Personalized Beaute Treatment @ Beauty Works

I have tried the Personalized Beaute Treatment at Beauty Works recently using the voucher I received from WEvents 3 months ago.

It was my first time explore into Sothys facial and I was really looking forward to try it. Beauty Works is located at No 7-19M, Jln Jalil Perkasa 14,Tmn Esplanad, Bkt Jalil. The place is not dificult to find so I reached there on time, a bit earlier than my appointment time.

While I reached Beauty Works, I was greeted by the beautician name Penny. She offered me a cup of green tea before led me into the small little facial room. :P

Like the wall decoration

Although the room is small but it is comfortable. Penny cleaned my face using make-up remover and cleanser. Then my facial was followed with the infamous Sothys Desquacreme(a scrub). According to Penny, the Desquacreme is highly effective in dissolving sebum and facilitating the removal of blackheads. Then I was offered a hot steam before my extraction started.

Penny has 8 years experience thus the extraction was fine. Once my face was cleaned after the extraction, Penny applied the soothing cream with the help of ultrasounds machine. Ultrasound machine would help penetrate the cream into my skin. After that, I have masks to my face and neck. I like it because not all beauty saloon would apply mask to customers' neck. Well after she applied the masks, she massage my neck and shoulder. Her pressure was OK and the massaage was quite relaxing.

Once the massage was done, Penny offered me some time to relax and sleep while waiting for the mask to absorb into my skin. Light music was offered as usual and she dimed down the light for me too.

After some time, Penny cleansed my face again and apply toner, cream and sun block as the last step of the facial.

I noticed that my skin is really brighten and clean after the facial. I believed in Penny and June(The owner of Beauty Works) recommendation thus I have bought the Desquacreme at RM159. With the purchase of Desquacreme, I was offered to buy Sothys seasonal facial at RM65 only. The Vanila Caramel calming treatment sounds cool to me so I bought it as well, made my total spoilt for the day total to RM224. :P

My 1st Sothys skin care ^-^

Eu Yan Sang Puri5, I like it!

I always hesitated to drink any detox drink as the result from my bad experience. I find that most of the detox drinks in the market don't taste good and make me diarrhea. However, I am lucky to find out one that I really like, just recently. It's smell really good, and I like it's taste and structure ~ Eu Yan Sang Puri5.

Protects the body by preventing the accumulation of toxins. Prevents cellular damage. Neutralizes threats caused by environment pollutions to the body.

I've got invited to try the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua last Saturday. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua is ultra-light skin perfecting makeup gives you instant natural radiance with SPF15/PA++

I like the texture and it looks perfectly natural on me. The best part is it didn't made my face oily after applying for a few hours.

Macarons

Copied from Wikipedia - A macaron is a sweet confectionery. Its name is derived from an Italian word "maccarone" or "maccherone". This word is itself derived from ammaccare, meaning crush or beat, used here in reference to the almond paste which is the principal ingredient. It is meringue-based: made from a mixture of egg whites, almond flour, and both granulated and confectionery sugar.

Now we KL folks can have macarons too! Wow, we don't need to fly to France to get it.  :)

I have bought macarons from 3 different bakery and let's see the review from me now.  ;)

1) Whisk Espresso Bar & Bake Shop located at LG 03, Empire Shopping Gallery, Jalan SS16/1, 47500 Subang Jaya. Tel no 03-5022-2060

The mini macaron is selling at RM2 each and with the purchase of 10 pcs, you just need to pay RM18. Their macarons look very cute and nice, and the taste is OK. I would give it 2.5 out of 5 points. Ohya, they are selling the big size macaron at higher price, RM5 each.

2) Babycakes located at The G City Hotel, G.02A Ground Floor, 199 Jalan Tun Razak, 50400 KL. Tel no 012-2190069

Better call to reserve the macarons before you heading to the shop. The macarons prize from RM2.20 to RM2.50 but the size is much more bigger than Whisk. So it's quite worth and the taste is superb, I would give it 3.5 ouf ot 5 points.

3) Nathalie's Gourmet Studio at Unit 4-1-5, Dutamas Solaris, Jalan Dutamas, 50490 KL. Tel no 03-6207-9572

The shop is quite hidden, it's located above Tutti Frutti Dutamas Solaris.

They have many flavors for you to choose and it's always available. Their macarons is nice but I found it a bit too sweet, and a bit expensive, RM4.40 each. I would rate it 3 out of 5 points.
