It's my birth month which means I have a valid excuse reason to justify all the purchases I've made 🙈. Not that it matters but this is a collective haul which means I didn't get them all in one purchase but separately throughout the month and some were gifted by my family. Also, I've already tried a few of the products but some of them I haven't used yet so I won't be reviewing each one but just give you my overall thoughts and first impressions. Moving on, here are the products that I recently got:
I recently received my order from Altheaand I am beyond excited! I got the vitamin box, which is sadly one of their limited edition box sets but I think some of the items can be bought individually at their website. By the way, this post is just a haul and I won't be making any reviews since I've yet to test the products out but I will mention a few first impressions from the two products that I've already tried. Find out what I got in my box below!
I first heard about the Essence Pure Nude Highlighter from my favorite youtuber, Kathleen Lights and of course I was immediately intrigued because first and foremost, Essence is available here in the Philippines, and second it's a drugstore brand which means it's probably inexpensive. I initially looked for it at Watsons but I was informed by the sales lady that it was already discontinued which is a huge bummer but I've seen other girls posting on social media who were still able to buy it so if you're interested and happen to have an Essence counter in your area's Watsons, go check it out. Either way, I ordered mine from here and it arrived in good condition. Now on to my review!
I don't know about you but I love using a mask or a scrub every week in addition to my everyday skin care routine. They are the type of products that are fun to apply and at the same time, they make you feel like you are taking good care of your skin. The products you see above are my top 5 masks and scrubs that I use weekly on rotation depending on how my skin is feeling at that time. I know it might seem a little bit extra but I just really love using these! (I couldn't think of another excuse lol 😄)
I came across these ebay brushes from a youtube video tutorial I watched linked here. You can go check it out if you're curious to see them in action but basically these were shipped from China and I just got them yesterday. It's my first time ordering anything from ebay internationally and somehow I was expecting for it to get destroyed or lost on it's way here because sometimes when you buy online, you never really know. But after waiting for almost two months, I was finally able to get it from the post office yay!
