Althea Korea's Petal Velvet Powder Review!
Hello po! There's a ton of brands available in the market today. And just when I thought all translucent setting powders were the same, along comes Althea Petal Velvet Powder to prove me wrong!
Althea Korea, as we all know, is a Korean online shop that offers great deals and promos, freebies, free shipping, referral points, return policy, and all their items are authentic.
Now on their 2nd Anniversary, they decided to launch their very own range of products, with the flagship being Althea Petal Velvet Powder.
Description from Althea:
Price: Php 210/ 3g powder.
Made in Korea.
Ingredients:
ALTHEA FLOWER (Hibiscus Syriacus) seed extract, Silica, Mica, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Methicone, Hydrogenated Lecithin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Glyceryl Caprylate, Maltodextrin, Fragrance.
My review:
If I'm being honest, I totally love Althea Velvet Powder! From the fragrance to its functionality, it's totally worth it!
Each pat with Althea Velvet Powder was pure bliss. It has a light floral fragrance that makes powder time a pleasurable experience, plus it has skin-friendly ingredients!
At first, I thought that there was minimal contents in its small tub, but I soon found out that a little goes a long way. Just one pat and the face already looks velvety.
However, since I have problematic skin (ehem, enlarged pores and acne scars), instead of dusting a sheer veil, I decided to use the puff to pat on MULTIPLE layers. But guess what? It did not feel heavy or cakey!
Even when I went outside to test it and I got sweaty due to all that walking, it lasted me the whole day. By night, there was just a bit of dewiness on the some areas like the cheek, nose and forehead, but my face was not a giant oil slick.
There are some HD powders that are not flash photography-friendly (gives white patches, hello Nicole Kidman accident), so I tested this alone without any other product/bb cream underneath, used the camera flash, and behold! There was no white cast/flashback in my face in the pic (just make sure to have blended well)!
The packaging may be pink and simple, but SIMPLY PERFECT sure is an apt way to describe it!
Update:
Check out Althea Korea's second baby - Bare Essentials skincare 3 step
also Althea Petal Velvet now has 3 colors - #0, #23 and pink lavender
Update: More colors were added including Limited Edition Sunny Coral, #21P Sheer Beige and #27 Honey Beige!
In conclusion:
I would definitely recommend Althea Korea Petal Velvet Powder! It should be a staple in your makeup drawer or pouch, ladies! Thanks for reading! :)

Powder is finely milled; shot with flash.

Now that's amazing! And the baby Althea box is so cute! I want to try it too but not for now. This have to wait for a month or two. I still have a lot of things to save up for. But i will definitely get this!
ReplyDeleteHI +Jhake O. Yes the packaging really is cute! And of course, more important things are a priority, but I would suggest when budget permits, get their boxes, there is a lot of products in it for a php 1000 price. it is more sulit, like you save 70% or more! Then you can add this powder to cart. Para free shipping :) Thanks for dropping by!
