Althea's DIY Birthday Box

Hey Altheans! We've been having a blast so far in the month of July, and we've just been reeling in the amazing festivities! We hope you've been enjoying yourself too, and that you've gotten a thing or two out of it as well. We couldn't leave this year's birthday celebration without doing a limited edition birthday box to show you guys, so we've decided to have a special little tea party with the whole Glam Squad to celebrate Althea turning 2!

Dr. Mind Grand Opening

Oh no, redness and troubled spots appearing on your complexion again? Sensitivities can sometimes be calmed by a little hydration, but sometimes we need some professional help. Enter Dr. Mind, Althea's latest beauty offering! We're super excited that this brand launches today and we can't wait to share this well-loved brand.

Dr. Mind is a brand that puts a clinical dose into their beauty products. Following their philosophy of "Mind" and "Consumers", Dr. Mind believes in healthy skin and works to target skin issues faced by consumers, providing solutions from a medical perspective, so you know that their stuff works for sure. With the latest technology and patents, Dr. Mind is always on the search for ingredients and techniques that not only pacify skin issues, but work to eliminate them too.

There are two main ranges from Dr. Mind: the Pore range and the AC/Apot range. Let's talk a little bit about the former first. The Pore range consists of skincare and face makeup products that are suited for oily skin and those with enlarged pores. These products consists of skincare staples that work to exfoliate away dead skin cells and control the oil-to-water balance of the skin for an even, healthy complexion. This skincare range consists of fundamentals that include the Pore Peel Deep Cleansing Foam, Toner, Water Gel Cream, Balm and the Pore Sebum Cushion.

The AC/Apot range works to soothe redness and irritations of the skin. Made with calming but effective ingredients like bee venom and sea salt extracts, this range targets troubles and works to evens out the skin tone for a healthy, radiant glow. This range consists of treatment products including the AC Dressing Mist, Clear Cover Cream, Peeling Pads, Zinc Powder and Apot Clear Roll On.

Dr. Mind products are currently on sale at Althea (just search for Dr. Mind) and for a limited time, you could get yourself a free Apot Red Mask and Apot Clear soap (while stocks lasts). Psst, there's also a 20% discount code to be found on the site right now, but you didn't hear that from me. ;) Which items are you most excited to try out from Dr. Mind? Be sure to let us know in the comments down below!

Have a magical day!

Interview with Tehmina Kaoosji

Tehmina Kaoosji has it all: beauty, brains, and brawn to kick your butt too! A model, actress, emcee and producer, Tehmina has appeared in numorous films and graced the pages of countless magazines, but is best known for her role as Sara in Sara Is Missing (a brilliant horror-based game that has even big YouTubers like Markiplier and Jackscepticeye talking!). When she's not in front of the camera, she's spending her time reading up on world affairs or hunting down and plotting out the next big story. We manage to catch a moment in her hectic routine and sat her down to find out some of her secrets to beauty and life. Curious? Read on!

Here's what we got when we tried it out.

Half Moon Eyes Pink Fruity

We know how addictive masking can be, and while we usually settle for a conveniently packed sheet mask, sometimes it pays to get our hands dirty. To inject a little life into our regime, we've gotten said hands on some of Half Moon Eyes' Pink Fruity Pack! We couldn't wait to try out this lovely pink number to see how it would fare on our faces.
