French Baker's Macarons Review

French Baker's Macarons Review

I have told you before that I was a little bit disappointed on Macarons that I have so far tasted. Well actually, I have only tasted one and not impressive at all. And I was like, I'm not gonna give up on these colorful babies and would give it another try. Here's my verdict for the second attempt.


I got these Macarons from another familiar bakery in town. French Bakery. I have mixed feelings about this store actually. I mean, it's just that I don't really like breads all that much and the one I've tasted from this store didn't really impress me all that much so yeah. And the reviews I've seen listed Tous Les Jours' macarons above this one so I was like, there can't be anything worse than that! LOL. Just kidding. But really though thinking about it now, their macarons were pretty bad. 


You know me! These details just made me wanna cry! LOL. But I must say that their illustration is very well made. Love! I hope to live on that house where the girl stands. Must be very magical there! 


Verdict you ask? Well. It could be worse. I mean, just like Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, there are good and bad flavors. And if in doubt, you can always trust brown coloured deserts. I think that's all I've enjoyed. The pinks were the foul ones and the green which I bet is Pistachio is kind of foul too but I partly like it. And the orange one was kind of okay. Definitely zesty so might have been some choco drizzled orange or something. Just a disclaimer, I don't know the official flavours of these macarons. I wish I knew. As a conclusion, nothing worse than the pinks. They taste oh so fake. One more try (from another store) and I would really give up on the pinks. Okay that's all guys!

Falsies? Not! Mascara tip!

Falsies? Not! Mascara tip!
Hello guys! I saw a post on Pinterest (is it?) that kind of caught my attention and I said to myself that I should really try it and here we go! Basically, all you'll be needing are these, and a lash curler or something. 


The trick said that if you put powder after mascara and put powder again, the fibers of the powder would build up and it would give you the look of a fuller eyelashes and stuff and I thought hey! It's such a simple trick so why not give it a try? 


It works! I mean, it does give a fuller looking lashes at some point and it even gives a kind of false lashes effect and yeah but I mean considering other things might change your opinion on it. It does fall out and would give you a black eye bad effect and I don't know if you want to go for that look. It also kind of feels gritty and it doesn't feel good at all. I mean it's after all a powder and at some point, it will fall off! And it's actually quite dangerous because that would actually fall straight to your eyes! Imagine the damage! So be very careful! Or maybe find a way to better apply the powder. I may have done it in a dangerous way.


 I think that with a much wetter formula of a mascara and if applied right away, it will make the trick better because the powder would have something to stick to and mix to and not just sit on the lashes so yeah. Anyway. I hope I was able to help you or some sort and see you again soon! All the best!

Dogs, Cakes, Halloween.

Dogs, Cakes, Halloween.
Hello guys! This is a post to show everyone and so I would have something to read on probably 5 years from now. Hashi's puppies! They're just so cute I can't even. I think they're about a month now. No idea how old they are exactly but anyways. They're somehow big now and healthy. That's all that matters you know.


The one on our left is my bebe BOOM (boy) and the one on our right  is my bebe JINGLE (girl) and yeah aren't they just the cutest of the cutest creatures? By the way I say that to any cute pets so don't be alarmed. The shape of their faces kind of looks different from each other because of their parents look quite different as well but they're both cute so whatevs. 


My picture with the bebes. I know they wouldn't be this cute for too long so yeah better take pictures before it's too late. Anyways. That's all for this post guys.

And by the way I did not do anything for Halloween so sorry for that. You know though sometimes I think my Halloween posts are just always at the top because I look ridiculous on my pictures. Anyways. I don't really care LOL. Happy Halloween! Better safe than sorry! :)

On other note, I want to show you guys these beautiful cakes that I was able to taste and yeah. Well actually, there's nothing special with the cakes but I just took pictures because they look good. 


This is called Jamocha from Goldilocks and I believe this is actually a relatively new cake from them and it was alright :) I mean, I'm not actually a fan of like Mocha cakes or the flavor in general but this one didn't make me not want it so yeah good job.


This cake is moist. So moist actually! It's a black forest from Red Ribbon and yeah it didn't disappoint me or whatever but I really liked it.
