Butterbeer at Starbucks!

Accio Butterbeer!

Starbucks Butterbeer

I've been lemming to try Butterbeer since I started reading Harry Potter but it's hard to get ahold of it here in the muggle world.  I searched for recipes in the net but where the hell can I find cream soda in the Philipinnes???

Thankfully, Butterbeer is now part of Starbucks' "Secret Menu" thanks to my officemate and friend for sharing the recipe from Dalebacar.com.

Ask your Starbucks' barista to magically whip the following (for grande):

A Creme Frappuccino base. Don’t skimp on the fat by asking for skim or 2% milk as whole milk is required for the right consistency.
Add 3 pumps of caramel syrup.
Add 3 pumps of toffee nut syrup.
Top with caramel drizzle.

Enjoy!  Look how happy the cast of Harry Potter while drinking Butterbeer.

I actually expected the drink to be very sweet but it's not and also couldn't taste the toffee nut syrup and charge us (yeah I ordered with my 3 friends and officemates) extra P20 so we paid P190 for our drink (others only pay P170).

Because of my excitement I immediately sip my drink, it's too thick I should have let the crushed ice melt first!

Still, I enjoyed my Butterbeer and for a moment felt Hogsmead :)  Excited to try the real thing.

Thanks for reading. Till then. Bye

Sale + Promos September 2012: Check Them Out

Coffee Lover?  Then you might want to check out Starbucks promo this September.  Check their poster below

Check their FB page here

While in SM North, I passed by SkinFood and saw that all their items are on sale up to 70% off.  Too bad, I already spend all my money on TonyMoly.

Next, well...you probably already these but Eude House and Tony Moly are havibg their 50% off sale on selected items of course.

check the sale items here

Just a heads up,  Etude House in The Block branch do not have stocks on most of the skincare products that are on sale which really made me upset since I already research and listed all the products that will work on my skin.  I ended up leaving Etude House bagless.  Good thing for me though is that the products that are on my "To Soon Buy" list are on stock and good for you if you are into hand lotions, body wash, massage cream and cosmetics since they have it on store in SM The Block.

As for Tony Moly, they have a lot of stocks of the products that are on sale even the masks and some other items that are not on the above picture are on 40% (will post my Tony Moly haul soon, check it out)

Thanks for reading.  Enjoy Shopping!  Bye!
