One of my principles in life is that it’s fine to spend as long as it’s an investment. Taking care of yourself is an investment. Skin care is an investment. Therefore, it’s totally fine to spend for good skin care & beauty products.
I’ve been raving about Korean products here and there. And I felt ecstatic when I discovered about Althea Korea.
Althea Korea is South East Asia’s largest online Korean beauty store that sells 100% authentic Korean beauty products at the lowest prices. For us, Philippine residents, we can shop at ph.althea.kr 
It’s my second time ordering a box and I’ve always been so satisfied (shoutout to my boyfie for getting me this box for my birthday.) Althea claims that orders are shipped straight from Korea and will arrive around 10-15 days. I got my first package after 12 days on my first order, while I got my 2nd package at exactly 10 days.
It’s definitely true that you can get products at the lowest price in Althea. The Get Ready With Me Box contains products worth P4,972 but the beauty box is only sold for P1,316. 
For one, all products are IN FULL SIZE (yes, no trial size in this package.) Another point is that all products are in good condition. I definitely assure that it’s not the surplus that needs to be taken away. Lastly, the packaging is great! It’s secured in a bubble wrap and upon opening the products, there was really no scratches, cracks or dents.
 This beauty box was to good to be true that I’m way too fortunate to have one. 
Althea’s Get Ready With Me Box contains the following:
  1. Beuins: Honey Scrub Mask
  2. Aritaum: Real Pure Peeling Booster
  3. Whamisa: Organic Flower Toner Original
  4. Tonymoly: BCDation Moisture Cover Cushion- Warm Beige
  5. Abbamart: Eyes on me Eyeshadow- Cinnamon
  6. Colornique: Blush- Peach Pink
  7. Etude House: Dear Darling Water Gel Tint- Chilly Red

I’ve been using these products and I just feel so fresh and pretty everyday. I’ll be doing a review of the products soon so stay tuned! xo

Tomorrow, I’ll be turning 20 and I can`t help but to reflect on my teenage years. Oh those good youthful years I spent living without regrets; living AS IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW. 
I remember when I was 15, I made a decision to do whatever I wanted because there’s so much room for good days and making mistakes. If only my fifteen year old self can see me, she would be so proud and pained. Proud that I was able to live, and pained for all the consequences I had to face.
I made a million questionable decisions that I cannot even answer myself, but those silly decisions I made as teen meld me to who I am right now– strong, wise, carefree, and confidently beautiful.
I’ll be turning 20 and I would constantly live as if there is no tomorrow, but this time, I’ll live with better judgment. I may not be the wisest person you’ll ever meet, but I would love to share you 20 things my deviant teenage life taught me.

Changing hair color has always felt like a fresh makeover. In my case, I used to be addicted to dying my hair. But now I've gone from blonde to black, I wanted to achieve that ultra jet black tone. I was only browsing Watson's shelves filled with brown-blonde shades, then suddenly, a black hair dye caught my attention. And the interesting part--- it's a permanent hair dye shampoo.

I even double checked the label that says "Permanent." A hair dye shampoo means that I won't suffer from hair dye fumes and dry hair. Visualizing the benefits it can do to my hair felt like a win-win situation. So I immediately bought it for less than P50. Out of my excitement, I immediately tried the product the next day.

We're only a few days away from April and you know what April means here in the Philippines-- SUMMER! Picture this: you being away from the city, cold breeze tickles your face, the sun warming your skin, unwinding in the ocean, looking hot in the perfect swimwear... but wait, what is the perfect swimwear?

Living in the mountains of a tropical area means having the privilege of enjoying a sunny but cool climate. I live in Baguio City. You know a Baguio person with just the way they dress with an outfit flexible for any type of weather.

In my case, I wore a sleeveless chiffon blouse underneath a nude coat. I guess I utilized my outfit since I wore this on the day I went out with close friends from afternoon till night. I get to chill around on the warm afternoon with a light chiffon top, and enjoy the breeze on the cold night with my coat. I'm all about monochromes and I think I won't ever move on with my style.

We've all seen Kylie Jenner flaunting her brown lips while looking flawless on the runway. Earth tones has been a cosmetic winner. Everyone is going crazy for this trend since it's different and it gives a whole new personality to someone's look. What I love about the medium brown shade is that it matches a wide variety of skin tones. It gives a look not so strong, yet not so pale. Just balanced.

Here are eleven lippies that match every skin tone

I barely obsess over things, but when I do, I overly obsess. Here are my current favorites for the month of February:
1. Christian Siriano Axiom Buckle Flats
I’ve been planning to buy dressy flats since December 2016. But because I’m a wise spender, I always prolong spending. I was with my best friend when I saw this pair and I fell in love with it. It took me 30 minutes to decide in buying it. My best friend even convinced me that buying it wouldn’t count as an impulse buy, rather, an investment. I think she’s right, I’m utilizing it pretty well since it looks nice in both casual and corporate attires.
2. Lush The Kiss Lip Scrub
I’m not a fan of lip scrubs but this lip scrub was THE BOMB. This product is the reason why I scrub my lips now. It’s just so easy to use. You only scrub it on your lips directly, lick off the excess (it’s vegan and it’s sweet,) and you get pinkish lips. No need for lip tint.
3. Kylie Kristen Lip Kit
I honestly do not like nude and pink shades. I just feel less pretty on those shades. It’s the first time that I fell in love with a pinkish nude shade. I guess it’s just a matter of finding the perfect shade for my skin tone. 
4. Urban Flora by Alina Baraz and Galimatias
This album is my go-to playlist. Every single song is just so sexy, chill and smooth. If you’re into underground, chill, pseudo-EDM music, YOU BETTER LISTEN TO THIS. It’s like my soul all in one album. 
5. MAC Masterclass Oval 6 Brush
It blends makeup really well. I swear any makeup application with this brush will look natural and on point. Best one I had so far.
6. Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy
To every busy gal who can’t go to a nail salon because of a tight schedule, this one’s for you. It’s easy to apply, the polish is really thick, it dries up quickly, it stays for a long time, you save up cash (costs only 375 php per bottle compared to 500 php PER APPLICATION in nail salons,) and you end up with a flaunt-worthy gel-polished nails. Absolutely a win-win situation.

Like my favorites? Are some of my favorites, your favorites too? Or do you have better favorites? Feel free to comment below.
