A winters day!

Today I thought I would write a post on what I've been doing on a typical winters day. 

Of course since it's been the holidays I've been waking up a lot later that usual. I will then go downstairs to make some breakfast,it really depends what I decide to have that day. This particular day I just decided to have a cup of tea and some toast( I know ,boring!). My tea was in Gabbys lovely heart shaped mug though!

 

Once I ate I decided to get dressed- my outfit of choice was a knitted jumper from primark, my black Joni jeans from topshop, my coat from H&M( which I love!) and my brown boots from primark.  I actually decided not to put any makeup on, however if I was to I have done a post on my everyday make up a few posts back. 

I then decided to do some Christmassy baking- I picked Zoe's gingerbread cupcakes to bake.

 

I then went to nearby town to do some last minute Christmas shopping.... however, I didn't actually buy any present I just bought some new boots for myself! Haha! The boots I purchase were from New Look. 

We also decided to go into costa  and I got my favourite winter drink - the white hot chocolate. If you haven't tried this already you need to!

When I got back from shopping I decided to go for a bath and used my lush Magic wand. This smells just like snow fairy which is definety my favourite lush scent.

For the rest of the evening I just relaxed and watched some YouTube.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this and I of course hope you have the most amazing Christmas. I can't wait- two days to go! 

Merry Christmas!

Haul- Birthday and other bits!

If you read last weeks post you would know that last  Wednesday it was my birthday ,so I thought I would share some of my  presents with you.  I also went shopping recently with my friends so I included some of the bits I picked up then as well.

One of the most exciting things I  recieved was a pandora bracelet, this is just the original silver charm bracelet. I was so excited to receive this as I feel it is a very sentimental gift as it is something I can always keep and add charms to.

When I was shopping of course I went into lush! I picked up the Yog nog bath bomb- which smells line toffee, the comforter- which smell like Ribena and the Magic wand bubble bar which has the classic snow fairy scent.

 I then recieved the Golden wonder and stardust bath bombs as a gift set from Megan.

I also received some Soap and Glory bits and pieces- I got a shower gel, a shower butter and a body scrub as well as receiving the hand cream set that comes with three hand creams-one in the original scent one in smoothie star and finally one in the scent sugar crush/ which is my favourite!

We went into primark when we were shopping and of course I couldn't come out empty handed!  I decided to pick up a few things to decorate my Christmas tree in my room with, I got some fairy lights( £2.50) and baubles(£2.50).

In primark I also picked this little black bag up , this was on sale for only £5! I'm so pleased with this purchase and it's definitely a new favourite and staple item of mine.

For my birthday I also received this Jack Wills make up bag, this is a great size and it will definitely be coming with me whenever I'm travelling.

Lastly one of my favourite things I recieved was the Liz Earle Cleanse and polish, I recieved this as a gift and i love it so far. It removes  my make up so easily an leaves my face feeling clean and revitalised. I definitely recommend picking this up, it is also the perfect gift! 

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the different bits and pieces I have acquired recently. It's now getting so close to Christmas- around 10 days when you are reading this- and I am so excited.

Winter skin care and everyday make up routine.

Hi! It's so close to Christmas now and my birthdays tomorrow! I love this time of year, our Christmas tree is up and I've got a mini one in my bedroom- making me even more excited for Christmas!

Since skincare becomes so important in the winter I thought I would hate my skincare routine and show you my everyday winter make up routine. I hope you enjoy- I do also recommend every product I use, so if you check any out tweet me your thoughts of it- @TeaT52.

In the winter I try and take extra care of my skins because the cold weather casue a it to become a lot more sensitive and dry. 

The products I use are-

In the morning I use the simply pure toner on a cotton pad and massage that into my face before applying my moisturiser,which is the Simply pure serum. Then in the evening I use the Garnier Micellar cleansing water to remove my make up before using my clearasil face wash to wash my face. After I've dried my face I once again use my serum.

My daily make up is very simple as I don't  like to have a lot of make up on for school, at the weekends I may decide to branch out a bit but I mostly just stick with this look.

I apply the Rimmel wake me up concealer under my eyes in a triangle shape to cover my under eye circles, this is blended in with the real technique buffing brush. I then use the collection lasting perfection concealer to cover any blemishes or redness.

 I use the Rimmel stay matte powder on the real techniques multi task brush to set my concealer and get rid of any shine.

I then apply some of the MUA bronzer into the hollows of my cheeks to give my face some dimension and add some colour.

I don't always do this but I will usually blend a bit if the Maybelline 24hr colour tattoo onto my eyelid , then my favourite step which I believe completes the whole look is to apply a few coats of the Maybelline Lash sensational mascara. 

Last but not least I then apply my Baby lips dr rescue to moisturise and add some shine to my lips.

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and I also hope you are having a great December so far, I am!

3 Mug cake recipes!

Today I have 3 different mug cake recipes for you to try. Recently I've become obsessed with making mug cakes as they taste amazing and they are so easy! 

I have a chocolate melt in the middle cake, a cookie in a mug( which is my favourite!) and a rainbow sprinkle cake.

Melt in the middle chocolate mug cake

Ingredients-

 

 4 tbsp self raising flour

 4 tbsp caster sugar

 3 tbsp cocoa powder

 2 tbsp beaten egg

 3tbsp milk 

 2 tbsp cooking oil

 1 tbsp Nutella

 

Mix all the dry ingredients together in the mug  before adding the wet ingredients- not the Nutella. Then place the Nutella in the middle of the mixture. Place in microwave on high for 1 min then for 10-20 second intervals until you feel it is cooked all the way through .

( I added some white chocolate buttons on the top- not that it doesn't have enough chocolate already!)

Cookie in a mug

Ingredients-

1 tbsp melted butter-melt in microwave for 20 seconds

1 tbsp caster sugar

1tbsp brown sugar- I used Demerara 

1 egg yolk

3-4 tbsp all purpose flour- depends if you want it gooey or a bit drier

2 tablespoons of chocolate chips/chunks

Optional -

I also chose to put a spoon full of Nutella in the middle of my mixture- which I highly  recommend , it tastes amazing!

Mix the melted butter with the two sugars before adding the egg yolk and the flour. Once stirred until all smooth add chocolate chips( and place some Nutella in middle if you want).

Rainbow sprinkle cake

2tbsp all purpose flour 

2tbsp caster sugar 

1/4 tsp baking powder

2tbsp milk

Capfull of vanilla essence 

2tbsp melted butter 

2tbsp rainbow sprinkles

 A small pinch of salt 

( I forgot to show the sprinkles in the picture- yes, I know they were the most important part!)

Mix all dry ingredients together before adding the wet ingredients. Make sure everything is mixed well before mixing in the sprinkles. Cook in microwave for 1 1/2 -2  minutes
