During consultation, the boss ( i think she's the boss la) told me that i cant go for their crystal jade 5 elements facial as my face is prone to acne. The facial is only suitable for those who have no skin problem(like him). Wonder why is the god so unfair, he didnt try to take good care of his face but his face is so smooth. People like me who spend alot and always put layers of skincare on the face gt acne and whiteheads pulak!! Gr..
Ok, back to the topic. So the boss is kind enough to change the facial for me, and she suggested me to go for their cleasing facial treatment. They suggested me to add RM68 for an ampoule and also an extra cooling mask which's good for the acne. It should cost Rm200 but they offer me at RM68 and i accepted the offer.. Lol..
The facial start with double cleansing, follow by facial scrub, extraction, eye brow shaping, ampoule with massage and mask. I dislike the their service as they hire Non Malaysia to do facial for us. The one that serve me is a Thai or Cambodian im not sure but she can speak a lil mandarin, but doesnt sounds like local. The one that serve my honey's worse... Cant even speak mandarin and he cant even understand her "english".
Their facial is definitely not really professional as they didnt asked to change to their attire or anythin before starting their facial so i lie on their bed with my short skirt and shirt.. so comfy!!.. They didnt massage me at all, and i dont feel relaxed after the facial session.
Well, as for my honey, i cant see any changes after he went for that 5 elemnt facial thingy.. Lol!!!
After the facial, they recommended me some products and they're quite pushy. Anyhow i bought something from them :P Bought a Dermedex trial pack which consist of 1.5g of Biotox Refining Cream(good for acne and scars) and also Biotox Cleaser(used after normal cleanser), and also an Idemisse Hyaluronic Moist.
Stated : Caution. You may fall in love with this product.
(Well, yes i really fall in love with it, quite soothing and reduce the acne on my skin)
Yes, for this tiny bottle. 20ml...
The trial pack cost me RM22 and the Idemisse Hyaluronic Moist cost me RM68(original price Rm168, minus RM100 from discount voucher which is together with the deal). They kept asking me to buy 2 bottle of the Hyaluronic moist, which was quite annoying and luckily i didnt. However, the Dermedex Trial Pack is worth trying and the result is not bad. As for the Hyaluronic Moist, i can feel that my face is more hydrated and less tight. I gave it to my mum , i dont know why.. hahaha!!
So the conclusion is, for RM28, it's ok but if i were to pay RM298 for this facial treatment, i will definitely not gonna enter that shop again... =)
