Divoom Ditoo in Pink Review

This bluetooth speaker has been in my wishlist since forever. If you're gunning for a cute bluetooth speaker that offers more than music, then this is for you!

Divoom is a tech brand that specializes and incorporates pixel art into their products. Their items range from speakers, lights and even up to bags. You can't go wrong with Divoom products.

The Divoom Ditoo is definitely one of their bestsellers. If you're looking for a good bluetooth speaker in the market, settle on this one. The Ditoo is offered in various colors but the pink is the one that caught my attention.

Divoom Ditoo is not just a regular bluetooth speaker, it's a COOL bluetooth speaker! It functions as a clock, visualizer, and a game booth. There are various designs so you'll definitely find the right one for you.

In order to maximize your Divoom experience, you have to download the companion application in your gadget. From the app, you'll be able to create your own pixel art design or choose from the numerous selection in the community. Either way, you won't run out of ideas. Of course, that's not all. You can also control the speaker's settings from the app if you're feeling lazy to manually change anything.

For such a small and compact speaker, the sound quality is amazing. Every beat of the music would definitely be heard. The bass itself is amplified.

The Divoom Ditoo can be manually controlled with its mechanical keys and rose gold joystick. You can change the mode, brightness, color and many others with the keys.

The Ditoo is advertised with 8 hours of battery life, which I doubt to be true...? I usually use it and it can only last up to 3 hours or so. I guess the makers didn't consider that users would play music with the pixel art design mode on.

Overall, I highly recommend you to get a Divoom Ditoo speaker. This would amplify your work station experience at home. There's not much negative aspect to talk about it except for the short battery life.

Logitech K380 in Pink Review

Of course, the Logitech K380 in Pink is a must keyboard for pink lovers. Not only its color is attractive, its functions are great in work-from-home setups and school. Read further to learn my thoughts about this keyboard.

This keyboard has always been a part of my wishlist. Unfortunately, it's usually out of stock (in authorized stores) or I didn't have enough money to purchase one. Thanks to the recent Shopee sale, I finally managed to acquire one for an affordable price. This keyboard usually ranges around PHP 1995, but I got it for PHP 1400 thanks to vouchers and coins.

The Logitech K380 is a bluetooth keyboard. It can connect up to 3 devices, which you can switch with just one click of a button. You can go to your laptop and then transfer to your cellphone or even your tablet.

Its portability is one of the reasons why I went for it. It's lightweight and easy to bring around wherever you go. Its keys are quite silent and not annoying if you're working in a public space.

If you're an Apple user (like me!), this keyboard is your buddy because Apple key functions are accommodated and engraved. Majority of keyboards in the market are more leaning to Windows so seeing this K380 is a sight for sore eyes.

The keyboard's footing may not have a stand but it's tilted so you'll still get a bit of elevation. It has rubberized feet so it won't slide off.

Overall, I highly recommend the Logitech K380 keyboard. I can't say or see anything bad with it since my usage experience has been enjoyable so far. In my opinion, it's better to get this keyboard while it's on sale rather than purchasing it for its full price.

Cherry Home Smart Pet Feeder Review

For cat owners out there (like me!), having a smart pet feeder would drastically change your life. Here is my in-depth review on the Cherry Home Smart Pet Feeder.

Cherry Home is a local brand in the Philippines that is making affordable and accessible smart products. Currently, they have smart lights, adaptors, and alike in their inventory. Today, we're focusing on one of their products in the Cherry Pet collection.

This Smart Pet Feeder is a great asset to pet owners. It is durable, stylish, and functional. For a price of 4,400 PHP, pet owners would enjoy a hassle-free experience.

Before purchasing this feeder, make sure you have an adaptor or powerbank. This feeder is meant to run on a powerbank since it gives pet owners an opportunity to make it portable. Moreover, at the back, there is an intended slot for the powerbank. Personally, however, I prefer to use an adaptor so that I won't have to worry about the batteries. I'm using an Apple adaptor, in case you're wondering.

In order to unlock the smart features, you have to download the companion application in your smartphone: Cherry Home. Make sure to connect the feeder to the app so that everything would flow smoothly.

Once connected, you can know finally access the feeder's smart functions. When you use the app, you'll be able to feed, see, listen, and talk to your pets. You can also set a permanent schedule that accommodates to your pet's feeding time.

Don't worry about the food portioning. In the app, you would be able to control how many grams the feeder would release to the bowl. If you're bad at math, the grams would automatically translate how many portions are available in your selected gram choice.

Even if you're in another room or outside of your home, you can be rest assured that your pets are happily eating. Do note that you can only feed them dry food with this feeder. Cherry Home does not recommend putting wet food in the feeder's storage.

If you can't find your phone, you'll still be able to feed your pet. Just press the button in front of the feeder and it will automatically release 10 grams of food.

This feeder comes with a top-notch camera. It is able to capture scenes in 720p and up to 20 meters distance. At night, infrared night vision will automatically be enabled so that you'll be able to see things clearly in the dark.

The feeder is able to store 1.5 kilograms of food. Inside the storage, there's a built-in sensor that will be able to tell you if your food storage is low. When it's running out, it will notify you in 2 manners:

A red light will flash in front of the feeder

A notification will pop out in your phone

My only issue with this product is the short length of the cord it comes with. Since it is naturally meant to run on a powerbank, Cherry Home went with a short cord.

Overall, my experience with the Cherry Home Smart Pet Feeder is pure convenience. I highly recommend this product. I'm giving it a two thumbs up.

Razer Kraken Multi-Platform Wired Gaming Headset in Quartz

When it comes to the gaming industry, Razer is one of the leading brands. Their Rose Quartz collection is a raving favorite in the female community. In case you’re hesitant to purchase, better read my review first.

The Razer Quartz Collection is composed of various products ranging from microphones to mouses. Naturally, they are mostly in the color pink. Despite the numerous Quartz items available, I decided to settle on this particular product.

As of the time of writing, there are currently 4 Razer Quartz audio products including what I’m reviewing. I chose this because it satisfied my need for pink aesthetic, powerful sound system and adjustable styling.

Don’t turn down this product just because it’s meant for gaming. This is also great for educational purposes, office work, and other personal reasons. 

This is what the Razer Kraken promises to deliver:

7.1 Surround Sound

Unfortunately, since I am an Apple user, I am unable to test and try out the 7.1 surround sound. I hope Razer includes Apple users in the future in these kind of sound advantages.

Cooling Gel-Infused Oval Ear Cushions

I am unable to appreciate the “cooling gel” sensation. I cannot feel it and I think this is just a marketing ploy. However, the ear cushions are comfortable. I noticed that the Razer Kraken cushion’s material is the same as the Beats by Dr. Dre. I am worried because the leatherette cushion of my Beats crumbled overtime. I hope I don’t meet the same problem with my Razer Kraken.

Custom-tuned 50 MM Drivers

The sound system is immersive and superb. I could clearly hear every single audio detail. The tiny details I have not appreciated or taken note of before has come into my full attention since I can now discern them.

Retractable Unidirectional Microphone

The microphone is not only retractable but it is also flexible. Thanks to Razer’s tech, it can remove background noises. This is a plus for me since my professors will not be able to hear my cats’ endless meowing.

Hidden Indented Eyewear Channels

Ever since I started wearing glasses, headsets have become a total pain. Fortunately, the Razer Kraken does not let me encounter that kind of pain. My glasses fit perfectly and the cushions do not give me any kind of pressure.

How the mic looks when it is pushed all the way down:

How to the mic looks when it is pulled all the way up:

The pink and gray color is aesthetically pleasing. The mixture and the choice of shades are definitely a hit for the pink lovers out there.

It also has a built-in mute button. This is absolutely perfect if you want to go on mute with just a simple touch.

The serial number of the item can be found outside the box and in the left ear cup. Removing the ear cup can be quite a daunting task at first but fret not, the cups are designed to semi-automatically return back to its shell with just a use of your finger. 

Be sure to register your Razer products via their website. Razer will ask for the serial and product number. The product number can be found at the back of the box.

If you’re loving the Razer Kraken headset, why not add this super duper adorable accessory?

Razer Kitty Krakens Ears In Quartz

Looking for some cute stuff to spice up your “at home” experience? Search no further because what you’re looking for is the Kitty Krakens.

You’ve probably seen this item floating around in the tech community. Chances are, your favorite streamers are wearing this as well. Thanks to its highly adorable design, it has become a massive hit.

Spicing up your tech life with the Razer Kitty Krakens is a great choice, especially with the pandemic still around. You might not be able to wear your fresh kicks this year, but at least you’ll still look good with this accessory.

The Kitty Krakens are detachable cat ears that are meant to accompany the Razer Kraken merchandise. Its sole purpose is to add fun and style to your headsets. As of the time of writing, there are three variants: Neon Purple, Green and Quartz.

It is completely made of rubber and it looks durable. Razer guarantees that this product is waterproof although I’m not too keen to test that out.

Despite the stylish effect it gives, here are some cons I noticed:

1. It is difficult to attach to the headset. I have to stretch the Kitty Ears (quite worrisome and bothersome if you ask me!) to its maximum capability. 

2. The Kitty Ears ruins the cushioning of the headset. It leaves some marks so I have no choice but to remove it after every use. Letting it stay might make some permanent damage.

3. It does not light up unlike the latest versions of the Kitty headset (but that’s built-in unlike this).

Overall, I still enjoyed the Kitty Krakens. I love the idea of being able to take the ears off whenever I want to.

Changed My Skincare Gaming!

I’m obsessed with facial masks. My blog is full of them and I just can’t get enough. This one is a game-changer though and here’s why.

Truth to be told, I’ve never heard of Sister Talk and I’ve learned about them when I was browsing in hicharis.net. Since their face masks are what I need for my face, I’ve decided to give them a go. If you want to check the products out yourself, visit hicharis.net/itsemified.

Before I used my masks, my usual steps in cleaning my face are: facial wash, toner, then I use my mask then I apply ampoule after.

The set currently has Tightening & Perfecting, Purifying & Protecting and Soothing & Relaxing. Let’s test each one out! ;)

Tightening & Perfecting

Tightening & Perfecting is great for those who strive for an anti-aging product. I’m currently 24 years old and just because I’m young doesn’t mean I should use anti-aging products since I want to take care of my skin well.

Purifying & Protecting

When my skin is free from facial problems like pimples and blackheads, I tend to go for this one. It does great in maintaining a problem-free face. I consider this my basic “maintenance” mask. 

Soothing & Relaxing

Among the 3, this one is my most recommend. I immediately saw the effects the next day! It made my pimple (with no head) disappear overnight and I was floored with the results. If you’re looking for a quick patch-up, this one is a great solution.

If you want to buy, visit hicharis.net/itsemified to purchase this product for a discounted price. You’ll also be getting a free mirror if you buy via the mobile app. :)

Sixteen BrickIt Shadow Kit Review

What’s better than chocolate? An eye palette that looks like one! ;)

The beauty industry has certainly produced unique and insane products. When it comes to eyeshadows, there are numerous brands that would simply make the consumer have a difficult time in choosing.

Food-inspired eyeshadow palettes are definitely not unique. The trend is still ongoing and I don’t think I’ll see it die for quite a while. The food theme is rampant and people are eating it up.

Sixteen Brand (16Brand) is a Korean beauty company that specializes in makeup. Launched by Korea’s top celebrity makeup artist, Chosungah, the brand has become a massive hit.

One of their creations is a chocolate bar-inspired eyeshadow palette called BrickIt Shadow Hit 10 “Choco”. The name is lengthy and a bit hassle if you pronounce it fully. I wished they shortened the name.

The packaging is a typical chocolate bar. Its exteriors remind me of Hersey’s old packaging style. At the back, the shade names are located and is in Korean.

Once you take the palette out of the box, you’ll immediately notice that its container is designed as a chocolate. The long rectangular container reminds me of Etude House’s eyeshadows. There’s not much uniqueness when it comes to their packaging style. 

The shades are very friendly for both a daytime and nighttime makeup look. The colors can be used for a soft contouring or bold smoky eye look. There’s a perfect mixture of matte, glitter and shimmer.

Left to Right: Egg Nog, Cotton Sugar, Sweet Latte, Milk Coco, Rose Macaron, Hazelnut Syrup, Cinnamon Powder, Deep Brownie, Melting Ganache, Cacao 100.

In terms of formula, the 5 from the right are rich in pigment while the others are a bit lacking in color. If you have a fair skin tone, this palette would definitely compliment your skin. As for medium skin tones, the lighter shades are easily unnoticeable. 

The brush applicator is different from the usual Korean applicators. For me, the 16Brand brush is well thought of and unique. Thanks to the applicator, both ends have sponges in different sizes: wide and small. The wide sponge is perfect for applying the base and blending the colors while the small sponge is great for definitions.

Overall, I’d rate the product a 4 out of 5 stars. There are factors in the product that could have been worked out more, especially in terms of packaging, but it works just as fine as any other Korean eyeshadow palette.

Diva White Tinted Lip Balms Now Available (Review)

After trying Diva White’s tinted lip balms, I knew my lipstick gaming would change its course. Read my story and see the swatches!

Diva White is a local brand that’s close to my heart. When I sampled their lip tints back then, I enjoyed what the brand has to offer to its customers. Fast forward today and they have so so soooo much products to offer to their audience.

After conquering the lip tint sensation, they’re now releasing tinted lip balms. You’re probably confused as to what tinted lip balms are, don’t worry I used to be in that position too. *laughs*

Tinted lip balms are balms that provide pigmentation. If you’ve noticed, ordinary lip balms are either transparent or lacking in terms of color as to what a lipstick could give. Formula-wise, the tinted lip balms moisturize chapped lips. Diva White combined the best of both worlds and thus, tinted lip balms are born. 

As of the moment, they have 10 tinted lip balms out in the market. All the balms have seals so if you see yours broken, it means it has been opened. 

Top to bottom:

Icycle - Staying true to the lip balm’s roots, this color is sheen and acts just like an ordinary lip balm. It doesn’t provide much color as compared to its siblings. Definitely perfect if you’re looking for an affordable lip primer.

Frosty Rose - Warm red that will surely give your lips a kissable impression. The subtle redness would definitely make the onlooker think, “Are those natural or...” They’ll never know! ;)

Unicorn - It’s bright pink but bearable for a daylight look. It wouldn’t overpower your skin color even without using foundation.

Moonkissed - Definitely not for the faint-hearted, this plum would release the rebel in you. This color is rich and vibrant, if you can pull it off then good for you!

Fiery Pink - This hot pink is your go-to if you want to scream PIIIIIIIINK in public. It looks pale on the skin swatch but on the lips? Nope.

Toffeelicious - It took a couple of swipes before I could see its actual color. On the arm swatch, it’s a bit brown but when I applied on the lips, I couldn’t see the color. I don’t recommend this shade. :(

Roux - Oh boiiii, this cool red is the heaviest among its siblings. To get an even application throughout my entire lips, I have to use my fingers. It’s vibrant to the point it can be an actual lipstick than a lip balm.

Cupcake - After multiple swipes, I found out that it has a light coral color. My lips hurt a bit since the color pay-off isn’t big after swiping it a couple of times.

Sunkissed - My most used and most recommended balm among all of them. If you’re looking for a subtle nude lippie that’s great even if you’re not wearing any foundation then this shade is for you.

Popsicle - This light maroon color is perfect for both daytime and nighttime looks. Depending on your application, the pigment could reach so many levels of darkness.

There are 2 factors that this product needs in order to be considered “fully-improved”. My issues are its lack of scent and the faulty packaging. Since this is a lip balm, I’m expecting a typical lip balm scent but got disappointed instead. The packaging is a bit faulty since once you twist the product up, you can’t twist it down so you have to make sure to twist as little as possible to save it.

Generation Happy Skin Active Set In Free & Bliss

Wanna go to the gym while looking cute or chic AF? Problem solved because Happy Skin created and collaborated with Kathyrn Bernardo in order to release a line of makeup that’s meant for active girls.

Generation Happy Skin Active targets women who wants to use makeup while they’re out and about in the world. The collection includes lipsticks, blush, lip tints and a whole lot more. Among the said collection, I recently received the special set of Bliss and Free.

These two are part of the Love Your Lips Intense Color Butter Balm that’s tasked to moisturize your lips while giving it a beautiful color. The butter balms are cooling, pigmented and lightweight - much true to what it advertises. There are currently 4 butter balms out in their site and stores.

When Happy Skin said the butter balms are cooling, I was a bit hesitant in believing it to be so. Upon swiping the product, I could smell fresh mint and feel its cooling sensation. It really reminds me of EOS balms except that this one has the pigment of a lipstick.

Speaking of pigment, I was surprised on how colorful the actual swipes are. I expected a light tint since they’re balms but truthfully they’re like lipsticks. The colors are much more vibrant and lively in person.

With just one glance, you can tell how buttery the product is. It’s not the sticky butter type of lip product; in fact, it’s the actual opposite. It’s lightweight and it feels like you have nothing on.

For me, it looks kinda weird wearing these balms without a face base (foundation, tinted sunscreen, BB cream, etc.) because the product outcome looks like actual lipstick. It just feels like the look is totally incomplete.

Top to bottom: Free, Bliss.

Among the sets available in their shop, I prefer this one than Powerful & Fierce. The former is friendly for everyday usage and compliments the Filipina skintone. No wonder Kathryn Bernardo was wearing Bliss in her AD!

Mask Made From Eggs??!

I’m guilty of this: I used to use eggs as a facial mask. Thank goodness I don’t have to do that anymore!

Eggs are proven to be a beauty ingredient. I remember cracking some just so I can use them as a facial mask. I highly recommend NOT to do that because the unpleasant smell would drive you insane. Not only that, everything’s sticky and watery.

Thankfully, Allupbio created an egg-based skincare product called Eggro. This product is meant to moisturize the skin and minimize the pores. Eggro advertises itself as a luxury product and I intend to test that!

The packaging’s fairly simple. There’s not much to it but the bottle’s heavy so you know they’re not giving you air. The black with gold accents gives you a luxurious vibe indeed. 

In terms of formula, the goop’s creamy, smooth and scented very nicely. No hint of eggy smell or whatsoever. Great job of erasing that ghastly scent, Allupbio.

Soooooo, does it work? I can definitely feel my skin getting smoother but I don’t see my pores shrinking. If you’re looking for a great facial mask moisturizer, give this one a go.

If you want to order, get them via hicharis.net/itsemified <3

A Make Up Remover That Requires No Water?!

Removing your makeup is a tedious process. In order to greet the next day with a pimple-free face, I have to use high-quality makeup removers just to avoid this problem. Meet Banila Co’s Clean It Zero.

Banila Co is a Korean brand that produces affordable high-quality products. Due to their immense popularity, you can buy some of their products via Althea Korea. Althea Korea is a trusted website where you can satisfy your K-Beauty cravings.

When it comes to makeup removers, Clean It Zero is a sought-after product. Thanks to its interesting formula, it can be considered unique among the many makeup removers out in the market.

Before I discuss its formula, let’s focus on its packaging, shall we? As I took the pink jar out of its box, I noticed how heavy it is. That’s when I knew that it’s full and every cent you pay for is worth it.

Inside the box comes a “it’s a legit Banila Co product” card (since they recently changed the packaging) and a scooper. I appreciate that it comes with a scooper so you can be tidy throughout the entire makeup removal process.

Most makeup removers are liquid-based or cream-based, this one isn’t. The problem with liquid-based and cream-based makeup removers is that it’s easily consumed. I have to constantly replenish my stocks since it gets depleted easily. Thanks to Clean It Zero’s wax-like substance, you can use minimal quantity in order to get high-quality results!

Banila Co boasts that this product can be used with or without water. How nifty is that? I decided to test which one works best.

2-3 scoops are enough for me to remove the entire face makeup.

Before:

After:

As you can see, it removed erased my makeup except the mascara bits. I prefer using my Clean It Zero with water since it’s faster to remove the makeup and less wasteful of tissues (they recommend to use towels but opted for tissues instead). I practice triple cleansing so I use this product alongside a micellar water and toner in order to completely remove any trace of makeup.

What It’s Like Staying At Grand Hyatt Manila

Grand Hyatt Manila is a posh luxurious hotel that just started operating last year. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Taguig, why not give this hotel a try?

Recently turned 24 and I decided to spend my birthday weekend in Bonifacio Global City. Choosing a place to stay in for the night was not difficult because Grand Hyatt Manila was an option. 

Upon arriving in the hotel, I instantly noticed how stinky their lobby was. The dreadful stink lingered the entire day and no one from their staff did anything about it until the next day! I was clearly disappointed with this because a luxurious hotel was clearly failing when it comes to hygienic purposes.

Stayed in their 1 King Bed Room + extra bed where everything was absolutely splendid. They gave us a room with a “view” although it was just a bunch of boring buildings.

Said bed:

The room has a work desk area with electrical and USB outlets in the side where you can charge your gadgets as you work.

They have a mini lounging area in the room where you can sit back and relax or invite your guests for a quick chat.

Their elegant bathroom has both a shower area and a bath tub. Pick your poison! Unfortunately, I only got to use the shower area because I was too lazy to warm up the bath. :(

Of course the bathroom was complete when it came to toiletries - everything you would need and want were available. They have the June Jacobs brand as their complete hair and body care package.

My biggest concern was the separate toilet room from the bathing area. There was no bidet available where you can wash your parts after every usage. Nobody bothered suggesting to include bidets when they were constructing the hotel???

Complimentary coffee and tea was available. 

I appreciated that their walk in storage had a mini sofa where you can sit when you want to wear your shoes. You can also find your hotel slippers in here too.

I wasn’t able to explore their gym area so I settled for their poolside area. The place was absolutely relaxing and I felt like a pampered guest when I visited. I got temporarily separated from my family and I appreciated that the poolside desk lady knew my family name and guided me to where my family was. Kudos to her! <3

Their pool was quite big but a bit shallow. Perfect for the kids but terrible for the adults. Nothing fun to do around here except taking a couple of drinks. You don’t have to bring your towels because the staff would offer complimentary towels if you ask for it.

Got myself a lychee vodka. :)

Since I didn’t bring any money, they were okay with payment upon checkout. *thumbs up*

They also have 2 temperature-controlled jacuzzis. It can fit at least 9 people but it would be crowded. 

They have a locker area where you can deposit your valuables and other items before entering the pool area.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take a picture of their breakfast buffet area but the food they were serving there wasn’t the typical hotel breakfast buffet menu. They have numerable delicacies that were bound to satisfy your appetite.

Overall, I would rate my Grand Hyatt experience a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It was smooth-sailing but they could have done a better job when it came to multiple aspects.

I’m Wearing The Wingbling Set

When it comes to affordable Korean fashion accessories, Wingbling is in the top of their game. With a huge online following, it’s hard to miss what amazing product they’ll come up next. Thanks to Hi Charis, you can get your own Wingbling craving satisfied when you purchase from hicharis.net/itsemified <3

Bracelet:

Necklace:

Between the two, I prefer the necklace better. I love that its design is simple and elegant. It will definitely elevate your look.

Wait a minuteeee! Not only they’re fashionable, they’re also glow in the dark. Exposing them under the light whether it be under the sun or artificial lighting would make them glow.

Althea Korea’s Makeup Hits Their Site

Althea Korea released their very own makeup which you can exclusively purchase from their site. If you’re browsing their site and in need of some beauty guidance about their newly launched stuff, I’m here to help you!

Althea Korea has dwelled in skincare in the past. Now, they decided to conquer the beauty community with some products that are bound to enhance your natural complexion.

They have their own lip tints, concealers, eye makeup and even a spot treatment. You’re probably thinking, “Are they worth it?” Well, you’re in luck because I’ll honestly review them to the best of my abilities. <3

When it comes to K-Beauty, lip tints are a must. It’s no surprise that Althea Korea decided to invest on them. Due to its popularity, you can create various lip looks from daring to sweet. The brand focused on cream tints instead of the old regular tints we all know.

How are cream tints different? Well, they’re thicker and creamier than regular liquid lip tints. It’s buildable in case you want a pigmented base. Depending on your application, cream tints can act both as a lipstick and lip tint.

Of course, Althea Korea had to release 4 shades. Luckily, these shades compliment the Filipino complexion. They’re absolutely perfect for everyday usage.

Their applicator is nothing out of the ordinary. Same old, same old.

Left to right: Plum Cream, Strawberry Cream, Peach Cream, Marron Cream

Among all of these 4 shades, I highly recommend the Peach Cream. It’s my go-to lippie if I’m feeling lazy in applying make up. I love how it compliments my Chinita skin.

Each tint costs PHP260. If you want to get all 4, you can buy it for a discounted price which is worth PHP940.

Althea Korea released 4 shades of concealers. For me, 4 shades are not enough to cover the wide skin tone ranges of Asians. Luckily, I found my shade in Ginger.

At first, I was wary of the formula. I thought it was too thin and I disliked it when I did some swatching. As soon as I applied them on my face, I learned to appreciate it. It did a great job in concealing my pimple marks and moles. It dries quickly so better dab faster.

The applicator’s ordinary. Nothing much to say about it. 

Right to left: Vanilla, Ginger, Honey, Mocha

Althea Korea made sure that their concealer is affordable. They’re currently priced at PHP200.

Of course, glitters are a must in the beauty community. If you’re looking for a good liquid eye makeup, this is better than popular leading brands. Althea Korea’s Spotlight Eye Glitter would make you festival-ready.

Liquid eye makeup brushes look like this. I love that they made it like this since it would be easy to apply the product on the eyes. 

As of the moment, there are 2 shades available. They’re called Gold Light and Pink Light. I like the former better since it’s easy to match with other shades.

If you’re going for a natural look, I wouldn’t recommend using this as a base. Since it’s glittery and highly SHEER, it’s best used with a matte eyeshadow. If you’re in the mood for something different, you can use this as a liner.

Each eye glitter costs PHP300. It’s cheap as compared to other brands. Time to hoard! *winks*

Althea Korea collaborated with BCL to create an eye palette that’s bound to compliment your daytime and nighttime looks. Time to meet Sunrise & Moonrise eye palette.

Still a bit confused with the chosen packaging since the floral design has nothing to do with actual sunrise and moonrise. Hoped they considered better related designs. This is not very ground breaking.

The chosen colors are definitely eye-catching and perfect for both in the morning and at night. The 8 chosen shades are flexible when you’re eyeing for a bold or sweet look. There are only 2 matte shades while the rests are a bunch of shimmers.

The entire palette costs PHP1780. It’s a bit pricey but the color pay-off is worth it. These 8 shades are great to play with and you can create at least 6 looks.

Althea Korea is killing the skincare gaming so it’s natural for them to release their very own spot treatment. You’re probably wondering, “What are spot treatments?” Well, they’re meant to cool down your inflamed pimples.

The moment I saw tea tree listed as an extract, I knew this is going to work. That ingredient is perfect is combatting pimples. I’ve been using tea tree-based products since high school and I could clearly see the difference between the before and after.

Apply just a bit on the concerned area.

Upon applying on my pimples, I learned that the product quickly works on blind pimples as compared to regular pimples. When it dries, you’ll notice that there’s a visible peel.

The product costs PHP240.

The lunar box comes with this set of stickers. Dope, right?

Cream sticks are your best friends when you’re pressed for time and you want that hassle-free experience when applying make up. Personally, I use cream sticks when I don’t want to wear foundation. If you’re like that, you’ll definitely enjoy MultiBalm.

Currently, MultiBalm has 5 shades out in the market. I currently have Watermelon Veil. It’s a light baby pink shade once you blend it thoroughly. 

It’s a retractable in case you’re wondering. The container’s pretty light so it’s fine to carry it with you wherever you go. 

Here’s the total amount of product you’re going to get. I know it’s not much but it’s quite a while before you can finish it.
