Are they cute? Did you know that these puffs are made for our face not for us to eat? They are the first makeup tool from Althea Korea's A'bloom collection. It was inspired by baking meringue cookies. Achieve the perfect skin makeup with the lovely, cute pastel pink color and cookie-shaped meringue puff.
Introducing the Giant Meringue Puff
The texture of this product is soft and once you soaked with some water it will expand. I know that you are asking why does it was shaped like this unlike any other beauty sponges available on the market. Well personally for me it is kinda cute, you can apply your make up base perfectly using the bottom flat part of the puff while the small peak can help you blend around your nose and eyes area.
Align with the big meringue puff, they also added some small puffs, which is perfect for the under eye area and eyes.
Pros:
The price point Big Meringue puff cost 100 pesos only compare to other leading brands in the market. While small puffs cost 140 pesos. You can visit Althea Korea Website for more details.
It is so soft and fluffy.
It easily blends out foundation
Cons:
Being a product that is so soft, I needed to use more product/ foundation because they absorb it so quickly.
I have a hard time blending in between the eyes and nose. I need to squeeze out the sponge for it to fit.

Althea Korea is serving us with a lot of new products for our delicate skin. Now I'm sharing with you this unique and irresistible peel mask which have many nutrients to help improve our skin conditions.
Milk Peel Cream Mask
Its active ingredients are AHA & BHA which help to peel off dead skin cells for smoother skin. It contains Casein Protein (milk) to provide moisture and help the skin to stay moisturized all day. It has a soft clay-like texture that bubbles up when massaged on damp skin to deeply cleanse the pores. It is also cruelty-free!
So I'm sharing with you my experienced upon using this product.
Starting off, my face is oily and have some dark spots. Sorry for my pimple marks and pimple.
1. I splash some water on my face to dampen it
2. Pump enough product to your hands and lather it to your skin. In addition, I rather use a spatula to spread it all over my face. I think in this way the bubble will be not yet activated.
3. Wait a couple of seconds about 30-60 seconds. In those times, while the bubble is building up you can feel that weird sensation all over your face. It is the time where the nutrients penetrate on our skin.
4. Wash your face with a warm/lukewarm water. My personal tip, create a circular motion with your hands and massage your face.
Verdict
I make my skin soft and smoother after washing and it brightens my dull skin. I will update you on my follow up blog for this one. Overall I'm in love with all of the products that I got from Althea. The Milk Peel Cream Mask is now available on Althea.kr at 10% off for USD8 (normal price USD9). For more information on the product, please visit the product page HERE.
