Food Hunting: Brisbane 30.09.14

Hello Everyone! How have you all been? It's nearly the end of the year which means... exams are around the corner too! I am sure that everyone is well prepared for the exams *cough cough*. Anyways, this blog post is gonna be something special! During the last mid semester break, Rachel and I went around Brisbane, trying out different places to eat and visit. What's more interesting is... we filmed it!

If you want to know more about the places that we went to and what we thought about it, continue reading this post after the video!


1. Little Brew


Sticky ginger "banofee" bread with cream banana and caramel
We wanted to try something different and surprisingly, the ginger was not too overpowering. It was actually really delicious. They made the cream as well as the caramel themselves. I'm not really a big fan of cream, but I must say, the cream is so light! As you can see the presentation is very pretty!


Overall, I really loved the environment at Little Brew. It's clean, quite, pretty and the decorations are very nicely organised. They also have very friendly workers. The prices were also quite reasonable.

2. Showroom




This store is just located next to Little Brew. It's a really nice place to go to purchase things to decorate for your room/house. They also have really nice kitchenware. The owners are really friendly and we had a short chat with them even when they were really busy arranging their new products. Definitely a really nice place to visit!
  
3. Paddington Deli & Epirerie
They have quite a nice environment. We bought Baileys Fudge as well as Dark Chocolate Rocky Road. We thought that they were too sweet for our liking.

4. Paddington Antique Centre









5. Tall & Short Espresso


Affogato
We both thought that it would be quite good for beginners/people who don't regularly drink coffee. In our opinion, the barista did not add enough ice cream and also, as you can see, the presentation is so disappointing.

6. French Twist



Watermelon
The cake has a unique taste but I didn't really like this cake and it was very very sweet.

Mango & Pineapple Smoothie
This is refreshing, however, its very very very sweet.



The environment was very pretty and the furniture were arranged so nicely. Some of the staff members were friendly and kind but others were too busy with their work and ignored the counter. I had to wait a long time while ordering.



My driver for the day ♥

7. Dandelion & Driftwood
This is a must go!

Hot Chocolate
This hot chocolate tasted very unique and different.

You are my sunshine bacon & egg bagel
This is so yummy! It looks very normal, but it's really delicious! This is a must try, I really recommend this! 

This cafe had a really nice environment with relaxing music. Really love the way they decorated their interior design, the flower deco gave it a very light and fresh touch! They also had really quick service and friendly workers. This is definitely a MUST TRY! 



8. The Burrow

Towards the end of the day, we were really exhausted haha!


Pear of Aces

The Burrow is a very nice place to hang and they sell alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The workers are really nice and friends.

So, there you have it! I really enjoyed filming this as well as blogging about this. Do provide some feedback if you like so that we can improve! To be honest, the video as well as this post was a little rush because finals are coming and I just wanted to complete this post as soon as possible so that I can focus on exams preparation. Nevertheless, I hope you liked the video!

Before ending this post, I would like to introduce you guys to this wonderful website: The Urban List. They provide really good information for places to eat as well as markets and other interesting things you can do in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. Do check out the website and like their Facebook page for more updates! How I really wish they have an app! Haha.

Alright! That's it from me now! I'll see you guys soon!

Review: 3CE (3 CONCEPT EYES) Lip Pigment

This is not a sponsored post

Hello everyone! I've been wanting to post this since a month ago. I actually took these photos a month ago but I just didn't have the time to write it up. I apologise for the delay!

I've been wanting to try this product since it was really popular and the colours were really pretty! I'm sure all of you have heard of 3CE! Let's begin!



Product Information:
Product Brand: Stylenanda
Product Name: 3 Concept Eyes Lip Pigment
Type: Electro Pink
Made In: Korea
Size: 11 g

There are so many other colours to choose from! You can also mix them together to get the desired lip colour!

I've only placed a small amount of product on the lip brush. I also added some lip gloss because I thought that the lip pigment was very dry.
TIP! Use a lip brush for a nicer application and also use lip balm before applying this product!



You can also apply them as a blusher or even an eye shadow. Unfortunately, I did not get to take photos of them on my eyes (My friend suddenly called for a meet up LOL).


What Do I Think?
Likes:
  • I really love how the colour is exactly the same as the colour on the packaging.
  • A little goes a LONG way! I only placed a small amount of the pigment on my lip brush and the colour was so vibrant!
  • It has a very small packaging, hence, I am able to bring them anywhere in my make up pouch. They won't be too heavy too.
  • I like the fact that you are able to use them in three different areas of your face - Eyes, Cheecks & Lips! So convenient! You don't have to search for the exact same blush colour to match your lips!
  • You are able to mix different lip pigments to get different colours! There are so many combinations!

Dislikes:
  • As I have already mentioned in the beginning, this product is very dry and it does not moisturise your lips at all! It enhances the cracks on your lips. Therefore, you must always put on lip balm before hand and also lip gloss for shine.
  • It is very inconvenient to apply since you would get your hands dirty. So, I recommend bringing a lip brush with you!
  • In addition, this lip pigment does not last long. It would not stay and is easily transferred when eating or drinking.
