Char-Grill Bar

Char-Grill Bar
Blk 727 Clementi West St 2
#01-294
S'pore 120727

It's our first time trying their items today and it's worth trying!
There's an open carpark in front of the coffee shop. =D




















Salmon & Tomato Baked Rice - $7.90

















There's lots of cheese given, as you can see in the picture above. =)

They used friend rice instead of white rice, so it's more tasty. There's a chunk of salmon with SKIN in the middle of the bake rice.. Unlike some western stalls that we have tried where only few strips of salmon can be seen in their dishes...

Their portion is quite big too, due to the generous amount of cheese given.

Recommended! =P



Porkloin Chop - $6.90



















Unlike normal pork chop, their porkloin chop is soft and tender. Not too dry and tough. Even my mum who can't eat hard food due to her teeth, enjoyed this!

It comes with 2 side dishes, which we can choose from their Hot/Cold Item list. We chose Season Vegetable (Brocoli & Cauliflower) and Potato Salad. Their brocoli and cauliflower is normal, nothing fantastic. However, their potato salad is nice. :)


We will patronise again to try other items in their menu. It's worth the $. =D

Crocs - Tone Series


Crocs (Tone series)

Pros: Sufficient cushioning, durable, washable
Con: Increases static

Price: $29.60 + $6 delivery charge (Sale price)






I bought this from Crocs online website, when it's on sale... 

Initially, I was worried that I will have problem balancing  with this shoe due to its curved sole. After wearing several times, I began to like its curved sole as it acts as cushioning for my heels. Most of the shoes that I have causes my heels to feel tired/ache after walking for some time.

I used to wear shoes from shops like D & C, price ranging from $20+ to $30+... Common problems with those shoes are insufficient cushioning, "crocodile opening" and slippery soles. Crocs does not give these problems. On rainy days, I will rinse my shoe when I reach home. =D

However, it gives lots of static when I am in air-con room. =X

I will always visit their website when it's almost time to buy a new pair of shoes.. and will buy their sale items when there's suitable ones. Recommended. =D

Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips

Veet
EasyGrip Ready to Use Wax Strips
Price: $3.90 (8 Ready to Use Wax Stips + 2 Perfect Finish Wipes)









































Pro: Hair grows slower and thinner after waxing
Cons: Causes itch, not as convenient as hair removal creams

They have 3 choices of wax strips with different ingredients to suit different skin types.
I have tried Vitamin E & Almond for Sensitive Skin and Aloe Vera for Dry Skin.

Both causes some little bumps on my skin and it's really itchy. I am always very annoyed with the itch.. as I can't possibly keep scratching to relief the itch when I am not at home.. lol I will look like a monkey scratching underarms... 0.0

As written on the instructions, the strip needs to be pulled off quickly, otherwise, the glue will be stuck to the hair and it's a big hassle removing the clumps of glue.. There are two small packs of Perfect Finish Wipes. It does help to remove some stickiness after waxing. If the paper is used up, baby oil can be used too.

Though it is effective in removing hair, slows down growth and reduces the thickness when regrown, I am still considering if I should still repurchase this.. perhaps I will only use it on my legs.. Hopefully, they will improve their ingredients, so that it won't cause itch. =)

Olay Night Firming Cream

Olay Night Firming Cream




















Pros: Doesn't make me break out, moisturizing, tones, affordable
Cons: Slightly oily

I have finished 1 bottle of this product. As I dont have much saggy skin, I am unable to comment about its firming effect. However, it did help to tone my skin a little. Thought it is a little oily, but it doesn't cause break outs.. and since this is a night cream, I will be cleansing my face before going to work anyway.. so the shine on my face is ok for me =) 

It's suitable for those who sleeps in air con room as it is moisturizing enough.

I will definitely recommend this product as it is affordable. I will not be repurchasing this product in the near future as I wish to try other moisturzers of O

My Beauty Diary Apple Polyphenol Mask


My Beauty Diary
Apple Polyphenol Mask
Oil Control & Pore Constringing
Price: S$14.50/box (10 sheets)




Pro: Apple Juice Scent
Con: Slightly drying

Though this fits my face better, but it requires applying moisturizer after use, which is not so convenient... and even after applying my daily moisturizer, my skin still feels a little tight, which doesnt happen when I don't use this mask.

I have finished using my first box. Did not see any visible improvement on my pores, slightly drying, and is higher priced than My Scheming Masks... I will not be supporting thisproduct

Etude House Eye Primer


Etude House
Primer (Eye)
Price: $10.90





















Pros: Affordable, effective, glow
Con: none

I will always use this product before applying eyeshadow. It adds a little glow to my eyelid (has the effect of white eyeshadow) - It makes the eyeshadow last longer and stand out more. =D

It has a creamy texture, but does not make my eyelids oily at all.

I strongly recommend this product as it is affordable and is defintely worth the price. =)
