September Coffee

my sister & i recently had a cute little sister date at Paintblush (@paintblushsg on IG)! its basically an art studio where you get to paint canvases in a relaxed setting, so cute and perfect for dates! 👩🏻‍🎨💙

(their studio is near Rochor MRT, which is a very accessible and convenient location!)

they have different types of sessions – we did the mini canvas buffet! basically u’re provided with free flow small canvases and you can paint as many as you’d like within the 2 hour session. you also have the option to have the session be guided/unguided; we decided to go for unguided (just bcos it’d be more chill and less pressure! just here 2 have fun💋)

its also BYO (bring your own) drinks/snacks! they have a mini bar in the studio as well where u can purchase drinks~ they provide complimentary water👍🏻

it was a really fun and therapeutic experience!!! i ended up only painting 2 canvases within 2 hours🖼 (i have zero experience in painting so plz don’t judge my works) they have a range of acrylic paint colours and a huge variety of brush sizes which came in really handy! 🖌

they also have a complimentary photobooth for you to snap shots with your canvases!!! supa cute. they send u the digital photos after the session📸

its a great bonding activity and i loved the ambience in the studio, would highly recommend for a date idea⭐️

and the answer is… Blincon BB contact lenses!!! 🥰 i have ONLY been using these contact lenses ever since i ditched my crusty spectacles in 2019 🤣

how i found out about this brand:

i wanted to wear contact lenses for my JC prom night, and i wanted to try coloured contacts! i went to a random optical store and it just so happened that these were the only coloured contacts they had… i decided to buy and try them out and… they were life changing HAHAHA and i have been using these contact lenses every since 🤭

why i love this contact lenses:

i know most eye enlarging contact lenses might make your eyes seem really ‘fake’ and odd but this brand doesn’t! they look natural and really adds definition to my eyes 🫣 they have a variety of colours as well if you wanna go ham 🤪 but the colours i’d usually get is BB Brown and BB Grey as they are more natural looking 😇

where to get them:

i can’t remember which shop i bought it from but you can get it here ! it costs about SGD$30 per pair 😄 however, you can get it at any optic shops in malaysia and it’s waaaay cheaper there (about $SGD10-11) 🤑

Tried so many cakes from cafes and honestly nothing beats The Better Half! A humble cafe run by the cutest couple, serving the best cakes. ( the girl makes coffee, husband bakes the cakes! How cute 🥺)

Have been here so many many many times and I just don’t ever get sick of their cakes. And I can’t emphasise how much I love their cakes.

They do always have new and seasonal flavours in addition to the usual/staple flavours. Cakes are all moist and not too sweet, goes well w a cuppa coffee.

Please really try if you’re ever at Outram! They are located at 1 Everton Park, #01-43. Do check out their insta page as they do close occasionally for a break or for personal stuff and they will post it there.

1-for-1 WEEKDAY lunch sets at Tipsy Flamingo! Each lunch set starts from $15++, so that’s $7.50++ for each person with the promotion⁉️

We opted for the Shoyu Salmon Sashimi and the Ribeye Steak, which we topped up $2 more for each dish.‼️Do note that the 1-for-1 is only offered for the base $15, excluding top ups! (iirc you can get the chicken and sea bass at the base price of $15)

Nonetheless, it was still quite worth it because it only came out to be around $11 after gst and service charge for each main (steak and sashimi??) 🤩🤩

🥘Appetiser: Pani Puri

– curry in a crispy shell with curry leaves and yogurt

– i really liked it, the shell was very crispy and the curry leave was very fragrant👍🏻

🍣Shoyu Salmon Don

– the don came with seasoned salmon sashimi, fried tofu with mentaiko sauce and seasoned jap rice!

– the don was quite substantial with a decent amount of sashimi and tofu!

– not too bad, tofu was nice!! but sashimi was quite strongly seasoned so i couldn’t really taste the salmon😢

🍚Ribeye Steak

– the steak came with cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and a bed of vinegar seasoned quinoa!

– i really liked this dish a lot! the ribeye steak was well cooked and blended well with the other elements of the dish👍🏻

Overall, I would say that the 1-for-1 is very WORTH it imo!!🤩 you definitely wouldn’t be able to get steak and sashimi elsewhere for this price! Plus DRINKS and an APPETISER!

❗️❗️To get this 1-for-1 deal, you must be an OCBC cardholder and must pay using your OCBC card! Hurry down now because the deal is ending on 31 Oct!

This blusher, 𝐋𝐮𝐯 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐛𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐛𝐲𝐫𝐞𝐝, is featured in so many korean beauty youtubers so when i was in korea i knew i HAD to get it. Most of the beauty gurus also compare this to Dior Backstage Rosy Glow 🎀

The mini heart packaging got my heart 🥺 Got it in the shade 03 Emotional Beam, which i thought it’s quite a neutral shade for both cool/warm tone girlies. AND believe it’ll go very well with everyday/daily makeup

VS other powder/liquid blusher, this is a cream based texture blush which is quite pigmented. Personally i use a makeup sponge to layer the blush to my desired intensity. If you have no makeup sponge, you can use your fingers to dab it (rmb to wash your hands prior to keep it hygienic 😉)

For a combi skin girl personally, this blusher rly create a glowy finish with no kick up. In fact, i think it’s longer lasting compared to powder blusher for me. Whereas for dry skin girlies, would recommend a thorough skin prep before makeup so the blush can be put on without any kick up.

𝐓𝐢𝐩: Set it over with a lighter powder blush/translucent powder for it to last all day 😻

The other shades are SO pretty, totally regret not getting more in Korea. Considering to get shade 06 too bc girl math, why not 💅🏻 Found a shopee store selling the blusher at the cheapest price, saved it in bio if you’re interested!

hi lemon8! heres a recipe for the softest, fluffiest and 100% pure sweet potato rolls for a good start to your day!!! 🌄🌅

this recipe is very similar to the choco rolls one, just that the filling is made of mashed up sweet potatoes. a tip is to buy indonesia honey sweet potato (my fav) cuz its really superrr sweet, tbh prefer them over the japanese kind which can get quite dry. also if yall like to eat sweet potatoes on its own, bake them in oven to make them caramelised 🤤🤤🤤

500g bread flour

300g milk

120g sugar

10g yeast

1 tsp salt

100g unsalted butter

Three Colour Concealer Palette

Always have difficulty find the right shade for me and I finally found one! First time trying a creamy concealer and it turned out better than the liquid ones I have been using!!

☁️There’s 3 shades in palette to cater to the different things you want to conceal on your face!

Swatch can be found on the third pic!

1️⃣ Lightest shade

For fairer people, usually can also be used as a highlight!

2️⃣ Natural shade

For the usual concealing without much colour correcting

3️⃣ Darker shade

For dark eye circles or pimples and spots! for someone who has really dark eye circles, this was really useful!

Personally love the texture of the concealer alot and the coverage is high! I got it on Tiktok but you probably can find it elsewhere too~

hi lemons 🍋,

recently i've been into cushions, so i purchased both cushions that were highly raved by all the girlies!

fyi i'm q a tanned girl so its hard for me to find a good shade for my skin 🙁

details of both cushions:

💗 CLIO KILL COVER HIGH GLOW CUSHION

– $39 w refill

– shade 4 ginger (their darkest shade)

– clio's newest design

– glowy finish

– high coverage

🩶 ROM&ND NU ZERO CUSHION

– $32 w refill

– shade 5 sand (their darkest shade)

– matte finish

– high coverage

💭 THOUGHTS ABOUT CLIO CUSHION:

i'm tanned skin so obv i had to get their darkest shade.. however, their darkest shade is still a little light on me tbh! applying it on my face def gives off a glowy and natural look, and i really liked that feature, but i would say its not really suitable for v tanned skin girlies! tip: go to watsons and look for this cushion, swatch it on ur hand first to see if the shade matches well! it def helps ☺️ ALSO, CLIO's cushion designs always gets me… SUPER PRETTY PACKAGING omg

CONCLUSION — i love how glowy the cushion is on my skin, so i would actually purchase this again after i finish my current one. price is good and affordable too for the quality! fyi: CLIO is well known for its cushions as its transfer proof and gives a natural look! IMO, its not very transfer proof, BUT if you use a tissue to dab your face it won't transfer so thats good! if wipe face then maybe will transfer…

💭 THOUGHTS ABOUT ROM&ND CUSHION:

same as CLIO, i purchased their darkest shade as it looks closest to my skin colour! OMG CAN I SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS??? the shade matches my skin perfectly, gives off a matte and natural look which i love!! its affordable and good for the quality too!! ROM&ND is well know for their water base cushion, but i love the nu zero one more as it has higher coverage!

CONCLUSION — i think ROM&ND's cushion shade fits tan girlies more as its darker, as you can see the swatches on my hand, in the photos. its cheaper than clio too ~

💭🍋 OVERALL SUMMARY:

in terms of shade, ROM&ND suits me better. in terms of glow, CLIO is better! so it really depends on personal preferences.. but all in all, i feel both cushions has its pros and cons, both of them give off natural looks, and both are of good quality! i will actually buy both and just switch around to have different looks ☺️☺️

what do you girls think? lmk in the comments ❤️

Love,

Cyn

i’ve been anticipating the opening of this restaurant ever since i walked past it at j8 and it finally opened so ofc i had to go try it!

what we tried:

🍝clam pasta $5.90 (5/10)

i saw the picture of the pastas and i was like ‘is it actly linguine’ and turns out it actly was! i didn’t try it but the pasta looked so well cooked and it wasn’t completely dry. but my mum said it was not bad but not good, edible.

🥩cheese hamburg $10.90 (9/10)

the hamburg was tinier than i anticipated but honestly still pretty filling. the flavour and taste wise, i was SHOOK, i’d say it’s a close dupe (if thr wasn’t black pepper inside) to the one i ate at tokyo disneyland. post on the tokyo disneyland’s one here. the fries on the side was cooked well too. i’m not a corn and egg person so i gave those away HAHAHA. anyways i really enjoyed this dish so 9/10

🍚rice $2

i mean rice is rice. but at least this doesn’t taste like microwaved rice like… ahem saize…ya

this looks like i click baited you bc none of the things i ordered were $4.90 but the clam pasta was technically suppose to be $4.90 (without the clams…)

📎there was water that you could go pour yourself for free but it tasted like tap water (i think) but anyways FREE so wtv

📎we went at 6pm on a sunday and there was nobody in the queue but once we were done ordering, there was a long line outside so def go early to avoid queueing!

📎overall, i think the quality of the food here is pretty not bad. i def wanna go back and try their pastas!
