Kerastase Treatment @ Tracy, Jelambar

Eversince I tried this treatment for the first time... I cannot help myself to resist...
So the first time, I had it in LuVaze Taman Anggrek Mall.... Loove it...

But now we gonna talk about this treatment in Tracy salon.... The very same salon I use for my bridal in my wedding day....
I thought it will be nice if I can do the treatment in the salon just near by my house.... *my future house and my in laws's house ;)*

So that day I took the general hair treatment from Kerastase (really forgot what they called this kind of treatment....) and also pedicure for my feet...

The place is quite nice... it's just been renovated... As you may find on other Kerastase salon, the ambience is full of white monochrome and the jazzy / slow songs playing around there...

I enjoy the pedicure session... It's nice, they use hot stone to massage your foot as well...
But I ended up with oily sleek hair (in a bad way) after done the treatment.... The hair cannot be styled ... the blower hardly to do anything to make it better... even after wash the hair for like 3 times.... it's still oily ... yuck!

Luckily I don't have any plan after ward... So I didn't complaint any harsh .... They just compliment me with sample shampoo for me to use at home.... To reduce the oil everytime I wash my hair...

Actually during the service, I enjoy it.... It was nice and pampering....
Just the result is kinda blah...

I think I will not comeback for quite a long time in the future...

So for the pedicure I gave it 4/5 for the combination service and price ... Really, you got more than what you pay for about 35-45k -forgot-
Even though I like the LuVaze's pedicure (Taman Anggrek Mall) much more than it... But the price is killing me... almost 200k for pedicure if I can recall.... But you got what you pay... No sensitive fingers because 'over cut' cuticle ... Perfect shape... Perfect polished... *I forgot the name of the pedicurist(and manicurist), she's nice and patient*

And for the Kerastase treatment, I gave it 2/5 ... if not 1/5.... I still remember the owner and also those who tried hard washing my hair and blow dry it.... although I still got charged for all that.... *I heard from my aunty who's a loyal customer there.... the person who did my hair, got a detention for the mal procedure she did...*
I love LuVaze Kerastase treatment.... but I will try one in Irwan Team Grand Indonesia for the next..... because of the good reviews I read... They said this is the best Kerastase salon in town...

Tried this spa on my last visit to Jakarta, in a mid of July ago. It was because of my best friend's persuasion to be honest... hehehe... Since I was searching for a nice spa, and she was curious with this place ever since her vacation in Thailand few months ago.

The both of us arranged a whole day for girl’s day out, including spa, and dinner time.

The place is dominated with purple color, which is common color for Thai restaurants...*well, as my concern of Thai restaurants * hihi..
My first impression when arrived at this place was good. The price is considered high, but this place is located in Plaza Senayan Arcadia, which made the price list looks 'matter of fact'... hehehe...

After 5 minutes learning the menu, and asking this and that to the greeter, we'd then decided to take same service called 'Old Time Favorite' *as I can recall*...
The service explanation says.... full body massage with bla bla bla... *I forgot :(*

The greeter asked us to sit down at the bench in the living room, and we got served with a cup of ginger tea.
Then we headed to our room. Shared room with 2 massage beds, 1 bathtub *which we hadn't use for this service*, 1 washbasin equipped with toiletries and 1 bathroom with separated toilet.

The service room is painted with dark purple color. It makes the room look dark indeed. I can remember the smell was kinda jasmine-ey?

Before we started the massage, they're asked us for which oil we’d like to use for the massage. We both choose the same oil... lavender oil? I think so...

The massage was just like a 'normal' full body massage. Nothing special, for IDR 475,000, 1.5 hours massage. Mehh, I got almost the same kind of massage in here, Ph, from the home massage service, for a merely 250-300 Pesos *estimatedly IDR 80,000-90,000*, only here the place is in my own condo, and the price is for 1 hour message.
Actually, overall the massage is quite nice but just not that special
The special thing *if you can call it so* is after you've got the massage service, you could take a bath in their nice bathroom.... with Harnn's bath products.

After finished all, they will serve you with either plain water with 1 piece of biscuit or hot tea with 1 piece of biscuit too.

Would try another service here, but maybe not so soon... :D

They’re also selling Harnn's body products...

That's all.

Social House

Berhubung pas kemaren ini bulan April gw ke Jakarta gak sempet ke SoHo indang, akir nya pas balik lagi July awal kmaren, gw nyempetin diri deh ke sini..... Gw pan emank suka tempat yang cozy n bersuasana lounge gini.

Yang bikin gw pnasaran adalah tempatnya yang semi outdoor, di lantai atas Grand Indonesia (di dalem Harvey Nichols, East Mall)
Sbnernya gak semi outdoor banget si, cuma pas malem aja jendela nya di bagian belakang yang ngadep ke arah bunderan HI dibuka.

Pertama kali dateng sama laki gw, adek ipar gw n temen"nya pas uda late almost midnight gitu, jadinya kita duduk di bagian lounge nya... Gw gak minum wine, karena gak gitu suka n lagian gw alergi alkohol... Gw cobain smoothies nya yang mnurut gw enak lumayan, tapi manis banget .... Apa yan yang gw coba C-Breeze kl gak salah nama nya, ada pineapple nya gitu de, lagi suka gw soal nya ma nanas.... Murah, 35rb.. Di saat yang laen mnum wine... huhu..

Range harga wine nya di atas Cork and Screw ya.

Trus pas kdua kali nya gw ajak temen" gw buat ngumpul... Secara gw lama gak pernah ngumpul ma mreka.. Gw pesen chamomille tea, lagi kcapekan *jalan trus gw di Jakarta, yagh, nama nya juga liburan y* trus karna sblomnya gw da makan di resto lain, sambil nungguin temen gw pada dateng, jadinya gw cuma pesen sup aja de...

Tom Yum soup, 45rb an de keknya. Ini soup nya cuma buat side dish, ya... Jadi gak gde mangkoknya....
Gw pikir harusnya si makanan di sini lumayan enak ya, secara kan yang punya itu sama kayak yang punya Blowfish.
Trus ternyata..... Gw suka! Hahahah.... Gak tau gimana rasa asli nya tom yum, secara tiap gw makan tom yum pasti rasanya beda" klo beda tempat.... Maksud nya klo beda yang masak, ya beda rasa gitu.... Tapi yang ini gw suka banget de... Yang lainnya juga suka ..... Hahaha, contohnya buatan mama mertua gw....
Cuma yang ini enak de pas asemnya, pas pedesnya.... dibanding tom yum" yang biasa gw makan di luar.... Sampe pengen nambah gw, secara ukurang mangkoknya menyedihkan.

the tom yum soup

Trus gw ada makan sushi nya, lupa.... Philadelphia sushi klo gak salah, sushi goreng gitu, enak juga ..... hehe...

Ambience nya gw lebih suka di resto nya dibanding sama lounge nya ... Prefer non smoking, tapi temen" gw pada smoking.... hihihihih, kecuali gw *sama edith de,... cup" sayang..*

Trus gw lebih suka SoHo ini daripada Cork & Screw.... Tapi lagu di SoHo lebih kenceng.... hahahaha.... Prasaaan gw kali ya.... Lom balik lagi ke Cork n Screw tuh gw....

Next destination harusnya si The Apartment di Menara Garcia, Kuningan. Cuman kemaren gak sempet, well... next stop to Jakarta perhaps.....

Nars Laguna... very Yay for me!

Believe me, this is HUGE!

Before I decided to try one product from NARS, I'd always been hesitated because of the price a lil bit pricey for me.

But then when my friends offer me to make a custome purchase from USA *from her sister who will comeback to Jakarta*, I've decided to give it a try.

So my first product from Nars is this duo palette. The infamous Orgasm blush + Laguna bronzer.

For US$45.

Well, I tell you the palette is not small.... It's quite big. The packaging is something a lil bit soft like rubber? I guess it will be dirty soon enough with some excess powder/pigment in makeup box.... But I don't really mind.

Then when I open it, the colors might just look blah in the pans, I mean just look like some common blush+bronzer.

But I can tell you that this is very pigmented, and once you swipe it, the texture is very velvety on your skin... Lav it!

The Orgasm blush is somewhat gives compliment on my cheek that other blushes I have cannot do. It gives me warm look.... *supposed to be cool? uh maybe I combine it with the bronzer so that it was look warm on my cheek..*

Not that I don't like my other blushes.... I love 'em all..... *blush maniac*

And the winner is ....... Laguna bronzer...

I use this as a shader.. I mean for shading purpose *mostly for shading my cheek*.... The shimmer is very subtle... So as for me, I didn't notice this when I use it for shading purpose....

Got this idea from Makeupgeek-Marlena... =)

And for me, this product does a much better job than other products I've tried (brown eyeshadow, MAC MSFN, dark cream foundation... and so on).. It's also much easier to use... Just need a good brush to use it as a shader.

Think will buy anothe product from NARS soon??

But absolutely will buy again if I run out this Laguna bronzer.... *in lav..... fufufu...*

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

Stelah kesabaran menunggu bertaun"(sejak bukunya kluar).... Trus ditunda berbulan".... akirnya gw nonton juga ni pelem.....
Gw kaga sabar karna baca dari bukunya seharusnya ini jadi film Harry Potter paling bagus... krna mengungkap sisi Voldemort secara lengkap dari kecil..... N juga knapa Voldemort ini tah gak mate"....

Kluarnya si pas hari" trakir gw liburan di Jakarta kmaren.... Tapi karna gak sempet nonton, gw nonton nya pas di Makati aja de.... Itu pun dapet tiket besokkan nya...

Kesan"....
Film nya terlalu kopong, brasa scene yang gak perlu itu terlalu banyak..... malah scene yang penting" malah kaga ada ......
Trus kayak tidak berinti..... Cuma bagus di visual effect nya aja.... Bagi yang gak baca bukunya si mungkin bilang keren ya.... Cuma bagi gw yang hafal sama buku nya jadi bete karna yakin buat org yang gak baca bukunya, ini crita jadi gak gitu berarti *halah... padahal brilliant lo crita nya*
Pas Dumbledore mati juga kok gitu aja..... Gw pas baca di buku kek nya lebih sedih de....
Yang menghibur gw cuma si Snape..... gw suka akting nya.... hahaha...

Aaaa...... mana tiket nonton nya dimahalin lagi di sini... mntang" harry Potter.....
Film biasa di studio THX *mreka ada yang THX ada yg biasa* harga nya 170-180 an peso....
