April Favourites

As if it's May already, next month i'll be in Thailand and will have finished my University degree!!

Anyways, here is my favourite products from last month. I didn't spend too much on beauty as I am trying my best to save so here they are :)... 

Nars Sheer Glow: I am so grateful for beauty bloggers reviewing and raving about this product, its absoloutly beautiful. Just wish it wasn't so expensive and that hopefully the pump will come in stock in SpaceNK soon.

Clinique bottom lash mascara: Love love love this! I am useless with mascara and manage to get it everywhere but this works perfectly to grab every little lash.

Mac Brushes: Finnalllyyy I bought myself the MAC 217 & 266 eyebrow brush! I didn't think they would make much of a different buttt ohh they do. They are denser than my original brushes and the 217 has made eyeshadow blending so so easy!

Nars Orgasm lipgloss: I have never really worn lipgloss, it just always reminds me of when I was younger and playing with loads of makeup however having a mini version of this has made me realize I need some more lipgloss in my life ha. 

Carmex: Just because I have been ill and my lips are dying at the moment ha. 

Sally Hansen Kook the Mango vanish: Coral is my fav nail colour (other than pink). Its not a harsh red, nor a bright orange but just a lovely shade that I feel makes you look a little summery and looks perfect with a tan! 

:) P.s still adoring my Naked 3 palette too!! 

Statement Necklace for Spring/Summer

I've never really been into my necklaces but decided that if I bought one that I adored I would hopefully wear it with everything!
I went into Outfit the other day and found this lovely statement necklace, with hints of bright pinks, corals and grays I find it the perfect spring time necklace and have worn it with almost every outfit this week! 

I think I found it in Dorothy Perkins... but I can't find it on the website so maybe it wasn't.

Kathryn Bakes: Coffee & Lotus Biscuit Spread Cupcakes!

Ahww man, I have the worse cold at the moment so have been stuck in bed for a few days, a travel jab certainly hasn't helped either! 

One thing that will always (maybe not always) will get me up is baking and here I present my Coffee (with a hint of chocolate) and Lotus Biscuit Spread cupcakes! And yes these are dairy free!! :) I used this recipe  as inspiration but  without all the fiddly things such as baking powder/salt/oil/milk etc and used my standard recipe with some cocoa powder to thicken up the mixture when I added around 6 tsp of coffee! Also used Stork Block Butter :) and Pure Margarine! 

My taste buds aren't working at the moment so I have no idea how strong/nice/not nice these cakes are haha. Fingers cross someone will like them :) 

As for the Lotus Spread, everyone must try it. My friend recently bought some back from France until we later realised you can buy it in the super market ha. It tastes exactly like the coffee biscuits and they even do a crunchy version. Try not to get too addicted though as I can imagine it isn't the healthiest of spreads.
