Dresslink Top and Swimwear Haul + Review

Remember my Dresslink wish list which I posted a few weeks ago? Dresslink just made my dreams come true by sending me each and every item on that list. I know that you're all looking forward to outfit posts but I'd rather review everything first so you could decide whether or not to buy at Dresslink. 🙂

What I love most about Dresslink is their extremely cheap prices. Their clothes go as low as $2 and up depending on the item you would get. Based on my previous shopping experience with similar sites, there's a hit or miss chance when it comes to shopping with them. It's like taking a risk because sometimes the products are great (perfect fit and material), sometimes so-so (like wrong sizes, or poor quality). But no one's complaining cause more often than not they are actually okay!

Anywayyyyy, here's my small haul! The first thing I got was a Blue Printed Off Shoulder Top (US$ 3.56). This one's my favorite among all of the items that I got. It is lightweight and perfect for summer. The fabric's breathable. I was worried that it would be too cropped. This one has a perfect length and not too short. The garter for the shoulders looks like it would loosen up after a few used but that's something you can remedy. I got a large (Asian medium size), but it perfectly fits my small frame lol.

Love the print!

Garter doesn't look sturdy, but that's no biggie for me

Another item that I got was a Black off shoulder Top (now US$3.33, but I got it on sale for US$2.64). I am a huge fan of off shoulder tops and this one did not disappoint me! It has a nice flattering fit.The fabric's stretchable but goes thin (yet opaque and looks quite shiny) when stretched. I would order one size up if they had sizes but this one comes in only one size. This one's for those who are accustomed to wearing small or extra small clothes.

Women Get Empowered All Around With NEW! PRIVA Perfect Care 2-in-1 Feminine Wash

The modern-day woman does not settle for anything less than perfect. From her style, to her look, down to every single detail there is to notice about her, she likes to take things up a notch. When it comes to her personal care products, she expects the same level up. Her intimate care needs are no different. In fact, Priva® is made precisely for the woman who wants more—and gets it! From the makers of pH Care, the Priva® line is the advanced whitening feminine wash used for everyday care of the modern-day woman’s intimate area with added benefits that specifically address her needs.

Priva® partnered with the ChicDriven Women Empowerment Expo last July 16 to 17 at the Glorietta Activity Center in Ayala Center, Makati City. The expo was exactly the venue that drew Priva® women together: the ones who aspire for more and want to level up. With the “chic driven” woman in mind, the expo intended to “share, inspire, and empower women to truly have it all.” Since Priva®‘s latest variant, Perfect Care 2-in-1, highlights that same unbridled and uncompromised need of women to enjoy perfect intimate care, it came in as the perfect partner for the ChicDriven Women Empowerment Expo.

#AltheaTurns1: Pioneer of K-Beauty in SEAsia celebrates 1st Birthday!

With its daebak deals, awesome prices, and wide range of products, there is no wonder why Althea Korea is currently celebrating a successful 1st year. If you haven't heard of Althea yet (and I highly doubt it), it is a wonderful shopping land where you can get your K-Beauty fix and have it shipped from Korea to your doorsteps. You also get free shipping for orders over PHP1,500, 30 Days Unconditional Return and products are 100% guaranteed Authentic. Their awesome services are currently available in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore.

Instead of receiving gifts for their birthday, we (bloggers) were the ones who received presents and got first dibs on their great birthday deals. Before heading to that, let me show you first my Althea Korea haul! You could say that I currently have a Korean skin care addiction.

I hoarded Nature Republic Aloe Vera 92% Soothing Gel (₱180) and The Face Shop Rice & Ceramide Moisture Toner (₱190). I've been using aloe gel on my face for months now, but it's my first time using Nature Republic's. It's also my first time to use The Face Shop's toner so I'm looking forward as to how these will work for me.

I got the Piolang 4D Pore Balance Foam & Pack (₱240) as a night cleanser to replace my The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Cream when it goes empty. I also got the It's My Daily Sun Cream (₱240) to replace my Nivea Sun Cream. I am hoping this one's not as sticky and heavy as the latter.

I initially wanted the Innisfree Jeju Blackhead Balm but I got the MeFactory 3 Step Pig Nose Pack (₱80) instead. I'll probably try the former on my next Althea haul. Lastly, I got the It's My Nail-Nippers (₱120) and Red the SAEM Saemmul Real Tint (₱190) for my sister. I think I should have gotten one of those tints for myself.

I also got Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Foam samples as freebies! Honestly, there are tons of products that I still wanted to try such as Laniege BB Cushion, Innisfree Volcanic Black Head Out Balm, and more. I'll definitely get them when I need to restock on my staple products.

If you have noticed, the box my products were in is different from the usual pink (or purple or green) Althea box.  It's because Althea Korea is launching its Limited Edition Birthday Box (same as the one I got) + DIY Party Kit on the 20th of July onwards. This will be included in orders placed on that day onwards until supplies last.

Also from the 20th until the 31st of July, free goodies will be given for first 1,500 shoppers. These will be full size beauty products and until while stocks last. For its birthday giveaway, just pick 3 Top Sellers to get 100% REBATE! The rebate will be credited into your account.

Lastly, you may take part in the #AltheaTurns1 Instagram Contest. Joining is really simple! Got your Althea party kit? Wish Althea Korea a happy birthday by using the hashtag #altheaturns1. Up for grabs are  a chance to wiamazing prizes such as Macbook Air, Ipad Air 2, iPhone 6S, Galaxy S6 Edge, Canon EOS M10 Selfie Camera, Althea credits and beauty hampers from Althea! Prizes total worth KRW10,000,000 are up for grabs. You may send in your entries from the 20th July until the 15th August, 2016.
