MUA Undress Me Too

This marvellous little palette which I found in Superdrug a while back is a wonderful mix of neutral shades. With some matte and some packed full of shimmer, these eye shadows are pretty much the perfect shades for both daytime and night wear.

Coffee and Walnut Layer Cake

Unfortunately the hectic university schedule has meant that I haven't been able to blog for a while, but when I popped home last weekend I managed to fit in a spot of baking. My grandad has been a bit under the weather recently so I thought I'd make him his favourite cake; coffee and walnut. However, instead of making the traditional type where everything is mixed into the same layer, I thought I'd separate the cake into three different layers of coffee, walnut and vanilla. As a result, when you cut through the cake you can see the defined layers in each slice, with each layer sandwiched with coffee buttercream.

Lemon & Poppy Seed Cupcakes

At the moment, as you might be able to tell, I'm trying to get creative and concoct some of my own cake recipes. After compiling a long list of random ideas, I made these lemon and poppy seed cupcakes. In this recipe, I used quite a lot of poppy seeds, but if you wanted to tone it down a bit anything from 25g to 50g would be fine. The recipe makes about 12 cupcakes.

Coconut & White Chocolate Cupcakes

I made these white chocolate and coconut cupcakes the other day as part of my continuing recipe experimentation. I didn't think they would be but these cakes are really sickly...maybe I put too much chocolate in them! The recipe makes 12 cupcakes.

Skin Art: Birds and Clouds

Noticing that I had some Skin Art nail stickers left over, I thought I'd create this look. They make for a fab nail accessory and they actually lasted a lot longer than I expected.

Lemon & Raspberry Cupcakes

Ever since I was little it's been a family tradition to go strawberry and raspberry picking. Each summer, as soon as the strawberries come into season, my nan and I take a trip to a local 'pick your own' farm and fill countless punnets with fresh strawberries and raspberries.
