Utama Spice Workshops. Customize your own goodness!

Welcome August! Time flies so fast.. A few weeks ago I was invited to Utama Spice workshop event. We were going to make our own tea, lip balm, body scrub, mist, soap and bath salt. Sounds really fun!



The shop was located at Sanur area, Jl Danau Poso. I've been there before so it's easy for me to find the place. It was really really hot that day. I arrived early and met other blogger friends not long after that. 





Sneak peek at the store area! You can browse the complete products here. I't so fun trying and sniffing all the products around the store. Many Japanese people come this store because Utama Spice is quiet popular in Japan.






Lovely table setting for tea time! I really love it, so cute and colorful. Bath salt, essential oil and some of the products we would use for the workshop were also on the tabble setting. They also gave personal touch with the menu and my name on it. So lovely!




Sandwich! Hahaha,,, Spotted the food first. Yummy sandwich were waiting for us. Can you see the back side? It's the powder to make mask and scrub. Will give you closer look.



All the empty bottles that we'd use for the workshops. Couldn't wait to do it but we had to eat first, right.



Mouth watering desserts for tea time. Oh my! They're delicious and so cute. Strawberry shortcake, Lemon meringue, Pavlova with fruits, Quiche, Coconut macaroon, Brownies... All of them were so yummy. My favorite one was coconut macaroon. We enjoyed it with lemongrass tea, specially homemade by Utama Spice.



We enjoyed the tea time while listening to Ria's explanation about tea making, the function of each dried herbs, So fun and so much knowledge I got from it.


Tea
Tara.. my herbal tea was done. I used cinnamon (antioxidant, warming), cardamom (warming), lemongrass (antioxidant, helping digestion, increasing appetite), and centella/gotu kola (helping blood circulation, increasing memory, antioxidant).


Lip Balm
Lip balm station! You can choose the base and add essential oil. You can check previous post about this in more detail here.


Face / Body Scrub and Mask
Powder station. Everything was made by Utama Spice from nature so it's real and original powder form from the herbs, that's why it can be used for everything. Not only mask, scrub but also cooking!
The difference between mask and scrub is the scrub one has exfoliate ingredient that comes from the rice powder (white or red).



Everyone was busy doing their thing!


Bath Salt
Bath salt! I was so excited with this one because I didn't meet many bath salt products and they're lovely. The white one was original, the others were colored using natural color from flowers and herbs. I added some tea tree oil and mint oil too to relax and casts away unpleasant smell. I have used it for foot bath and it was super relaxing, so fun. I'm in love now!


Body Soap
In love for the first time with the dispenser. It's so pretty... The soap was really mild, doesn't contain paraben, sls and any harmful ingredient so it can be used for face also. We just added essential oil and it's so fragrant. I really love using bergamot, mint, and lemongrass. 


My own handmade goodies!

Thank you Utama Spice for the workshops, it was a wonderful event and I met some new bloggers that I couldn't meet before. Hope to see you on next event. Ciao!

Review: IOPE Air Cushion Sunblock EX No.22 Ice Shimmer Beige

IOPE is a brand from Amore Pacific. The medium high collection similar with Laneige and Mamonde. The skin care range is more for older people, while Laneige and Mamonde are for younger people. This is my first IOPE. It is really best selling, sold 1 every 30 seconds in the world. I also heard that it is featured in many magazines, got award, etc... I am curious with this air cushion thing. and it is really good to know there is a compact sunblock with high SPF (it's 50!!). Since it is superrrr hot here in Bali, where I live, I don't like wearing cream sunblock. *Sorry for blurry picture* The box is thick because it contains the compact sunblock + FREE REFILL... Love it the free one. You also get the small booklet for product description inside. Description It is 4 in 1 function: brightening, UV protection, make up, cooling. The cooling effect is new to me, I never have cooling effect product before. Really all in ...

Review Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum

Kalau kalian pecinta brand skincare Korea, pasti sudah ga asing lagi sama brand yang satu ini. Sulwhasoo yang cukup dikenal sebagai High End skincare brand dari Korea memang mempunyai tempat khusus di hatiku. Ini bukan pertama kalinya aku pakai brand ini, cuma karena harganya yang cukup bisa dibilang mahal jadinya dulu incip-incipnya versi sample size. Salah satu must have product di Sulwhasoo adalah First Care Activating Serum yang katanya 1 botol terjual tiap 10 detik. Beda dari skincare lainnya, serum ini justru dipakai pertama kali setelah cuci muka, sebelum pakai skincare seperti toner dan lainnya atau sering kita kenal sebagai Pre Serum . Apa sih yang bikin serum ini so special dan bahkan harganya mencapai jutaan rupiah??? Nett: 60ml Price: IDR 1.850.000 Description Kandungan utamanya adalah JAUM Activator, formula unik anti aging Sulwhasoo dengan golden ration, membantu kulit wajah tampak sehat dan memberikan pancaran alami dari dalam, serta mengaktifkan master of skin universe,...

Review: Eveline Glicerini Hand and Nail Cream Bio Olive + Karite Butter

Back then, my mom bought me this hand cream at Sasa Hongkong. At first, I was sceptical about this because I've never heard about it before,  Eveline is a pretty name for a girl but never heard about them on cosmetics or so. It's a brand from Poland that has been sold worldwide. I love Sasa because they sell a lot of products, so many brands that I don't know and they are affordable. I hope Sasa will open in Indonesia, someday *dreaming*. After searching and browsing, I'm surprised that they have so many products for make up and care (face, ,body, hair). Such a lot of products. And I've found this on their web, the description of the hand cream and what's in it. GLYCERINE CONCENTRATED HAND AND NAIL CREAM DEEPLY NOURISHING + REGENERATING BIO OLIVE + KARITE BUTTER strengthens nails  48h perfectly absorbing formula NATURAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS Glycerine hand cream ensures deep nourishment and intense regeneration. Makes even very damaged and dehydrate...
