Kaki Shopping

Having deprived myself of facials for close to three years, I decided that it was time to pamper myself again. I visited Aster Spring for a soothing aromatherapy facial which lasted about an hour and a half. Aster Spring is affiliated with the Leonard Drake Skin Care and Health Spa. Don’t ask me why they name themselves differently though. Well anyway, the facial included the compulsory face and shoulder massage (but of course!). Maybe it was because I had not felt relaxed in such a long time, or maybe it was because the facial itself was really good. I walked out feeling like a changed person, and received some Dermalogica product samples too, which were the products they used for the facial.

Well that was two weeks ago. Since then, I have been reading up a whole lot about Dermalogica products, and using them as well, albeit in samples. I have decided that the products are indeed great stuff. Besides, they appear like they suit my skin too! So last weekend, I decided to become a member of the Aster Spring skincare center. There were two different levels of membership available, but I chose to sign up for the Superior Passion, which I felt is more worthwhile, especially in the long run.

The Superior Passion membership costs RM1650, and comprises:

• RM1300 worth of treatment vouchers (redeemable against facials and massages among others)
• RM700 worth of product vouchers (redeemable against Dermalogica products, Averine cosmetics and Eve Taylor’s range of face essential oils)
• RM500 worth of vouchers for light-heat-energy treatments
• 1 welcome gift pack (depending on the month you join, the welcome gift pack varies in contents. I was given a large bottle of body hydrating cream and a small travel size tube of exfoliating body scrub)

As a member, I am also entitled to a discount of 5% off all products purchased and 5% off all facial treatments. As you can see, I am getting a value of more than RM2500 for the RM1650 I pay for the annual membership. Definitely a thumbs up package, coming from a kaki shopping herself!

Oh, that’s not all. You don’t need to pay the RM1650 all at once. If payment is done with a Citibank credit card, you can opt for the 0% interest-free installment plan in 3-monthly, 6-monthly or 12-monthly periods.

Reason enough for you to treat yourself to that facial yet? By the way, I don’t get any remuneration for promoting this membership package here, but if you’d like to try out a facial at any Aster Spring or Leonard Drake outlet in Malaysia, you can get it for 50% off if I refer you as a friend. Do drop me an email if you’re interested, yeah?
