Baking | Chocolate and Strawberry Cupcake Decoration

What's better in Summer than strawberry themed cupcakes? Strawberries are very British and Summer related and when I saw these strawberries in Budgens I picked up some packets. And what goes well with strawberries? Chocolate! My favourite thing besides makeup. 
You will Need:

Iced cupcake 
Punnet of strawberries
Chocolate strands
Cadbury's chocolate bar
Icing sugar to dust
With the prepared cupcake, sprinkle some of the chocolate strands on the cupcake.
Wash and prepare the strawberries by removing the green leaves. Cut them in half and remove the top of the stalk from the inside. Place this in the side of the icing.


I just happened to have a bar of chocolate standing by so I broke it into chunks and stuck this opposite the strawberry.
I finished off with a dusting of icing sugar which was something my mum suggested.
I love how these turned out and they are so nice to eat!

I hope you guys enjoyed this cupcake decorating post.

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
