Friday! We made it through the week! 🙂

You, my dear readers, have not let me down yet with your useful suggestions over the past 2 weeks. So today, I need to pick your brains further.

Gal pal Geekchic from Melbourne, Australia asked in a previous comment:-

PB, I’m always game for good facials. Have you come across any good ones in Melbourne that does not cost an arm and a leg and my first born? 😛

Not being in Melbourne or even on the same continent as Geekchic, I found myself at a loss for an answer!

I do my own home facials once a week if I remember or feel the need but nothing beats going to a beauty salon once a month and getting yourself pampered for the 1 or 2 hours where its all about YOU!

So gals in Australia, or Melbourne or if you have pals in Melbourne lets help a fellow facial fan out:-

Where can you get good affordable facials in Melbourne, Australia?

Circulate this. Email your friends but lets find some answers!

If you’d like a question featured do email me at parisb {at} mywomenstuff {dot} com and we’ll all chip in and help you get an answer!

Stay beautiful

Paris B

    I’ve been to a couple here in Melb. They’re not as good as what I’ve experienced at the Kanebo International Salon in Penang (and in KL for you :)), but for the experience, it wouldn’t cost you your first born 🙂

    Sakura Lounge, CBD – The facial I tried was packaged into the body massage package I purchased. I’m not certain of the products they used, but the facial massage and overall service were excellent. Very value for money.

    Pure Indulgence, Chadstone (I think they have a branch at the CBD as well) – Look out for their monthly or seasonal specials. The one that they’re currently running, their hydrating facial, is pretty good. It’s $105, lasts 75 mins, and you get a free hand cream.

    My next facial to try would be at Endota Spa. The place looks very good, but is quite pricey. I’m just waiting for any good promos coming up before giving it a go 🙂

    I often go for Ella Bache’s facials and body treatments. I find them pretty good. Their Triple Expresso Facials and Eye Radiance Treatment is not bad for $105, but I often just go for a Signature Facial which lasts for an hour for $95. I go to the one in Melbourne Central, the place and environment at the Ella Bache there is not bad.

    Speaking about facials, I am wondering about the good ones in KL/PJ. Besides Clarins, Kanebo and Lancome. I am sure there are others. I hope others will share their knowledge too.

    Sorry i have never been to Melbourne thus don’t know any. But it is good to know for when i go there!

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪
Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam ( Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam (night market). Popped by the one in SS2. Frenetic. Crowded. Lots of food and drink. Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂
Will have to admit that this serum from @drsambunt Will have to admit that this serum from @drsambunting had me curious about Azelaic acid. It’s a pretty good serum for brightening if Vit C isn’t quite your thing. It’s a 4-in-1 combo of pretty potent ingredients.

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
