Guess what, guys? My favourite K-beauty online shopping platform, Althea Korea has recently launched some new products, and this time around, it’s some skincare items and some makeup sponge.

Althea A’Bloom sheet masks, Giant Meringue Puff and Baby Meringue Puff and Althea A’Bloom  BHA Blackhead Blaster. First glance at these skincare items made me squeal like an excited teenager. The packaging is so cute and eye-catchy with happy summer vibe, making me feel like using these for my skincare routine will be fun instead of just a chore.

So, let’s get down to business. Are they as fun to use as they look? Let me share with you what I think about them:

Althea A’Bloom sheet masks

Althea A’Bloom sheet masks have 4 fruits inspired sheet masks with cute illustrations on their packaging with witty names.

Water-Me-Long Moisturizing Watermelon Mask Sheet

Avo-Cuddle-Me Nourishing Avocado Mask Sheet 

Sparkle-Me-Bright Brightening Lemon Lime Mask Sheet

AC-Me-Peach Anti Blemish Peach Mask Sheet 

I’ve used all of these and all of them have citrusy scent with gel like essence. The masks are extremely hydrating on the skin while the texture of the sheet is the thin kind that will help your skin breathe. Those who destest fruity mask might not like this but I personally love it. It leaves my skin so soft after usage and I wish Althea will come up with body lotion, shower gel or shampoo with similar scents so that my whole body would smell as great after usage. My favourite is the Water-Me-Long Moisturizing Watermelon Mask Sheet. The hydration was deep and intense and I feel so refreshed and rejuvenated after using it. My only complain is that I cannot get enough of it. Luckily for me though, the price for each of these cute facial mask is really affordable. The mask is gentle on the skin, and therefore I would also recommend this for those with sensitive skin and also, I think these are great for teenagers as well.

Althea A’Bloom Giant Meringue Puff and Baby Meringue Puff

Looking at these makes me hungry and made me think of my favourite sweet pastry that I usually got from the bakery. I honestly feel like eating them instead of using them to apply my makeup. I usually don’t use makeup sponge or beauty blender like these cuz I think they do not give me the even result that I want, especially when I am applying foundation or blushers, but Althea A’Bloom Giant Meringue Puff and Baby Meringue Puff have really soft and bouncy texture that helps with such problems. The variation of sizes allow you to apply just about anything at hard to reach areas on your face. Highly recommended for those who usually do full makeup.

Althea A’Bloom  BHA Blackhead Blaster

The packaging of Althea A’Bloom  BHA Blackhead Blaster is really cute too with cheeky cartoon on the packaging. The Althea A’Bloom  BHA Blackhead Blaster helps to remove blackheads easily. I have plenty of blackheads around my nose and I usually use those sticky nosepatch that left me winching in pain when I remove them but this Althea A’Bloom  BHA Blackhead Blaster definitely solve my problem. It’s pretty simple to use. Rub this on your blackheads, massage gently and rinse off the blackie substance with water. Now, don’t go expecting it to remove your blackheads immediately like those nosepatches, but it does help reduce the blackheads after a few times of usage. Despite the non-immediate result, I still like it alot cuz my pores looks smaller and smaller after some time and it stays that way, minus all the ouch. I was quite amazed with the result, and after Googling the ingredients, I discovered that this Althea A’Bloom  BHA Blackhead Blaster’s key ingredient is the Natural BHA (White Willow Bark Extract 5,000ppm) and the formula treats and prevents new blackheads from forming. Definitely better than nose patch, which does not help prevent new blackheads from forming.Very useful item to have on the go as well, as the size is pretty small and does not take up much space in your makeup pouch.

Overall, I am very impressed with the new Althea A’Bloom Skincare Series. Not only the packaging is so cute and appealing and gives off the happy vibe, but they are really nice to use too. The best part? While the effect is explosive, they come at a really affordable price and don’t cost a bomb.
