Organic Facial brought to you by My Beauty Cottage

My Beauty Cottage is secretly located at Solaris Mont Kiara, right above the DiGi centre. When entering the shop, one will instantly feel at home, as the ambience had been planned to give a homey feel to the place, a lil something like Lovely Lace ala Victorian Home style. It hit a soft spot when entering the place and honestly, with all the lack of sleep that I'm going through now, I actually felt like sleeping there and then whilst talking to the consultants.

My Beauty Cottage focuses on a wide range of organic services from organic facial (the core service) down to organic mani pedi and waxing services as well. They are also the sole distributor of Eminence Organic Skin Care products in Malaysia, which has been endorsing the Oscar Awards for many consequtive years. This Hungarian brand has been around for over 50 years and has renowned Hollywood celebrities whom are strong brand supporters of Eminence are like Paula Abdul (American Idol), Mimi Rogers (Austen Powers) and Sofia Milos (CSI Miami). Éminence has also been voted Favourite Skin Care Line by skin care professionals and #1 for skin care results in the natural and organic spa industry.

The products are cultivated using sustainable farming practices, the various fruits, flowers and herbs are then harvested by hand. Unlike many skincare products today which are mass produced, Éminence products which are handmade and not subjected to severe heating or hydrogenating processes that alter the nutritional value of the ingredients.

I have never tried any organic facial before and it was actually quite an experience.

Eminence also recently began with providing organic beauty products and are slowly expanding their range to eyeshadows and stuff.

I kinda like their sunblock because they have it in mineral form and you can squeeze them from a brush and run through your face with no hassle. I really don't like using sunblock because it is so icky and sticky! Ya it's bad! So I should change this bad habit lol.

So we began the session with filling up the customer details form. Had a little chit chat and allow them to analyze what would be the best treatment to cater - as different skin has different kinds of products that can be catered for. Honestly speaking, I was impressed! Usually organic products and services in Malaysia is rather limited but here at My Beauty Cottage, they have the full range from anti-aging to hydrating and much much more. Some of which I have never heard of.

This is how the treatment room looks like, with its ambiance made to feel like you are right at home. The moment I hit the bed, I felt like sleeping - BADLY! But the fruity smell of the products kinda distracted me a bit there. :P

This is the range of products that was used during my treatment.

There are real fruit seeds inside certain products. This is as Eminence uses real fruits in their product and not just the essence. The fruits gets freshly plucked and blended for over 4 hours and left to settle for the next few weeks and from there, each and every bottle is personally hand made with all the appropriate ingredients. Because of so, the products smells so yummy that you would literally wanna eat it *slurps*

Each facial comes with a body massage towards the end of the treatment. I got flipped to the side haha so that the consultant can reach towards the back

:)

Each time a masque is put onto the face, they use this special goss or cloth that helps to hold on to your face and firm it up. Also at the same time it is used so that nutrients do not get oxidized along the process.

I felt so good after the facial, my skin doesn't feel like it is cluttered with chemicals like how I normally feel after my usual facial. I'm really sensitive to smell so sometimes it really annoys me that the moisturizer that is smacked on my face has really pungent smell and I feel like my skin can barely breathe. But organic facial actually feels different. My skin was soft and smooth and I smell so fruity after that! :P
