Intro to Cupcakes

Cupcakes!

I do a lot of baking and cupcakes are one of my favorite things to make!

I thought I'd share some (photos of) cupcakes that I've made...

Apple Cupcakes~
I got the idea for these from one of the "Hello, Cupcake" books. They were so cute! Also very fun to make :)





Its a Koi Fish Pond! Another creation inspired by "Hello, Cupcake!"


Some simple flowers...


Just for fun!!!!!!



Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with fresh Chocolate Whipped Cream. DELICIOUS.



Valentines Day! Homemade Vegan Red Velvet Cupcakes~




A few weeks ago, for Easter. Little Cadbury Eggs in the grass on chocolate vegan cupcakes and some mini vanilla cupcakes, and in little nests on mini vanilla cupcakes.

Many more cupcakes to come....

Smokey Blue Prom Look

         Prom has come around once more, and many of you are going to go to one. This look can be customized with any colour to match your outfit.


Let's get started!

Gear for today!

-Coastal Scents 88 Palette
-NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk
-E.L.F. Primer
-Perfect Ten Color Palette
-Clinique High Impact Mascara




Start with a white base so that your eyeshadow will stay on all night, and so that you don't look like a zombie after prom when you go "after-partying" with your date or friends if you are forever alone.


                                                               Add a light wash of blue.


Using a slightly darker shade, apply it to the outer third of your eye.


With a deep purple, create or intensify your crease for a more cut-crease look.


Next, with black eyeshadow, layer it over the deep purple to darken the eye. Applying the dark purple first ensures that the black will not look as flat.


To add more shimmer, apply a glittery blue over the inner third of your eye to make them pop.
Balance out your eyes by lining your waterline and lower lashline with black and violet.


Lightly line your lashline. I say lightly because the eyeshadow makes your eyes look dramatic already, don't overpower your look with dramatic eyeliner.


Pop on some mascara, touch up your eyebrows, and you're done!

After I had applied my makeup, Esa curled my hair with an InStyler Rotating Iron. Unfortunately, I only got waves, but they looked amazing! Props to you Esa.
Even though I wasn't going to prom, I wanted to get into the prom feel, so I had Esa help style me haha.

Favourites This Week


This week I was going to upload a DIY tutorial for lace shorts, but I was busy, so this post will have to compensate.

1.) Supernatural


What can I say? I've been watching this show all week in a trance to the point where I can't look out dark windows, or even go upstairs alone without peeing myself in fear. I learned how to say Sam's name with Dean's voice...SAYUMMIE!

2.) Macarons



THEY HAD FEET OMG--the sign of a well made macaron O>O
I ate waaaaay too many this week..my friend and I made two batches of these and ate like half of it...
*Sigh* Macarons...
Tutorial Credits-EntertainingWithBeth



3.) Canon Cameras

                               


                                     
                                      



My Canon Canon PowerShot SX260 HS 12.1 MP CMOS has such better quality than my old camera and zooms up to 20x...
AND IT HAS 1080p OMG!!


4.) Kpop Dances


Girls' Generation- Gee (Seems easy, then you speed it up...)
Tutorial Credits-LiberaEdge


Hyuna-Bubble Pop (Fricken impossible)
Tutorial Credits-Kp0pDanc3r

These dances were so hard >.< My friend and I tried to dance to these.
I always thought Hyuna was a bad singer live, but now I have so much more respect for her--trying to dance in heels and jump around spontaneously like a crazy lady is really REALLY difficult, not to mention singing at the same time...Kudos to her.
As for Girls' Generation... they're still bad live. But they've gotten better. So don't kill me.

5.)  Lee Hi



This rookie singer from YG Entertainment has a powerhouse vocal that puts other singers to shame.
She's only sixteen years old, but she easily rivals older vocalists. Her newest songs, It's Over and Rose showcase her amazing voice. Check them out below!

                                                                            It's Over

Rose



So that's it for this week, sorry that I didn't post anything more interesting...I'll see you in two weeks!
