Althea's Petal Velvet Sunaway SPF50+ PA++++ Review


Thanks to my fair skin (not complaining), I was taught to care for my skin with sunscreen since my high school years. My mom made sure I never skipped this routine especially before any outdoor activities.

So, it's safe to say that throughout the years, I've tried many different types of sunscreen. Now, it's a habit for me to apply sunscreen on my face before I leave home no matter where I'm going. Of course, I have my favourite type which is something that gives moisture but not oily, and something that doesn't smell like sunscreen, if possible.



So, how does this Althea's Petal Velvet Sunaway fair in my books? Check out the video first impressions below for a better look of this product!

Althea Petal Velvet Sunaway SPF50+ PA++++ 

For more info about the product itself, do check out Althea's website as there's no point for me to repeat the specifics of this product on my blog.

It claims to be a lightweight sunscreen that protects the skin from UV rays with a petal-like finish. I do agree it's lightweight but I have tried other sunscreen that's ever more lightweight. Those are the kind that's super liquidy, almost water like consistency.

This Petal Velvet Sunaway is nothing like that. The consistency feels almost thin gel-like that melt as it comes in contact with your skin. The cool part about this is that it really is quite hydrating. It's surprising cause it's said to be able to control excessive sebum, automatically, you'll think this is gonna be drying for sure. Darn was I wrong, this comes with hyaluronic acid that actually works, my skin felt good and hydrated without the stickiness!


Additionally, the formula is smooth and applies like a dream. It doesn't leave any white streaks. It's said to have an advanced non-chemical UV filter which made the formula more transparent. I'm not sure what that means but I hope it helps with not having white cast in flash photography because some sunscreen do have such issue. 

Finally, this sunscreen smells amazing! Rose usually aren't my favourite in skincare products because it's one of those scents that you either gets it right to just completely wrong. Some rose infused products don't smell as good as others and especially if it's an all natural product, rose scented products can get rancid pretty quickly. Thankfully, this is one that smells wonderful. Thus, with that, it ticks everything in my perfect sunscreen requirement list. I love it!


*UPDATE*: They've recently sent me an email stating that they've mistakenly mentioned Hyaluronic Acid as one of the product’s key ingredients when it should not be as it is not included in the product during development. Though, this doesn't affect my thoughts on this product, I still love it. :)

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.
