Product Review: Althea Unporegettable Box

     If there's one subscription box that I want to receive over and over again, that box would be the Althea Beauty Box! I presume you already know that Althea Korea and Althea Philippines because most of your favorite beauty and lifestyle bloggers are highly recommending both. Althea Korea is the no. 1 digital destination for all things K-beauty. 

     Althea is the leading Korean beauty site with over 150 Korean beauty brands on board so if you're a fan of their skincare, makeup, and more- then you should subscribe to one of their beauty boxes. Althea Box is offered with a different theme every month. Once subscribed, you'll receive the chosen box and you'll be surprised to see all the products inside. Last November, I received the Althea Un-Pore-Gettable Box which offers full-size products for that nasty pore problem. Scroll down to see the products inside the box and my thoughts after the jump!

Althea Korea Turns 2 Birthday Haul

     Althea Korea turned 2 last July and it rained blue beauty boxes all over Asia and to countries where Althea Korea ships their products. There were so many surprises in store last July for both K Beauty fans and beauty bloggers who were called Althea Birthday Squad.

     I'm one of the few bloggers who joined the squad in spreading the birthday cheer. I received Althea’s Limited Edition Birthday Cake Box with DIY cake box deco, a birthday card, and gift pack which consisted of my haul. I only picked three items this time because I still have a lot of K Beauty products to try at home. Sharing a short feature of my Althea Korea Turns 2 Birthday Haul after the jump!

Althea Korea Turns 2 Birthday Haul

Althea Korea Turns 1

     Months ago, I've discovered an online shopping destination that caters to all things Korean! No need to fly to Korea just to get hold of their skin care products, makeup line, makeup tools, hair and body products and a whole lot more in the beauty-cosmetics department. I was one of the few who got the first dibs when Althea Korea launched their Philippine website- http://ph.althea.kr/ last January 20, 2016.

     Have you seen or visited Althea Korea PH website yet? To give you an idea Althea is the national flower of Korea. Basically this amazing online shop represents the beauty of Korea and delivers authentic K-beauty items to the world.

I Want To Be Part of Sample Room's Blogger Circle

     Looking for a beauty or skincare product to match our personality and needs is not an easy task. Aside from considering the benefits that we get from them, we also take into consideration the price and availability. We all know that buying a certain product specially if it's our first time to try it whether high-end, cost-effective or affordable ones won't guarantee us the positive results that we're looking for. So what comes next after spending your hard earned money with the makeup that caused you allergic reactions or to your new moisturizer that gave you cystic pimples the next day? Of course you'll stop using the product even if it's expensive or not because it doesn't comply with your skin. Buying full-sized products has always been a con than pro for me. If my memory serves me right, I've purchased a lot of skin care and makeup products before and they ended up inside the garbage bin after two days. I've had regrets before and this always make me sad buying full-sized products. Aside from wasting my time going to this place just to access and buy the product, it's also a waste of money- I didn't get my money's worth from buying full-sized products that's not effective and just made my skin condition worst.

     Now, I'm so happy when Sample Room was created. Try before you buy sounds nice and it's a lot nicer when you actually tried the sample product first before purchasing full-sized ones. I'm very thankful because Sample Room made my sad experience a happy one after trying sample products. I can now try makeup and skincare products without breaking the bank

Why do I Want To Be Part of Sample Room's Bloggers Circle?

     Trying before buying makes me happy. I'm sure that I get my money's worth on my next purchase. I can save a lot from buying full-sized ones and will not worry of the outcome from the sample product that I've recently tried. I know that I've only purchased a few products from Sample Room but all the purchases I had made me so happy! I'm worry-free and contended.

     Sample Room doesn't only let you try sample products, some of their samples are full-sized ones! Wow, that's double happiness indeed :)

     Hope I can be part of this circle, please like my entries HERE and HERE. Thank you so much Sample Room for making our lives more easier. I'm sure that even if you can spend your money to buy expensive products, there's something in your mind that tells you it's better to try it first than spending without assurance. It's like if you can buy a lipstick in a price of one, if you try it first and it doesn't suit you well, next time you can buy two instead of one :) Save money, time and energy- that's what Sample Room has to offer ^_^

Good Times!~

BDJ Box Beauty Social Event

     Last Sunday March 24, I attended the BDJ Box Beauty Social Event at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium. This is the first event hosted by BDJ Box- a monthly beauty product discovery subscription service created to help women in their quest for the best beauty products. When beauty boxes subscription hit our country last year, BDJ Box is on top of my list. I find this box very helpful especially to those who loves to venture in different skin care products or those looking for their holy grail. When you subscribe to BDJ Box, you not only chance up to score a sample or full-sized beauty and skin care product but there's a lot more surprise to boot inside the box. Now back to the event, I'm so happy that I made it to the last minute of the beauty talk that I pre-registered. Before I went to the event, there's a lot of personal incident that happened but none of that can stop me from attending the event. Better late than never, right? So even if I'm late for my 3:00 pm and 4:00 pm talk, I still learned a lot from the speakers.

  I really wanted to hear Ms. Bam Mogato's advice on looking good and feeling great but the talk has ended when I arrived on the venue but I'm lucky to witness how Mr. Archie Tolentino demonstrated how to get the dainty and feminine look using Maybelline products. Say hello to the pretty model/vlogger/blogger Iya of Missplpify.

     After the wonderful talk, I toured myself around the venue and saw mini kiosks of international and local cosmetic brands. They were giving freebies, makeovers, samples and great discounts to the event participants. There's Snoe, L'occitane En Provence, Max Factor, Revlon, Goody, Shiseido, Physiogel and Strip together with Browhouse.

Of course I met up with my fellow pretty bloggers who also joined and listen to the talks but unfortunately wasn't able to take photos with Ina of Me and My Glambition and Celline of Product Arena :( I also met blogger Ana of ANAlysisofmylife and upcoming blogger Gina May together with Eyah of Eyahnism Below are photos that Aya of Codename AYA shared through twitter and FB.
