M.A.C Launches Candylicious Lip Glosses - Oh, Sweetie

| |
Hi Huneybees,


Oh, Sweetie! An affectionate name for M.A.C's latest collection of Lip Glosses, that are not only named after different desserts, they smell just like those sweet treats too! The 15 piece collection is headed up by model and influencer Caroline Daur and they are not to be missed, especially for those who have a sweet tooth.


With names like Funfetti Cake, Sugar Cookies, Banana Muffins, Coconut Macaron, Death by Chocolate and Purple Panna Cotta, this collection is super fun and colourful to have and great for this Summer. 



The rainbow confetti packaging are so lovely to look at, brightening my dresser and even brightens my day! For those who are always in nude or natural eye makeup, pairing these colours with your OOTD will definitely make your photos pop!


The lip glosses have a sheen of iridescence in them and the texture is creamy like mousse and opaque. They are not like the usual M.A.C Lipglasses that are just a sheer top coat and are not drying like those velvet lipsticks. Some of the colours do require a few swipes to get its full intensity, but what's fun is that you can mix them up, especially with the unconventional colours, to create new shades and even new flavours!



The Oh, Sweetie Lip Glosses are surprising long-wearing, yet not drying to the lips. They do leave some marks when drinking or kissing but there's still a stain of the colours left. It does take abit of effort to remove the lip glosses, you might need a dedicated lip makeup remover to do the job. Below is a first impression and review of the collection, alongside with the swatches of all 15 shades.








The M.A.C Oh, Sweetie collection is already out in all M.A.C counters islandwide, retailing at SGD33 each. Have fun shopping and do share your photos ~

Celebrate Singapore's 50th With A Starbucks Birthday Frappuccino Treat ~

| |
0 comments
Hi Huneybees,


Have you heard? Starbucks today pushed out a brand new promotion in light of Singapore's 50th Birthday Celebration to rejoice in the celebration mood with the nation. Being the ardent supporter of Starbucks Coffee, of course I needed to join in and grab myself a cuppa of the Birthday Frappuccino.


Having opened more than 100 stores in Singapore within 19 years, Starbucks have launched this new drink to celebrate this momentous milestone and express their gratitude to the nation for having them as part of the Singapore journey, creating history together.

From 3rdAugust to 11th August, between 3 pm to 7 pm, you can treat yourselves to a Venti-sized Birthday Frappuccino at $5, T&Cs apply.

The Birthday Frappuccino is my ideal birthday cake mix, bursting with all signs of sweet happiness, with Vanilla crème, dashes of hazelnut and smooth panna cotta. This is just the right drink to give yourself a pat for working so hard these past few months! 

This is the first time I have my drink with whipped cream, coz it has been infused with raspberry flavour and without it, it just feels like something is missing. *Well, at most just eat more veggie and run for a few more rounds right?*

More Singaporean Themed Promotions...


Singapore Skyline Tumbler

As part of the celebration, get for yourself or your loved ones a Singapore Skyline tumbler for just $25.90. The new tumbler captures the modern Singapore skyline, from shophouse to skyscraper, and is the perfect memento to remember Singapore’s Golden Jubilee for years to come.

Supporting Our Local Talent: Nicholas Tan
Supporting local talents and artists has always been what Starbucks strongly advocates. In the month of August, we are honored to have Singaporean singer-songwriter Nicholas Tan’s second album, New Normal, sold at our counters island-wide for just $10.


So, be sure to set your alarms and grab yourselves a cup of the Starbucks Birthday Frappuccino for tea-break tomorrow! :)

(Family Sharing Platters)


French Family Meat Platter --- $48.80


This is a combination of Pan-fried Duck Confit, Crispy Pork Belly, AUS Wagyu Beef Rump, Roasted Pork Ribs with Sides - Roasted Wild Mushrooms, Roasted Potatoes & Green Leaf Salad.


I would recommend this to the meat loving family. The portion's not very big though. It's a little more for 2, but I like the idea of getting to taste everything without having to spend big. I love the Wagyu Beef Rump most. It pretty much melts in the mouth, and the special marination, really tantalizes my taste buds!


Greek XXL Seafood Platter --- $49.80

Mixed Seafood Platter with Butter Grilled King Crab, Salmon Head, Sea Bass, Sea Bream, Snapper, Blue Mussels, Fresh Live Prawns with Braised Tomato Aubergine, Watercress Salad and Mash Potato.


Seriously say hello to the Meditteranean Sea with this dish. All of the sea's finest is already here, it's so fresh, you can literally taste the sea... There's so many types of fishes to choose from and for prawn fans like me, you will love the fleshy and Fresh Live Prawns. One other thing that I like is the Mash Potato. Although it's not he main dish, but I couldn't stop eating and our table at the food tasting ordered for more. :)


Desserts Platter --- $21.90

Come on! Who can resist desserts? End your platters above with the dessert platter of Lychee Rose Panna Cotta, Churros with Chocolate Sauce, Red Velvet Cake, Earl Grey Creme Brulee & Chocolate Brownie and I bet Mummy dearest would be smiling her way out...

The Icing Room’s Delicious High Tea Indulgence Menu

| |
Hi Huneybees,


*Before you procceed on reading, let me warn you that this post will make you drool after reading and that's what's happening to me now - writing the blog post my tummy growls for some dessert after dinner!



Are you guys ready to entice your taste buds with a delectable selection of Heavenly Creations from The Icing Room's High Tea Indulgence Menu? I was so happy to be invited down to 313@Somerset for a Media Tasting and now I'm introducing the all-so yummy desserts to you guys!


The Icing Room introduced their dreamy additions for an afternoon delight for you and your friends, family and loved ones. Exclusively available at The Icing Room at 313@somerset and Junction 8, these desserts are perfect for those who fancy sitting down to a session of pampering the taste buds.



Sushi looking cakes!
The Icing Room has always been known to be selling sweet desserts and famous for the personalised D.I.Y. cakes. 






 
From gloriously luxurious macarons to special creations of dessert shooters, behold and embrace a
selection of mouth-watering delights created by The Icing Room’s pastry chefs.
 

 DECOR OF THE ICING ROOM (DINING IN AREA OF 313@SOMERSET)

 


   



HIGH TEA INDULGENCE MENU

Double Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream. Ice cream on top of a hot chocolate cake is definitely my to-die-for dessert!
Brownie with Chocolate Ice Cream.
 This year, the menu introduces a boon to chocolate lovers such as the Double Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream ($6.80) and Brownie with Chocolate Ice Cream ($4.20). These
offerings are baked to perfection with the finest ingredients and will satisfy the most intense of
chocolate cravings.

Who can resist a Crème Brulee? I love the sugar coating on top and this time instead of just a small cup, you get it in a plate almost triple what you can find out there! Sweet right?!

A magnificent sweet indulgence such as the Crème Brulee with Berries ($4.80) is a classic
must-have dish that is served in gratifying portions to satisfy the hankerings of the sweet tooth.
Laced with the juiciest of berries and flamed to meticulous perfection of golden caramelization,
this dessert is a perennial favourite to relish. 


Adding on to the new menu is the iconic Ice Cream Cookie Puff with Pistachio ($3.80). A nutty accent of rich pistachio complements the mouth-play of textures as creamy ice-cream is tucked into crisp fluffy cookie puffs adding pleasurable sweetness to any tea-time session.

Top: Cherry Crumble and Lemon Cream Crumble
Bottom: Mixed Berries Crumble


With a playful twist and a careful blend of intricate flavours, selections from the Ice Cream on
the Rocks assortment are lip-smacking delights that bring a gratifying interplay of textures. One
can choose between Cherry, Lemon Cream or Mixed Berries Crumble ($3.50) freshly baked
in the kitchens of The Icing Room and pair it with smooth vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice
cream. So good, licking remaining smears is an assured end-note.


I had the Lemon Cream Crumble. I love how big and chunky the crumbles are, you can totally much them on their own or just sink your teeth into the ice cream with their specially made Lemon Cream. I say give me 10 of these and it's still not enough!


Accept nothing but luscious silky goodness with each decadent mouthful of dessert shooters
from The Icing Room. With a harmonious pairing of velvety custard base and chunks of fresh
fruit toppings, this enchanting treat packaged in petite shot glasses are refreshingly luscious treats of choice. One can choose among the Blueberry Panna Cotta, Strawberry Panna Cotta and Peach Panna Cotta ($3.50) to enjoy.

Blueberry Panna Cotta, Strawberry Kirsch Jelly and Lychee Jelly.
Panna Cotta's my thing, it's milky, it's creamy and with the blueberry on top, it makes it less sinful and definitely more refreshing on your palette. As for the Jelly's, other ladies at the table were loving it as they said it's light, cooling for a warm day, and also less sinful. I can see it as the ladies top favourite already.


Perfect for those with a penchant for saccharine crystal pleasures, the Strawberry Kirsch Jelly
and Lychee Jelly ($3.50) shooters are irresistible treats.


 

The Macaron Ispahan ($3.50) is crowned with an enchanting macaron and deliciously paired with silky custard and strawberry infused jelly.


HIGH TEA INDULGENCE SET PROMOTIONS


The Icing Room presents three indulgence sets for a variety of choices during high tea
sessions. A range of delightful macarons, cookie puffs, sliced cakes, muffins, dessert shooters,
coffee and tea are available for customers to choose from.


PROMOTIONAL SETS:
  • Indulgence Set A ($13.80) Comes with a cookie puff, two macarons, cheese bar, choice of sliced cake with coffee or tea
  • Indulgence Set B ($5.80) Comes with a choice of sliced cake and coffee or tea
