Beauty & Butter Hand and Foot Paraffin + Official Launch

To relieve my tired hands and feet from standing long hours during make up gigs, I decided to get a hand and foot paraffin + Manicure and Pedicure at my favorite pamper place: Beauty & Butter! :)

The hand and foot paraffin is the perfect treatment to relax those tired hands and feet. The friendly buttercups begin with cleansing both hands and feet then use a scrub that take out some dead skin. After this, the actual dipping in the paraffin wax happens.

My Foot initially dipped


Fully Dipped


On to my hands, Beauty and Butter uses a different colored paraffin for the hands and feet. For the feet they used a greenish-clear color while for the hands they used a white paraffin color. :)

About to be dipped :)

Fully Dipped :)


Both hands and feet were dipped at least 3-4 times each in 3 second intervals. Each dip lasted at least 1 second. The immediate heat felt from the dip in the paraffin was love. My hands and feet felt so relaxed as each dip happened. I wouldn't say that the heat is unbearable because the temperatures were just right to make sure no burns happen. :)



After the dips, both hands and feet are wrapped in plastic then rested inside towel pouches for a good 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, the wax is peeled of and immediately I felt how smooth both my hands and feet were! :)


It felt as if I had been using moisturizer 20 times for that day alone. They were that soft. My hands and feet looked so healthy. :)

Immediately after, I got a regular manicure and pedicure and chose a vampy red color. :) I love Beauty & Butter nail polishes, they last a good 2 weeks for me. If you look at the pictures above, that was what I had first done at Beauty and Butter and it lasted that long. :)

YayyY!


Later in the evening, Beauty and Butter had their official launch at the Mega Atrium. There were lots of food, press and happy guests as celebrities like Richard Guttierez, Alyssa Alano and Fabio Ide graced the event with their presence. Beauty and Butter endorser Pop Girls also sang a few songs. :) Congratulations Beauty and Butter! :)

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.

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!
