Hi everyone,

Look what I have for you today! There will be an awesome giveaway at the end of this blog entry, so be sure to read til the end to find out how to enter. ;)

Now, care for some dessert? :D

Don't be fooled by me. These are more than just cakes: they are SOAP CAKES with many different "flavors" like lemon, berry, raspberry and chocolate for you to choose from. You may be asking yourself: "Where can I find these unique soap cakes from?". It's from no other place than SHEA, a small boutique shop located in Orchard Central, Orchard. It's like a hidden gem in the heart of shopping paradise.

First things first, posing at the shopfront. The colorful soaps, candles and gifts from the entrance attracted me and many passers-by.

Once stepping inside, I got lost from so many beauty items, skincare, bodycare, hair care products which I did not know where to look at. They all were calling my name.

Shortly after that, the shop-owner took me to a tour and introduced to me each and every single product they are selling.

SHEA offers fine vegetarian handmade body care & aromatic fragrances from France, India, England, Australia and Wales. They carry some of the purest and most moisturizing additive free soaps available. Their products are generally paraben, pthalate and SLS and EDTA free and thus, they are suitable for almost every skin types, from normal to sensitive skin.

There are 5 different brands that SHEA (probably the only company in Singapore) carries:

1. Bomb Cosmetics.

If you are living in or ever travel to UK, you've probably seen or heard about this brand. Besides the great quality, the fun, sweet and unique looking of each products makes it so hard for the customers to resist not to buy.

Bomb Cosmetics manufacture huge ranges of products which are vegetarian, handmade, contain natural ingredients, pure essential oils, have a high glycerin content for ultra skin care and not tested on animals.

From bodycare: shower gel, shower butter, shower scrub, body cream.

to handmade soap slices with many different fragrances: chocolate, fruity, herbal, sensual, floral, perfumes, etc...God! I'm having hard time to type them all here.

Very unique and cute Bath Blasters look almost like cupcakes.

Different colors for different smells. I tried the Fruit Fountain Bath Blaster at home once and I got addicted. The smell is AMAZING!

Besides skincare and body care products, I was also attracted to this romantic corner where all Bomb Cosmetics candles are displayed. Their candles contain pure essential oils that will last for hours and hours. This is something that we can't find in normal candle in the super market.

Want to have candle light dinner or romantic moment with your boyfriend at home, throw away your normal candle and use these instead :D

2. Le Serail (The French Soap Store)

Le Serail is proud to produce some of the purest handmade olive oils soaps on the planet. Their products are vegetarian, handmade, contain natural ingredients, generally fragrance free (some contain pure essential oils), have a very high glycerin & olive oil content (72%) for ultra skin care and not tested on animals.

They do not contain SLS, parabens & EDTA. They are wonderfully rich and moisturizing and

suitable for all skin types especially very sensitive skins. As such, they are suitable for infants and babies.

Some colorful olive oil content soaps. You HAVE TO go to their store to discover all the new and wonderful items they have. There are too many for me to upload all in one blog entry.

Besides handmade soap, Le Serail also develops a very gentle shampoo shower cream that is manufacturered traditionally.

3. You're Gorgeous

Another soap product from Wales, also sold in SHEA. You're Gorgeous of Wales have been manufacturing pure cold press handmade soaps for a long time. Their soap are natural handmade to be as pure and authentic as possible, soapmaking from scratch from fine plant oils and extracts, botanicals, organic ingredients, aromatherapy blends and essential oils.

Here I was slicing the soap bar into small pieces. You can buy one soap bar to use for long time or a single sliced piece.

4. Nyassa.

This Nyassa of India has been in existence for about 7 years. They manufacture purely vegetarian soaps, shower gels and other essential oils in their products. This results in fragrances that stay on products leave your skin feeling soft and moisturized without dryness.

Again, this is vegetarian, handmade, contain natural ingredients, pure essential oils, have a

high glycerin content for ultra skin care and not tested on animals. We all can be beautiful and not hurt the earth :D

Last but not least,

5. Specialty Soap

Specialty Soap Shoppe of Australia handmade soaps are designed for those with gentle or sensitive skin using a special blend of vegetable oils that have been tried and proven over the last 9 years! Specialty Soap Shoppe products use pure goats milk and natural Australian honey for the two top selling special ranges.  All handmade soaps are hand cut and allowed to dry for a period before wrapping. This ensures that the final product we bring to you is gentle on your skin and forms a nice firm, long lasting bar.

I was told that this product is perfect for people who have skin, agnes problem. So if you do, why not try their vegetarian, handmade soap once and see how it can help?

Ok, enough with products talk, now it's time for TESTING! SHEA let me pick any product that I like in their store to try and here are my picks:

I know, they are so many and I'll try to give as many reviews as possible.

Shampooing Douche from Le Serail. I tried the big bottle and I love the natural jasmin smell it leaves on my hair. My scarf is pretty sensitive and it does not like normal shampoo with high chemical. Apparently, it seems to LOVE Leserail shampoo and I've been using it daily without any problem.

Soap, soap and soap in different sizes, shapes and smells. Can't complain much as my bathroom has great smell even for 5 hours after my shower

Bath blasters.

Natural sea sponge is truly from the sea.

Oh, love this Bombshells Cosmetics! I took 1 set but in different fragrances: Vanilla Shower Butter, Rose Body Cream, Shower Scrub, Raspberry Shower Gel. I'm going to show you the up-close of each individual product.

Body Scrub

Raspberry Shower Gel. It smells exactly like Raspberry :D

Vanilla Shower Butter.

Rose Body Cream. I've been using it everyday after shower and I'm super in love with it: lovely smell, fine texture and non-sticky.

Here comes the Facial set: Face Mask, Face Scrub, Face Wash.

What is your facial routine? I'm going to show you mine using the Bombs Cosmetics products since some of you have been asking me: how do I take care of my skin, how my skin can be so smooth and flawless.

Here is my secret.

1. Face Cleansing.

2. Facial Scrub

My skin is combination skin type and so I recommend to do it once a week only.

3. Facial mask (once a week)

How do you take care of your skin? Do you do facial mask and scrub often? If you don't because you don't know what products are good to use, here is great chance for you to try out SHEA products.

CHEAP BUT GOOD! IT'S DEALGURUSG (PART 3)

July 01, 2011

I bought the 2nd deal on DealGuruSG and went for another attempt in case any of you may say that my first deal was successful because of my LUCK. So here I am to prove you that there is no such thing called luck or risk in online shopping if you know how to chose the right website to shop.

This time, the deal i bought was a Herbal Detox Footbath + Lymphatic Drainage Head + Face Detox Massage + Swedish Detress Massage.

I didn't chose Slimming & Contouring Treatment because I'm currently endorsing for other slimming company, I don't want to confuse people :D. *talk about professionalism* ;)

S$46 for the 4 services above is too cheap. And guess how many deals they sold out? 827
Unbelievable!

The voucher i bought can only be redeemed on 1st July onward but Eden Spa Management was just so nice to me, they allowed me to redeem earlier after I told them I need to finish my blog entry before 30th June for Singapore Blog Award. So lucky or what? :)

And here I am!

Striking a pose at their reception area :D

Receptionist area.

The heat from outside was left behind completely the moment I stepped in (it was Sunday afternoon). It is such relaxing and super cozy environment.

The staff gave me a shoes tray to keep my shoes.

So cute!

I didn't know that Eden Spa is the first and only spa in Singapore that exclusively uses award-winning Clarins products in their body therapies & massages, which meant I had chance to try out products of a famous brand in the world at only S$46, woohooo :D So excited, lolz!

Clarins massage oils.

There are 3 types of oil they have

Anti-Eau Oil
Tones & Nourishes. Hazelnut, Broom, & Geranium combine beautifully to eliminate toxins, stimulate the skin, firm tissues, and reduce water retention.

Tonic Oil
Firms & Tones. Mint, Rosemary & Hazelnut blend perfectly to improve skin elasticity, and help prevent skin slackening and the appearance of stretch marks.

Relax Oil

Relaxes & Soothes. Petit Grain, Camomile & Basil work in harmony to relieve stress & fatigue, and promotes a sense of well-being.

. I chose the Soothing & Relaxing one. :)

Besides the massage oil, they do sell many other type of beauty products as well

Cleansing products which need not to tell how good it is. Branded stuffs!

Whitening! I always love whitening products.

"Shaping Facial Lift" serum won Her World Beauty Award 2011 just recently! Well, honestly advertising for a good branded products make me proud too :D

Luxurious lounge where you can sit down, have a chat and relax or you can shop for your favorite Clarins products at Tester-bar.

Foot massage room!

I'm having my Herbal Detox Footbath to kick start the session. The ginger herbs and lemongrass were told to help me relieve wind, remove toxins and relax myself. But the best part is:

The entire massage room was mine!!! So privileged :D

Pardon me for my plain face without any make up on coz I just finished a facial treatment earlier.

After the Footbath, I was taken to upstairs for body massage.

They got me so surprised for their huge and charming premise together with many well-equipped facilities are ready to use.

Washroom area and some bathrooms at the back! I felt like I was at a 4 stars hotel at least. Super luxurious!

Massage room!

I really liked the Swedish De-stress Massage (60mins) and Lymphatic Drainage Head & Face Detox Massage (20min)

The masseuse really knows how to do the job well. Wherever she moved her fingers on my body, she found the right place to massage. It was so relieved, omg until I fell asleep during the massage.

A picture of me during the massage. This is call "Enjoyable" :D

No other pictures to be shown because it's all naked, hahahaa....So don't wish for it, perverts!

You guys should definitely try out their services but too bad, the deal was already over. What you can do is to request DealGuruSg to bring the deal back. I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

In conclusion, after my 2 attempts shopping with DealGuruSG, I'm more and more confident now in buying anything on their website. No hassles in purchasing deals online, no hiccup, no cheating, all the products & services that DealGuruSG are selling it online are very good services from good merchants. I'm not trying over-talking to con you but we must give them credits for their hard works and effort in keeping their promises.

Say thank to these young and energetic people!

I'm still having some credits left over on the website, most probably I'm gonna buy something soon: a manicure and pedicure service perhaps?

Everyday they are having many awesome and irresistible deals which should not be missed at all. What you need to do is join them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter to get an instant updates. I'm very sure that they will bring good stuffs to you! :)

Last but not least, there are only 3 days left to the Singapore Blog Award presentation, I still need to ask for your VOTE, so please don't be lazy, give me some support by clicking the photo below and VOTE!!!!!

Thank you very much! Have a great weekend everyone! xoxoxo
