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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Great price points. Because you get the products straight from the Althea warehouse in Korea, you get the products at the lowest possible price.

4. Good deals. Watch for discounts and daebak (jackpot!) promos that happen regularly.

5. 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!

6. 100% real. You're guaranteed to receive authentic products since they come straight from Korea. 

7. 30-day return policy. If you're not happy with your purchase, you have a month to return the product and get a refund.

8. 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.
