BAKING GIRL //





Decided to try out this yummy chocolate peanut butter cupcake recipe (with a few personal changes). It worked out really well, and for the icing I just did a classic butter icing with peanut butter mixed through it and some hundreds and thousands. They taste fabulous, a perfect end to a weekend full of History revision (module test tomorrow on German nationalism). If you try the recipe, let me know how they turned out!

MY LIFE IN PICTURES //

CURRENT FAVOURITES //


Not many makeup faves right now, as I mostly just use the same products. But having received the original Ghost perfume for christmas (nostalgia in a bottle!) I have been using everyday, and I luuurve it! The Revlon PhotoReady foundation has quickly become my most favourite foundation, it gives you a flawless yet natural finish, and it doesn't break me out! MAC's Mineralize Skinfinish Natural is my favourite setting powder right not, it's really beautiful and doesn't look cakey - looks glowy! Finally on the makeup front is Nails Inc.'s Savile Row Nail Polish such a gorgeous plum purple, it's very flattering and perfect for the season! 














Only two products for skincare this month. First off is the St. Ives Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub such a good face scrub for the price, it's really good for getting rid of the odd blemish, and I also sometimes use it as a mask (doesn't say on the bottle, but it does try to a mask!) I cannot fault it! Nivea's Soft Cream is by far, the best moisturiser I have ever used, and I've used many! You can use it on face and body, I only use it on my face and it's great under makeup, it helps keep excess oil at bay, and you get so much product for your hard earned cash!


























3 hair products all by James Brown (3 for £10 offer at boots woohooo!) The Photo Fabulous Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner are simply fabulous! They smell amazing (smell is similar to Lush!) and they leave your hair super silky and soft! Also the Firm Hold Hairspray is bloody amazing! Makes your 'do' last all night without leaving it all gross and crispy, it also smells like Lush!

so there ya have it, my Current/January favourites, what are YOUR favourite products right now?
