Without completely meaning it to, my shopping preferences have changed. It could be the hellish traffic. the insane crowds in malls, or a sign of aging, but if I could choose between buying something online or in malls then I would rather go with the former. Yes, I could get lost in bookstore and beauty section aisles all day, but the prospect of braving through Metro Manila traffic is almost enough to put me off shopping.
And that is why I cheer a little extra enthusiastically whenever I get wind of new websites being made available to us. Sooo I'm very pleased to share with you that Althea Korea now ships to the Philippines straight from Korea!
The site will officially open on February 15 but I was chosen to be one of the beta testers. I placed my order on January 23, received the confirmation email that my orders have been shipped on January 25, and my pink box was delivered to my home address on January 30!
Yes, from Korea straight to my house in five working days! No need to worry about taxes or customs fees!
So what is Althea Korea? Borrowing their name from Korea's national flower, Althea Korea is a popular beauty shopping site that ships internationally from Korea to Malaysia and Singapore and now, to the Philippines! They offer comprehensive authentic Korean makeup and skincare selections at the guaranteed best price and unconditional returns. What's more, for a minimum order of P1,500 you can already enjoy free shipping! I know I sound like an infomercial here but seriously these are all great reasons to shop here!
I had a difficult time choosing which items to put in my cartbecause I want everything. Would you like to see what I bought? Of course you do!
My orders came in a sturdy bubble-wrapped pink box that I can reuse. As you can see, each item is individually wrapped in addition to the pink tissue paper, ensuring your orders are protected during shipping and handling.
Here is a closer look on the items I got!
I haven't used this yet because I'm still waiting for a weekend when I'm free to do my much-needed pampering time. Truth be told I put this in my cart because I was intrigued by the egg shape, hee.
My friend Alex swears by Innisfree so I'm excited to use this.
I lost my Laura Mercier highlighter (huhuhu) and I haven't bought a new one yet so this is a welcome addition to my traincase. This quickly became one of my favorites because I love the subtle shimmer that easily brightens up my face.
All those nights staying up late have unfortunately taken a toll on my undereyes. I don't use it that much, though. I only use it on days I apply eye makeup.
I love everything I got and I seriously can't wait to shop more when the website officially opens!
Now here comes awesome news: GRAND OPENING PROMOTIONS!
