Spa at the Convenience of Your Own Home

As soon as my husband mentioned about his weekend golfing trip to KK with the boys, only one thing comes to my mind. ME time !! Don't get me wrong, as much as I hate being away from my husband even for a short while (because I am a clingy wife like that), it is my opportunity to catch up with some ME time. So i quickly whatsapp-ed AIRNYS, my favourite Luxury Mobile Spa to book my 90 minutes massage slot on Sunday afternoon.

Dealing with AIRNYS is easy. All I need to do is to whatsapp them and they will advise everything else. They're response are very timely and professional too. One of the best thing is that you don't have to make any deposit or advanced payment to secure your booking. You can just pay the total amount to the therapist at the end of your session.

This is actually my second experience with AIRNYS. The first time I tried their LUXE package (RM328) which includes Detox Foot Spa, Full Body Polish and 90 minutes massage therapy. The whole LUXE treatment took about 2 hours and 30 minutes with additional 15 minutes set-up time. This time around I opted for the 90 minutes massage therapy (RM208). 

You can choose either aromatherapy, swedish or deep tissue massage. They do not offer pre-natal massages (I was 21 weeks along when I had the massage) but they do take necessary precautions required to address pregnancy issues. The massage will be of soft-to-medium pressure, with critical areas avoided. The aromatherapy/massage oil is changed to cellulite oil (chargeable at RM25) and the honey ginger tea they usually serve at the end of the massage will also be substituted with Evian mineral water. Most importantly, you will be lying on your sides instead of on your stomach.

Before you start your session, you will need to fill up a form to provide your details and indicate your massage preference. You can tell the therapist if you prefer to concentrate on certain problematic area and tell them the pressure you would like them to apply.

My therapist, Suria was gentle and courteous, and most importantly - arrived on time. She provided me with bath robe, disposable underwear (a nice boxer briefs instead of the flimsy thongs spa usually provides) and also slippers.

She took about 10 minutes to set up the massage bed, music and light up scented candles - yes, they provide they're own portable massage bed so you don't have to worry about staining your bedsheets with massage oil and they really do go all out in creating an actual spa ambiance at your home. 

All in all, I was absolutely happy with the services provided. I think the price is very reasonable considering that it is extremely convenient that I don't have to get ready, travel, find a parking spot, you know, the whole hassle of going to a physical spa. With AIRNYS, I can just go straight to sleep after the therapist has left! will definitely book a session with AIRNYS the next time my husband is out of town.

My Skin but Better!

Ever since I got pregnant, I became very lazy  got tired easily. I appreciate every last bit of my sleep and tend to hit the snooze button more often in the morning. More sleep only means that I have less time to get ready in the morning.

Pregnancy has also taken a toll on my skin condition. So, I badly needed something to give my skin a refreshing boost, doesn't feel cakey, gives enough coverage to cover minor imperfections but most importantly I needed something that can be applied with just my hands without having to use a sponge or stifling brush. I ain't got time for make up tools! Especially not in the morning. And I finally found the perfect solution for my problem.

The Laura Mercier Foundation Primer and Tinted Moisturizer! The combination of these two products really does all that.

After cleansing, I will use my favourite toner, skip moisturizer and apply the Foundation Primer all over my face. The primer has a very light, hydrating texture which gives the skin the jolt of refresher it needs in the morning. It doesn't leave your skin feeling matte and cakey, unlike the Benefit's Pore-fessional. The primer needs 1-2 minutes for it to be completely absorbed by your skin.

 

Once the primer is well absorbed, your skin will feel fresh and hydrated and this is your cue to apply the Tinted Moisturizer. The Nude tone blends perfectly well with my skin color. I normally squeeze a small dollop into my palm and blend the product using my fingers before applying to my entire face. A small dollop goes a long way with this Tinted Moisturizer. After that, just apply loose powder to set it and voila, you're good to go!

The products are absolutely perfect if you want to achieve the no-make up look. It's still your skin, but only better!

But, I have to admit that it does not provide enough coverage to cover dark spots and eye bags. So, if you're keen on hiding those then you also need a concealer for the extra coverage. It also comes with SPF20 so it gives you protection from damaging sun rays to a certain extent. The full size is 1.7 oz which will last you for about 3 months (depending on usage) and they also come in a handy 1.0 oz travel size which is absolutely perfect for touch-ups when you're on the go.

All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and I definitely see myself returning to the Laura Mercier booth at Bangsar Village to restock!
