Juliette & Chocolat has been well known around Montreal and usually very crowded. When I go there, I take their white brownie, which is called Ivoire. soo delicious!
However, I have tried this next hot spot to soothe my sweet tooth! Cacao 70 on Ste-Catherine.
Its decor is very simple and welcoming. Nothing fancy.
We were greeted with a sample of hot chocolate, which was so delightful! It is very smooth and creamy. But I would personally find it too sweet if I were to order the real size.
Before we indulged ourselves with sweetness, we opted for a salty dish, just to fill our tummy a bit.
Here’s a beauty post. A little break from my food entries.
I feel like venturing out after finishing a few tubes of L’Oreal Voluminous. I picked up Maybelline’s Define-A-Lash and the Falsies Flared Volum’ Express.
What’s with these long names…
I only used this mascara for a few days. Why? It was flaking like crazy… Lots of black flakes would drop under my eyes upon application. It did give my lashes volume, but I just can’t stand the flakes. I never had a mascara that would do this to me. Very disappointed.
Until later…I realized that I may have bought one that came from a bad batch because I realized how dry is the product. I think, somehow, the air went into the tube when it was packaged.
Maybe I should buy another one just to testify…however…I really don’t feel like taking the chance.
Let’s move on to our next mascara. Quite a stellar.
This mascara is not meant to give volume. Like the name states, this mascara defines the lashes. What does that mean? It gives every lash nice length and separates ever lash gracefully. This results a very clean look.
In order to have a bit more volume, I would apply multiple layers at the base of my eyelashes without completely passing through to the end of the lashes.
I really love how much length this mascara gives! 🙂
It’s been almost 4 months that I am using this…and it’s near its end as it is flaking like the falsies…Therefore, this reinforces my hypothesis that the Falsies Flared may have been dried up in the package.
Here’s my lashes with Define-A-Lash.
Little update on Maximum Eyelash Conditioner:
I’ve been using Maximum Eyelash Conditioner for 6 months now. The product is fabulous. After 2 months, in order to maintain the length, I only use the product 2-3 times per week. I did not experience any allergic reaction. The conditioner helped my lashes to grow longer but not thicker.
Sadly, it seems like the company has ceased its operations and my product is running low!
I will try another brand and hoping it will yield the same result… (I just ordered Rapidlash…let’s see how does that go)
Lashes should not be downplayed!

This spot is so hidden. If you never heard about it, you wouldn’t even know this hidden gem! Why? Because nowhere indicates the restaurant name from the outside. You have to step in the restaurant and see the name of the restaurant.
I present you a much raved about restaurant in Old Port (cuz it’s opened by Chuck Hughes).
I love brunches! Weekend it’s all about waking up at 11pm. And by the time, you’re ready to step out, it’s way past noon. No fear! Brunches solve everything! Breakfast and lunch!
I introduce you to Porto Vino’s Sunday brunch! Best I had so far.
It’s 30$ per person, but it’s buffet style. Yet, they have cooks assigned to each area to serve you! They cook the omelet the way you want on the spot. Even better! You can make your own combination of waffle, pancake, crepe and french toast. (they are flambe!!!) Can’t decide? Just have them all! And skip tonight’s supper. hahahaha
What’s even more amazing to make your 30$ worth is…ALL YOU CAN EAT RAW OYSTERS! YES!
and many dessert selections! Even a chocolate fountain!
Just talking about it makes me want to go back this weekend!
I’ll let my snapshots do the talk now. (Sorrry, I didn’t try harder to make my plate more appealing…)

I have walked by this restaurant for a few times to take the metro Peel. Their hot pink LED light indoors attracted my attention every time I passed by.
If i am not mistaken, they use local food supplies. Always a plus right?
I went ahead and searched on Urbanspoon to verify their reviews….Pretty good review?! So i jumped ahead and tried it….
