[BEAUTY REVIEW] SKINCANDY.CO 3 Concept Eyes Jumbo Lip Crayon #Bohemian Pink

Ever since the Korean wave has spread across the globe, people have become curious about the makeup and skin care trends of these rising stars. What makes their skin glowing? How do they make their eyes look bigger? Every woman wants to look like them. 

One of the hottest cosmetic products may be BB cream, which is dubbed as the beauty secret of Korean celebrities. But today, I am going to introduce you to what every girl in Korea has in her makeup bag - 3 Concept Eyes (3CE)! 3CE is the most famous and trendy cosmetic brand nowadays and I am feeling grateful that the first lip product I own is one of the bestseller of 3CE lines - Jumbo Lip Crayon! All thanks to the pretty owner of Skincandy.co, Audrey. Check out her awesome blog as well. :)

Jumbo lip crayon is a lipstick with smooth glide feeling, having a lip balm moisturized-like finish over. There are 12 unique colours available and the one that I am going to review today is #Bohemian Pink. I choose this colour because I love the natural sweet colour tone it creates and also since this is the first time I am reviewing a lip product, let's start with something simple and sweet. We will keep those pop lip colour for next time , shall we? :)

Every 3CE products come in a classic black box.

For the lip crayon box, the lip crayon colour is shown at upper part of the box.

Looking stylish with the simple black packaging!

It is really slim and travel friendly :D

Shade indicator on the bottom of each sticks.

#Bohemian Pink - creating a sweet lady look.

Korean words which I don't understand but this means it is originally imported from Korea!

Well, I must admit that I am not a make-up guru so what I am going to share with you today is just my personal experience not some teaching classes kay. :p I am never a supporter of heavy make-up. I prefer nude make up and my makeup routine pretty much revolves around BB cream, eye-liner, and lip gloss. Hence this time, I instantly fall in love with the #Bohemian Pink after my first try.

First try on a piece of paper. The colour is a very sweet, pretty pink beige. 

Here's my before and after applying the lip crayon. As you can see, before applying (left) my lips are pale, especially my upper lips. After applying (right), my lips look fuller, radiant and more defined. The colour is not very obvious, more to a natural type of colour. But this is the main reason I love it!

What I think:

3CE Jumbo Lip Crayon is very creamy and it glides smoothly on my lips! It is very easy to apply for beginners like me. It gives glossy finish, unlike some lip crayon which tend to have matte finish. It has a very mild scent, almost unnoticeable compared to other lip products. And also because it is not those obvious pop lip colours, I can use it everyday when going to university! No wonder it is so popular and famous now!

[REVIEW] TRUDTOX Botanical Tea Blend - cleaner, lighter & re-energized!

Hello everyone! As you are well aware, World Cup fever is back again! Hands up football fans? :D Do you know that it is at time like this we tend to overeat when we watch football match at our all-time-favourite mamak, or stay up late so that we don't miss any match? Plus with all the bad weather going on, the air we breathe, the products we use, water we drink, (not to freak you out!) but practically everything contains pesticides, pollution and chemicals. If you eat 3 meals a day but only poop once in 5 days, you could have 15 meals still sitting in your intestines. All these meals in your body will slowly accumulate and harbor a wide variety of bacteria and parasites that is harmful towards your body. Imagine all these toxins in your body..... 

Well, it's time to flush. The reason why you flush your toilet bowl is the very same reason you need to flush toxins out of your body regularly. Flush 'em away with TruDtox Botanical Tea Blend today!

What is TruDtox?

TruDtox is Swiss natural and organic botanical tea that WORKS GENTLY to cleanse and help strengthen our body’s own natural detox organs.

On a side note, Skynet people ruined my box. :( Super sad.

Why TruDtox?

- Formulated by a Swiss nutraceutical company and is rigorously tested, approved and qualified.

- Made of European Herbs and is certified as food by the Ministry of Health.

- Does not contain harsh laxatives (eg: Senna) and offers gentle cleansing.

- Safe to be taken regularly without resulting in bowel dependency.

- 100% natural & organic herbs, floras and teas.

- No artificial colouring, bulking agents, pesticides, or caffeine.

- Multi award-winning detox tea since 2007

Picture taken from TruDtox Facebook official page

Direction of Use:

Brew tea bag in a hot cup of water for 20-30 minutes.

*The effect may vary due to water temperature and brewing duration.*

*Not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.*

My experience with TruDtox

I love how it smells like herbal chinese tea. It's not too strong, but instead it has a very pleasant herbal flavour. I tried brewing it for the second time and it tastes the same, just slightly milder. So don't throw the teabag away after using it once! It's still effective!

*Colour, smell and taste may vary slightly from batch to batch 

due to the variations of natural ingredients used.*

This is actually the first time I am taking detox tea products so I had three tea bags a week as recommended. I normally consume after dinner or before I sleep. I enjoyed sipping the tea while reading my favourite book. :) I heard stories of people going to the toilet more than usual after consuming TruDtox so I was a little bit worried initially. :O However, I didn't experience any unusual bowel movements. But I do feel light and good even after a heavy dinner. It really works in relieving bloatedness! I haven't seen the result of a flatter tummy yet as they claimed to (as weight management requires sensible diet and exercise plan too) but I will continue my tea routine and let you know ya if it really works! But of course, do take note that result would differ from person to person. :)

TruDtox tea is not just a cup of tea. I really love how it keeps the bloat away and gives me a healthier body! I'd definitely recommend you to give this a try. :) Let's detox together!

They love TruDtox!

*Picture taken from TruDtox Facebook official page*

For more info, you can visit www.truDtox.com or 

their official Facebook page:  www.facebook.com/trudtox

Trudtox retails at RM29.50 for a pack of 5 teabags and 

RM88.50 for a pack of 15+2 teabags

You can get TruDtox at most leading pharmacies such as Caring, Watsons, Guardian, Alpha, Alpro,

Healthlane, Vitacare etc as well as independence pharmacies nationwide.

TruDtox is also available online in www.plincco.com, www.lazada.com.my and

:)

Happy detox-ing! :)

Love,

Eunice.

[FOOD REVIEW] Moonlight Cake House @ Taman Sutera Utama, JB - PART 2

Welcome back to my blog! Have you been anticipating for my second post on my dining experience at Moonlight Cake House? In my previous post (click to read if you haven't!), together we explored Moonlight's cheesy yummy finger-licking potato wedges and the fresh-from-the-sea fish slice bee hoon soup and so many more. Wondering what we had afterwards?

And yesss! We had cakesss. I still remember when I first heard about Moonlight it was about how good their cakes were. And given a sweet tooth like me, how could I miss this? :D

Rainbow Cheese Cake RM12.90

Brighten up your day with a slice of rainbow! This colourful, cheerful-looking cake immediately caught my attention the moment I walked into Moonlight. It usually comes in six layers of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. What I liked was that Moonlight's Rainbow Cake came in pretty pastel shades which mean less coloring! The cream cheese frosting had a subtle but pleasant tinge of lemon that offset the richness of the cake. I had the urge to happily sing ''Somewhere over the rainbow.....'' :D

Red Velvet Cake RM12.90

The Red Velvet cake is also one of Moonlight's signature cakes. At first bite, the cake was a little rough, but the moistness and the signature light chocolaty red velvet taste came through as I chewed. It was smooth and sweet but not so sweet that it overpowers the cake like some cream cheese frosting tend to do. If you are worrying about the artificial coloring, fret not! Edward, Moonlight's pastry chef behind all these beautiful cakes, told us that they replaced artificial coloring with natural food coloring called beetroot. A little pricey but worth it!

Brownie Cheese RM9.90

This Brownie Cheese tastes just as good as it looks! A delicious combination of two of my favourites - rich cheesecake and a dense chocolate brownie with almond bits. The cheesecake mixed perfectly with the brownie that when you're chewing, it just melted into one amazing flavour.

Peach Mille Crepe RM9.90

We all love crepe cakes. But do you know that each layer of a crepe cake is handmade, hand-layered? It's actually time-consuming! As you can see, there are peach slices in between, hence making this mille crepe more airy, lighter and less creamy. The overall result was very pleasant and light. We’d absolutely want to eat this again! However I was a little disappointed because they used canned peaches instead of fresh peaches.

Drinks of the day:

Top left: Hot White Coffee RM4.90

Moonlight special made 4 in 1 white coffee - Collagen (oh wow!), milk powder, coffee and sugar!

 Top right: Honey Wolfberry Tea RM6.90
Wolfberries, dates and honey - for the ladies :D

 Bottom left: Dragon Mango RM12.90
Refreshing and healthy!

Bottom right: Mangorange soda RM8.90
Perfect balance of fruity and fizzy.

Moonlight specializes in custom made cakes for any kinds of celebration, birthdays, anniversary, weddings and so on. You can even order beautiful 3D fondant cakes to make your celebration a memorable one! Do not hesitate to contact them for more details. It is very convenient as they have branches in Sutera Utama, Pelangi, Johor Jaya, Permas Jaya, Taman Gaya, Mount Austin and Bukit Indah.

Moonlight has always been one of my favourite choices of dining place and I am sure with the new menu, I will visit here more often! :)

[FOOD REVIEW] Moonlight Cake House @ Taman Sutera Utama, JB - PART 1

With the introduction of the new menu of Moonlight Cake House, Ma Cherie bloggers and Tony Johor Kaki were invited to try them out a few weeks back.

Moonlight Cake House - Your favourite cake house in town

I am sure most of you have heard of Moonlight Cake House. Founded in 2007, its six branches in Johor Bahru has gained its popularity over the years and they have just opened their seventh branch in Permas Jaya recently. Good news is that it is coming to KL very soon!

Boon Lin, the manager of Moonlight Cake House gave us a warm welcome and explained the new menu to us. He told us that they are planning to bring in the brand new concept and menu to all of the outlets one by one in order to let the customers to experience a whole new level of dining at Moonlight. I guess it is the spirit of never stop improving that makes Moonlight a huge success today! :)

The six of us were really famished after hearing from Boon Lin. And they really served us food fast! Let's start with some appetizers. :D

Appetizer :- 

Cheesy Potato Wedges RM6.90

Ohhhh just look at the cheesy sauce. I KNOW RIGHT. I instantly forgot that cheese=fats and had one piece after another. Nice start! We finished them off in a blink of eye.

Scallop with Capelin Roe RM12.90

If you didn't know already, capelin roe is the orange thing that you see on top of the scallop. Seems familiar? We also eat them with sushi! I always love eating that with sushi, I never knew that they can be a good combination with the scallops too! The scallops were succulent, super fresh and sweet! Favourite dish of the night! :)

Main dishes of the day :- 

Bamboo Charcoal Crunchy Chicken Burger RM12.90

Burger is everyone's favourite nowdays. My Burger Lab, Fatboy's, Burger Builder or even Ramly burger (lol). So what's so special about Moonlight's burgers?

I would say it's the crunchy chicken in between the black charcoal buns. The mayonnaise sauce was specially made and amazingly it didn't make the bottom bun soggy. Plus point!

Aglio Oglio with Mushroom RM13.90

I am not a fans of Aglio Oglio so this dish turned out to be pretty ordinary to me. However, the chef was really generous in the amount of mushrooms in it! So if you are a fans of Aglio Oglio you might want to give it a try? ;)

Grilled Chicken Chop with American Cheezy Sauce RM19.90

If you love cheese, this is definitely another dish for you! The American Cheezy sauce on top of the chicken chop was so yum! (The sauce tasted the same as the Cheesy Potato Wedges) And it was served with mashed potato, coleslaw and some fresh vege at the side. Did you notice the small cup of rotini (a kind of pasta)? I have never tried pasta with chicken chop in a plate so this is kinda unique! You can eat them with the black pepper sauce.

Moonlight serves Local Asian cuisine too!

Honey BBQ Chicken Chop with Fried Rice RM11.90

The chicken looked like charsiew to me lol. And it really did taste like charsiew maybe because it looked red and tasted sweet too. The fried rice was what attracted me to this dish. Well, I love anything related to eggs. :D

Fried Slice Fish Bee Hoon Soup RM9.90

This was highly recommended by Boon Lin so we ordered one to try. From first look it doesn't look appealing to me.... *judging*

.....but not when I have tried the fish. The fish was so fresh and it wasn't overcooked at all. And you don't just get one or two slices in the soup, but many slices! The broth was not the normal clear colour but the milky one. 

It was a great night spent with everyone. A full stomach makes a happy heart! :D But what made me the happiest is that I get to learn from everyone there, be it phototaking skills or life experience shared during our chit-chatting session! :)

Okok I know. Don't be jealous of me. :p

He's the winner of Best Malaysia Food Blog 2013 and Best Singapore Food Blog 2013.

Tony, the Johor Kaki! 

The most well known food blogger and I am sure everyone read his blog for the best food in town.
He seldom shows his face on his blog but I don't care I am still putting up this picture hahaha.

I am so honored to do the food review with you this time, Tony! :)
*fan-girl-mode*

With Boon Lin, the manager of Moonlight.

Thank you so much for inviting us over for the night!

.........Wait it's not the end yet! I am yet to write about Moonlight's most famous cakes and dessert we had that day. How can I miss that out? So it's gonna be another post. Hehe. Stay tuned kay!

[FOOD REVIEW] Fatboy's Burger Bar @ Taman Sutera Utama, JB

To all the burgers lovers out there, you have to check this out! The famous FatBoy's Burger Bar is now in Johor Bahru!

Alex has always been my good buddy who knows best where to find good food. So that day he decided to bring me to the newly opened (early this year) FatBoy's Burger Bar located at Taman Sutera Utama near Sutera Mall. Originally from Singapore, FatBoy’s now has four outlets in Malaysia - two in KL, one in Subang Jaya and the fourth in JB. 

Image credits to FatBoy's Facebook page

It is easy to distinguish FatBoy’s by their bold red, black and white colours and the logo of the fat angry guy. But don't be mistaken kay! The waitresses there were really friendly. Their service was fast and they even asked for my feedback after my meal hehe.  

I heard that you can build your own burger anyhow and anyway you like it here! You can customise your burger by choosing from a list of buns, patties, cheeses, add-ons and sauces. However, I didn't try them because I was already attracted by the fancy names that describe their specialty burgers.

They actually serve Fat Basterd, Wimpy, The Elvis, Big Bello.......and so many more!

I ordered their weekday promotions which entitled me a FREE float or soft drink with any purchase of their burger of the day.

Holy Friday - Holy Caeser RM18.00

As you can see, it has grilled chicken and bacon on a bed of romaine lettuce in between the fluffy sesame bun. The Parmesan powder and homemade Caesar dressing just made my saliva drools again.

The reason I ordered this was because I don't fancy burger with beef or pork patties. Well the chicken patty didn't disappoint me either. It was juicy and tender, not like those processed meat which taste dry. The only downside was that the lettuce was too little for me as I personally love vege and I slowly get bored if the whole burger was too meaty. Honestly speaking I am not a burger lover but I know I loved this when I managed to finish the whole burger. It's one of the best burger I have tried so far! 

 Root Beer Float RM7.00 (FREE with weekday promotions)

The Root Beer Float was surprisingly huge! I was so full that I couldn't finish drinking it.

I enjoyed playing with the vanilla ice cream on top of the drink. And seeing the whole Root Beer turned white because of the vanilla. :D

So whatcha wating for? Come and fix your craving for delicious burgerrrrrrrr. *mouth-watering*
