Before I start this recipe post and take any credit for it, I am going to say that I stole the recipe from Vivianna Does make up and made a few tweaks! So for my version of this recipe you will need:
200g unsalted butter,
300g caster sugar,
1 large egg,
275g self-raising flour,
75g cocoa powder,
One big bar of milk chocolate (around 100g-150g)
2 tubes of smarties
and some milk.
300g caster sugar,
1 large egg,
275g self-raising flour,
75g cocoa powder,
One big bar of milk chocolate (around 100g-150g)
2 tubes of smarties
and some milk.
Pre-heat your oven to 200°C. Cube your butter and pop into the microwave if it isn't soft already and mix in with your sugar until you have a creamy consistency Once your happy with your mixture, crack the egg and continue mixing. Once you have a smooth pale yellow mixture add in your cocoa powder and your flour. I found that my mixture wasn't mixing too well so I added milk until I had a thick but manageable mixture.
I added my broken up chocolate and smarties to the mixture, and then lined my two trays with grease proof paper or baking paper. This mixture should make around 12-14 cookies, so take a hand full of the mixture roughly make into a ball shape and flatten and place on the baking tray and bake for around 10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they will be slightly runny so be careful! Then for the difficult part, leave to cool for around 20-30 minutes as they will stiffen up and enjoy (they're perfect when they're warm.) My tip is if they've lasted in your house longer than an hour, pop them in a microwave for a few seconds and the cookie will be nice and warm again!

As an avid watcher of beauty bloggers on YouTube I’ve seen
this tag be passed around quite a lot by bloggers such as Vivianna Does Makeup, Zoella and llymlrs, so I thought I’d give it ago myself but this time as a
blog post, as I don't think I’m quite ready for my YouTube debut. These are
products that I’ve either used up completely or very near to finishing.
Bathroom:
- Miracle Moist Aussie Conditioner - I've loved using this conditioner, I took it on holiday to Kavos with me and just fell in love with it, it’s so conditioning and it smells so amazing, I’m completely addicted to this!
- Moringa shower gel from The Body Shop, again a product that I love because it smells so good, I’ve never heard of Moringa so when I got given a set of body shop mini shower gels I was intrigued to try it and ever since then I’ve just been obsessed with it. I'm going to be sad once I’ve finished this so I'm using it sparingly and I may have to buy the full size.
- Pink grapefruit shower gel again from The Body Shop, (there seems to be a theme here with my bathroom empties) I love anything that smells like pink grapefruit although I’m not keen on the fruit itself. This is such a good product as this has lasted me a few months as you don't need too much as it lathers up really well.
Make-up:
- MAC pro longwear concealer - This is something I’ll re-purchase over and over again it's my favourite concealer ever (well, so far!)
- Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation - Again a product that I can't recommend enough, it suits my skin type so well and lasts me all month, although this product doesn't look empty it is, I had a lot of trouble with getting product out of the bottle!
- Benefit mini High Beam - I got this mini sample free with a glamour magazine ages ago and have only just finished it, it’s lasted me a good while! I would get this again but I was recently given Benefit's Sunbeam highlighter for my birthday and so I’m currently using & loving that.
- 17 supreme shine nail varnish – in the shade simply pink, such a good product for such little money! I love this colour, it does need a few coats for the colour to become really opaque but it's such a lovely baby pink shade, definitely in my top 5 nail varnishes.
Perfume:
Daisy & Daisy Garland both by Marc Jacobs: I received
the original daisy perfume for my 16th birthday and Daisy garland for my 18th
birthday, these perfumes have lasted me ages and I’ve only just come to the end
with them, the scent is quite strong and lasts quite a while which is good as
you don't need to top yourself up too often. To be honest I can't tell that
there is much difference between the two scents, or if there was even meant to
be a difference? I do like these perfumes but I’m not sure if I’d buy them for
myself.
