I was pampered at the Shiseido Beauty Penthouse

Happy Wednesday everyone!  You've probably seen this photo on my social media account and I take hold of this photo (hardcopy) really close to my heart!  Why?  As you all know, I look like my mom, and this photo, with the way it was printed (colored like that of the 60's and 70's) reminds me so much of my mom! 





Sorry for the blurred photo, but you get the point right? :D

So back to the luxurious event.  I got an invite to be pampered at the Shiseido Beauty Penthouse!  What is it?  I actually have no idea what to expect when I drove all the way to Ortigas.  After parking (quite far) from the location and got a bit lost, I was finally at the Penthouse.  I was greeted with lovely arrangements and a huge smile from the Shiseido Philippines staffs.


As much as I understand what a "pampering" does, I get the first-hand experience on how Shiseido takes pampering to the next level.  They call it: "Omotenashi" way.

Omotenashi - is the Japanese way of hospitality and customer service.  First class I tell you!
Shiseido Beauty Penthouse is a venue with infused concepts of luxury, prestige, beauty and Japanese “Omotenashi” that can be fully-experienced by pre-selected guests. The design of the place exudes elegance which is one of the strongest characteristics of Shiseido. The intricate details in it speak for the concept as everything is Shiseido-branded and represents what the brand stands for. - See more at: http://www.cellinereyes.com/2015/05/a-tour-of-luxurious-shiseido-beauty.html#sthash.Cc7l66sz.dpuf

On the first floor, you get to taste exquisite treats from savory to sweet from the Shiseido Parlour.  You also get to see Shiseido's bestselling skincare products displayed on key areas on the first level.  Customers may feel free to shop as they enjoy delicious snacks.


On to the second floor is the Hanatsubaki Floor.  An area where all the relaxation begins!  You get to have a premium Facial using the skincare line Futrue Solution LX conducted by highly trained Shiseido Facial Specialists.

And you know how you don't want to go out make-up free after a facial?  Worry not!  In this floor, you also get to have your hair and makeup done by experts! 

The Facial Suite
As much as I would love to skip this and head home (as I missed my son so much!)  I held back and told myself  I deserve this after a long drive!  And hey, I need to rejuvenate myself before I face another traffic on my way home right?


The facial was shortened into 20 minutes (the regular facial would usually take an hour).  Even if it was just 20 minutes, it was the most relaxing, well-deserved 20 minutes of my life!


Here's how my skin looks after facial!  Thankfully, none of those skin irritations or redness like I usually experience whenever I go through facials.


And nothing beats having your make up done by fellow make up artists!  I love how different brands apply make up differently!  It's always a new learning experience for me to see experts in action!  Thanks Genesis for the lovely makeover!


Hair skillfully done by Marvin.

Finally, after my almost-done pampering!  Saw fellow Beauty Bloggers Martha and Marge!


Then I had my photoshoot done on the 3rd level by professionals!  Yay for keepsake!  I will definitely hold this wonderful pampering experience close to my heart!  I may not be able to go back to Japan as of the moment but I experienced Japan's hospitality through Shiseido Philippines!

  4. I love your photo, you should display it together with your Mom's. :) I am sure every member of your family will enjoy looking at it. Wow... Shiseido never fails to give first rate services and high class products. I wish I was able to try it too! Hope to see you soon, I wanted to attend your workshop the other day but unfortunately I am on my 16 hours shift. :)
