Hello again, this post is my current makeup wishlist and this is a collab with the ever so gorgeous Liv, so after you finished reading my post, head on over to her blog to check hers out!

My current makeup wishlist consists of the following products: 


1. Naked 3 by Urban Decay- I've been wanting this palette for ages now, I love the pink colours and I love how versatile this palette can be.


2. Nars 'Orgasm' blush- not particularly fond of the name, but i love the subtle pink glow this gives off and i think its perfect for spring time.


3. Nyx 'milk' eye pencil- this seems like a weird thing to put on a wishlist but i love this pencil for lining the lower waterline as it gives off a fresh, bright look.


4.Nyc bronzer- I've been looking for a really subtle/natural bronzer and after i swabbed this i fell in love, it looks super natural on the skin which is perfect for summer bronzing.


5. Rimmel London, Kate Moss '107' lipstick- this lipstick is more for the autumn/ winter time but I've wanted it for ages and i think i can make it work by lightening it slightly for the spring time.


6. L'oreal True Match foundation- this foundation is supposedly really 'dewy' and highlighting, and as unfortunate for me i suffer from dry skin on my forehead(thanks to me burning like crazy last summer) this foundation is meant to be moisturizing and appear as a light coverage.


7. Anastasia Dip Brow- i have fair skin, therefore my hair is quite fair too, so i do lack in the eyebrow department and this is meant to be really natural and the different shades are meant to match your skin personally.


8. Body Shop BB cream- again with the dry skin, having a BB cream as an alternative to a foundation i find is much more flattering in the spring and summer time, so this would be perfect for a light coverage along with some concealer. 


There all my current makeup products on my wishlist, there are more things but these are the ones at the top. Hopefully i'll be able to purchase some in the future and you'll be able to see them on my blog or my instagram.

How could you celebrate Easter without a chocolate cake? Todays post is a simple cake recipe, specifically decked out for the Easter celebration.

Ingredients and Measurements:

All my measurements are in oz's because i have a real old fashioned scale.

12 oz of self raising flour
12 oz of caster sugar
12 oz of baking butter/margarine
6 oz of coca powder
6 oz icing sugar
6 large eggs
3 packets of mini eggs
1 pot of Betty Crocker 'Chocolate Icing'
1 packet of chocolate fingers.

Recipe:

So, i used a basic cake recipe from my mum, but i made triple the amount because they're 3 cakes stacked together.

PRE HEAT YOUR OVEN, MINE WAS ON GAS MARK 6

CAKE
1. add the butter and sugar to a bowl, beat together until a creamy consistency.
2. add the eggs, one at a time and beat together until mixed.
3. sieve the flour in small portions and fold into the mixture using a metal spoon.
4. separate out 2 baking pans worth of mixture.
5. add coca powder to the remaining mixture and fold in well.
6. place all cake tins into the oven for around 15 minutes (time is different for all ovens)

INSIDE BUTTER CREAM
While the cakes are cooking, take 6 oz of butter and put into a bowl, gradually add icing sugar until preference with sweetness. This will be added to stick the cakes together later, once they have cooled.

Once the cakes have cooled, paste the butter cream between each layer and stack on top of each other making sure its straight. Leave to rest for about 5 minutes.

DECORATING
Take the icing from Betty Crocker and begin to place all over the cake, it needs to be a thick layer because we are going to use it as glue for our decorations. Once all the icing is used, leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Take the chocolate fingers and stick them around the outside of the cake, this is going to create out basket/gate. Then take the packets of mini eggs and place them all over the top of the cake, as many as preferred. I USED 3 PACKETS!

Leave to cool in the fridge for around 1 hour, this will give the icing time to harden.

EATING
THEN EAT THE WHOLE CAKE AND ENJOY IT, ITS EASTER!

I hope you enjoyed this post, its my first ever recipe/baking post and i really enjoyed making it. If you'd like to see more comment below and they'll definitely be some more in the future!

Hello again, the other day i was randomly searching through amazon for makeup brushes/sets, when i came across these '10 piece professional makeup brushes'. When i saw the word 'professional' i was expecting the price to be pretty high, was i wrong?. These brushes cost me £1.99 and free postage, however i did have a £5 voucher so they were retailed for £6.99 and i thought today i would review them for you, in case you wanted to purchase them but had a few worries, i know i do when i buy online.

This set comes with 5 eye brushes, which are; a hard pointed brush, a fluffy flat edge brush, an angled hard brush, an angled fluffy brush and a normal fluffy brush. I find these brushes are super easy to use and surprisingly they don't malt or leave any unwanted bristles on your face. I like the 2 fluffier brushes as they make blending eye shadows inside and outside the crease really easy and looks flawless. The pointed brush i use for concealer around the eyes and i love it, it blends well and is easy to get into those difficult spots. Overall, i am super happy with the result of these eye brushes.


The set also comes with 5 face brushes, which are; a pointed brush, a flat top brush, a round top brush, a short bristle stippling brush and an angled round brush. I find all these brushes can be used for multiple things, from foundation to powders, to blushers and bronzers, so there is no set purpose for these. Again, these brushes haven't malted or left unwanted bristles stuck to your face, so i'm pretty impressed considering the price was as low as it was.


Overall, i am super happy with my choice for these brushes, if you want the link to the brushes comment below and i'll comment back the link. I don't want to include it here, because i am not sponsoring them in any way. All opinions are my own and i wouldn't review anything to you that i didn't really like.
