Mini MAC Haul


MAC is so nostalgic to me. When i first started getting into 'proper' make-up and decided i wanted products that felt more luxurious and special, i chose MAC.
I remember my first MAC lipstick - it was Crosswires which is a creme sheen.

Nowadays way more brands have taken fancy, such as; Charlotte Tilbury, NARS and Benefit. I fancied a few staple items and i knew MAC is that in between-company where you dont have to splash out as much money as you would be on Bobbi Brown, yet you also know its way better quality than Rimmel!

Recent Bakes





I used to spend weekends baking with my Mum in the kitchen and loved it so much. I picked up on so many little techniques that she used. When you're truly interested and invested in something is when you actually pay attention!
When choosing my GCSE's i chose Food Technology as one of them. And as much as i enjoyed the practicals, i found the theory easy as i felt like i actually understood everything. It was one of the best results i got in my GCSE's as i was never very academic and instead loved cooking and sports!
Nowadays i bake whenever i can. I dont take it too seriously and honestly, I'm not artistic! Im not sure i would be capable of doing this as a career, but i still can't help but feel slight jealously of seeing friends-of-friends small baking business's grow so much.
Here are a few cakes I've baked recently. They have the same basic recipe just with either cocoa powder, coffee or vanilla. 






Chocolate Cake (for my friends 30th)
