Giveaway goody-bag by Coral Salon & Spa for the bloggers.

Coral Salon & Spa is an amazing, new, & not-to-be-missed Spa in the K-Town! The Salon opened it's doors for public a few weeks back. My first visit to Coral Salon & Spa was as a blogger on the launch of this new spa.
The salon is located at the upmarket area of D.H.A, Bukhari Commercial Phase 6.
It's one of the most spacious salons that I have ever visited. The salon is spread on a pretty big area.
The place is beautifully decorated I must say. The interior has been carefully and awesomely done.
It is a two-storey place. I was shown around the entire place and was totally really impressed with the setup.
The salon has a separate area for hair related services, separate area for pedicures and separate manicure stations, which no doubt are amazingly made! Pedicure station was extremely comfy and relaxing. Then there was a different area for make-up related services which was still under construction though, and there were separate rooms for facial and waxing services.
The place was clean and tidy and every corner was decorated with scented candles, flowers and different gorgeous art pieces.
Coral Salon & Spa also stocks Elemis Skin care range and has a list of incredible facials and hair services in their menu!
I would definitely recommend this salon to everyone out there who wants to have a quality time at a good spa with of course a good hot cup of coffee! :D

What does The Body Shop say about this product?

Prepare to bare! Intensely exfoliating volcanic rock granules help to slough away rough patches of hardened skin, to leave feet femininely soft, smooth and freshly fragrant. Perfectly prepared for those strappy summer sandals!

REVIEW: The Body Shop Peppermint Smoothing Pumice Foot Scrub comes in a blue jar containing about 100 ml (3.45 OZ) of the product. Packaging of the product is satisfactory although I'm not very sure if its travel friendly.
I am in love with this product! This is my second jar. I literally finished my first within a few months. This product is a saviour for my feet. The consistency of the product is gel like containing small white granules. It smells of mint and gives a fresh feel to my dead, reptile skin like feet. This is my favourite and to-go product for a spa like pedicure at home.
How do I use it: I usually use it while taking a bath. Wet my feet completely and take a small amount for each feet, apply it properly and then scrub my feet using TBS Wooden Foot File.
Results: My feet become SUPER soft and smooth. All the dead dry skin on the pressure points and heels is gone. I just love my feet.
The product lasts me for a good six to seven months since only a small quantity (around a tea spoon for each feet) of the product is used. 

Price and Availability: The product can be purchased from any and all The Body Shop outlets nation wide. Or you can order online too from various pages on Facebook or from The Body Shop website itself. Worth $16.95.

Points in favour: 

• Quantity of the product is enough to last for a good six to seven months.
• Product works like a magic for dry, scaly feet.
• Easily available.
• Good for home pedicure sessions.

Points not in favour:

• Costly. (Try to stock it up during TBS sales).

Crabtree & Evelyn Anti-bacterial Moisturising Hand Gel in LA Source.

Review: Crabtree & Evelyn antibacterial hand gel comes in a small 50 ml bottle. It comes in a total of four fragrances. I have it in La Source. It's a small bottle hence can easily fit in to small make-up pouches and bags and can be carried along. 
It has this floral like fragrance which I'm not very fond of, but it is not at all bothersome or very strong. Since I'm a doctor by profession, hand anti-bacterial gels are a must have for us. But I think everybody should carry a hand sanitiser with them for the hygiene purposes. 
Does not make my hands sticky (thank God for that!). Packaging is sturdy. Quantity is enough to last for a good five-six months. 

Price & Availability: I bought this hand anti-bacterial gel from Crabtree & Evelyn outlet located at Dolmen City Mall, Clifton, Karachi, Pakistan. Worth $6.00

Points in Favour:

• Travel friendly
• Does not make my hands sticky.
• Enough quantity to last for a good 5 months.
• Easily available here in Karachi, Pakistan.

Points not in favour:

• None.
