My Experience @ Amante Nail Spa & Body Care


I can't even remember the last time I had a full body massage in Malaysia. This might sound strange to you, but believe me - it's for real.

Of course I love to get massage. In fact, I travel to Thailand every year specifically for foot and body massage after my shopping blitz. I loved it though and had a massage almost every day. One of the things I love about the massage in Thailand is that it's really cheap! You can spot the massage signs on almost every road and you'll be hard pressed to find an excuse not to enjoy one.

Amante Nail Spa & Body Care

Last week I had the luxurious me time at Amante Nail Spa & Body Care, Bandar Puteri Puchong. I treated myself with a 90 minutes aromatherapy body massage.  It was my first time there and I was completely amazed.

 Aromatherapy Room

I was guided to the treatment room once I had registered myself. The treatment room was pretty simple, spacious and inviting which allowed me to relax. During the 90 minutes aromatherapy body massage, I was slips into some loose fitting clothes and lays on a comfortable low raised bed.

Noor, my massage therapists had chosen to use lemongrass scented massage oil for my treatment. Throughout the massage, she was informative and professional. Her lovely soft hands used just the right amount of pressure and her consideration for my comfort and pain levels throughout was exceptional. 

I always had a lot of stress around me in my personal and professional life. My feet and shoulder was my main problems. She worked on my whole body including releasing the muscles around the feet and shoulder. What tipped it a bit for me is that during the foot massage, she noted that my feet were very tense. I was recommended to use ginger oil as part of a massage blend with essential oils and gently rub into the affected area to ease aches and cramps also improves circulation. I found after Noor’s massage I felt less tense in my neck and shoulders and a small relief in leg and lower back.  I felt really relaxed and sleepy afterwards.

 Ginger Tea

After the 90 minute treatments ended, I was served with a warm ginger tea while filling up a customer particular form. My body felt completely relaxed, comfortable and yet energized.

Review : Rimmel Extra Super Lash Waterproof Mascara


Mascara is always on every girl wish list as it highlights our eye lashes. I personally don't really wear too much of makeup on a normal day, maybe with just an eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss will do.


The Rimmel Extra Super Lash Waterproof Mascara comes in a simple black plastic tube with a straight brush. But the brush isn’t that great as it is too big for my lashes.  It does not leave a dramatic look in the first coat of application itself, thus I apply a couple coats to give me a little darker, slightly more defined and lengthened lashes, but unfortunately it ends up leaving my eyelashes clumped.

Before Application

After Application

So, I tend to apply only one coat of the mascara with just a natural look eyelash. My lashes looked completely average except for being darker. So far, it never flaked or smudged on me and it is waterproof that lasted me the whole day. However, I find it is so difficult to remove even with the eye makeup remover. I seem to lose a couple of eyelashes every time I removing it.

Naturally Abundant Looking Eyelashes

Generally, the mascara isn't that bad. It is inexpensive mascara for those who want natural looking lashes. You can always buy Rimmel London products at your nearest Watson’s, Guardian, Parkson & AEON Wellness for RM27.90.

Review : Organic Aid Vitamin E Moisturizing Cream



Have you’ll ever come across a skincare products by Organic Aid®? I know some of you may try them out before. Well, I’ve wanting to try it out for ages, but I hesitant to pull the trigger on it. Trust me, if you never try, you'll never know.

Organic Aid® is one such brand that gives the best natural protection your skin deserves. If your skin feels dehydrated, and you wonder why fine lines start showing on your face. It’s time for you to discover the amazing wonders of ‘Wheat Germ’. You might ask: What is ‘Wheat Germ’? It is actually one of the nature’s richest sources of pure Vitamin E, fully organic, and can be found in all Organic Aid® range. Does that sound interesting to you?


I am terribly excited to try the Organic Aid Vitamin E Moisturizing Cream. It’s really quite amazing to find that it actually do what the product claims “Non-Sticky, Non-Greasy”. In fact I love the gel-cream texture, plus non-comedogenic and hypo-allergenic. I have tried this product close to two weeks now and I must say I am totally convinced.


The cream is very gentle and yet very effective. It is specially formulated with Vitamin E to moisturize, soothe and heal over-dry or rough skin, leaving my skin soft and refreshed. It absorbs immediately and leaving my skin with a velvety feel. 


This product is definitely worth the money and I will be purchasing more! You can find it in most of the pharmacies and it's normally selling at RM14.90.

Happy trying!
