I love thoughtful gifts like these

Interestingly - The Body Shop now has a Moringa range.

Just chanced upon this article on Herworld's web.

Did you know?
Moringa is considered to be the most nutrient rich plant on earth. Moringa leaves have been consumed by Asian people for millennia as a health food product. Containing more than 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants, these vivid green leaves are nature’s super-power food. Grenera Nutrients is an integrated Moringa company that produces numerous Moringa products beginning with its inception of environmentally beneficial Moringa tree planting to manufacturing value added Moringa capsules, teas and other food products.

Mehhala living products using Moringa as an ingredient quite extensively too. www.mekhalaliving.com

Not to be missed: This Sunday!
$8 Hair Free Party at Pink Parlour - East Coast
Santa Grand
171 East Coast Road

More details on www.facebook.com/pinkparlour

Off to Bangkok for abit this Sunday till Thursday next week. Time for a wardrobeeeeee overhaul:)

And when I am back - I'll be reviewing Browhaus' latest Browgraphy treatmant.

Details:

BROWHAUS the Brow Expert’s all-in-one brow treatment Browgraphy is a powerful duo: Color Tweak and Brow Shaping, expect total transformation as the shape and color of your brows are reworked to perfection. Color Tweak adjusts the shade of your brows to suit your hair and skin colour - lighter brows have a softening effect while darker brows sharpen features and add definition.

As well as their popular Lash and Brow Serum – Extend. Get longer, thicker eyelashes and brows in just 2 weeks. (I totally need this with regards to my really sad lashes).

YAY to perfectly sanitized tools - always a highlight for reviews of mine.

I recently popped by to the latest Pink Parlour outlet to test their underarm IPL as well as a princess manicure. And I must say I haven't stepped into such a bright pink place in a long long time (The last was my 21st birthday celebration in New Majestic Hotel's Pussy Parlour. ) and perhaps my brother's room in our old place which used to be flamingo pink before it was painted maroon.

The New Majestic's Pussy Parlour


See here at Santa grand, you can get gorgeously and hair-free over a DVD or two when you come on by. Located on 171 East Coast Road (Hello East siders!) near lots of good food like Naive, Yong's famous soon kueh, kim choo dumplings and more!

The latest outlet spans across 820 squared meters and offers a Spray Tanning Room (Which even the lead singer of BLUE would approve off. The dude actually dropped by one of the outlets for a spray tann during their recent concert in Singapore), 4 Waxing Rooms, 5 Manicure and Pedicure Seats and a Shower Facility.

Fancy a staycation? Plan your girls’ night out, your very own slumber or hens party for that big day with Pink Parlour Slumber Party Package - only at Santa Grand!


Alma was my therapist for the day, she started by explaining to me the IPL procedure while her colleague Fairouz took me thought some facts and information about the usage of IPL as well as the technology that Pink parlour has adopted.

IPL is sometimes used in facials - to rejuvenate skin however Pink Parlour uses IPL for hair removal. If you are seeking or planning to go for IPL, note - you should not tweet your hair but you should shave instead. The hair shafts and roots need to be intact for this treatment to be effective.

There are a couple of steps involved

Cleansing with an alcohol swap.
Application of gel
Numbing (Pink Parlour uses ice)
IPL light 'shots' to the area
Tweezing of some hair only after treatment(or not).
Cream - to moisturize and calm your skin

And you are good to go!




This is a picture of me undergoing treatment.
The alien white goggles are very much needed - to protect your eyes from the harsh lights.


Individually packed tools - this should be compulsory! shouldn't it? :)




Because I am so in love with the Coral Hue O.P.I shades, I selected one of these for my most recent Pedicure session.

Choose from Apple tea, Peach tea while you read a magazine / watch the dvd they screen while having your mani / pedi done.

OPI and Gelish as well as glitter manicures are available.

What was most delightful was Pink Parlour's policy - You'll be happy to know that you can return anytime within 14days of your mani or pedi and have your chipped nail re lacquered if needed. I found that to be really thoughtful :)

MEKHALA (Mey-keh-lah)

At first looks, one might wonder what the brand's red logo stands for - so I'm gonna fill you in on it. The logo is actually an ancient Chinese alphabet that depicts bliss, or selfless state of mind.

Mekhala –also means Angel in thai. An angel that brings you "Nature's Blessings".

Think Mekhala is a company that produces just spa products? Well not quite! They're alot more than that. They offer a somewhat holistic view and choice - so you'll find products for the body, for eating, and for the home, which are all made to please all your senses. Which is quite true, we can't focus on just one aspect since your skin tends to reflect on your health and likewise what you eat is what you are. You can find things like organic honeys, rice, to body and haircare products.
Everything you'll find to be free from artificial additives.







I chose the Black Rice Shampoo & Conditioner (because I have chemically treated hair).
As well as a Young Rice Milk soap bar and a Young Rice Milk Body Lotion to review.

Let's take a look at the Shampoo's ingredients:

Distilled Water, Hom Nin Rice, Black Rice Extract, Kaffir Lime Extracts, Aloe Vera, White Crane Flower Extract, Natural Glycerine, Jasmine Rice Extract.

Sounds great don't you think? It makes me think of Rice Pudding that the Turkish serve up.

diet.

Price: $22.00 for full-sized bottle (250ml) from mekhalaliving.com

I used these for 5 days straight before writing my review.
So quite a substantial amount of shampoo and conditioner have been used up- as seen here.

Here's how the soap looks like after contact with water over a few days. The rice bran helps to slough away dead skin :) It's very lightly scented and it's just the way I like it.



The shampoo doesn't lather much nor produce much foam. But that's great - it means there isn't any SLS. I liked how it made my hair feel really clean after.

Here's the very smooth and small amount of form produce- probably from the Glycerin.

Next I applied the conditioner - at the first few uses, or rather during usage. The conditioner doesn't feel like it coats your hair. It's so light you wonder if it actually smoothens your hair or not. It also washes away without bubbles nor any slick or slimy feel.

However the effects were more prominent once your hair was dry.I noticed my hair tangled much less. And unlike some shampoos I've been using, the Black Rice Shampoo didn't dry out my hair too much.

I think it added quite some shine to my hair :)

Labels: black rice, mekhala

Here's a picture of the contents of the kit with March's 5 samplers. All the brands were foreign to me so far, except for A'kins which I have used before and really liked.

So thrilled that the 30ml hand, nail and cuticle cream smelt so good. I love it so much I apply it on my feet too!
So every month expect a lovely box that comes with a hotpink cardboard cover (extra protection and kinda doubles up as a second box).
Here's the Royal Cosmetics Herb Ex Cream - Interesting, since I've seen some of such 'treatments' around. But usually in spas.... I was wary however since I have combination skin and the directions say to apply less. (This was the last product I tried out of the entire kit)

Only that the texture is actually quite thick - and after smoothing it over your skin. It's actually alittle milky, however this slowly disappears and becomes colorless.

The last two items are the dermalogica multi active toner which is cool - since I haven't had a toner in my beauty regime (About time huh?). Spritzing it on was easy and it smelt pleasant.
Lastly the Caudalie vinoperfect radiance serum which is said to even skintone and boost radiance, I doubt the effects are immediate so I've been using it daily. We'll see. The philosophy behind the brand is kinda cool however - it's formulated with extracts from Grapes. Hence the word Vino.

A'kin and Pure Therapy products are available for sale on www.bellabox.sg

I've also seen A'Kin being sold at Unity pharmacies as well as ALT cosmetics in Bugis.

Special thanks to the lovely Mandy from bellabox for this lovely box - and simply because PR is not an easy job! Appreciate the hard work that goes into all of it. Thanks Mandy . xoxo

Unboxing the wonderful gift from Bellabox. Thanks Ladies.

Reviewing coming right up:)

Highlights :
Skincare with Goldflakes from Royal Cosmetics
Akin hand and cuticle cream - with lavender and geranium which happens to be my favourites (Spot on!) by the purist company
Pure Therapy intensive moisturizer (smells of Shea butter) by the purist company too. Meaning no Parabens and no Sulphates! yay
Dematologica Toner - not bad at all!
Caudalie -glow serum (This company uses cool vino technology, and grape derived ingredients. Awesome?)
