Only a month since it launched in the Philippines and barely a year on the Internet, Althea is your one-stop Korean beauty store online. Offering skin care and makeup brands that are not yet readily available in brick-and-mortar stores in the Philippines, this website is definitely worth a visit.
Here are a few things we learned about the Korean online beauty destination that might convince you to try online shopping for K-beauty products.
-
One-step sign-up. All you need is an email address! Or if you prefer to sign up with your social media accounts, you may do so, too.
-
Elusive brands. While there are already a lot of stores that offer Korean brands in the country, there are some brands that you might not see anywhere else like 3 Concept Eye, HERA, Iope, Innisfree, and W-Lab.
-
Great price points. Because you get the products straight from the Althea warehouse in Korea, you get the products at the lowest possible price.
-
Good deals. Watch for discounts and daebak (jackpot!) promos that happen regularly.
-
Straight to your doorstep. No hassle of picking up your parcel from the post office. Your beauty loot—in a pretty pink box, too— arrives straight to your doorstep!
-
100% real. You're guaranteed to receive authentic products since they come straight from Korea.
-
30-day return policy. If you're not happy with your purchase, you have a month to return the product and get a refund.
-
Soon: COD. Right now, the payment method is through PayPal or credit card transactions, but they're already working on a cash-on-delivery option.
Will you try signing up and shopping online? We're already keeping our eyes peeled for the next promo!
