Hi guys, so today I am going to be sharing with you my top five baking recipes.

 

1- Tanya's Triple Chocolate Cookies

I recently did a post about these cookies so if you want to find out how to make them check it out.

 

 

2- Cake Pops

Cake pops are super fun and easy to make in a cake pop maker. You can make cake pops without a cake pop maker and you can find great recipes in the book "Cake Pops By Helen Attridge and Abby Foy".

 

 

3- Oreo Cupcakes

I also did a blog post on these quite recently and the recipe is really easy and affordable.

 

4- Melting Moments

These are little biscuits with a cherry on top. Recipe - http://www.be-ro.co.uk/recipe/showrec25.html

 

5-Vienesse Biscuits

I haven't actually tried this recipe my self but I love Viennese Biscuits. http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/viennese_whirls_78348

 Hey guys. So today I am going to be sharing with you my favourite drugstore products.

Skincare

The first product is the Boots Simply Sensitive eye make up removal pads. These take off eye make up really easily but are really gentle on my eyes. You get 30 pads in the pack for £3.19

The last skincare product I am going to be showing you is the Boots Simply Sensitive deep cleansing face mask. You get 75ml for £3.19. It has quite a thick consistency so you don't need to much at once I have had mine for 3 months and it isn't even half way down. I recommend using it once or twice a week.

Make-up

A lipstick I love is from Natural Collection in Pink Mallow. This shade is a pretty matte pink nude. However I do find that it us a little drying so I like to use a lip scrub and balm underneath.Pink Mallow is £1.99 and is from Boots only.




An eye palette I have been loving from Superdrug is the Tanya Burr Hollywood eye palette. All four shades are neutral shades so they would suit any eye colour and skin tone. This palette was £5.99 from Superdrug. It is also available online at www.feelunique.com .





 



Hi everyone so today I am going to be telling you about the products I want to try.

The first product is the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. I have been wanting to try this product for a while now as everyone constantly says how good it is. I always get told how pigmented the shades are how long lasting they are. It is £23 and is available and Debenhams

A bronzer people recommend a lot is the Nars Laguna bronzer. Everyone says it is a great bronzer but also doubles up as a nude/bronze eyeshadow. It is £27.50 from lookfantastic. It is also available in Nars shops.

A lip product I want to try is the MAC chremesheen lipstick in Speak Louder. All MAC lipsticks are £15.50 and are available in all MAC stores and online at www.maccosmetics.co.uk

The final product I want to try is the Rimmel Kate Moss Matte lipstick in 110. No one has recommend this shade to me but many people have recommended the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks.



Hi guys so today I am going to be sharing another recipe with you which I know I have been doing a lot recently but you seem to like them so I thought I would try and upload some more recipes. Today I am going to be sharing Tanya Burr's Smarties flapjacks recipe.

 Ingredients for 10 flapjacks

125g butter

125g sugar

6 tbsp. golden syrup

250g porridge oats

2 tubes of Smarties - one  tube in the mixture and one for decoration


First pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Then melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat and add the golden syrup and sugar. Once then sugar has dissolved and then butter has melted add the porridge oats and a tube of Smarties. Then put the flapjacks into a baking tin and put a tube of Smarties over the top. Finally bake it in the oven for 20 minutes.

Hi everyone... So today I am going to be sharing with you my favourite lush products.

My all time favourite Lush product is The Comforter bubble bar. If you don't know what a bubble bar is it's you crumble a little section into the running water and it makes loads of bubbles. The Comforter usually lasts 4-5 baths as it is a little bigger than the other bubble bars. The Comforter is £4.75 but personally I think it's really worth it. The Comforter smells like berries and contains bergamot oil.

The next product is also a bubble bar this one is called Milky Bath. Until recently, Milky Bath was an Oxford street only product but a couple of weeks ago Lush released some of the oxford street  products and one of them was milky bath. Milky Bath is a really moisturising bubble bar that has orange oil, cocoa butter and skimmed milk in it. Milky bath is £3.75 and it lasts about 3-4 baths.

Intergalactic was also an Oxford Street product. Intergalactic is a bath bomb so this is used all at once and doesn't make bubbles but it turns your bath a really pretty colour and smells amazing. It smells of peppermint and has popping candy in it that explodes in the bath. Inter galactic is £3.95 and is a really pretty dark / normal blue with silver specs of glitter.

Another of my Lush favourites is Avobath which is a light green coloured bath bomb it has avocado in it but it doesn't smell that much of avocado as it has other things in it like bergamot oil and lemongrass oil. Avoabath is £3.35 and it turns your bath a light/lime green colour which tiny little specs of silver glitter.

Mmmelting marshmallow moment is also another of my favourite Lush products. It is a bath melt so it slows melts away in the bath and is really moisturising. It is pink and once it has all melted it turns your bath and pale pink. Mmmelting marshmallow moment is £3.95

The final product I am going to share with you is a shower cream called The Comforter shower cream which is the same scent as The Comforter bubble bar. The shower cream is pink and has tiny multi colour sparkles in it but when you use it the sparkles don't come off onto your skin. For 100g it is £4.75, for 250g it is £9.50, for 500g it is £15.95 and for 1KG it is £27.50.

Hey guys so today I am going to be sharing with you one of my favourite cupcake recipes -- Oreo Cupcakes. These cupcakes are really fun and easy to make.

 

Ingredients for 12 cupcakes

 

200g Plain Flour

40g Cocoa Powder

280g Caster Sugar

3 tsp Baking Powder

80g Unsalted butter

240ml Milk

2 Eggs

1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract

12 Oreos

12 Muffin cases

 

Icing

 

100g Unsalted Butter

160g Cream Cheese

350g Icing Sugar
6 Oreos

 

 

First preheat your oven to 170 degrees C and line a muffin tray with 12 muffin cases. Then  twist 12 Oreos to separate them and put a half in cream side up. Put the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and butter into a bowl and mix until it is a sandy consistency. Then whisk the milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a separate jug. Then slowly add half the mixture into the flour mixture and beat well to make sure there is no lumps. Then gradually add the rest of the milk mixture and whisk until smooth. Finally add the mixture equally into the 12 cases and bake the cakes for 20 - 25 minutes. Whilst the cakes are cooking smash up 6 oreos in a bag and put them to one side. Then whisk the butter, cream cheese and icing sugar together the  gently add in the oreos. Once the cakes have cooled pipe on the icing and use any left over oreos to decorate.

Hey everyone, before I start I just want to say a massive thank you to all of you... I wasn't expecting anyone at all to read my blog but the amount of pageviews I have been receiving is insane. Now onto my favourite lip products...

The first lipstick I have been loving is the MAC lustre lipstick in the shade Plumful. I love the way the lipstick feels really creamy and moisturising on my lips. The shade is ideal for winter as it is a beautiful berry toned lipstick.

A lip gloss I have been loving is the Tanya Burr lip gloss in the shade Aurora. This colour is really nice for during the day if you don't want something as vibrant or pigmented as a lipstick. It is a really pretty nude with a hint of pink. But Tanya has recently updated the range and is no longer selling Aurora but I am sure many places sell a similar colour.

 

The final two products I have been loving are the Maybelline Baby Lips Hydrate and the Lush popcorn lip scrub. I use the products twice a day- when I wake up and when I got to bed. I find that using these products together makes my lips really soft.
