CLEO Heroin Makeup Hamper Giveaway

OMG, there are missing items in the Hamper that I received in July for the Heroin Make Cosmetic Hamper. I really did not realise until I saw someone posted in their FB page. No email was send to me either until I send them an email asking for it. And guess what, 7 items are missing from it!

I thought it will be something better to make up for the missing items but was quite disappointed when I got the replacement. Almost all the items are for lips when their focus for their items are on the eyes.

However, I am glad that they did try to make up for the missing items.

2nd Aura Day Spa Slimming Treatment

I went for the Lipo Slim treatment which I have made purchase for. I was attend by the same Spa Therapist (Ms Candy) This treatment takes about 30 mins + 10 mins massage on the tummy area. Honestly, I do not like this treatment at all.
First of all, I have to bear with the noise the machine omits out. It is kind of irritating to the ear. The noise is TOO strong for my ears to handle.
Ms Candy did the same thing by doing one side of my tummy first to show me the difference it does after the treatment, but I really don't see any.
I also don't like the stinging feeling it does to my tummy. It feels like being sting by some insect.

After the whole process, I only like the massage Ms Candy did to my tummy. Opps waste money again! :)

Anyway, I will be going for the LPG treatment again. Update again...




Waiting area



Aura Day Spa Slimming Treatment

Cozycot members are able to enjoy a 1 time treatment at Aura Day Spa for either a Customized Face Spa or a Customized Slender Slimming Spa at $28.00 during this GSS promotion.

I choose the Slender Slimming Spa that they offer, and I was given a treatment for 30 mins LPT + 15 mins massage. Although there is this Lucky draw indicted on the link, after checking with the sales person in Aura Day Spa, you must sign up for their package for at least $2800 to be eligible for the Lucky draw. (No indication was written)

However, when I enter the SPA, I was quite please with the atmosphere. The area is very big. It is a one-stop premier destination with over 10,000 square feet, 29 rooms and a Relaxation Lounge for spatial relaxation. It caters to various needs and requirements of everyone. With cream and neutral colors, the ambience encourages tranquility and sets the stage for a complete renewal of the soul.

The room that I was using have a walk in wardrobe with a shower room and a full size mirror. I love this setting. The Spa therapist (Ms.Candy) uses the machine that gives out heat and smooth it on my tummy and waist area. She start on one side of the tummy to let me see the effect it does on me. I can see the amazing effect it does to me even after 15mins treatment, my waist area seems to have a shape and the tummy area are not so flabby. A pity no photo is taken during the process. After using the machine for 30 mins, Ms Candy uses the Serum (Ampule)  which cost an extra $68.00 to massage onto my tummy which is say to have the effect of burning the fats in me for as long as 24 hours. **She is kind enough to free me a cold mask for my tummy for 10mins. **

After the whole process, the sales manager sells me the package which cost $1888 for 10+1 treatment. I find it too expensive so I did not sign up for that. BUT I sign up for another 3 session to try out the other treatment which she recommended to me. It cost another $378.00, a trip to the SPA means that the pocket have to have a hole.

Update again for the other treatment that I will be going for.

The GSS promotion is still on until 31 July 2012. Call 6747 5132 and quote FG2020 for appointment.

Mentholatum Organic lip balm

I received a Lip Balm sponsorship from Mentholatum Lip Ice to try out their new Organic lip balm that is made with 100% natural origin, 97.84% from organic farming.

Since April 2012, Japan’s #1 Lipcare brand, Mentholatum Lip Care, has launched its new organic lip balm with the Highest Eco-Cert accreditation:

• Mentholatum Organic lip balm in Lavender & Orange flavour

• Mentholatum Organic lip balm in Raspberry & Strawberry flavour 

Raspberry & Strawberry

Lavender & Orange

Using a nourishing blend of natural oils from renowned organic farms globally, its creamy and non-sticky texture glides on smoothly for soft,silky lips.

The active ingredients are:

2. Spanish Organic Oil --> Fights ageing & prevents chapped lips

Open up

After I tried both the lip balm, I find that Raspberry & Strawberry does not have any strong scent. No fruity smell at all. But after I glide it on my lips, I can feel the smoothness it does to my lips.

As for the Lavender & Orange flavor, I can smell the Lavender and I love this scent it brings out freshness in me. It helps to repair dry chapped lips and minimize the appearance of fine lines with Vitamin E included.

Magic Eyes Shadow

On my way back home, I saw something that caught my eyes. The Magic Eye Shadow is selling at only $1.00 per pair at this Cart store. I bought 8 pair to try.

How to apply Magic Eye:

Step 1: Apply
Important: Close your eyelid, then raise your eyebrow to give a flat surface for better application. Using both hands hold the Eye Magic applicator on the base of the eyelid for approx 4 seconds.
Step 2: Slide
Then by applying comfortable pressure, slide the applicator across your eyelid in the appropriate direction to achieve a sharp look.
Hint: To avoid outlines, use the back of the applicator to blend or tone the applied area for a softer look.
Step 3: Go
To achieve a different look you can also apply a second applicator of a different color over the existing eye shadow to achieve a new unique style.
Tip: Any user error can easily be rectified by blending with the back of the applicator.

FIRST BKK TRIP

I'm SO much excited about this trip that I have went to in Feb 2012. It was my FIRST trip to BKK, FIRST time going overseas with colleagues and FIRST time going away from home after so many years.

So MANY FIRST time!!! Hopefully there is going to be a second and third time!

We stay at P2 Boutiqu Hotel which comes with free Buffet breakfast everyday.
Although the breakfast variety are not many but we can still survive for the 3 days.

P2 Boutiqu Hotel is situated within central shopping centers of bangkok, It offers high standards of service with extra personal touches from the friendly staff. Conveniently located on Petchburi Road Pratunam Area, this Bangkok hotel is a walk away from BTS, Shopping Centers, MBK and Tourist Attractions. 

It was a fruitful trip for me and my colleagues because WE went shopping everyday until the sky turns dark! REAL dark.

Shopping and eating in the day, Massage in the night. So relaxing and happening.



Owl trolley bag.



 

Things that I bought over the 3 days.



Pad Thai Noodles sold at Airport but my pocket clean out from the shopping, never buy this to try.



Owl necklace; one of my favourite now!



We went for the half day tour included in the package. Fake floating sea market, temple, diamond factory, honey factory. It will be fun if it is the first time visting these places, but if you are a frequent BKK person, NO need to join the half day tour. I can say its a waste of time. :)

Time is very precious in Bangkok!



See the temple behind me!

I miss Bangkok!
