Happiness when you have new skincare arriving at your doorstep! Plus, it's K-beauty products - you all should know me by now! Nothing steals my heart more than Korea related things! 


I cannot thank Althea enough for sending all these adorable A'Bloom goodies for me to try out.

A'Bloom is Althea's latest and newest in-house line that is all about cuteness, quirkiness, colours and fun! You can pretty much tell the whole theme that's going on just from that photo above!


First in line is the BHA Blackhead Blaster


This BHA Blackhead Blaster is fomulated with a mixture of BHA (derieved from willow bark) and apricot seed powder combined with charcoal and tea tree extracts that to help in cleansing, detoxification and controlling excess sebum production. 


Another point worth mentioning is that this product is cruelty-free, so no cute furry animals were harmed in the production of this product *claps*



How to use? 

1. Remove all of your makeup, wash your face and apply the product onto your desired areas. 

2. Gently massage in circular motion (take your time to do this) to remove trapped oil and dirt. 

3. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Then, carry out your usual skincare routine.  


The interesting thing about this product is that you could use it on anywhere that you'd like. It's not like those conventional nose pore strips that are only designed to be used on the nose area. You can use this BHA Blackhead Blaster on your entire face, elbows and knees too.

If you have sensitive skin, fret not, this product is clinically tested to for its non-irritation feature!


Once you have washed it off, you'll instantly feel how much cleaner and smoother your skin has gotten.  


Next up, face masks!!!! There are 4 different formulae of sheet masks from A'Bloom with 25 grams of essence designed to suit your skin problems. Same as the BHA Blackhead Blaster, these A'bloom sheet masks are also cruelty-free products! 

Now, can we just take a moment to appreciate the adorable packaging?!

Not to mention, they are really cheap and affordable too. I am a huge advocate for cheap yet amazing skincare products! So you can trust me on this. Because I bought 40 pieces of them with my own money just to stock up! I recommend buying them in bulk (though you can defo buy them individually) but buying more gives you discount, so why not? Click here to go straight to all these maks! 


The Water-Me-Long Moisturizing Sheet Mask (for pack of 10 - click here) is perfect for quenching parched complexions, giving the skin a boost of hydration that plumps it back to life. Infused with trehalose, lavender and watermelon extracts, this sheet mask prevents dry flakes from forming and soothes redness by cooling down the skin.

This is my personal favourite among all 4 of these masks. I swear by the power of this water-me-long sheet mask because the other day I went to facial and the lady did really extensive extraction on my skin and I walked out of the place with my face looking like the surface of the moon. Then, I went home, put on the mask and went to bed. The next day, my skin recovered itself, miraculously, by A LOT!!! I know this photo is sounglam but just see for yourself. No filter. No editing. 


The Avo-Cuddle-Me Sheet Mask (for a pack of 10 - click here) is rich in antioxidants from avocados and hibiscus flowers to give the skin some anti-aging goodness, preventing signs of aging and fine lines from appearing. It also coats the skin in a moisturizing layer, ensuring that your skin stays supple for a long time. It also has a subtle, refreshing and unique scent - I mean, how often do you come across an avocado sheet mask? 


The Sparkle-Me-Bright Sheet Mask (for a pack of 10 - click here) is designed to help tackle dull and tired complexions. This gives a blast of Vitamin C derived from lemon and lime extracts paired with green tea and niacinamide to revitalize and bring back the radiance of your skin. I used this when I had a few late nights in a row and it really did help! 


The Ac-Me-Peach Sheet Mask (for a pack of 10 - click here)is made for trouble-prone skin. It contains peach and tea tree extracts to treat spots and minimize enlarged pores. Moreover, it clarifies the skin and removes redness caused by acne. 


If you are a fan of using cushions or beauty blender, you'll like A'bloom's soft, pillowy and cute Meringue Puffs!

These Meringue Puffs come in 2 sizes: Giant for covering large areas of the face and Baby which comes in a set of 3. 


Giant Meringue Puff (1 pcs per pack)
Size: 4.8x4.6cm


Baby Meringue Puff (3 pcs per pack) 

Size: 3x2.8cm


Look how bouncy and squishy this meringue puff is! 


On top of that, these Meringue Puffs are suitable for all skin types as they are made up of high density non-toxic and latex free materials. 


Althea offers free global shipping when you hit a certain amount (the min. amount is dependent on your geographical location) during checkout. To add a cherry on the cake, Althea usually ship their in beautiful boxes :)

Not only does Althea carry this exclusive A'Bloom collection, they also do carry a myriad of famous Korean facial/beauty/cosmetic brands. In other words, they are sort of like an online Korean Sephora. 

That's all for today, annyeong <3

Last week, my family and I made an impromptu trip down to Perak and Melaka for a 3-day family trip. All thanks to this trip, I got the chance to collaborate with Encore Melaka. 

It's a very memorable experience for me because this is the first time I had to travel so far for a blog collaboration since the Althea Korea X The Butterfly Project Christmas party in 2018



For those who have never heard of Encore Melaka, here's a little background information:

Encore Melaka is a 75-minute theatre performance / cultural show that tells the historical stories of Melaka through the art of song and dance which will leave you awe-struck. The 3 main languages of Malaysia (Malay, English and Chinese) are used in the narration throughout the show. 

Trust me when I used the word "awe-struck" because I'm not someone who's easily impressed generally but Encore Melaka did blow my mind! Keep reading and you'd know why.

I just got home from the Taiwan Expo 2019 press conference. For the very first time, in such an incredibly timely manner, I am already drumming my fingers away to share more information about this upcoming expo.

I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to write about my 1-day-in-Myeongdong because there are so many photos to deal with and they are driving me insane!
