Annyeong chingus! If you’re reading this right now, it means that you
already know that Althea recently launched their newest collection – the A’bloom
Collection. Or if this is the first time you’ve heard of it, then perfect, as I
will be sharing my review of the whole line!
Althea’s A’bloom Collection consists of 3 amazing and fun products.
The A’bloom
Meringue Puff that comes in two cute sizes, A’bloom Mask Packs, A’bloom BHA
Blackhead Blaster.
A’bloom Mask Packs, Php20 each
A’bloom refreshing skin masks packs have strong antioxidant with
harmony of fruits and natural ingredients of plants that provides custom care
solution for each skin type. The PH balancing helps strengthens skin barrier as
well as re-charge the skin with fresh energy.
Most mask packs are either too big or too small to fit all the holes
on my eyes and lips (I have a wide face), A’bloom Mask Packs perfectly fit on
my face. Okay, maybe not a perfect fit, but almost 98%. Among the four
variants, Watermelon is my favorite. It’s so moisturizing that I can even skip
my morning moisturizer after using it the night before. I’d say the amount of
essence of each mask is just right. I mean, I appreciate those masks with lots
of essence, but sometimes I feel like they go to waste most of the time since I
can’t really use it all up in one seating. Yes, I have a dry skin, but it doesn’t
mean that I have to over moisturize which may result to other skin problem.
Anyway, with A’bloom Mask Packs, 10-15 minutes is enough to make my
skin bouncy, glowy and well taken care of. All for the price tag of 20 pesos.
A’bloom Meringue Puff
The
first beauty tool from A’bloom by Althea is the first meringue sponge puff
designed which was inspired by baking meringue cookies. Achieve the perfect
skin makeup with the lovely, cute pastel pink colour and cookie-shaped meringue
puff. The meringue puffs are made out of non-latex sponge with hydrophilic
properties which will grow 1.5 times bigger than normal size when soaked with
water allowing makeup to be applied perfectly on the skin.
A’Bloom
Giant Meringue Puff, Php100 / A’bloom Baby Meringue Puff 3pcs, Php140
This
is probably one of the cutest makeup sponges I have ever seen! I am currently
using the Giant Meringue Puff to apply my foundation. It performs really well
when it comes to blending. It also doesn’t absorb too much foundation upon
application. I prefer to use it when wet for a dewy and glowy finish. The Baby
Meringue Puff, on the other hand, is perfect for loose powder application. Its
small and pointy end allows me to set every nook and cranny of my face.
A’bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster, Php200
A’bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster is an easy and quick triple treatment for blackheads, whiteheads and dead skin for daily care. It contains natural ingredients to help gently deep cleanse the pores and removing dead skin cells while preventing any irritations or redness on the skin.
I
haven’t tried anything like this before so I don’t really know what to expect. I
have large and visible pores but, I don’t really have blackheads that much.
After using this for several times, I noticed that it didn’t entirely remove
the blackheads or whiteheads. Yes, it does exfoliate the skin however, the only
thing it removes are just the ‘heads’ which leave me to still squeeze it out. I
do love how my nose feels after washing it off, though – soft, smooth. Another
good thing about this product is that even though it is meant to exfoliate the
skin, it doesn’t make it dry. Also, since it has tea tree leaf oil, it helps soothe
and prevent any redness and irritations on the skin.
To
sum it all up, Althea’s A’bloom Collection is full of charms and skin benefits
without breaking the bank. And I’m really excited to see more of these. What
about you, which among these products you will probably try?
