I've been Butter'd! :)

Isn't Butter just the most sinful ingredient ever? If things went my way, I would cook with butter all the time and increase my serving of butter. Butter is like a reward, an exception to whatever diet, it is heaven for the taste buds. When you think of butter it is everything comforting and relaxing.

Have you ever wanted that level of comfort, luxury and relaxation that butter gives in terms of pampering yourself? YES. I definitely do. Let me share with you guys a place where you can get pampered from head to toe promising to give you full "butter" experience. Luxury, Gratification and Comfort:
Beauty & Butter


Bringing Butter to Beauty with Beauty and Butter :)

Beauty and Butter is a one stop shop where you can go for an all out pampering session, whether alone for that all deserved quiet me time or an afternoon pampering session with your girlfriends Beauty and Butter is the perfect place to go!

Mikael Coyiuto the son of Ruby Sy (the maven behind the popular aesthetics clinic FLAWLESS) is the brains behind the amazing Beauty and Butter. He wanted to bring a sense of self-gratification and pampering to people with affordable services & products that will make them feel like a million bucks. Their wide range of services includes Facials, Hair removal, Nails and Body. From facials for different skin types, waxing and threading, Manicure and Pedicures, Customizable nail art to foot and hand paraffin treatments. This place truly is a haven for being pampered.

From the exteriors to the interiors of Beauty and Butter, all I felt was how cool all the artwork was. The place is fuming with individuality, but amidst all the bright colors, an abundance of calm and relaxation still fills the air.

Service Area where you can watch a movie :)


A wide selection of nail art to choose from, or you can even bring your portfolio so their professional nail artists can paint any design you have on your nails! Talk about expressing your individuality and customization! :)

After looking around, I was convinced and couldn't wait to try their services. I decided to go with a manicure and pedicure to jump start my butter experience. :)



Comfy seating area with a really cool sink for the feet :)

Another really cool thing about Beauty and Butter is that when you spend a minimum of 500 pesos for any service you get to use their IPAD for free during your session. The place is wifi too so you will not get bored what so ever! Aside from that, while you get pampered several flat screen TV's are mounted on the wall while a movie is shown. Definitely a nice get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. :)

So while I was getting my manicure and pedicure I was switching from chit chatting with Shen who was there too to have some pampering done, to watching Confessions of a Shopaholic on their TV to tweeting and surfing on the Ipad. Hehe Isn't this the life? I feel like a princess!




Me tweeting on their iPad about my cool butter experience hehe :)


Before I knew it it was time for my nail polish already, I chose a bright mustard color and had a top coat of violet glitters on top! I lovee the combination! You can really choose whatever you want on your nails at Beauty and Butter :)






After the nail polish, my hands and feet went inside the portable dryer. :)



My Nails all done! Yayyy I'm so happy with them!! :)

I had such a wonderful time getting myself pampered at flawless, I really felt relaxed and like I was a princess. The friendly staff make are so hospitable and helpful attending to all my needs. They want you to feel comfortable all the time, the ultimate definition of customer service! And affordable at that too! Their services are from PHP200 - PHP200+ being the most expensive for acrylic nails. All worth it for the butter experience you get. :) Oh and they have a promo now too! When you spend a minimum PHP500 you have a chance to be in their monthly draw for an iPod and in the grand draw they will be giving away an iPad!! :)

Perfect Tool Holder

Since I was at Podium the other day, I decided to drop by The Australian College of Hair Design and Beauty to pick up a tool belt. Dyna was also kind enough to tour me around the school.

The Australian College of Hair Design and Beauty is located at the 4th floor of The Podium Mall in Ortigas. Dyna was also a graduate of LCI Manila and then she moved to Brisbane to study more make up. Now she is with The Australian College of Hair Design and Beauty. :)

Thanks so much for the wonderful tool belt. :)


My tool belt with the brushes I will be using for tomorrow's shoot

This tool belt is truly professional, it has 20 individual pockets to store 1 or 2 brushes each, 4 big big pockets for other tools like mirrors, scissors, and other essentials, and another 4 pockets right down the middle of the tool belt. :) It is really really nice, it will really store a lot of brushes. :)

This tool belt is also very big, the pockets at the very last row is very deep. Perfect for artist brushes like Bobbi Brown or Craft store brushes whose handles are longer than other brands like MAC. It's not so obvious in the pic above since the brushes in the back row aren't pushed in all the way.

Another thing I like about this tool belt is the lock, it is not the usual "clip" type plastic lock that you usually find in belt bags. The ones that are usually made out of plastic. This is really like a belt type. Making this tool belt very very durable! :)



Here's me wearing the tool belt:



This is a really really nice tool belt, this is big enough to fit in the essential brushes and other tools. Drop by the school too in Podium since they are also selling the local favorite brushes like Dashe and Suesh, train cases by Suesh and a bunch of neat palettes from Australia. :)

Thanks Dyna for the wonderful (discounted) tool belt and the tour around your school. :)

Go get your Professional Tool Belt too for only PHP1200! :)


Toodles! :)
