Review: Althea Petal Velvet Powder



A few months ago, Althea launched their first product which is the Petal Velvet Powder. I did not get their powder at first because I already make a huge haul a month before they launched it. Now they launched a new shade and its make me feel like this is the right time to try both of it so that I can compare which one better for my own used. So here the review for both powder, #0 Translucent and #23 Natural (Just realised that they changed it to WARM BEIGE).

That is the packaging for both of the powder. A clear plastic body with pink lid. Very minimalist design that at first I thought it was a glass body. The price is only RM16 for 15g of product! I was so shock because the price is so affordable for a setting powder in general. 
Althea said that this powder can minimize pore appearance and sebum control. In addition it also give the satin finish that matte the skin without dehydrating it. It is made from natural ingredients and cruelty free. 

The swatches of both powder. For the natural, it is light golden brownish colour while the translucent is straight out white powder. Both of it blend so well into skin. For me, I really prefer the natural/warm beige shade to bake my face while the translucent shade to set my make up. If you using the puff provided, do use it light handed because I made a mistake and put too much on my face. That is why I am using a face brush to apply it in order to avoid more powder that will result in cakey make up. 
It also have good sebum control but my face do become oily after 4 hours as my face tends to be oily throughout the day. So I don't mind because it still does it job in keeping my face less oily than usual. It did not minimise my pore, maybe because I do have a large pores but it also did not highlighting my pores (As some powder do that).  I can reapply this powder easily  as it is small and easy to carry in the bag. Also it come with cute puff so the application won't become any issue here.
The powder has the soft flowery smell so keep in mind that if you did not like any smell linger around your nose you might need to skip this powder. BUT... the smell was not that strong and I feel that it is very relaxing. I just highlight about the smell because I know that some people did not like the smell in the powder or in any make up in general.
My face after the application.

My face after 5 hours of application.
Pros:
-Affordable
-Soft & light weight powder
-Easy to blend
-Great sebum control
-Easy to carry & have puff for easy reapplication

Cons:
-Have scent 
-Did not minimise pore

So my final verdict is I highly recommend the Translucent ones because it can be used by everyone and it will not make your foundation colour changed.

If you want to see how I apply the powder, feel free to watch the video on my channel:

ALTHEA X WLAB Special Gift Box

Its been a long time, Happy New Year and advanced Lunar New Year. So I want to make  a review on this Exclusive Box from Althea.KR which is Althea X Wlab Gift Box. So let's read my review or if you did not want to, just go watch my video below:


So what you get in this box? You get 6 items which are 
📌Wlab Water Beam Mask
📌Wlab Honey Beam Mask
📌Wlab W-Cushion Snow BB 50spf++ (23 Coton Beige)
📌Wlab Pocket Shadow Pallete(Edge)
📌Wlab Twinkle Glam Eyes (05 Glam Chocola)
📌Wlab Velvet Color Stick (02 Noble Red)

It has medium coverage (at least in my opinion) with 50spf+++  which is good for day wearing as Malaysia so hot and sun shine bright along with UV light. The only downside of this BB Cushion is, it too fair on me even it is in the darkest shade for the range which is #23. Thus I need to bronze my face to warm it a little bit or if not, I will looks like a ghost hahahaha.
I love this lipstick as I am a huge fan for red colour lipstick. It is very moisturising and have velvet finish. The colour so intense but it leave stains since it is moisturising. Is it long wearing? I need to try to wear this colour for a day soon and will let you know more. for now I guess, you need to reapply it after a few hours since it is easily slide off from your lip. lip liner is encourage to be pair with this lipstick.

This edge palette is extremely pigmented and the colour pay off from the brushes so amazing! First time I try this eyeshadow, I put lots on my brush as sometimes shadow not so pigmented on brush BUT this eye shadow super pigmented! It has butter kind of texture which is soft and not have lots of fly off or dust (whatever you called it) It also blend well on my crease. The shades choice really compliment to my dark brown eyes as it enhance my eyes colour.

This gliterry shadow really pigmented and has sort of creamy texture so it blends well without any glitter dust. Even glitter eyeshadow is not a thing that I like but this one really catch my heart as it is easy to use. Doesnt slide off easily as it stay on my lid.

P/s: So for the sheet masks, I still didnt wear it. So if I wear it, the photos will be updated here along with my review.

Below is my full face make up using those products. Tutorial is in Video form, so feel free to watch it.
Happy Watching and thank you for reading my post😃😃

ALTHEA.Kr Christmas Wish List : Aira Amir

Hello everyone! So for today entry, I am joining contest from Althea.Kr website! 
Link below::::
Althea.Kr
You know how much I love Althea from the boxes that I kept, I have like 5 boxes and more to come this Christmas! I can't wait for my althea box to come and hoping that I will win this contest. 
*Pray for me🙋* 
Oh yes, I will keep uploading my Althea haul video soon since my recent bought just arrived. so stay tuned at my Youtube Channel ---> Aira Amir
Since I am having a bad skin condition lately so my wish box will be full with skincare, which is a little bit different because I AM A MAKE UP JUNKIES! But damage has be made, and I am now minimise myself from too much of make up. Healing my face from all the problems is hard!
So let's get started!
The first item that I be longing for is Banila Co Clean It Zero. In order to get a better skin I believe that we need a good make up remover, and this hands up the most excellent remover as it give you a clean face effect! Its works pretty amazing guys!

Onsaemeein Skin Solution Magic Powder also on one of my list as I really need this product to get rid my acne forever! clear skin help make up to apply better and look gorgeous!

Only God KNOW how much I hate my pore! So large and my foundation hardly to apply and cover up the pore! Thus, I really believe that SkinMiso Pore Corset Serum will help to shrink my pores and permanently destroyed it! Hopefully...
For eyes, I really want to try Saem Iceland Micro Hydrating Eye Stick. Apart from its cute packaging, I really want to feel its formula as it help to hydrate under eyes where easily get dry and cakey the concealer.

In addition of that, I also want Etude House Eye's Cream Mint Cooling to at least give me a fresh under eye and minimise my eyebag that getting bigger day by day due to my hard time as a student!
For lip care, I want the Secret Key Chubby Sweet Rip Scrup since I did not get a chance to get this as its already sold out by the time I make a haul on Althea. So by winning this contest I can get this scrub that I really want!
Innisfree Green Tea Sleeping Pack is one of the skincare that I want as we know that our skin repaired itself during we sleep, so we need to have a good sleeping pack to help our skins better, I love green tea and I know this sleeping mask is good for my skin!
I need eye patch to minimise my eyebag and Petitfee Gold & EGF Eye Spot Patch sounds good to reduce it. Moreover this product really popular in Korean Beauty World, so why not give it a try? 
Lastly, a skincare will not complete without a mask so I really want to try Skinfood Black Sugar Honey Mask Wash Off as I believe apart from removing dead skin, honey also good for prone skin. Thus I will get lots of beneficial from this product!


So that is it for my Christmas Wish List and I realy HOPE that Santa Althea will make my dream comes true. So I believe that I have to keep on wishing. 
Oh yes all the items can be purchased on Althea.Kr website and link already be attached above. Love from Aira😘
P/s: Sorry for the long post🙄

Velvet Vanity Blood Wasted Matte Lipstick Review!

So hello everyone!
Recently I bought matte liquid lipstick from Velvet Vanity.
One of my friends introduce this brand to me and I thanks her a lot!
I bought shade Blood Wasted as its the only shade that available and on discount!!!
I just pay RM35 and no shipping cost as it free postage😆
Blood wasted is deepest red colour and give me the bold looks. *seriously one of my university staff greet me😅 because of this lipstick while my friends said I looks like a witch*
This brand is vegan free make up brand and made up from natural ingredients such as coconut oil.
So lets get started on the review;
Consistency obviously a liquid but dont put on a lots of this as it will get messy. Real messy *watch my youtube video below*
Smell, it smells like a chocolate and sweet. I love the smell and feel like want to eat those lipstick😂
Stain yes this lipstick does stain on my cup BUT after all Asam Pedas for lunch it still didnt vanish and still hold up but not as bright as first time you put on your lip.
*I forgot to take the photo after lunch*
Pigmentation This colour screams my name when I first saw it and I was like; I need to get this. I love the pigmentation as you dont need to apply tons of layer as the colour is pigmented itself.
Lightweight Yes it didnt feel anything on my lip as it so light and not drying my lip.
As it mentioned on packaging box, you have to exfoliate your lip first so you will get the best looks. *Dry and crack lip not good for matte lipstick*
It come in this little box with a card.
