Dear lovelies,a gossip from Althealand had reached me and guess what is it all about? They finally released there new product line!😊
It's been 7months, since they launched there first ever product,the Althea Petal Velvet Powder that I'd been loving so much,finally I'm excited to introduce to you there newest products -Althea Bare Essentials.
The concept of the Bare Essentials is to simplify the complicated 10 step Korean methods into 3 basic step of the skincare routine- cleansing, toning and moisturizing. This would be good for those who are new to Kbeauty and confused of what to buy,I can't blame them,I was like that when I started buying K-beauty products,lol! And also to those who's super busy and doesnt have time to do alot of skin care steps or maybe just feeling lazy.(I'm also like that sometimes!)
The concept of the product's names are also interesting,they all comes from makeup for this is a dual purpose products, a skincare which at the same time will make your bare skin look naturally beautiful just like with makeup.
This product is also very affordable for less than P1500 per set, you can now have your skincare routine.
Recommendation: hypoallergenic that great for all skin types.

Packaging:
An aesthetic, transparent tube packaging made of plastic material.
Color,Scent and Texture: this cleanser has a dense, sticky texure that creates a soft foam when mix with water,it has a lemon essential oil and fresh scent.
First Impression:
I like how this cleanser removes light makeup and impurities,of course when using waterproof makeup you still need to use makeup remover first. I find this cleanser mild,and refreshing to use,and it leaves my skin feels squeeky clean but does not drying and firm.
Primer Water
Content:200ml
Price:P550
Description:
Both a hydrating toner and a primer in one,the primer water contains patented dew drop technology(Macro Fluidic Dispersion Technology)that gently fills the gap between pores and allows hydration to penetrate deep within the layers of the skin. Made with Snow Lotus Extracts,this skincare heavy hitter has an incredibly smooth and silky texture that enhances the skin's natural glow,leaving you with the perfect canvas.
Packaging: made of simple frosted plastic bottle with a silver cap.
Color,Scent and Texture:
It has a slightly thick texture than the usual toner out there. It has a floral scent that I'm not a fan of.
First Impression:
It's dispenser has a larger hole designed for its toner's thick consistency. Aside from its scent,I love how hydrating this toner is. It melts and absorbs quickly into my skin without being sticky and greasy.
Fixer Cream
Content:50g
Price: P640
Description:
This non oily,quick absorbing formula harnesses the power of Trehalose,an ingredient found in the cactus plant that prevents its moisture loss,to provide the same with 24-hr hydration. This ultra nourishing wonder cream is also rich in anti oxidants derived from Camellia sinensis (Green Tea) seed oil,and helps to promote collagen regeneration using Baobab Tea Extracts. Upon application,your skin is left looking great and feeling bouncy to the touch.
Packaging: comes in jar,like the toner its plastic container also look frosted and simply beautiful. It has an inner plastic lid too and a silver cap. The only thing is that it doesn't comes with scooper or spatula,so I need to use my own spatula to scoop the product.
Color,Scent and Texture:
It has a shiny cream-gel like texture and it has the same scent of Petal Velvet Powder.
First Impression:
This cream feels lightweight on my skin,it smoothly spreads into my skin and leaves it moist,feeling smooth and has semi dewy finish. It doesn't feel greasy at all,oily skin gals like me will also love this.
The product also comes with a handy white mirror and a marble that I could use in my flatlays or can be a mini pot or candle holder.
It also comes with a sample set that can be use for traveling, I will actually include this samples into my upcoming birthday giveaway in Instagram.
Thoughts:
Absolutely loving this Althea Bare Essentials line,so far it's good and doesn't break me out, I would love it more if it will be fragrance -free coz I actually expecting this product to be fragrance-free because of its concept. Anyway, loving also its packaging that are perfectly suited on the concept of this line ,look very aesthetically minimal and clean.
