This is the last UK chocolate post from me ;p This time I’m going to share Thorntons Dark Chocolate with Mint with you.
The mint was quite strong but did not assault my taste buds. It’s my first time had such strong mint taste chocolate. Was expecting that it would be quite bitter but it was not that bitter. The strange thing was that it felt like I’m having candy instead of chocolate.
Overall, it was a surprise as it’s different from the typical chocolates that I had.
Just a quick one.
Do you notice that there’s surely firecrackers for all the festivals or occasions no matter which race celebrate them? I’m not talking about fireworks, fireworks are common but firecrackers. Even though firecrackers (or event fireworks) are illegal here but people here are playing with it like it’s no big deal.
It used to be the Chinese people that will have this tradition of playing the firecrackers during Chinese New Year, wedding, and so on. Now, even other races in Malaysia are playing it, it’s rampant when it’s near to the festival season, the eve of festival and during the festival. Do you notice such trend? I must say that it’s very unique, don’t you think so? I guess we can even beat China in this *LOL*
That’s how unique Malaysia is. We are adopting various cultures from various ethnicity in our lives. Hopefully the peace and harmony will last but I have this fear that it will not last because there are many selfish people or extremists around that want to ruin our unity. Agree?
Sorry about the lousy quality of the photo, I was lazy to get my camera which was in the living room, I just took my phone to take these photos in the bedroom.
I had finished using Biore UV Perfect Face Milk and decided to try something else. Watched Queen/女人我最大 (Nu Ren Wo Zui Da) introduced one of the sunblocks by Loreal so I planned to get it. Since all the packaging are similar, I ended up buying Loreal Longlasting UVA/UVB Protector (Even Complexion) after considering and comparing for quite awhile at Guardian.
It was below RM30 because there was promotion that time. Original price should be above RM30. Obviously I bought the wrong product, the one introduced in Queen was white in colour, the one I’m using is tinted.
I used it as the last step of my skincare routine. I did not like the texture at first because it didn’t turn matte and it’s slightly sticky(I tried stickier ones before, Nivea and Avene, ewww…). It could be spread easily leaving my skin with some shine. Before I applied my makeup, I would dab it with tissue paper to get rid of the stickiness if I’m rushing to go out else I will apply my makeup 10 minutes later. I experienced a bit of breakouts in the beginning but after using it for few more times, I had no problem with it.
Many UV protectors(Pure & Mild – My very first UV protector, used it for almost 10 years but not using it now because I wanted to try some other brands; Biore, Nivea, and Avene) that I had used did not solve the problem of dry cheeks, after applying them, I would surely have flakes at my cheek area which I had to sweep them off with my fingers but usually it won’t be gone completely. On the other hand, Loreal Longlasting UVA/UVB Protector does not have this problem at all! Yay to this!
I do suffer from uneven skin tone. I noticed that after about 2 hours, my skin tone looked even. That’s because the effect was not obvious in the beginning and I only get to see the mirror 2 or 3 hours later ;p
As for oil control, at least my face wasn’t that oily compared to using other UV Protectors except Biore’s.
Overall, I’m quite satisfied with it. If it can help in mattifying my face, it will be even better. Still, at least it’s better than the rest.
Before I end the post, here’s a very important reminder, do not apply your makeup immediately after UV protector, you should wait at least 5 minutes for the UV protector to settle down into your skin to be effective else the effect equals to nothing no matter how high the SPF is. I got this tip from Queen.
Finally Hot & Roll @ The Spring is now open for business!
Did you try it out? I have not try it hehehe… Went there last night, saw it but it’s late already, not going to eat anything especially one hour before sleep because I might have problem sleeping. Just took some photos and left.
The cheapest food on the menu is RM3.90, the most expensive is RM6.90.
Gonna try it out some other time.
Here you go… Another chocolate from Thorntons, Thorntons White Chocolate with Coconut and Lime.
Surprisingly, I like it to bits!
I didn’t really taste the lime but the coconut and the white chocolate were heavenly! The coconut is not your usual dessicated coconut which you can usually find in chocolate with coconut. Instead, it was crispy and crunchy. The dessicated coconut was toasted. See the brown pieces?
I was expecting it to be very sweet. It was sweet indeed but the sweet was the nice kind of sweet, not the kind that make me felt like I’m loading my system with sugar.
I want more of this!!
