My Latest Althea Haul Gift Set ( Althea X Chica Y Chico)

Hello guys! Who among you here love shopping? Hmm Raise your hands if you do? Well, I've managed to grab some good deals here. Let's cut this chase and head on to this haul-ing. I must admit that this one was quite an impulse purchase. Never mind. Good deals always make me giddy and happy. I will introduce them and at the same time get to know the nature and benefits of the products. Let's begin.

My Althea Haul Gift Box  ( Althea X Chica Y Chico)

This gift box is named as 10-Minute Miracle. Interesting. It's curated to be used for day and night use to achieve that beautiful a no makeup look. Here are items that come with it.

1. Dr. Color Effect Red Serum

This potent drop of essence gives the best skin condition. It has good anti-oxidants and contains ingredients for skin firming, brightening and balancing oil moisture.

2. Skin & Lab Red Cream

This cream contains Damascan roses extracts to help rejuvenate the skin. It also has whitening and anti-aging benefits.

3. Chica Y Chica Matte Cushion # 23  in Semi-matte

I've used the matte version of this before and I believe that they are somewhat similar to each other. Anyhow, the cushion claims to provide a soft satin finish without caking. 

4.Skin & Lab Vitamin C Cream

This is a good cream with vitamin c benefits. It promises to brighten the face, improve skin tone condition, control the melanin on the skin, and helps with anti-aging also.

5. Chica Y Chico Beta-Sallic 2.0

This is actually a wonder product surprisingly. It has multiple benefits like acne relief, making the skin smooth,  mild exfoliation, clear skin tone,clearing the black head and rejuvenating tired skin. 

6. Chica Y Chico Urban Princess Mask in Snow White

This sheet mask has a special formula that contains white flower complex, apple extract water and niacin amide that brighten skin complexion.

7. 3 Random Samples for skincare

There you have it. Those were the items in that Althea box. Unfortunately, they are all sold out already but fret not. Just stay tuned and always be in the look out for some good deals in the future. Once again, thank you Althea for bringing good stuffs for us skincare and make up junkee.

That's it for me. As always, thanks for reading this blog entry guys. Stay beautiful inside and out.
