Interview with Mardhiah Ismail

Hello My Name is Mardhiah of maddybrags_

Makeup or skincare? Which would you say comes first? Our Angel all the way from Malaysia shares why she thinks skincare is as important as makeup in our interview. Hailing from Kelantan, this gentle and bubbly Malaysian started her humble beginnings as a beauty blogger, youtube, and reviewer on Instagram with resources she already has thanks to her sister's advice! 👧

We all know how we started and it is a struggle to show our craft. You don't need high-tech equipment or fancy props as long you know your stuff! Now she has a following of over 20k (woohoo!) 🎉

This is why we admire Maddy, as she brags about her beauty products on her Instagram showing her amazing eye makeup skills and the importance of skincare to prep your face as a canvas before makeup 💖

Hello My Name is Prelel of prelel

💖Our next Angel feature is Prelel Yu from the Philippines. She's one of the cutest beauty bloggers ever with her cute cosplays and all things pink and just kawaii! A Korean beauty junkie, Prelel is also an avid Althea shopper right from the start. With her love and support, we just couldn't get enough of how big and fluffy her heart is.

Her feed is filled with all the skincare and makeup reviews she posted, all with an added touch of "prelel" as she sprinkles magical stars 🌟and soft pink to adorn her feed like a fairy garden. She's definitely skincare obsessed as her reviews are honest and detailed and sometimes accompanied with a blog post for her followers to read more (bcoz we know IG can only have that much text space!)

If we could only hug this ball of sugar, we would! Check out her blog at as she is also a lifestyle and parenting blogger on www.prelel.com 🎀

Interview with Rika Bajacan

Hello My Name is Rika of @rikatrinaaa

Last Christmas, Althea approached one of our Althea Angels in Cabuyao, Laguna (Philippines) to carry out an important mission to spread Christmas cheer to the front liners and essential workers. It was a heart-warming collaboration with her, our ambassador which involved groundwork and dedication to give out a million peso worth of Kbeauty products from Althea.

A strong single mother of two, Rika not only showed perseverance and strength in her life but also knew what kindness meant for many. As such we didn't bat our eyelashes when we approached her on this "surprise" project together. 

From collecting thousands of products, moving them, and packing each Althea box filled with 6 - 10 items. She went out her way just before Christmas to give 200 gift boxes on the streets and hospitals. Such an act of kindness from our Angel Rika is one of the reasons we interviewed her for our International Woman's Day article.  Thank you, Rika from all of us at Althea Korea 💖

Interview with Bubbly Vivi

Hello My Name is Vivian of @bubbly.vivi

Who would have thought a cosplayer would actually be a sweet but feisty young lady from a suburban town in Malaysia? We first got to know her when she started out reviewing beauty products from Althea and that her passion is so great, she would travel all the way from Perak to the city to attend one of our beauty workshops. 

With her love of reviewing skincare products, she has started an Instagram channel dedicated to sharing reviews and content that she creates. We have seen her style changed from the time we stalked her, and we love how she continues to improve with her self-taught skills and improvement workshops such as the one she attended in the city. 

Such passion and dedication to beauty are why we would love to interview her for our International Women's Day month. Secretly, we hope to see her cosplay more when she reviews beauty products!

My JUMBO Pack Review

Jumbo Fruit Mask Pack (40pcs)

Is your skin feeling parched, dull, and have been exposed in an air-conditioned room for extended hours? Do you yearn for a hydration bomb and fix it? Then continue reading as I would like to share with you a “secret” I found that Althea has to offer, EXCLUSIVELY FOR MALAYSIANS!!

If you have not already tried the 4 OG masks Althea has to offer, let me tell you what you are missing out based on my experience with all 4 of em!

the OG fruit masks in peach, lemon-lime, watermelon & avocado!

Ac-Me-Peach Mask: Soothes and helps reduce inflammation when my acne comes for a visit

Water-Me-Long Mask: Showers my occasionally dry but always dehydrated skin with water

Avo-Cuddle-Me Mask: Moisturise and nourishes my skin when it’s flaky and feels tight

Sparkle-Me-Bright Mask: Imparted a radiant glow on my skin tone overall

What about the super exclusive offer that Althea has for us Malaysians? They have a jumbo set comprising of 40 pieces per bundle, 10 pieces each of the range I have listed. On top of that, it delivers locally, meaning that you will be receiving it wayyyyyy earlier than if it were shipped from Korea. 

click here to order the jumbo pack now *ready stock local delivery 2 - 3 working days*

To test how fast the delivery takes compared to the ones directly from Korea, I have decided to take a set myself. The order made was on 10th October, which falls on a Saturday. The parcel was delivered to me on 14th October, which is on a Wednesday. It took just 3 working days to arrive rather than a standard week or more! Get your hands on these lovely babies!
