with some skin-loving ingredients. These masks aim to address the common skin dilemmas: dullness, uneven skin tone, blemishes, and aging. Each mask boasts a whole bottle of essence in it (25 g), that is highly concentrated.
The tencel sheets are eco-friendly, and are made using 100% Eucalyptus tree; No formaldehyde, no heavy metal, and no optical whiteners. Moreover, these masks has a slightly acidic pH balance, which aim to rebalance the pH level of the skin after washing.
 |
| 20 php. Contains lemon, lime and green tea extracts |
 |
| 20 php | contains watermelon and lavender extract |
 |
| 20 php | contains peach and tea tree extracts |
 |
| 20 php | contains avocado and hibiscus extracts |
The Verdict: I love sheet masks and I've tried a lot of different brands for the past years. But these fruit masks are my new favorites! They are very affordable to begin with, but most importantly, they actually work on my skin. Too bad that they are currently sold out on Althea's website, because I've consumed all four (plus the second batch that I ordered) already.
The good stuff that I like about these masks are: (1) the sheet is so thin, and has several cuts on it; making it very easy for me to adjust/lay on my face. (2) the "juice" or essence is overflowing; meaning I get so much product in just one sheet mask, that I can even cover my neck! (3) each has its own main ingredient that literally addresses my skin's needs at a particular moment. Overall, they are super worth it, and one of the cutest masks ever!
BHA BLACKHEAD BLASTER
 |
| 200 php | contains white willow, charcoal, apricot seeds, and tea tree leaf extracts |
The Product: A natural BHA stick that promises no pain removal of blackheads and whiteheads. It deeply cleanses and and prevents future formation of comedones.
The Verdict: It is actually my first time to try this kind of product, but i'm expecting a lot since I would want to replace my painful nose strips. I used it only on my nose and noticed improvements after a couple of days. Yup, the result is not instant tho, but it does help in gently removing blackheads. Just don't expect your pores to be squeaky clean on the first wash.
I like that it contains BHA, since I'm a fan of this amazing ingredient for gentle exfoliation. Plus, it also contains some pore-friendly ingredients too.
I hope you could visit the following links so you can get to know these products better. Althea Korea is very responsible in keeping their "angels" informed about their products. So go check them out!

Alright! So that's all for now, we just have to wait for more products to come out, and I'm sure they'll be cute and fun to use as well :)
