So yesterday i finally received my parcel from Althea. This is my 1st purchased ever from them.
Saja-saja nak tukar angin since the items yang i purchased are slightly cheaper compared to Hermo.
My first impression about Althea is that, the packaging is sooooo cute. Its pink!!!
Im obsessed with anything pink now so to compare with Hermo's packaging, memang kalah la Hermo.
Duration?
But the downside about Althea is that, it takes about 8 days to arrive. Well its kind of understandable because the shipped the parcel straight from Korea.
Meanwhile, Hermo takes about 3 days to arrive.
Free Shipping?
And for Althea, you only eligible for free shipping if you spend rm99 and above, which is quite a lot to spend if you ask me.
But for Hermo, they offer you free shipping if u buy 2 items and above,
regardless the amount you spend
Price & Products?
In term of price wise, certain products are way cheaper at Althea when compared with Hermo.
Lately i rasa macam Hermo punye harga quite unreasonable.
They put the 'original' price quite high and acah2 discount banyak but the price is still much expensive when you compare with others site.
This is my personal view je!
But its undeniable that Hermo offers you with more variety brands & products compare to Althea.
Certain brand from Althea, i macam tak pernah dengar pun brand tu wujud so tak berani nak try.
Anddddd paling turn off about Althea is that they do not carry COSRX! PYUNKANG YUL!
Hopefully in future they will lah because Cosrx is my bae
Items that i bought?
⏩MISSHA TIME REVOLUTION (1ST TREATMENT ESSENCE) RM 135
⏩ETUDE HOUSE (SUNPRISE MUST DAILY) RM 25
⏩SKIN FOOD (RICE WASH OFF MASK) RM 18
⏩SKIN FOOD (BLACK SUGAR STRAWBERRY MASK WASH OFF) RM 27
So, my overall thought about Althea is that, ok not so bad.
Another good option to shop Korean brand products other than Hermo.
However, before purchasing anything from both website, always compare the price 1st.
If there is mark different in term of the price, then i dont mind to wait a bit longer for my items to arrive.
for reading!
