Beauty Trail @ Orchard Central
12:50 AM
I'm sure most of us are familiar with Orchard Central
located at Somerset MRT Station! With its wide variety and selection of food
outlets (my fav are Tanuki Raw, Kiseki and Maccha House!) which also boosts a
great view of Orchard Road, Orchard Central is easily one of my favourite
hang-out place in town!
However, little did I expect that there is so much more to
Orchard Central than the great variety of yummy food choices and the many
teenage girls' favourite – The Editor's Market. The shopping mall also has an
extensive directory for beauty services, ranging from facial to massage to
manicures!Just a few weeks back before I left for Korea, I went on a Beauty Trail at Orchard Central for some
pampering session!
Here's what I did for a self-pampering afternoon, in the
span of 3.5 hours!
I started off my Beauty Trail with a facial treatment at Epi
Treatz, and I did the Lymph Drainage Bio Facial treatment!
Getting my skin checked and O M G look at those (gross) enlarged
pores on my nose!!!
Was also brought through a step-by-step instruction of how
my treatment was going to be carried out!
Let the facial begin!
I especially enjoyed the lymphatic massage which gave my
tired skin a good lift! It was really soothing as well and my face was visibly
brighter and "energized" after that! The massage around the eye area
was extremely relaxing, and my eyes were less puffy and dull after that too! I didn't even bother putting on anymore make
up after that for the rest of the Beauty Trail!

After the facial treatment, I was brought over to Kenko
Reflexology and Fish Spa for a body massage and their signature fish spa!
Frankly speaking, this is the session I looked forward to the most because I
LOVE getting massages and I've never tried fish spa before!!!
I think I've mentioned before in my older posts that I have
a pretty high tolerance for pain, so I like my massages to be done with lots of
strength (deep-tissue!) The therapist took note of how I liked my massage to
be, and also took into consideration that I was having a really bad backache
and slight cramps from my period. The massage was so... rejuvenating?! She
focused on easing my backache (I always get backaches during period) but also
made sure I didn't feel uncomfortable. After the massage, all the discomfort
were eased and it was really as though my body "battery" has
"recharged"!
It was really just what I needed at that point in time.
Periods have always been very unkind to me :(
Then, I got
to try the fish spa!! Omg I was so excited but nervous at the same time. The
thought and sight of SO MANY small fishes feeding on your feet is quite...
weird??? hahaha It felt like there was a phone at my feet vibrating constantly.
LOL. Definitely quite an experience for a first-timer, I felt so amazed by how
everything worked!! The fish spa is supposed to help remove all your dead skin
on your feet, and thank goodness for that, I managed to get rid of some really
stubborn dead skin on my heels from all the friction that resulted from dancing
bare-footed!

After some pampering for the face and body, it's time for
some pampering for the nails! We headed over to Pink Parlour for a manicure
session. My nails, as I have blogged about before, are EXTREMELY short so
actually there was nothing much to paint haha. But I've grown to take a liking
towards having my dead skin removed and my fingernails buffed clean :)
Look at those short nails LOL
The place was cosy and really pink like the shop name suggests! You'd surely feel like a princess inside here LOL. And, I have some good news from Pink Parlour!

To end off my Beauty Trail, I checked out Fullmask located
at Basement 2 of Orchard Central. It's a pretty small shop front, but the size
of the shop doesn't mean it is any short of beauty goodness! Fullmask was
stocked with LOTS and LOTS of Korean beauty products, from Innisfree to It's
Skin to Secret Key! I was introduced to so many of the highly raved products in
Korea that I am all ready to conquer Myeong Dong with confidence. (which I am doing right now!)
The popular It's Skin serums are also available here!
Animal masks!!! They're ALL over the streets in Myeongdong,
pretty fast for Singapore to have it instock alr!
The staff also generously gifted me a bottle of Secret Key's
Snow White Milky Pack to try! This product is quite raved about as I've seen on
reviews and the Koreans are CRAZY about whitening!!! Well, I'm still in the
midst of trying the product so I can't leave my verdict so quickly. But so far,
so good! Will definitely review it in depth if it works ;)

In 3.5 hours, I was able to receive a pampering beauty
session at Orchard Central from top to toe! The places I visited were just 4
out of the many, many other beauty services available at Orchard Central! It is
definitely a place to bring yourself/girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/mother/father
(you get it haha) as a reward or simply to pamper yourselves ;) Now that I am
aware of all the available beauty services in Orchard Central through this
Beauty Trail, I'm definitely gonna be at Orchard Central a lot more frequently
now because it has ALL that you need to feel happy about! (Food, shopping and
spas)
Embark on your own Beauty Trail at Orchard Central now! :)
Love,
Xin Lin
