Flawless - SM Megamall Branch - 5F Bldg B

My BB can only capture this much light LOL. It's actually cozy and relaxing inside the Flawless clinic in SM Megamall.

So I got a Flawless Power Peel. It’s a skin resurfacing procedure that restores the skin to its natural glow. It uses corundum crystals to peel dead skin, leaving your skin rejuvenated and glowing (I swear, I got a compliment from a colleague last week, she said I’m glowing). It would also make your pimple/acne scars and dark spots less visible. The result of Flawless Power Peel is like that of a laser resurfacing treatment but less cheaper and according to what I’ve read, it’s less painful.

Flawless also have Diamond Peel that uses diamond which is four times harder than corundum crystals. The procedure both for the Power Peel and the Diamond Peel is the same, they just use different crystals.

Flawless Power Peel includes the classic facial before your dead skin gets vacuumed out of your face. You even get warm compress and hand massage. Sweet. And I also requested for a seaweed mask, because I learned from the technician who did my peel that it is effective for oil control.

Yes, that's the Flawless Power Peel® Microdermabrasion System right there. It propels corundum crystals and at the same time vacuums the used crystal and the dead skin exfoliated from your face

The peel was not really painful but it pricks a little. My face feels really light afterwards. You’re not supposed to wash your face for a good eight hours after the peel.

Seaweed mask on! For oil-control. :')

Before I left the Flawless clinic, I browsed through the different Flawless products on display and went home to try two of their soaps, which after a week of use so far has proven to be effective. I have tried the SAS soap also and it is very effective in helping to dry out pimples faster. It also helps the face to prevent more pimples from showing up.

Oatmeal Soap: I love its milky scent. Tea Tree Soap: Has proven itself very effective in controlling oilyness of the face. Both priced Php160.

And those of you who know me, you would know that I don’t kiss *** so you can bet on me that when I say a product/service works for me, it does work for me. :’)

Beauty & Butter at SM Megamall 5F

So imagine how excited I was when I went to Beauty & Butter two weeks ago to get a Hand & Foot Paraffin Wax with Manicure and Pedicure. Beauty & Butter specializes in services like foot/hand spas, facials, and of course nail art! So I got myself a nail art too! How can I miss that, eh? (But will tell you about it on my next post )

Sitting comfortably while waiting for my turn. I was actually watching Step Up 2 during that time. Beauty & Butter has two big LCD screens mounted on the wall. Sweet.

It wasn’t my first time in Beauty&Butter but it was my first time to ever get a paraffin wax treat. After getting mani and peds, my hands and feet were dipped in hot paraffin wax (and when I say hot, it’s tolerably hot). Then it’ll be wrapped in plastic and in cotton gloves to preserve the heat. It’ll be on for like 15minutes or so. You can really feel your hands and feet relaxed. Hand & Foot Paraffin Wax with Manicure and Pedicure is one of Beauty & Butter’s services that you can give your hands and feet for ultimate relaxation treat. And for just Php999. Sweet, eh? Your hands and feet will thank you for that. :’)

And also I love Beauty & Butter’s own nail polish line. The consistency of the polish is superb, and it won’t chip easily. It comes in tons of beautiful colors – my own favorites are the pretty shades of pink and browns. Some may say that applying dark colors (especially dark red and dark brown) on your toenails would make you look old. I don’t think so because personally I love browns on my toenails! :’)

So now let me do this in bullet form again – Here’s what I really really love about Beauty & Butter:

• The salon’s design is posh and princess-y. It’s very cool and colorful and funky and young.
• You get to use an iPad while waiting.
• The Buttercups (that’s what they call the staff) are cute in their yellow uniforms and they are all sweet and accommodating.
• And ultimately, Beauty & Butter understands our vain need to pamper ourselves. :’)

Miss Jing. She patiently attended to my needs that time. Very nice lady.

And so here’s the thing, they got a whole blogging contest going on from today until July 30 and I’m gonna be totally, TOTALLY, honest with my entries – no *sskissing or whatever.

Ok, last week I went to Flawless Trinoma to get my first ever Flawless facial. I wasn’t able to bring a camera because it was an impromptu visit. Yesterday I visited Flawless Megamall just to take some pictures to accompany this post but unfortunately I don’t have the camera connector with me here at my place so there I still don’t have any photos for this post amf (but I’m gonna post it as soon as I get back from my Caramoan trip, that would be on Tuesday, I promise*).

So about that facial experience in Flawless Trinoma, yea I had an Oil Control Facial. It took only around 30 to 40 minutes to get the facial done. They put seaweed mask on my face after pricking all of my blackheads, which are not much really. Oh, there was laser first before the mask. There’s this laser light or something that they’re hovering all over my face before they put that seaweed mask on. And then after that, it’s done!

After the facial, my face did feel great! It’s like it finally was able to breathe. It feels supple – very tight but very soft. It’s a very nice feel, I tell you. But. Yes, there is a but. After just a day, I got disappointed because it’s supposed to help in getting control of the oilyness of my face or something, but yea I got disappointed. You know what I mean.

Anyway, now let me tell you something other than the facial experience:

• First, the clinic in Flawless Trinoma feels really crowded, not because there were plenty of people or something (but indeed there were plenty of people lined up that day), but because the place is so small it can’t hold up all the beds in it. I might not know what I’m talking about haha
• Second, the people in Flawless Trinoma are not helpful or something. They made me feel like they’re unaccommodating or I don’t know.
• Third, the people in Flawless Megamall seems to not know their services when I went there yesterday. This lady in the reception, I asked her to brief me about the Oil Control Facial because I need to blog about it. She just said, “Ah, the oil control facial? It’s seaweed mask.” And I was like pulling off this “Is that it?” kind of facial expression, but really, that’s all the answer I got from her. But at least she’s nice to assist me to find the facial that will suit me, but I have to say no to her offer because I just got my facial last week and I’m running late.

So there. Maybe I can tell you more about Flawless and its services for the coming weeks when I get back to one of their clinics for the next four posts.

See you around.

P.S. I’m late for my flight haha, I haven’t packed yet. =P I swear to put pictures when I get back.

*EDIT: the pictures got accidentally erased from the camera so yeah, no pictures for this post

Last friday, my sisters Malen, Melai and Roanne went out for a lovely bonding night. It has been a long time since the four of us spent time together. I think the last was during Melai’s birthday October 2 2007. I know, that was ages ago. So I was really glad we finally found the time to be complete, for once in a while.

We had dinner at Gotti’s, The Atrium SM Megamall. With us was Fabs, Malen’s boiffie. My boiffie Aaron was supposed to join us too but he has to leave for a meeting at 9PM and the girls arrived a quarter before nine. We had Godfather’s pizza, carbonara and a red pasta ( I forgot what wuz it heeee ). We ate and chatted and joked around. And took pictures. Heeee

Why do I always have to be the one to look the wackiest?

After dinner, we decided to hang out at Starbucks Shang-ri la Mall. On our way out of Atrium, we saw David Cook on his way to Häagen-Dazs.

Malen, Cai, Melai and Roanne were all sad and disappointed because they weren't able to get really close to David Cook. To hug him. To kiss him. To jiggin him. LOL

We stayed at Starbucks until the wee hours in the morning. The boiffie Aaron also dropped by to hang out with us. It was soooo fun, I swear. I really missed being with them. I feel really blessed to have these wonderful ladies to be my ever supportive, ever loving, and ever beautiful best friends.  

Lub yoo besties!
