Althea Addiction #6: Mask mask masks

Hey everyone! I'm back again with ANOTHER Althea Addiction post to showcase yet ANOTHER Althea unboxing haha! This time it's a small one because I only picked up a few things from their site that I've been tempted to try out for quite some time.

I ordered my box during their Christmas season, which explains why I got their beautiful navy Christmas box. Like all of their Christmas boxes, it came with these super cute cards! (I know la I have been quite busy lately so now only I post )

And here's what I got! So far the only masks I've tried out of the three are the Petitfee Gold eye & spot patch masks and the Float mask bundle. I've only opened the float mask bundle yesterday and the only mask I've tried from the bundle is their nose pore mask. At first I thought it was those nose pore strips where you stick on your nose, once it's dry, you peel away then you can see all your sebum on it HAHAHA, but NO. It's not!!! :O

I checked back Althea's website to see the instructions on using this nose pore strip and apparently it's a much more gentle way of clearing the sebum sitting on the surface of your nose. All you have to do is put it on your nose then 15-20mins later, the essence of the nose pore strip will magically soften/melt the sebum away. My nose felt super duper smooth until now! It's one of those rare sheet masks where I can actually feel an instant effect omg. But before I give a full review on it, I'll put a few more sheets to test first!

Also, CNY is coming! My mini-thank you surprise for everyone will be announced really soon! So stay tune alright! Also, if you like the box you see above(just the box, not the contents! ahaha) remember to check back my blog this week to make sure you don't miss out on my thank you surprise ok!

Club Clio launch @ Sunway Pyramid

Hey everyone! How're you guys liking 2017 so far? My first day of 2017 is pretty good, been swatching a lot of new makeup from different brands and will definitely share my swatches + reviews with everyone real soon! Now let's start the year with a little "beauty update" for all my k-beauty lovers. Two weeks back, I attended Club Clio's launch at Sunway Pyramid. A brief introduction on what Club Clio is - An award winning South Korea cosmetics company with three major brands developed under them, namely Clio Professional, Peripera and Goodal. 

Did you know this is actually Club Clio's first store in Southeast Asia? The Malaysia outlet is currently managed by Naga Asian Beauty Sdn. Bhd., helmed by it's CEO Jace Tan. Originally starting out as a nail distribution company, they've jumped into the Korean wave, picking up a number of brands covering cosmetics of all forms. Since then, Naga Asian Beauty has been distributing to major chain outlets such as Watsons and SASA.

Club Clio's launch had an array of activities lined up for everyone - a stunning kpop dance performance opening act, guest celebrity appearance - Ms Joanne Yew, a runway show as well as a lucky draw at the end. Photo above are models at the Club Clio launch featuring products from Clio Professional's latest holiday collection - Turn On The Light! 

This series features bright, bold and neon colours perfect for those looking into creating a flawless long lasting club/party makeup look. Plus the packaging looks amazing! 

A closeup on the packaging from this series! 

At the launch, we also got to meet Club Clio's Head makeup artist, Ms Song. 

Now time for a sneak peak of what you could expect from Club Clio @ Sunway Pyramid.

Each of us were given a box of goodies along with a RM100 voucher to spend on that day so as soon as the lucky draw winner was announced, all of us began swatching products, and discussing what to get with our voucher.

 This product was recommended to me by one of the lovely ladies working at Club Clio, This is goodal's Premium snail tone-up cream. It's a product to apply all over your face for a brightening effect. This is also a pretty good product to use on those lazy days where all you want to do is draw your brows, add a touch of this snail tone-up cream for a fairer complexion and you're good to go!

Some facial sheet masks 

 Peripera's lip tints were packed in SUPER cute packaging and came in a whole variety of colours and finishes for you to choose from! I had such a hard time making up my mind on what colours to get I think I've spent over an hour just in front of peripera's lip tints! 

 Single eyeshadows are available for sale. I personally prefer their shimmer ones as I find them more pigmented than their matte shadows. You could also purchase an empty palette from them to customize your own palette of shadows to carry on the go :)

 For a more 'worth your buck' option, Clio Professional also offers eye shadow palettes retailing at RM151.90 each. 

Some mini lip tint kits from Peripera are also available. I forgot to snap a photo of it's contents but these kits are great for those that are interested in trying out their lip tints' formula as well as a variety of colours. Also, I personally love minis because they're really good for travelling! + they're super cute ahahah

Thank you Club Clio for these lovely gifts! 

Super cute Peripera X Powerpuff Girls collaboration! 

This is what I got with my RM100 voucher + a little top up haha 

I have been hearing so much about how great Clio's eyeliners are so I'm super excited to finally be able to try it out! I've been splurging a lot on makeup these days if not I would've gotten their gel-pencil eyeliners as well. I tried them out on my hand that day and they felt amazing because they glide on so well and did not smudge!! 

I also picked up two tints during their launch. Both tints had a pleasant sweet scent to it. One is a water tint formula while the other is a matte velvet one. 

I actually got the water tint because of it's super cute water bottle packaging! The box also looked super cute because its a milk carton packaging. How la can one resist something like that! If you have not checked out Club Clio @ Sunway Pyramid, you should drop by and check them out now! On the side note, CNY is coming really soon and if you like what you see in this post, I have a surprise for everyone so stay tuned! ^^

Althea Addiction #5: Santa Althea is here to save my hair

A little late to share this with everyone but guess who came home to a christmas present from Santa Althea the other day? 

Yup me. In case you're wondering how to get these super pretty Christmas boxes, all you have to do is place an order now at Althea.kr ! The boxes are available in S, M, L and will only be here til 31st of December, while stocks last! So hurry up and shop shop shop, it's not too late yet! Plus, Althea has just launched their mobile app available on both iOS and android! Check out the promo they have for it below! 

Cool right! You get a pretty christmas box and new beauty products to utilize + an RM30 discount too! (Use the code: MOBFIRST30) If you don't know what to get, here's a sneak peak of what I'm about to order haha

I don't know why but I've only came across the 24k gold mask recently so I'm itching to place a new order asap to get another one of those pretty boxes! Then I could also save on gift boxes/bags too in 2017!! Just put the gifts in an Althea box then I'm done, no wrapping required too haha. Now without anymore delays, let's see what santa Althea gave me!

As usual all Althea parcels will come in this hot pink packaging.

Bubble wrapped nicely so your goodies will be in tip top condition :)

Really love their special boxes because it comes with these cute and pretty cards

The polar bear postcard came with a promo code you could send to your friends or family. I'll just share it with you guys reading this ba~ This code expires on the 28th of February so you can utilize your MOBFIRST30 first then only use this HAPPY2017 next year haha! 

So from the looks of things, the goodies Santa Althea sent me is from their 'Good Hair Day Box' which is perfect because the only hair care I have is my one year twice salon visit for hair treatment! This box has the perfect combination of products to refresh, repair, moisturize, and add shine to your hair. Exactly what I need omg. ((because I own literally 0 hair care products, that's why we've never talked about hair on this blog until today!!))

In fact I'm actually writing this right after my second hair treatment of the year. That way my hair will be able to absorb these hair products from Althea better kan. Before that if you ask anyone about my hair, they'll tell you I have one of the worst hair conditions ever and I have not even went blond yet! So thank you so much Althea for sending me this box of hair care products so my hair can look prettier and not like a broom T v T

First up we have this green tea mint fresh shampoo(300ml) from innisfree. The closest "personal care" product that I use which has a mint flavor to it is my toothpaste so maybe I'll get a cooling feeling when I wash my hair with this? I know my friend Sam just ordered this from Althea the other day, we have matching shoes and laptops and now I guess we're using matching shampoo too!

Next I got is this Scalp Scaling-Program from RiRe. This is a product for us stress-ed out college students. It helps in relieving scalp itching and will also increase the thickness in your hair. Every time I look back at my old photos, the only thing that comes to my mind is how much I've loss since entering college T_T 

These three round massage balls will help spread the product evenly into your scalp

This big bottle here is Piolang's Raspberry Treatment Vinegar. It is known to help fix the balance of oil and moisture in your hair. To use this, after shampoo, sprinkle a small quantity of raspberry treatment vinegar onto the scalp, lightly massage it then rinse it off with water :) 

Containing a number of natural blending oil, keratin, HG-70, this Perfume graphy leave-on treatment from MERIT will help protect your hair from damage and also leave a pleasant fragrance on your hair. Directions is to apply a decent amount of this leave-on treatment onto your hair after shampoo. This can also be applied onto wet or dry hair. 

Next I got is Kocostar's GGONGJI Hair pack. I feel like this is a hair mask I've seen many bloggers raved about so I'm really excited to try this out to see how well this goes on a one time use. This is an intensive self care hair pack exclusively for damaged hair ends. Perfect for those with damaged ends from excessive bleaching + perm.

This one here is Hello Everybody's Biotin oil. This Biotin oil will keep your hair protected from UV rays and up to 230 degree Celsius of heat protection. Similar to most hair oils, this Biotin oil will help improve damaged hair, replenish nutrients in your hair, as well as restrain moisture loss. Proper usage of this oil is to pump 3 to 4 pumps of product onto your palm, and apply it onto dry or wet hair, then massage it gently. 

Last present I got from Santa Althea is this Senseful Lady Hair Mist from Missha. In a scenario where you want your hair to smell extra good but you're running late and you don't have time to wash your hair, use this. After going for a sukiyaki lunch with your friends and you don't want your hair to smell like yummy beef, use this. You're in a public washroom and the washroom doesn't smell good, use this everywhere. Anyhow, this is a hair mist you can use any time and any where. Also, this isn't just a hair mist that will make your hair smell good, this hair mist will also help prevent static and frizz to your hair. Win win kan? To use this product, spray 10-15cm away from your hair and distribute the product evenly using a brush or your fingers :) 

This sums up my gift unboxing from Santa Althea! Once again, thank you Althea for the lovely set of hair products. Remember it's not too late to get your hands in one of those gorgeous christmas boxes! Start shopping now now now! 

Ending this post with a pic of me holding all three sizes of the Althea Christmas boxes! Also for your information, the box Santa Althea sent me is the medium size one and as you can see, there's so many things you could fit in it! So can you imagine how many things I've managed to kept inside the largest christmas box? ^^ 

Until next time! Happy holidays!!
