Chanel
A Date with WickerMoss Means a Facial and Hand Massage at Chanel, a Lavish Lunch at Noodle Rice Reataurant and an Endless Chat Over Aromatic Lattes and Mouthwatering Toast at Dazzling Café
After more than two
years of NO face-to-face moments, I was finally re-united with this lovely
heaven sent human being last Wednesday (17th Aug).
So what did we do?
Where did we go? For starters, she treated me to an hour and a half of facial
and hand massage at the Chanel stall in Paragon building. What a posh way to
meet and catch up, right?!
Unfortunately, I was not allowed to snap some pics where I
had the flash facial done. I guess it's because of their new product which she
used on mah face. It's a pre-serum which doesn't necessarily have to be used
everyday. Only on days where the face badly needs some instant lift and
radiance.
As with other facials, the first thing she did was removed
my makeup. To rinse the makeup removing product (I'm not sure if that was oil
or cream as I had my eyes shut. All I knew was that it was cold!), she used a
hot towel. Not only did it thoroughly rinsed mah face, it also sort of opened
up my pores. Next thing she did was applied toner followed by an eye cream and
a eye massage. That's the first time my eye area was massaged like that and
though it felt weird in the beginning, it grew on me and I ended up liking it.
Next was a lip cream application followed by a massage focussed on the mouth
area. She then applied a pre-serum and massaged mah whole face and man was that
good! That's the kind of facial I enjoy. It relaxed me. After the massage, she
slathered another pre-serum and this one was their new product. Another round
of that wonderful massage but this time with their sort of rolling thingymajigs
and then the actual serum was applied followed by moisturizer and sunblock.
That flash facial was heavenly!
It didn't end there! Outside the
facial curtain, a hand massage was waiting for me. She used three products on
me but I can't remember them because my fairygodmother was busy distracting me,
LOL. All I can remember now was how soft, supple and fragrant my hands and arms
felt and smelled yesterday.
And because my makeup was removed during the facial, the fairygodmother
requested the lovely staff of Chanel to paint some colors back on mah
face. That made me feel sooo special! Thanks to Chanel for their stellar
customer service.
Our
day had just started (insert devil-ish laugh here). We roamed around searching
for the right place to have our lunch. She brought me to Noodle Rice
Restaurant, a food venue I probably would have never dared to go to on my own
as I am not the adventurous type when it comes to where to eat. I ordered based
on her recommendations as I was scared to try something I might not enjoy. We
had rice and pork ribs partnered with iced lemon tea for me and
bottomless hot tea for her.
We chatted for I dunno how long.
That's the problem when you don't always see your friends. Our stories to tell
were, well, worth 2plus years hahaha.
And it's as if we didn't eat,
because we still looked for a different place to have our dessert. She brought
me to this magical place where everything is... well, dazzling!
We
stayed there and talked for hours. It was 7:30ish when we decided to leave the
cafe.
I
even convinced her to ride the MRT with me for just one station haha. We're
almost inseparable. Good thing there's always a next time! I'm already looking
forward to our next date.
