Althea Makeup Sunrise & Moonrise, Watercolor Cream Tint, and Flawless Creamy Concealers

Hello lovelies,

after about a month or two trying their makeup set, here they are, the reviews of the products. I did made a youtube video (here) where I'm using all of their products, including an acne gel and sparkly gel eyeliner.

-*-



On the photos here, I'm using the makeup too from Althea. From Eyeshadow, concealers, liquid lips and glittery eyes. My theme was a Glistening Red Valentine Makeup with Althea. The skin itself looks flawlessly glistening, perhaps thanks to all the concealers applied and cover all imperfections. The products are easy to be used and simple as it is. Their pigments also not bad, pretty much bold and daring.

-*-

I know the red lips can be intimidating, but they also have the coral too, don't worry, since the theme is red valentine, I just had to use the red one and I love it, it's perfect for red lovers.

The eyeshadow itself is pretty creamy and easy to be blend, when doing makeup for indoor photoshoot I can imagine myself adding some vaseline for a watery lids and how charming it would be.

-*-

Okay, let's start again from the base, from the concealers creams, they are creamy alright and comes in 4 shades. I know that they are pretty mild and bright in terms of shade, no visible darkness here, just vanilla, ginger, honey, and mocha. I can't even use the darkest one as contouring but they work like a charm in hiding imperfections.

Dab, dab, dab on the area needed, doesn't have to be the whole face, but you can if you want, and then blend it using a brush or sponge, or even finger. It will stay, puff it out with a bit of powder to set the concealing power.

There's one in gold and pink, we can use it as a glitters for the mid of the lids, or inner corner of the eyes, or waterlines, or even on other places the body.

The product does last and have a good staying power, but not really rub proof. It resist water too but not completely as in it will gradually lessen and lessen as in it will fall off little by little.

-*-




So, what do you think about these babies, I still think that they worth having. On the image below, did you noticed that the lips is different? That's when the product has been lifted off using facial tissue, so the stained lips look itself is pretty amazing and suitable for daily use, in the end, it is pretty kiss-proof for a romantic valentine night.

Thanks for reading the post and don't forget to watch the video as you can clearly see the difference of before after makeup.

Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser

Hello lovelies,

lately, I've been googoo gaga about Althea, not just because their product is now available again in Indonesia but they've been launching awesome cool products that not just works like a charm but surreal. They are so good, like good amazingly good.

In this box I received two items, one is a sparkling mist of which I've shared a review for it as well, and another one, that blue colored clear bottle, Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser.

-*-

How to use the Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser?

To remove makeup:
Step 1: Pour an adequate amount of the product onto the palm of your hand.
Step 2: Massage the product all over your skin in circular motions to remove dirt and makeup.
Step 3: Rinse off the residue with water. You may also use a second cleanser to completely remove any residue.

To cleanse the skin:
Step 1: Dampen the skin and apply an adequate amount of the product onto the palm of your hand.

Step 2: Gently massage the product all over your skin in circular motions for 5-10 seconds before rinsing it off with water.

Combine the powers of a cleanser and serum with Althea's Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser! This beauty superhero whisks away makeup, dirt, and oil with mint extracts while ensuring the skin stays cool and hydrated throughout thanks to a dual moisture cell system that envelopes the skin in a serum-like formula. It prevents the skin from drying out and effectively minimizes enlarged pores, keeping it smooth to the touch. This product also helps to balance the pH levels of the skin to keep it working in tip-top shape! Best of all, it's gentle on the face and suitable even for those of us with sensitive skins.
And here's why they are so good:

-*-

All details are available from https://my.althea.kr/

-*-

So, it's not just any cleanser, but a sensitive care cleanser that works in deep level imaginable possible for the skin.

I'm testing it using my hard core products, the one that super sticky, super waterproof, super tough to erase, including the glittery ones.

-*-

Simply apply the Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser and let it sit for a while.

I just spread them with my fingers since they are pretty runny, the texture is fun to watch heehee, not a gel, but kinda like a thick oil but they'll glide here and there.

-*-

Within seconds, I can see the difference, without massaging too much, the particles of make up looks like start to breaking apart, letting go my skin easily like they got nothing to lose. It's wonderful and the feeling on the skin is comfortable, there is a mild scent of mint but not bothering me at all. Some products with mint can be overwhelming and too cold, but this one is subtle and just freshly right!

-*-

I take a cotton pad, and thinking maybe I need to massage it a bit using the cotton pad, I DON'T NEED TO, it just effortlessly glide on and the cotton pad take all the makeup particles that has fallen off the skin.

It's amazing, usually with other products, I have to rub it up a bit, using a bit of massaging movement with the cotton pad or fingers, but this one just did it own its own. Love it so much!

-*-

I just simply do the rest and it cleans everything, haha! This is perhaps the best cleanser I've used.

-*-

I rinse everything off and my skin is happily, comfortably clean. I can continue using skincare and I enjoy the feeling of using the Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser everyday on my dry and sensitive skin.

Hard waterproof stays on makeup no longer a problem in cleansing, this one does it like magic!

-*-

Thank you so much Althea, your product rocks!

AltheaXTitiKamal

Hello lovelies,

I got an awesome news from Althea, here it is:

We are so thrilled to share with you Althea's FIRST celebrity collaboration and it's none other than with Titi Kamal who is not only beautiful but also a talented movie star and singer from Jakarta, Indonesia! And on top of that, she is as enthusiastic about beauty as we are. We would like to introduce to you our collaboration with Titi Kamal (also, Althea's first body mist), the Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist

What's good with Stay Fresh Body Sparkling Mist? We worked very closely with Titi Kamal to produce this new baby because of her enthusiasm for beauty trends across Southeast Asia and her passion for understanding what consumers love.

• This mist is a lightweight body fragrance with Titi Kamal's favourite fruity and floral scents: Orange, Peach, and Rose.
• The combination of these beautiful scents will give you that fresh feeling you need to seize the day.
• The bottle is perfectly sized to fit in your handbag or travel carry-on so you'll always be ready to impress.

-*-

The product itself is very simple, it's a body mist that comes in a light pinkis color with roses all over, Which is also show the scent itself which is pretty much floral but with fruity delight that is fresh, beautiful and easy to be used. The scent itself is sharp at first, settled down to an aromatic rose aroma.

I guess the first thing was Orange and Peach, slightly sweet but mostly bursting with freshness like fruits in the spring, so yummy and addictive. Then romance come in the air with the rose.

Here are the Key Ingredients:

Damask rose water - Menjaga kulit dari dehidrasi dan memberikan keharuman lembut

Minyak jeruk manis - Menyegarkan indera

Ekstrak bunga Elder - Mendinginkan dan menenangkan kulit sementara memberikan aroma feminin

And yes, the product is safe to be used directly onto the skin.

-*-

The container itself is not too big and not too small. 100 ml is the size allowed into a flight and easy to be carry anywhere for a quick touch up of the fragrance. The scent does last for around 2 hours or so and I can spray it on my hair too.

So it has been a top to toe mist for me, that made me feel alive every time with an invigorating fruity floral note. Light enough for daily use and still make a lovely impact to everyone surround you.

Thank you so much Althea for this lovely product and you for reading my post.

Althea Angel First Box

Hello lovelies,

The beauty box has reached me some time ago and I did share with everyone through my Instagram post @Carnellin. I also share with everyone on my youtube.com/Carnellin. It's been so much easier to make videos nowadays and share it live in Instagram too heehee, I guess I did neglect my blog recently, oops sorry.

So, here it is, a new post for Althea, made specially available thanks to Althea Angels program which I love and do spread our wings.

-*-



A beauty box as a welcome gift consist of 3 loose powder in beige, bright white translucent and pink lavender. There's also Milk Peel and Petal Velvet Sunaway which I made a post here (click me). I did make a video too for Milk Peel (click me), and on this post, I would like to share about my experience with all of their products.

Start from the cleansing that does help my skin to feel cleaner, smoother and does remove dull skin without pain nor discomfort. It's pretty much addictive with the bubbling effects. They kept on bursting and bubbling for endless minutes before I rinsed everything off.

-*-

The sunscreen are also helpful in terms of living in a big city like Jakarta, where it  is sunny most of the time. Heat become unbearable at times hence we need a sun protection that doesn't glare back to the sun. So being velvety, matte and naturally looking like our own skin has officially trending now. Most sun protection nowadays are alike and Althea is keeping themselves up to date and not just that, they are showing that having they own brand can actually works! Their stuffs are amazing and raved by many, including the loose powders too, some are even sold out due to high demands.

-*-

People are looking for a non boring, non conventional loose powder, now they want something that was adjustable to their skin condition, either use it alone or mix and match. Like anyone with pale skin would love a pink touch, or dull skin with lavender, and those who yearn for brighter skin could go to white translucent and the best thing about the loose powders are they are made mostly by natural ingredients with effectiveness that fight sebum.

-*-

They all come in affordable prices, free delivery and discounted price here: https://share-in.althea.kr/x/lwxC3b

Thanks for reading my post and see you again soon with more of Althea goodies ahead!

Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway SPF 50+ PA+++++

Hello lovelies,

the sun can be unbearable at times in Jakarta, and even thou' we stayed indoor, the sun still pretty hard to avoid. Reflection is part of the thing right now where the ray are still affecting our skin. So using sun protection every day is crucial whether you're outdoor or indoor.

And for those who are still saying hey, it's raining, so there's no need to use sunscreen or when it is cloudy, oh hohohoho, you're so wrong, the sun ray are still there, even can 'bounce' from cloud to cloud, so when it is still day time, do use sun protection at all cost.

-*-

Another excuse for not using sun protection is the thing that called white cast, inconvenience, greasy, thick feeling to the unbearable texture. I have good news for you!! Althea is here with their Althea's Petal Velvet Sunaway.

The texture in real life photo? At first, it was white cream, and when distribute it will be a bit white and then it will be so transparent and velvety feeling. After a minute or so it become powdery and loving it. Using it alone or with makeup is no problem, the final texture on the skin is just superb. I love and how it turns out.

Some sun protection remains greasy hence using it before makeup can make makeup appear oily and some even make it look awful with noodling and creating cakey base. But Petal Velvet Sunaway is just perfect as a makeup base too. I love how it made my skin feels, I can use it on my face anytime during the day and for touch ups too.
