2 NEW MAC EYESHADOWS

Eyeshadows are my weakness and when it comes to my makeup collection I own quite a few. Although, that didn't stop me ordering two new eyeshadows a couple of weeks ago when MAC were having 20% off online. I have been collecting eyeshadows for my 15 pan palette for what seems like forever and I was down to my last four spaces to fill. I decided to buy two eyeshadows online with the discount and then treat myself to the final two when I'm in store and have all of the gorgeous shades in front of me.  

3 BRANDS I WANT TO TRY MORE FROM

Whilst having a little sort out of my makeup collection, I realised that there are a lot of brands that I still haven't tried any products from. I read reviews on a daily basis of amazing products that I would like to try but I never seem to get round to purchasing them. Here are a few products from 3 brands that I would like to try more from. 

5 TOP TIPS FOR THE BEST AT HOME MANICURE

I love doing my nails and always have. There was once a time when I used to own a huge box of inexpensive nail polishes and would carry them round to my friends houses and give them mani's and pedi's.  

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE PRODUCTS

Seeing as I've been absent recently, I thought I'd kick off regularly posting again by writing about three of my current favourite products. 

LIFE UPDATE

I haven't sat at my laptop and written a post for ages. When I relaunched my blog a couple of months ago, I sat for days typing away and built up loads of posts ready to go in my drafts. For me, my blog motivation is either 0 or 100. When my motivation is there, like today, I can sit and write posts for hours, but when I have no motivation there is no point trying.

LEMON AND RASPBERRY CAKE | GLUTEN AND DAIRY FREE

Lemon cake is a family favourite and whenever I make it, it usually disappears within seconds. I thought raspberries would make a tasty addition as they are in season and compliment the bitter lemon taste. This cake is perfect for Summer, as it is light and fluffy with a refreshing taste. 

BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX FOUNDATION, CONCEALER AND POWDER

I have wanted to try the Bourjois Healthy Mix range for years and after reading and watching countless reviews I have finally bought the foundation, concealer and also the Healthy Balance powder to try too. It was about time I tried something new. 

SIMPLE VANILLA CUPCAKE RECIPE | GLUTEN FREE

Cupcakes are really easy yet so fun to make. What starts off as a simple recipe can be decorated beautifully with fresh fruit, sprinkles and lots of buttercream. 

TOO FACED NATURAL LOVE PALETTE REVIEW

Too Faced Natural Love Palette-£52

Too Faced are known for their amazing products with cute packaging and this palette is no exception. Firstly, it screams Spring as it is covered in little rabbits, butterflies and flowers, some of which are embossed in velvet. I love it, it's pretty, girly and appeals to anyone.

I'M BACK!

I'm back with and it feels good! After a rough start to 2017 things are starting to look up.

LET'S TALK ABOUT... CONCEALER

Today we are talking concealer and I have not one, not two but three favourites to share. They're all available at Boots or Superdrug which makes them affordable and easy to get hold of if you live in the UK.

NEW BEAUTY BUYS

Who doesn't love shopping? I certainly adore shopping and can happily spend hours swatching and looking at new products and clothes. I've been pretty good until recently and haven't spent my pennies but a trip to London caused a blow out and that calls for a haul post right? 

A FEW FAVOURITES FROM MAC COSMETICS

MAC has to be one of my all time favourite makeup brands. Although it's slightly on the pricier side, the quality is great and many of their products are a firm favourite in my daily makeup routine and makeup collection. 

TALKING ABOUT BODY CONFIDENCE

This is a slightly different style of post for Cupcakes and Candyfloss, it's had my finger on both the publish and delete button as it touches on some things that are quite personal. However, I have decided to click publish as talking about body confidence seems to be very popular at the moment, so here's my take on it. 

SUMMER BEAUTY EDIT

Although it has been Summer for a while, I have only just got round to writing this Summer's Beauty Edit. 

9 TIPS FOR PRODUCTIVITY

I have been struggling with motivation this year. I'm not sure what it is, but I'd much rather stay in bed and watch Netflix on my laptop. Although that sounds like a fantastic idea, let's face it, if I did that everyday then nothing would get accomplished would it? I can still allow myself to have occasional Netflix days though right? 
If you've been feeling like me, then here are some tips that I have found useful to help me be more productive. 

ROSE GOLD EDIT

I'm not sure about you, but I love rose gold and copper. I have filled my room with rose gold fairy lights, jewellery and spray painted some old pencil pots rose gold last summer. I even bought a copper lamp last weekend, can you tell I'm slightly obsessed? 

BEAUTY LOVES: MAY

May. You haven't been my favourite month of the year so far due to exams, but you were okay. Surprise, surprise, I haven't written a monthly favourites post in a while and it's because I am a creature of habit and only usually stick with the same products in my routine. However, there are a few notable mentions...

CONTOURING EDIT

Contouring may not be the newest trend on the block, but it is still as big as ever in the beauty community. Although I was scared to contour at first, I am finally getting to grips with it. I have found a technique that works for me and doesn't give me the dreaded 'muddy line' (I don't think so anyway...). Recently I have been trying a few products that can be used for contouring which called for a contouring edit. 

LATELY

I think it's time we had a little catch up. Having been absent from my blog for around 6 weeks, I thought this called for a post detailing what I've been up to and why things are looking slightly different around these parts.
