I received a sample size of Lancome’s Hynose Drama in excessive black from my mother’s friend. It lasted me a good 1.5 month.
You know how I feel about high end mascara…overpriced. But then, I do admit most of them are very good. But then, we got drugstore mascaras where they do well too!
So how is Hynose Drama? VERY GOOD! The name fits the product very well. It gave me very voluminous darkest black eyelashes ever! But it can get spiderleg-like very easily – it doesn’t give very defined eyelashes.
Albeit I really adore Hynose Drama, I really hate its smell. It’s heavily scent that makes me think the product has gone bad. The scent gets worse as time goes.
I guess this little compromise does not drag down the overall performance of the mascara.
Will I purchase a full size? Ummm…because I just hesitated, then I will say no. As the time being, my budget does not permit lavish spendings in make-up. Maybe later!
But I highly suggest for those that are in the lookout for an effective mascara. This is one can definitely give WOW lashes!

I think I am so late in the game to eat at Ben & Florentine. Can you blame me? Breakfast club is all I need. Ok. I really need to stop mentioning Breakfast Club over and over…. I’mma overhype that place.
Back to Ben & Florentine. This restaurant was suggested many times but every time I refused to try it. Well this time, I was up for it. Just have to see what’s so good about this place!
Well….?
I can see the appeal – family-oriented, affordable price, and good food.
I definitely wouldn’t say it’s THE place to go for breakfast. But because it’s so accessible and affordable, it’s a very convenient place.
Breakfast poutine
This picture doesn’t look appetizing right? Well guess what? it was delicious! Homemade potatoes with cheddar and hollandaise sauce.
A closer look. The hollandaise sauce didn’t make it heavy at all. The potatoes were excellent.
Banana and strawberry waffles
The waffles was in the thinner side and weren’t crunchy. And the batter tasted too much cinnamon.
Chicken pesto panini
I was reeled into the panini menu through their mass advertising all over in the restaurant. But sadly, the panini was more soggy than freshly grilled. But it still tasted good just lack of texture. The fries served with the panini are like Mcdonald’s, which is a good thing (I LOVE Mcdonald’s fries!) Oh and, they put a spice on the fries that makes them so much tastier.
If anyone wants to go to Ben & Florentine, I wouldn’t say no, no more.
Zuuchini
Breakfast Club is ALWAYS my number one place to go for breakfast! But sadly, it wasn’t open on Boxing day, so I had to resort to Eggsquis.
I have gone to Eggsquis a few times the past few years and every time, it served decent breakfast. I think anyone who likes traditional home ambiance would love this place. As for me…I’m just a real loyal customer of Breakfast club.
Eggs benedict
Mr. Butter wasn’t happy with his eggs benedict. From the sight at it, I think the eggs were too cooked?
Omelette
I ordered an omelette and I was pleasantly satisfied. It wasn’t something fancy or extraordinary. Just a simple omelette and that was what I was seeking for.
Strawberry and banana waffles
My mom had the waffles. It cannot be compared with Breakfast Club’s waffles! But it was still good.
Nothing to complain about their service and food quality. But it’s just missing something to appeal to me just like Breakfast Club does!

Searching for something simple? And your girl likes to drink tea? And your girl is trying to lose weight? Well, maybe Nocochi has the right gift!
ok- lol I’m being sort of sexist…it doesn’t have to be the guy giving a gift to the girl on Valentine’s gift. But I’m just trying to have a nice cool way to introduce Nocochi.
Nocochi is a great place where you like to take your time and have a sip of tea and chit chat with your friend. Or, you can simply buy some of their delicacy to home!
These tiny pastries are expensive. But every single one of them is unique. They aren’t for everyone. Some of them do not taste much. But it’s just the perfect balance for tea. My favorite would be the one the round white one where it has a hint of white chocolate.

5000 ans is a Korean restaurant I heard often about but never got the chance to try it until recently.
This place is very cozy but very HOT. So hot that I had to tell the staff to lower the heat – I was at the point of sweating…
Anyway. I will keep this review short and sweet. Why? Not much to say…it’s passable food… I wasn’t very impressed. I only found their Bibimbap good.
Note…They don’t really serve side dish for free…which is a bummer.
Salad
Udon
Korean seafood pancake
Not recommended at all. This might be one of the worst korean pancake I had…
Bibimbap
A dish I truly enjoyed.
Not sure of this dish….i’m thinking it’s Galbi but it doesn’t look thick enough to be galbi though…
They actually come to help you cook the meat – which is something I don’t really like…cuz then I have to eat the meat all at once… I want to cook one by one! so i can enjoy one by one!
Bulgogi
Can’t really screw up a Bulgogi can you? This bulgogi tasted like any other decent bulgogi…
I’m really searching for a good Korean restaurant in Montreal that serves homey authentic dishes (the unusual ones, not the usual Bulgogi, bibimbap…jachae….) Any suggestion?
