[Review] Althea.kr Online Store

Honk Honk Honk!~ Store Review coming thru~!

Hey there! I'm here with another online store review! This time? ALTHEA.kr !
and the webpage looks somewhat like this:

Althea's Homepage

So you'd think that ohhh, it's another one of those beauty store like hermo.my right? Not so fast people!!

It might be another one of those online beauty stores but the thing is, prices here are wayyyyy cheaper! So cheap I'm not even going to walk out of my house, spend on my petrol, and drive all the way to a shopping mall to buy the same things ever again!

Seriously tho, price on this site is unbeatable! It's even cheaper than prices in landed stores during promo period. Plus, Althea boasts a best price guarantee where if you are able to find products cheaper than theirs, they'll match it for you! Fantazaaminggg concept, if you ask me.

Also, they provide expedited shipment straight from the land of K-pop FOR FREE!!! (actually with purchase of RM150 and above, but what is RM150 nowadays? It's so easily achievable!) And it took only 5 shorter-than-my-mynonexistenteyelashes days from Korea to Malaysia! and that's inclusive of the weekends! So in actuality it took only 3 working days!! So freaking unbelievable right?

hahaha I'm filled with so much excites I'm puking rainbow as I type.

Don't believe me? Just take a look at this:

Shipping status

As you can see, it starts out from Korea, and goes straight to your house using Skynet! btw, the skynet delivery guy in my area is super duper friendly. Asks about your day, smiles and all. Sungai Buloh's Numba1 deliveryman!

Now, on to the customer service. And it was just sweet baby cakes INCREDIBLEESSSSS~~
Daniel was such an efficient sweetie, he replied my mails within a day! And that guys, is how you treat a girl, by being attentive! Whatever you're doing just keep on doing it Danny boy!

Email conversation

Next, Unboxing!!! laalalala confetti coming outta my ears~~

I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

Here comes the hot pink parcel! <3

Bubble Wrap Layer #1 - Box

Personalized receipt in a letter form +
Pretty baby pink Althea Box!

Bubble Wrap Layer #2 - Each Product
Bubble Wrap Layer #3 Below underneath pink frilly papers

My babies! 

Don't you just love the super cute pink package? and the baby pink box? filled with baby pink frilly papers? And The triple layer of bubble wrap!... Just so you know your baby was 100% safe from the dangerous and treacherous process of transportation!

The limited edition Laneige Play Nomore BB Cushion may also be why I'm absolutely in love with this site. Eventho it was shown to be a normal Laneige BB Cushion on their website, they actually sent me the latest Play Nomore edition! So rest assured that even with the amazing low prices, all your purchases are new genuine products, and not rejects!

The only downside i feel, was the lack of variety, but I'll cut Althea some slack, because they are quite the new comer in the field, and what they lack (product range) they make up for literally everything else!!

But hey, maybe they'll bring in more products once they get more business flow. Fingers crossed! XX

(Update: Actually, they are updating their products, albeit a little slow, but definitely progressing!)

Overall: ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5 Lowest price, amazing qualilty, efficient and fast delivery + Customer service. I have no complaints at all. It's 99.99% perfect! I'll definitely be purchasing from Althea.kr again!

So that's all peeps!
Hope this review was useful to you, and I'll see you soon!

*Disappears into my tiny barbie doll house*

Oh by the way, Althea's giving out free RM20 credit for new sign ups in the month of August, so go grab those before it ends!

Good luck!

[Review] Neo Cosmo Lens and GlassesOnline Store Review

Are you the kind that love contact lenses but are too lazy to wear it on a daily basis? Well, congratz! you are just like me! haha

I only wear contacts occasionally or on days when i have the time and feel like dolling up. Which is why, I've been looking for quarter monthly (3-months) lenses that are comfortable yet affordable. Monthly (1-month) lenses are a NO-NO for me, they are just too costly because I usually throw them out after only 5-6 wears.

If you're Malaysian, you'd know how expensive lenses can cost in optical stores, and quarter monthly (3-months) lenses are usually those super huge alien dolly eye circle lenses such as Blinkon or Geolica by GEO Medical that can cost quite a lot. Plus, they always have this buy 2 free 1 promo that forces you to buy 3 boxes instead, like, who the heck has both eyes of the same power right??  Which is why I have not tried them both. Blinkon to me, do not look comfortable at all, GEO might be, because I've tried GEO circle lenses (not the Geolica range) and it was okay. Not as comfortable as I would like it to be, as the lens can be quite tough and very drying after 5-6 hrs wear.

And if you read my blog, I've talked about the RainbowColor Storm Grey lens by Tokyoninki which was one of my favorite lenses (if you have not, read here). I still think the design and pattern is pretty cool. Sadly, i think they have stopped production, and I can't get it in the powers I want anymore. They DO have a new range of lenses, but the designs are not to my liking. So, I have to move on. 

That was almost a year ago.

So now, I want to share with you guys, what I've been wearing these days - NEO COSMO quarterly lenses! ( Check out the designs at NeoCosmo Malaysia's official website link here) 

I've been wearing these NeoCosmo lenses for 9+ months now, and I can't describe to you how much I FREAKKIN LOVE it! I'm actually on my third pair now - the Neo Cosmo Cerulean Blue lenses. My last 2 pairs were Neo Cosmo's Winter Grey which I TOTALLY LOVED!! more than the current Cerulean Blue I have now actually. To know why, scroll to the bottom to read the review of both lenses!

I bought mine from Glassesonline (Link here) and it cost me RM85 for 2 pairs after discount. Normal price would be RM110 for 2 pairs, and if you register with them, you'd get RM10 off plus it provides free shipping nationwide. 

For me, that's RM85 for half a year's wear! super cheap!

My receipt and contact lenses that came in a box

My package came around a week after my order online in a package as such:

Glassesonline delivery package

Inside, there's a HUGEEE box, a lil too much for 2 lil box of contacts lens don't you think?.. haha

Glassesonline box

Open them up, you'd get:

Neo Cosmo Cerulean Blue

Here are pics of me wearing Neo Cosmo's Winter Grey and Cerulean Blue with no filter
(Sorry the pics are a bit blurry cause my Xiaomi Mi3's front camera sucks, I can't really take clear quality selfies):

Me wearing Neo Cosmo's Cerulean Blue (Indoor natural light), looks almost black here lol

As you can see, both lenses are pretty similar from afar and under natural sunlight, the only difference are:

• Winter Grey has a warmer (greenish) tone compared to the Cerulean Blue. 
• Winter Grey is also very much lighter compared to the Cerulean Blue (Although you can't really see it in these photos).
• Winter Grey looks more natural up close compared to Cerulean Blue because of its design and colour. The Cerulean Blue carries a deep baby blue/ turquoise-ish colour which doesn't really look good on Asians. 

Verdict for NeoCosmo Winter Grey:

Colour: ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5 - Natural yet noticeable warm grey.
Enlargement: ❤❤❤♡♡ 3/5 - Very very slight enlargement, but it's there. LOVE IT! 
Design:  ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5 - Very very natural, reminds me of freshlook colorblends.
Comfort:  ❤❤❤❤❤❤ 6/5 - 10+ hours with no discomfort at all, feels like freshlook colorblend monthly lenses! so soft! Absolutely Amazeeed!
Overall:  ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5 - Super NATURAL grey lens if you like just a hint of colour to your eyes.
Repurchase: Buy BUY BUY! MOST DEFINITELY!

Verdict for NeoCosmo Cerulean Blue:

Colour: ❤❤♡♡♡ 5/5 - Not as natural upclose, looks a little like freshlook colourblends in turquoise, from far you won't notice the blue at all.
Enlargement: ❤❤❤♡♡ 3/5 - Very very slight enlargement, but it's there. LOVE IT! 
Design:  ❤❤♡♡♡ 2/5 - Not as natural, patterns are like little starburst lines.
Comfort:  ❤❤❤❤❤ 5/5 - 10+ hours with no discomfort at all, feels like freshlook colorblend monthly lenses! so soft! Absolutely Amazeeed!
Overall:  ❤❤♡♡♡ 2/5 - Just because I like the Winter Greys much better.
Repurchase: Nah, I'll get the Winter Greys. :)
