I attended my first facial pamper night at Faith's place this evening after work. She had invited a consultant from Temple Spa over to show us their products, and let us try on and do a facial for ourselves.
Temple Spa. I've never heard of this brand before until tonight and apparently it's quite a high end brand which you can find in niche stores and spas, boutique and 5-star hotels, luxury cruises and first & business class cabins of international airlines. The products which I tried on smells really like what you get in spas and felt good on my face! You may call this consumerism behaviour or whatever, but this area of buying facial stuff is never my forte. I never spend much money on such stuff and I can have a bottle of toner and moisturisor for the longest time. Just happy to use a facial wash and that's it. Maybe I am plain lazy. And somehow I always feel quite skeptical about beauty products because I never know which is good for me. Like genuinely good, and not swayed by the brand name or advertisements.
But because the weather is so drying here esp now, I know I have to put some effort for my face. It's the face - very important! I like the way of how we can get to try first and see the feel on our face tonight. Personally I thought the products were not bad plus we had a pro among us - Liandi. She is a beautician/ spa consultant and naturally very knowledgeable in this area so she was telling us what ingredients we should avoid, etc... she scrutinised the fine print and commented that she was surprised how "natural" the ingredients are and she actually think it's pretty good. She also said that people spend loads on money on those high end brands but they are in her words, "a load of rubbish coz you don't have to spend that much for good products..." Hmm.. see what I meant earlier.. very skeptical about such products!!
I was seriously temped to get the starter pack but I think about my laziness... and I think I need to consider about it coz the products are reasonable but not like cheap too. The consultant was really nice saying that we can always go back think about it, and she can still give us the special price next time. This range is also available in Harrods and Selfridges, but we know she can get some commission from our sales so we all agreed to contact her if we wanna get anything.
Overall... I think it's a great idea for a girl's night! Faith prepared some finger food prior, and after the session, we had chicken fajita wraps and some homemade rocky road bites. Bless her for being such a nice host for the evening. No photos were taken because there were no free hands available!
