Laline (Bugis Junction)

If you are looking for quality skin care products with an economical price, this is the place to go. I walked pass this shop a couple of days ago and was simply overwhelmed by the beautiful yet clean image. Smiling faces and warm cheerful "Hellos" greeted me as I entered this beautiful shop. The "whiteness" and refreshing scent of the shop is very appealing to me as it gives me a sense of purity, cleanliness and somehow serenity.....

While I browse through the enchanting bottles of body scrubs decked in various colours and flavours, the friendly staff actually offered me an experience of this product that is enriched with dead sea minerals over at this very posh sink. She gently rubbed some lavender flavoured body scrub on the back on my hand and explained to me the product, after-which she washed it off and pat my hand dry with some tissue. The experience was great and my hand did feel rather smooth and moisturized without the sticky feeling like most scrubs will do to me. The scent was gentle and does not give me a headache. You must be curious why i say that... because the scent of lavender usually gives me a headache and only from a few prestige branded products that I do not get a headache from smelling them and I'm glad.. this lavender body scrub isn't one of them. I liked the after-math feeling of my skin and decided to buy a large bottle at S$29.90. Be sure to also purchase a small little wooden scoop which pairs really well with the clean small square bottle. While I smelt the other various flavors, I've also decided on a smaller 150ml Cherry Blossom body scrub which gives a sweet floral scent. I mean.. a girl needs a new scent for every mood, every activity and everytime she dresses up. Just be glad I didn't buy the entire 7 flavours.

They do also carry matching flavors lotions, creams, shower creams, mist, the entire complete range of body care and 2 items i find extremely interesting. The foam whipped body soap is a pressured bottle of liquid body soap that creates a thick and rich foam when pressed that is of a light and creamy texture that cleans very well. The body souffle is also mighty fantastic. This gently scented body cream that is very moisturizing yet does not gives a sticky after application experience comes in a neat flat bottle for easy carry around and no spills. I love the texture as I find it rich and creamy yet easy to apply and I was surprised by the quick absorption of the smooth cream on my skin. My skin did feel supple after application, as such I also got myself a travel sized of 50ml one for S$13.90.

They also do carry various bath accessories including bath towels and bath robes... A true bath experience accessories, scents and products. Its like bringing the entire MiddleEastern Bath experience right to the comfort of your home.

The price is great, product is fabulous, exotic scents such as vanilla and sandalwood available and most importantly, the helpful staff generously puts you through trials after trials.... I love the attitude and indeed a feel pampered just by visiting the shop, not to mention the beautiful packaging which I will elaborate in the next review.. So stay tuned...
