Weekend Baking

Some photos of the chocolate cherry cupcakes and mini victoria sponges I baked for my Aunt's Birthday over the weekend.






Thankfully for my New Year healthy eating kick most of them have been eaten and there aren't too many leftovers...

If anyone is interested in the recipes just let me know and I can get them written up.

Sunday FOTD

I thought I'd post the simple make up I wore today as I had my camera out to take some snaps of my baking from this weekend.

What I wore..

MAC Lipstick in Hue

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Boots 17 Eye Liner Pencil in Black (waterline)

Rimmel Liquid Liner in Black (eyelid)

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Waterproof Mascara in Black

So there ya have it. I'm half thinking about growing out my fringe but I don't know... it's like my security blanket. What do you think?

I might go for similar make up tomorrow and be braver with the end flicks.

Hope you've had a lovely weekend!

New Years Eve 2011 - OOTD/FOTD/NOTD

I hope you've all had a fabulous NYE and an even better 2012. I ended up going out last night quite unexpectedly. We had planned a quiet night in with a takeaway but I was getting itchy feet about wanting to get dressed up so we ended up going out and meeting friends. Sometimes last minute ideas are the best ones though for the 3rd night out during this festive period I had failed to fake tan! I'm not a big fake tanner - it's usually strictly for nights out but recently I just CANNOT BE BOTHERED. It seems like a good idea until I see my ghost like self in photos beside other people though. Ooops.

Anyway here are some photos of what I wore etc. Sorry about the quality. I have some better ones but they include other people and I don't want to have them apprearing on my slightly dirty little secret blog so you''l have to make to with these...

Dress - from ASOS in 2009
Jacket - recent TK Maxx (£14.99)
Boots - Dorothy Perkins 2010
Tights - ASOS £10

Watch - DKNY 2007
Bag - Dune 2008ish

Face - Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, MUA pressed powder, Benefit Georgia

Eyes - Illamasqua Liquid Metal Phenomena, Avon supershock eyeliner, Eyelure eyelashes, Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Waterproof Mascara, MAC Carbon

Lips - MAC creme d'nude

Nails - Rimmel Lycra Pro in Beige Style

Hair - I used my new Babyliss Root Boost for the first time (Mr L bought me one for Christmas) and I must say I was super impressed but will do a proper review soon!

So there you have it. It's quite a mix of my favourite clothes and make up at the minute. I think I've included everything there. I was slightly scared that the tights were TOO MUCH but in the end I loved them but know they aren't for everyone.

I hope you all enjoyed your NYE as much as I did.
