NEW!!! Althea’s A’Bloom Collection Review!

Althea has been on a roll by giving us new, quirky and great products. They recently launched the A’bloom line! A’bloom is all about delivering fresh, fast and funky K-beauty products, and they started off with 3 delightful goodies for us to play with!

A’bloom Sheet Masks: Available in 4 fruity flavors, these masks have a 2-in-1 formula consisting of fruit extracts rich in antioxidants and plant extracts for added hydration.
A’bloom Meringue Puffs: Available in 2 sizes that look cute enough to eat (baby & giant), these makeup puffs help create the perfect complexion and can be used both dry and wet for different finishes.
A’bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster: The hottest K-beauty trend. This is a non-irritating, triple-care pore stick. Easy to carry and apply. Only 30 seconds is needed to get all that junk out of your (nose’s) trunk!

Let’s start off with my favorite product from the A’Bloom line, the A’bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster!

Price: 200 pesos (8 Grams) Where to Buy? CLICK HERE

The A’bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster is a blackhead and whitehead removal stick with Natural BHA. It has a gentle and non-irritating formula that treats and prevents new ones from forming.

I tested this BHA stick without high hopes thinking that it will not work for me. I do not trust products easily unless they are highly-rated or they have top praises from trusted people and websites. To my surprise, IT WORKS! See below.

After just one use, my pores were cleared up. I did not have to scrub my nose to remove the gunk. I washed my face first, lathered the product gently onto my skin and then rinsed my face with lukewarm water. For 200 pesos, this product is SO WORTH IT!

Next products are the A’bloom Meringue Puffs.

There are two sizes for the A’bloom Meringue Puffs – Baby & Giant. 

GIANT MERINGUE PUFF (1 Piece)

Price: 100 pesos only! Full-size: 48*46mm

Irresistibly sweet and versatile puff to use dry or wet.
Extra large size ensures quick and even application.
Key ingredient High-density latex-free foam.

*Should be replaced after 3 months.

BABY MERINGUE PUFF (3 Pieces)

Price: 140 pesos only! Full-size 30*28mm

A pack of three irresistibly sweet and versatile puffs to use dry or wet.
Multi-angle puffs that blend easily for perfect detailed application.
Key ingredient High-density latex-free foam.

*Should be replaced after 3 months.

The narrow part is used for detailed makeup for the eyes, nose, lips and curved parts of the face while the wide part is used to cover the overall wide area of the face.

For dewy effect: Soak the puff in running water. Gently squeeze out the water. Use the puff to complete your base makeup.

For matte effect: Use the puff dry for a matte effect.

My Thoughts: I have used a lot of makeup sponges to apply my base and other cream and liquid makeup so I did not expect much from this meringue puffs but, I can never forget how soft these puffs are when I first used them! I used the Giant puff wet when I applied my foundation and concealer and it worked just fine. Some products soaked into the puff but not too much because I still got the coverage that I needed on my face. Used dry, it gave a matte effect and the product applied more pigmented as the sponge did not soak much of the foundation. I recommend these puffs because they are affordable, soft and work as they claimed. These puffs are going to be a staple inside my makeup kit.

My Thoughts:

I am really happy with the amount of essence inside the face mask. I’ve tried the A’BLOOM MOISTURIZING WATERMELON MASK first and I am impressed because it really moisturized my skin well and my face felt soft, supple and plump for hours. I woke up with my skin still feeling moisturized. I did not experience any irritation and did not have any new pimple or blemish that came up. I don’t remember any strong scent and I really appreciate that. The same amount of essence is found on the other variants and to sum it all, I really recommend these masks because they are affordable but do not skimp on the quality.

Those are all the new Althea A’Bloom products. I am really lucky to have tried them first to share my experience with you all. These products are totally worth the price. You can purchase these products at https://ph.althea.kr/exclusive-brands/a-bloom
