Halloween!!!!!

Monday, 4 November 2013

Hey Guys!!

I want to apologise that I haven't done a post in a while, I've been so busy with days out and work, I haven't really done anything worth interesting for you haha

But as you can see from the title I did do something for Halloween :D My friends sister had a house party for Halloween and naturally we dressed up in some scary costumes, well I would like to think it was scary haha

My costume I managed to find on ebay after hours of looking through costume sites, amazon and ebay, I came across a Zombie Sailor costume. Been as though me and my 2 friends discuss everything when it comes to going out I showed them first and they loved it so that is what I got :)

Excuse the face haha
 So as you can see in the picture it was just a normal, thin nylon blue dress with silk for the collar and tie section and then a little nylon hat. Also as you can see it has 'blood' spatters all over it :) I do have white stockings on that has 'blood' spatters on as well and then I just wore my canvas shoes :) I can tell you that as comfortable and as light to wear as it is I was absolutely freezing so did have a thick jacket with me to put on as well :)

I didn't take a close up picture of my hair and make up, very silly of me :(, but I just used a black metallic eye shadow, black eyeliner & mascara and a black liquid liner to darken it a bit more. Also I used the same black eye shadow as out of all the make up I have I had no dark blusher :( so used that to contour my face to make it look drawn in :)

For my hair I just washed & dried it, then sectioned it and with each section back combed it to give it a bit of a messy look and a bit of volume, then sprayed hair spray on it to keep it in place-ish.

I know its only a quick post but I will take a picture of the products I used for my make up and will update you with that :)

Did any of you dress up for Halloween? or Did any of you go to some really cool party?

Hope You Are All Having A Good Week!! See You Soon xxx

Halloween Cupcakes :)

Sunday, 6 October 2013

Hey Guys!!!

So for one of my weekly videos I do on YouTube, we decided to do Halloween Cupcakes & Halloween Cookies (The cookies are on my sisters blog) so I thought I would do a blog entry on it, to show you step by step how we done it. You can also check out the video HERE :) I do apologise that it is a long video but I hope you enjoy it :) Also check out the recipe that I used HERE :)
All Ingredients Were Purchased From Tesco

These Were The Decorations I Used
So I had gone shopping to Tesco in the week to get all the ingredients, what is not pictured is the milk as it is in the fridge, which we used semi-skimmed milk, as it doesn't specify which milk to use in the recipe.




So also I got these sweets to use to decorate them with and also got little rice paper decorations to put on them :)




So the first thing I did was put the Caster Sugar, Self-Raising Flour and Milk in the bowl and mixed it together and then measured out the butter added it to the mix and mixed that all together :)


Milk, Self-Raising Flour & Caster Sugar
Butter

So then I added 2 Free Range Eggs and mixed all that together to make the cake mix and then added Vanilla Extract :)
 
 

We then spooned the mix into the cupcake cases, we put to spoons into each and with the mix we managed to make 15 cupcakes :)


 So we baked the cupcakes in a Halogen Oven and they only took about 15 minutes maybe a little longer :)
 
 

So then while the cupcakes were cooling we made the buttercream icing, which the ingredients were Icing Sugar, Butter & Milk, then of course you put whatever colour food colouring in you want :)



 
So then once we'd made the icing we proceeded to decorate them with the sweets and rice paper :) We done 6 cupcakes with the rice paper, then done 3 each of a cat, spider and monster :)
 
 
I hope you have enjoyed this blog post as its a bit different from what I have previously posted and also if you have made any or are going to make any Halloween cupcakes show me your pictures :)
 
Hope You're All Having A Good Weekend!!! See You Soon xx
