Pampering Simone Mahler Facial at Bespoke Beauty

Nothing beats a facial when you want to feel pampered. Recently, I have had Micro-needling, which while very effective, is certainly not pain-free, and a TriPollar facial, which while not painful could hardly be called pampering.

But I was in for a real treat with Elaine, owner of Bespoke Beauty in Donnnybrook in Dublin…she is, by the way, just the sweetest person with a gentle and warm manner.

The salon is a haven, an oasis: welcoming and so lovely and warm to enter from a wet and windy day outside.

When Elaine left to prepare my facial, I snuggled into a cosy bed, lying on a jade hot stone blanket, which is supposed to help the penetration of heat right into the body and relieve tension. It must have worked because I was in a half-sleep for much of the treatment.

I was treated to the new Simone Mahler Caviar facial. Yes, caviar darling! It sounds luxurious and pampering and it certainly lived up to its name.  An Anti-Ageing facial with the latest stem cell technology, it stimulates the skin cells to produce collagen and is intensively nourishing for the face, neck and even the décolleté.

First of all, the skin was cleansed twice with some very luxurious products and a warm cloth used to remove the excess. After toning, gentle exfoliation of dead skin cells.

Following a serum, Elaine expertly massaged my wrinkles away with a cream and oil blend using lymphatic drainage techniques, which was just heaven on earth. (I believe Madonna and Jennifer Lopez love having lymphatic drainage facials and they kind of look ok!). She also worked on acupressure points to relieve tension and stress.  Yes, I know I am retired, but I still do stress and tension…it’s part of my DNA. This was my absolute favourite part of the facial and it felt like it went on forever…I believe it was about 20 minutes. You can see Elaine in action on my FB page.

But I was not finished. Elaine applied the caviar mask and eye patches and wrapped me up in a bandage-style mask which made me feel like a mummy. I loved it, but if you are claustrophobic you might not like it.

RESULTS

My skin was tighter around the jaw area particularly; it looked more plump and more radiant and I definitely saw a huge reduction in wrinkles.  And the effects lasted for weeks. Repairing and regenerating it certainly is…I can highly recommend this oh-so-pampering facial, not just because it is pampering, but because it is effective. An added bonus was that my blocked sinuses were cleared. The photo below shows you just how radiant my skin looked.

It is a luxurious treatment that also promotes the health of your skin and your overall well-being. It takes about an hour 15 mins and costs €115.00, but a course of 3 is €300. I came out feeling and looking years younger.

If you need a break from ‘the madding crowd’, if you want to give a real treat to a loved one, an hour and a quarter of me-time, get in touch with Bespoke Beauty. You know what, it would make a lovely present.  My darling GG drove me there and went for a coffee when I had the pampering facial. Such a good hubby.

Disclaimer

I did not pay for my facial, but I genuinely loved it. I only write about products and treatments that work for me. I am always very much aware that when it comes to skin that we all have different needs. Some days I look in the mirror and am happy with what looks back at me, while on other days I see far too many wrinkles and sagging loose skin. This facial helped me have many, many good days. Highly recommended.

    What a lovely treat and yes, it did leave your skin glowing. I need to do this kind of thing. We have a spa on the island, but I never think to try a facial. Food for thought Hilda, thanks!
    Have a super weekend!

    Hi Hilda!
    This sounds and looks wonderful. Caviar, nice! I would be like you as I tend to relax and nearly fall asleep. Wonderful results, your skin looks radiant. I could use a bit of plumping!
    The cost is reasonable. I think its a great treat to do for yourself now and again.
    Have a great day
    jess xx

Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday with our beautiful family on Safari in Birmingham last week.

Let's call it chaotic; wild & wonderful all at once with four Grandkids between 17 months and 7 years old. 😂

Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and our friends @annademart.ie and @hynes6026 gave me a chance to wear this beautiful dress from @paulasmalahide. Visited Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, ate delicious food  and drank too much wine with lovely people @mcevoycarlos and @mcevoyleonie. More pics on stories.

Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

Magic weather this weekend .... Magic weather this weekend ....
Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tda Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tdactiveholidays 2024 brochures with new initiatives and destinations. Get planning now with the best in #guided travel. Don't leave it too late. Practically nothing left this year.
Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not A Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not Age'! I may not have crushed it but I did do some damage to my fingers. Hence splints and red bandages.Yes rushing about and tripped ...luckily only on grass or it could have been worse. It might have been my teeth!

Anyway back to the outfit. I had to borrow a crochet top and bag from my friend @marie.sweeney4. And they look amazing with my suit bought from @studio124dublin and hat @wallaroohatsuk (old)

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
I love a small bag for walking and shopping and this beauty in top quality leather comes in a variety of colours. 
And yes it came home with me!

Love the colour of this linen shirt and it is always packed for sun holidays, because of its versatility.

 Years old and bought @paulasmalahide.  Here it acts as a cover up over a swimsuit in Dubrovnik. Also love the colour and roominess of the Yoko bag @absolutely_patsy. 
Sunnies  and slides @tkmaxxie.
Let's hope the good weather stays. I might even venture into the Irish sea!😂

'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month' 'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month's 'Style Not Age'! And I did not realise it was an album by The Sparks back in 1974. 🫢
That was the year I did my Leaving Cert exams so maybe that is why it passed me by. But I do like kimonos. 
Love the paisley pattern and have no idea where I got it. Check out my friends @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish.

Do you have clothes that only see the light of day Do you have clothes that only see the light of day when you are on holidays? I do. Though this jumpsuit from @trafficpeople was worn a few times in Ireland when we had a heatwave! Remember😂
The hat from @h&m was prettied up with a scarf and birkenstock dupes are @tkmaxxie.
Blog post up about our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a blast at Ali and Ian's wedding. Dubrovnik is beautiful.

We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of the year. Still mad about him and often with him, but still love him completely and for ever!

'Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.'

 What is the secret? 
Resilience, an ability to compromise and a sense of humour. Oh and an ability to zone out. GG is a sweetheart, kind and loving. He has an endearing/annoying habit of telling the same stories time and again. Now I zone out. 🙂
He puts up with my shortcomings too, though I am sure they are minor😂
