What's inside the Althea Korea Super Food Beauty Box?
If you’ve been reading my blog and newspaper column for a while, you know how #obsessed I am with Korean beauty products. My weakness is not helped by being subscribed to Althea Korea’s e-newsletter and receiving information on all the deals available on its website!
Althea recently launched a series of Beauty Boxes, which are curated bundles of makeup and skin care products at very discounted prices. Unlike most beauty box concepts, these can be bought individually. There’s no need to subscribe for several months.
One of the latest Beauty Boxes is the Super Food collection, which has eight full-size products by top Korean brands, themed and formulated to nourish the skin (observe the MAC lipstick for scale!).
Here are the yummy contents:
Missha Juicy Farm Very Berry Blueberry shower gel, 300ml, smells as good as it sounds. It contains blueberry (surprise!), grape, beet and fig for mild cleansing and moisturizing.
Calmia Oatmeal Therapy cleansing foam, 150ml, is safe for gentle daily exfoliation and unclogging of pores.
Half Moon Eyes Milky Jelly toning essence, 180ml, is a triple-action toner, booster and essence in one. The combination of fig and silica powder is meant to refine, balance and hydrate all skin types.
Innisfree Green Tea moisture essence, 50ml, is a concentrated essence recommended to make even dry skin dewy by locking in moisture. Green tea’s antioxidant properties will help refine pores and brighten the complexion.
Cool Cool Mon anti-aging sleeping mask, 100ml. This green caviar sleeping mask is meant to be worn overnight so that skin-healing ingredients can relieve the skin while you sleep. The regular price of this mask is P1,500 per tub!
B&Soap Fun Block shampoo bar, 100g, contains coconut to strengthen and shine the hair while cleansing. I’m curious about this because I’ve never tried a shampoo bar before.
Skinfood Avocado and Sugar lip scrub, 14g, comes in cute avocado-shaped packaging. Keep lips soft and smooth while being moisturized by this gentle scrub.
Blackberry and Bay Nine Point body mist, 100ml, is a very mildly scented spray for both face and body. I am not sure if it’s meant to be used like a facial mist or it’s more like a spray moisturizer; will share later on when I’ve had a chance to test it.
Bought separately, these products cost P5,790. With the Super Food box, you get all of these products together for only P1,610. There’s enough stuff in there to finish off your Christmas shopping list and still have something left over for yourself, without severely denting your wallet.
Boxes are available until supplies last. Althea’s Beauty Boxes are such a good deal, they sell out very quickly. In case you missed this one, don't worry; there are new ones coming every few weeks!
Visit ph.althea.kr and get free shipping straight to your door for a minimum spend of P999, no visit to the post office necessary.
