Today I would like to share about my shopping experience and haul in Althea. I think most of you already knew or heard about Althea. Especially if you are a fan of korean make up and skincare.

Althea is one of the official online shop from Korea establish in 2015 directed by Mr. Frank Kang as the CEO. Althea offers korean make up and skincare from many popular and well known brand in Korea. They ship both national and international including Indonesia.

Back in 2016-2017, the customs issue happened and Althea ID had to ceased operations. The good news is, Althea is able to operate again with their brand new website at in.althea.kr. And not only are they back, but their fans are also able to enjoy Althea's very own products as well.

So last month, Althea ID and Surabaya Beauty Blogger had a collab project and they gave me 500K credit to shop any make up or skincare based on my choice. I took times to decide what to buy because I love korean skincare and they got much interesting skincare varian.

After scrolled around about 2 hours, I finally decided what to buy with the credit. So.... Here's my Althea shopping haul!!!! 😍😍😍

Inside there are 3 korean skin care product and i also got 1 hair serum as a freebie. What a deal.

What inside my Althea box?

REVIEW ROYALTY SKIN CARE SERIES (SP0NSORED)

Hi everyone,
It's been soooo long since my previous post. I had some project to do lately that I had no time to update my blog. I miss writing so much but I really have no time. And finally today I can update my blog again and i'm so excited. 😍

Today I would like to share my honest review about one of the local brand skin care product that I've received 2 weeks ago from Royalty Cosmetic.

Royalty Cosmetic is a premium beauty brand from Indonesia which created to help the women brightened and whiten their face naturally.

Their skin care range is targetting in whitening and it contains 3 products.
They are :
~ Royalty Cleansing Soap
~ Royalty Day Cream
~ Royalty Night Cream.

I've been trying this range for 2 weeks and I kinda love how this skincare suit my skin so well. Without further do, let me explain one by one.

1. ROYALTY CLEANSING SOAP
Royalty Cosmetic best facial cleansing soap is made from natural ingredients that can brighten the face for men and women. It suitable for all skin type and safe to use because it is trusted by BPOM. Can be used for dry or oily face and acne. Fast result and does not cause dependence.

The soap comes in a simple box packaging that sealed with transparent label.

The product description and ingredients list are written at the back of the packaging box, including the manufacture, BPOM number and expired date information.

There are also a small logo at the bottom edge showing that this product is no animal tested.

If you open the seal, there's a Gold Royalty symbol at the center. And the soap inside has a transparent yellow color and smells nice. It has a soft natural plant scent and not overscent or parfumy.

The soap itself is sealed with plastic. So i can say this product is pretty hygiene.

I use some water to create bubble and it produce soft foamy bubble which feel soft on the skin.

I use the bubble to wash my face and this soap feel gentle on my skin. Even though I have sensitive skin, this soap didn't irritate my skin.

Unfortunately after using this soap for few days, my skin feel a little bit dry. Maybe because this soap has anti acne ingredient which suitable for oily or acne skin. Since I don't have acne, i think i have to keep the soap for emergency if one day I have acne problem.

But so far, I love this soap. It has a good cleansing power, soft natural scent and didn't break me up.

After trying this soap for 5 days, here's my pros n cons.

Pro :
~ using natural ingredients
~ nice and soft natural scent
~ produce light and soft foam bubble
~ has a good cleansing power
~ didn't irritate my sensitive skin

Cons :
~ not travel friendly
~ a bit dry for my dry combination skin

Overal, I rate it 3 out of 5.

At the left side, they wrote the special formulation infused in this day cream. It contains Arbutin and glutathione which I know as the best whitening agent. It's an expensive ingredients.

And the information about product benefit is written on the right side, mentioning that this cream has a function to moisture, lighten and protect the skin from the harmful uv ray.

Inside the packaging box, the day cream is packed inside a small plastic jar with metal screw cap.

There's also a label surrounding the jar packaging that wrote product description and BPOM number and expired date information.

This cream has a white creamy texture which is lightweight and easy to absorb into the skin. It moisture my skin well without feeling sticky. It has aloe scent which faded after few second. Even though it contains spf, it doesn't feel greasy and no white cast.

One more good thing, this cream didn't break me out. It has no negative reaction since the first time i try. That means. This is my skin approved!

Almost similar to the day cream, this cream also has a white creamy texture which is lightweight and easy to absorb into the skin. But the night cream absorbs faster and a bit lighter than the day cream. It gives calming effect upon application because it gives cool and calming sensation on my skin.

This cream moisture my skin well. My skin feel plumper, smoother and firmer when I woke up in the morning. FYI, i sleep in a room with all night air conditioner on. And to test this cream, i didn't use any additional serum or essence. I only use toner and layer it with this night cream.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE & REVIEW
I have a sensitive, dry combination skin with discolouration, dark spot and large pore around my upper cheek.

To do a valid review about this skin care range, i stop my complete skincare routine which include essence and serum especially during the night.
Normally my skin will react if i try a new skincare that has some ingredient that unacceptable by sensitive skin. But i can tell that I have no single break out or purging since the first time I tried this skin care.

Both cream approved well by my skin and i kinda love the result. My skin didn't feel dry even though i skipped my serum and essence. And it didn't feel heavy or greasy. I really love the formula, the texture and the scent.

Except for the cleansing soap, i can't use it often because it dried out my skin a bit after 5 days. So i stopped and back to my previous cleanser. I won't complain though, since i know that it has a benefit to heal acne. So it must have an oil control properties which not suitable for dry skin like mine.

However, i still keep the soap just in case i have a problem with acne or my skin become oily one day. I can still use it.

For the main benefit as a whitening treatment, at first I didn't really notice a big difference. But when i took a selfie after 2 weeks using this product, I'm quite amazed!!! It does whiten my skin and the result is quite significant Here's my before after pic. It was taken in the same spot with the same lighting.

Other result that i experienced is that my skin become plumper, more even and pores are getting smaller. Those are more than enough for me. I'm satisfied with the result and will continue using it. Maybe will repurchase :)
