PINKYLEONA

On Husband's Birthday, I simply wanted a casual outing at an exclusive (not crowded) place that we both can freely move with Seff, that makes Seff feel safe and comfortable

Plan B (our usual favourite) is on top of the list, but we also wanted to try other spot. So STG Tea House Cafe it is.. because it also has widely mentioned (online)

We straightaway ordered and waited for our food to arrive and these are my honest review :

Food : 2/5 

Ambience : 5/5

Service : 2.5/5

The location, the cafe itself is great

But I seriously hate my pasta (Golden Crab/Soft Shell Crab Pasta, RM38) and couldn't even begin to describe the dish. Everything were off -pasta wasn't perfectly cooked, I hate both the gravy and the fried crab wasn't as crispy as I usually like. Is it about timing? Because they served both our orders together, they could've done my food way too early

Golden Crab, RM38


Rib Eye Steak, RM72

Husband finished eating his steak (Rib Eye Steak, RM72), but only the meat portion. He said his potatoes were off too, but I couldn't be bothered to taste it. I straightaway advised my husband to not eat them potatoes, because they're the cheapest ingredients of the dish too, not sorry for the waste

We like their matcha latte and cheesecake though, so I think their specialty is solely on desserts and desserts only

In case you wonder, STG Tea House Cafe do not provide free cake on your birthday *facepalm*

If you craveeeee for steaks and ribs PLEASE PROCEED TO TONY ROMA'S. They gave free cake to birthday boy/girl too

If you love soft shell crab pasta like i do, PLEASE PROCEED TO PLAN B instead. Last time I had it there, the dish was flawless! *drool*

I usually ordered Chai Latte too at Plan B

*drool again OMG*

On their service, I really liked this first boy there who took our order and I almost feel like I am gonna tip big!

And their service was good until.. when I started to request for the bill. We also mentioned (upon order), we'd like to bring back their Baby Durian Cake, the item appeared on the receipt but it is nowhere to be seen when we already paid them all

So we asked for the cake

And the next boy (who brought us the bill) asked back for the receipt and brought it to the counter. As if we already took/had the cake

I personally feel HURT

And he came back with the receipt. Another boy cincai-ly (lightly, speedily) fold the baby durian box and gave it to us. The box was horribly folded -the inside of the box touched and ruined the cake completely. We sent it back

So the first boy came and fold again, this time in front of me. It sligghhhhhtly touched the box but I straightaway pointed at the doings and the boy folded once again with so much care. And he did it!

The Baby Durian Cheese Cake, RM25 and its drama

Honestly I won't bother to return here unless someone wants to belanja me lah

Anyway, there's the first celebration, just me, my husband and Seff

My little family, my everything!

It is to me upsetting that my treats for him turned out isn't the best experiences overall. Next, we made another celebration with my family, unboxing all the birthday presents!

P.s. this review is strictly OURS, thanks!

**

Dan dirimu dijanji Sang Sempura

Dan kecewa kini dipulih rasa kasihmu

**

Dihuni rasa rindu

Hanya ku yang mencari

Rembulan masih ada

Mungkin seketika

Walau ku bahagia

Mengejar bayanganmu

Tak mungkin ku beroleh saat indah bersamamu

Dingin rasa kasihmu

Bagai bintang bersemi

Rindu janji bicara

Kekal selamanya

Walau sekadar mimpi

Tak pernah ku peduli

Selamanya kan ku pasti merindui dirimu

Hanya aku hu.. huu..

Alha Alfa's Snail Applicator Sponge is my recent purchase added into my piles of makeup tools

Here are some comparisons made and my opinion(s) about the sponge :

TEXTURE : DRY



Unboxing the Snail Applicator Sponge, I feel mehh at first. It feels super dense, unlike Beautyblender that is super soft and squeezable



The size is similar to Beautyblender, with multi-face for different applications. It has its signature engraving too, I think thats a lot of work for small price (value for money)



TEXTURE : DAMP



When the sponge is soaked to get a damp sponge for applications, I am straightaway impressed. As mentioned above, I dislike the sponge when dry, but hands down it feels exactly like Beautyblender when damped!



APPLICATION/FINISH

Since it feels (when squeeze) exactly like the Beautyblender, I feel no different with the results when applying my foundation using the sponge. Thumbs up!



CLEANING

I already use it for a while so both this sponge and my Beautyblender is stained earlier in this post

Using the same BB solid cleanser, stained were stripped off easily for both -so I have no complaint. But I believe the stains were removed much easier for the Snail Applicator Sponge, because I have this area of my BB that I cant seem be able to remove, IDK why



SPONGE'S LIFE



I have a problem when my Beauty blender seems to easily scarred from heavy use and vigorous cleaning, that makes me question its short life/value

While the Snail Applicator Sponge is still new, lets hope it doesn't turn out that way! (Will update the condition about 6m from now)



CONCLUSION

So far I am loving the sponge, its low price is definitely affordable to me, the multiface is awesome (I almost bought Fenty Beauty sponge because of this!), it is functional and it is to me almost a dupe for Beautyblender!
(Unless its dry)


I got mine for RM35 from Riena 017-2218 421


Until next post!

I want to include a dedicated post for my makeup collection, but one thing I know for sure is : 

I don't collect makeup

Which means, if I bought and dislike something, I gave it away to my sister/sister in law/cousins or friends hehehe (something I dislike probably suit someone else more). Plus, I like to make someone's day 

Quoted by my cousins : A trip to my house is like a trip to Sephora 

I got free SK-II RNA eye cream (from collecting points), I gave it away to my sister in law because I believe I don't have that eye/wrinkle problems yet #godblessoilyskin

Besides makeup, I also love collecting perfumes. But I only display my current favourites -the rest being kept inside a drawer, just to make sure they are free from dust and direct sunlight

Current makeup/skincare on my vanity table : 

My current makeup/skincare on display

My skin care products : mostly from SK-II

Here I give you an up-close and personal to my makeup/skincare collection with their respective organizers

I bought this clear acrylic MUJI Drawer (RM89.90) when we moved into our new house. Our current house is so much bigger than our previous one, so I decided to have a vanity table/dressing area. Else, our master bedroom would look empty

Master bedroom size : ca. 22' x 25'

My makeup collection (Inside my MUJI Drawer) :


Top Drawer : Lip Products (Colour Pop UML/USL/UBL/UGL, Marc Jacobs' Beauty Le Marc Lip Creme Lipsticks, MAC lipsticks)




Middle Drawer : Contour powder / Highlighter / Colour Pop Super Shock Cheek / Others


Bottom Drawer : Face & Eye palettes (BECCA, ZOEVA, Colour Pop & Tarte)



Eye palettes

I still haven't found a pretty organizer to display my current favourite foundation so I just placed them everywhere around the MUJI Drawer


My Foundation collection : NARS, MAC, BareMinerals, SEPHORA, Laura Mercier Translucent Powder, CATRICE including Alha Alfa beauty sponge (my recent purchase)

My beauty tools are mostly brushes and sponges, but I believe I use brushes more. I just place them inside a small cookies container (RM1.50)



My brushes collection : IT Cosmetics, Sigma & Colourpop (eye brushes)


I loveeeee perfumes/fragrances but I am displaying only my current favourites on this display rack (RM5), and the remaining perfume collections are kept in my vanity drawer. They catches dusts so easily!




My current favourite :
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO Signorina
ELIE SAAB (my all time favourite!)
VALENTINO Valentina

The last part of this whole display is simply this cotton round dispensers from YUBISO (RM15) that I bought in 2015




I've purchased cotton rounds from SEPHORA and Watsons once, and the best cotton round is definitely from SEPHORA. I love that they are thick enough, and I can use both sides. Watsons' ones is super thin so I ended up use more pcs at a time. I've calculated, honestly SEPHORA ones is better value for money (honest opinion)



Until next post!
