Review on Customised Facial at Astalift Singapore @ Wisma Atria


435 Orchard Road #03-30 Wisma Atria, Singapore 238877
Tel: 6238 6386



I signed up for a session of Astalift Customised Facial during the Astalift Event, so I redeemed it excitedly today - the day before I was set to fly off to Hong Kong. It was a 70 minutes facial, using Astalift products, of course. I had the choice of Wisma Atria outlet or Nex outlet, and picked Wisma.



The outlet was small - at the front of the house was Astalift storefront. If I hadn't ventured to the back, I probably wouldn't even know there was a neat treatment room hidden there. My consultant, who also turned out to be the therapist - did a brief health + lifestyle survey for me and had me fill out the necessary forms.





Then I changed into a sweet pink robe at the treatment room area. My therapist executed the cleansing and makeup removal gently. Not sure if its due to hygiene reason or something else, but I realise that alot of applications were done using cotton pads instead of fingers directly.



She used the Astalift Renewal skincare range for my facial treatment. There were some lotions before a hydrating Mask was spread over my face.





Instead of merely leaving it to work its magic like how the other facial spas do, my therapist powered up a machine to go over my masked face, and she explained that this would help lock the moisture in.

After that,  a series of facial massage -  a detailed range of movements targeting multiple areas of the face, neck and shoulder. I liked the massage very much as it felt really rejuvenating.



The concluding skincare regime began with the Astalift Jelly Aquarysta (review here) being dabbed expertly onto my face. Then toner, essence, eye cream and moisturiser followed.

After applying sunblock and a scalp massage, the facial session was finished. The end result was a glowing complexion that felt very refreshed and moisturised.

I enjoyed the facial massage and Astalift products very much. I also appreciated that the therapist was speaking English at all times- professionally and easily understandable! Thank you Astalift Singapore for the wonderful experience - probably the best facial before I turn a year older.

Located at Peranakan Place Complex right next to Centrepoint (I think between the jewellery shop and Bee Cheng Hiang bak kwa shop), Resveralife thrusts itself to the world boldly, with doors wide open to welcome everyone to step right in.

Interior decor is clean-cut, modern and elegant in a cold way - stark whiteness and metallic, like a page right out of a lifestyle magazine. This is a very new brand in Singapore, having opened for just around a month; the crew was friendly, polite and a little aggressive at times.



So the standard questionnaire and interview time commenced after I sat down, and was offered tea or water. The consultant patiently went through my skin concerns with me, and recommended several components in the customised Classic Facial I was to receive. She also explained to me what each step would do for me, which was pretty amazing.



Then I was led to the treatment room to change into their white robe for comfort. My beauty therapist entered shortly, and began the process of removing my makeup. She explained to me that all their products are made of natural ingredients, and that over here, they do not use any machines for treatments at all. All these amazing and efficient effects would be the wonderful workings of their products purely!



True to her word - after 2 rounds of makeup removal and cleansing, my therapist used Lionesse White Pearl Facial Peeling for exfoliation, while I lay in comfort imagining the benefits of what the fine white pearl powder was doing to my skin.



Next, she applied a layer of Warm Mask over my face, and a serum, and left it for 15 minutes. This step was supposed to eliminate dirt, oils and other skin damaging pollutants on my face, freeing the clogged pores. The colorless mask was a welcoming spread of warmth upon my face, especially when the room temperature was low.



After removing the mask, more serum was spread on my face while my therapist did an intensive Facial Massage for me. During the interview session with the beauty consultant earlier on, I was asked to choose if I wanted my facial massage to be "Light", "Medium"  or "Strong".  Wary, I chose the first option; the massage was very soothing and enjoyable, kneading the facial muscles concentrating especially around the cheekbone and under-eye areas. Oh, did I mention that before the massage, she applied more serum on my face? So in a way I guess she was rubbing the benefits of the serum into my skin, too.

Following that, another cooling Mask for firming and hydration; this time for 2- to 25 minutes. After cleaning off this mask, Moisturizer was applied to my face followed by a quick shoulder massage.

All in all, I enjoyed my facial treatment session here at Resveralife very much, and am glad that the crew is very confident in the results of their product range. The only drawback was the noise due to their location (right in front of a very busy road) - spa music was played rather loudly in the treatment room, but the contrast with the rock music played at the main reception area, as well as roaring traffic (remember that they have a open-door concept here) - provided little sense of serenity one seeks when visiting spa or facial parlours.

Still, thank you Resveralife Singapore for the facial pampering session!

Review on Luxiere Eye Mask from SleepWiz [Sponsored]

My lifestyle lately has been more hectic than usual, piped in with lots of stress - happy stress, bad stress, they are still all stress.  As such, I find that my sleeping habits have changed. While I used to sleep throughout the night the moment my head hit the pillows (which I accredited to my exhaustion and comfortable pillow), I find myself waking up in the middle of the nights and sleep became fitful.




After I tried out so many methods that did not work - such as taking chamomile and / or rose teas before bed, playing soothing music, meditation, aromatherapy and counting sheep etc - SleepWiz came to the rescue.









Now SleepWiz is a brand that totally recognizes the risks and health issues that come with sleep deprivation, and they care.  Their Luxiere Eye Masks offer an awesome solution to attaining quality sleep without the use of chemicals, pills or side effects. The 100% silk woven eye masks do wonders in the following ways:
  • Impenetrable to light with their DreamWeave technology
  • Creating perfect nighttime conditions so that the body can enjoy restorative sleep even during the day
  • Boosting melatonin levels naturally to bring about deeper, more efficient sleep
  • Extra wide design to prevent light from entering through the edges
  • Adjustable dual straps to hold the eye mask firmly in place and not fall off during sleep
  • Coolly comfortable and does not exert pressure onto the eyes / temples (adjust your straps correctly)
  • Extremely light, smooth and soft texture
  • Promotes blood circulation and relaxes facial muscle for better sleep
  • Silk protects our skin by retaining the natural oils and moisture while allowing it to breathe


Yes, that is a lot of benefits in a seemingly simple pair of Eye Masks, and on top of that, SleepWiz offers complimentary delivery in Singapore, as well as 3 months' warranty.




If you are thinking that such a marvellous product would be very expensive (like how I had thought!), well, you'll be thrilled to learn that the Luxiere Eye Masks cost a mere SGD$14.90 each, and they are divided into masks for "Side Sleepers" and "Back Sleepers".




Because of these eye masks, I now enjoy sound, uninterrupted sleep from night till morning, and it makes me enjoy my nightly slumber so much more. I also look forward to bringing them on my upcoming overseas trips. Thank you SleepWiz for these fascinating Luxiere Eye Masks and the cutting edge technology behind it - I could never look at eye masks the same way again!
