Althea, the leading online store that caters most of our k-beauty needs, finally comes up with its own brand product. Starting off strong, they are introducing the Althea Petal Velvet Powder.
According to Althea, this debuting beauty is made with micro-fine particles that minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines to reveal a flawless and petal-like complexion. Its translucent and perfecting qualities also create a satin finish that mattifies without dehydrating the skin. To be honest, I am not a loose powder user until this one. 
Ingredients: SILICA, MICA, VINYL DIMETHICONE/METHICONE SILSESQUIOXANE CROSSPOLYMER, DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER, METHICONE, HIBISCUS SYRIACUS SEED EXTRACT, HYDROGENATED LECITHIN, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, GLYCERYL CAPRYLATE, MALTODEXTRIN, FRAGRANCE
Size: 3g
Types: All skin types
Color: Translucent
Application: Pick up product with a brush or puff provided and gently sweep onto the skin.
What I like:
- It’s lightweight and travel-wise.
- Made from natural ingredients.
- Just like its name, Althea, it smells like a fresh flower but is very gentle to those who have a sensitive nose.
- Its staying power is amazing. Mine lasted the entire day so I really didn’t have to reapply.
- It makes my skin looks bright and smooth.
- The powder is finely milled and is velvety.
- No breakouts, allergies or irritations.
- Doesn’t create unpleasant white cast especially during flash photography.
- It comes with a super soft puff. You can use a brush, though, depends on where you are comfortable.
What I don’t like:
- It’s only 3G, too small for an everyday use.
- It’s only available online.
Will I repurchase? Definitely, YES! I don’t wear makeup every day but using this powder to set my day cream and sunscreen is super amazing. It’s only 210 php, around $4. You just have to ditch the right amount of powder to use and it will go a long way. Highly recommend to those who love using loose powder.

I have never hear of this make up brand before. Your photos make it look so big! I can definitely use all the help I can get to hide my pores though. That price is super affordable too.
I loooove hearing about new things! I am such a beauty and wellness junkie. This looks amazing
I love the packaging looks so pretty, thank you for the review.
That powder really does sound velvety. I wear powder even when I don’t wear foundation so I might have to try it. I love that it’s all natural.
Love the name and the minimalistic branding. I haven’t tried it but I would love to!
Such a great review. I will have to try this.

I have never hear about this powder and brand. You look beautiful in the images. Thanks for sharing this review.
I love the packaging. Also, it’s lightweight and can be carried around easily. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll look into this product.
The powder sounds great. The packaging looks so simple and pretty, I love it. Thanks for sharing.
I love this review. My women group were just discussion products that help minimize the look of fine lines and give us a flawless look. I’m sharing this with the group. Althea is worth trying out.
Pretty product. The pros you mention make it sound like a good purchase. I don’t really wear loose powder, or any makeup really. But I like that it’s light and it lasts. Great review!
It seems this petal velvet powder is a soft product to use on skin.I always like Althea products…
I love that there are no breakouts. I always use powder to minimize pores and have to be very careful about my skin reacting. I should give this brand a try.
Looks and sounds like an amazing product. It’s not a bad price either, I may have to just order some! I really like that it’s all natural and won’t affect my skin with irritation.
This looks like something I would love ty for the review and sharing!
It definitely has a nice name. I don’t really use powders, but I’ve been needing something to reduce shine and make my skin look nice for my HealthyPlace videos. Thanks for the recommendation.
This powder sounds amazing. It’s so hard I feel like to find a powder that does irritate my skin or cause me break outs. I do hate when I can only buy a product online. I prefer to be able to get a 360 view of my makeup before I purchase it.
