Hello everyone! How’s your summer so far?
Despite the unbearable heat, summer also means a lot of summer promotions! As I’ve strolled along SM Megamall’s 5th floor area last weekend to check out what the shops have in store for us beauty addicts, I found several summer promos and I just can’t help but give in to the temptation!
Facial spas are really popular nowadays. But do you really have to spend tens of thousands to have beautiful skin?
The answer is no.
I searched and found the best and cheapest facial salon available in SM Megamall this summer.
And my verdict?
Forever Beautiful.
I think it’s one of the newer facial salons out there because I only know their Megamall branch so far. The place looks expensive outside, and the ladies are so accommodating and friendly. But what really got my interest is the small piece of paper posted on their wall:
Yes, you read that right.
I talked to the girl at the front desk and asked if it’s still available. She said that indeed, it is. But you have to avail of their facial services in order to get the diamond peel for an additional 99 pesos.
I asked for the price list and sighed in relief because their regular services are also cheap!
I chose their most basic service, which is the Forever Beautiful Facial for 350 pesos. That’s just around 8 USD. Not bad!
Included in the service are the following:
1. Cleaning of the face with facial wash and facial scrub, all done while you’re laying down on a comfy salon bed.
2. Steam (to open the pores)
3. Vaccuum (to aid in removing blackheads and whiteheads easier)
4. Pricking (removing the blackheads/whiteheads and popping the pimples… ewwww)
5. Laser (to close the pores and wounds haha)
6. Massage (I really love this part!)
All the procedures are done in a small room, so you don’t have to worry about having to be watched by people while your pimples are popped. I really hate when that happens!
After the basic facial is done, it’s now time for diamond peel!
I managed to take a selfie haha! Sadly, I wasn’t able to take pictures of the place and the tools, because I was too shy since it’s my first time going there. But compared to my previous diamond peel experience at Let’s Face It, this one is waaaay better.
The ‘tip’ of their diamond peel machine is newer and smoother. While the lady is doing the procedure, I didn’t feel any pain at all.
To those who didn’t know, Diamond Peel is scrubbing off the dead skin manually using vaccuum with a kinda rough tip to scrape off the said dead skin.
I asked the lady to show me how it looks like, and the tip looks like a smooth stone with small fragments of shiny stuff, which could be diamond? Lol! I don’t know haha! It’s kinda like a face pumice.
The machine is basically a tube attached to a suctioning machine. The pumice-like end will scrape the dry dead skin off your face, while the machine suctions it. By the end of the procedure, they’d show you how much dead skin was removed, and it feels great seeing all the stubborn flakes off your face!
One week later, and no peeling happened to my face unlike the last time I had Diamond Peel. My colleagues also told me that my skin looks better compared to before, and I didn’t even tell them I had Diamond Peel!
Overall, I only spent 449 pesos!
Forever Beautiful Facial – 350
Diamond Peel – 99
I’d give it 5 stars for the privacy, the cleanliness and overall facial experience!
Sadly, the 99 pesos Diamond Peel promo is only for a limited time. But I asked the lady if they have a promo package, and they said that they do.
For 3,000 pesos, you get to have 5+1 diamond peel sessions with free basic facial each.
That is like 500 pesos per basic facial + diamond peel. Not bad!
When there’s no promo, the regular price for their diamond peel is 699 pesos.
Hurry and take advantage of their promo! Their address is posted on the picture above. I’m definitely going to have my diamond peel done again next week, and will get their promo package once it’s over. Forever Beautiful is my new favorite facial salon now!
