Cheap n Sweet Treats

Saturday, June 16, 2012

Hi guys! Hope you’re well x

Since my Back to the Shop post, I have attempted to restrict my spending especially on clothes. I regularly check out the H&M website but have bought only 1 item from the sale. My self-discipline has been in check so far…..I’ve been occupied reading the 50 Shades Trilogy!

I will admit that I have indulged in a few cheap treats:

I always buy Glamour Magazine, but this month's issue
was a treat as it came with a free gift from Benefit.
I chose the Bad Gal Lash Mascara; I've used it before and it superb

NYC - Fashion Ave Fuschia (268)
Barry M - Berry I/C (308)
NYC - Park Ave (246)
Superdrug was doing 3 for 2 on all cosmetics - the deal is now over

I’m currently wearing Barry M on my nails:

I actually think this is my favourite Barry M colour!

And as for sweet treats:

I made some chocolate Oreo cupcakes consisting of a chocolate cupcake with an Oreo in the middle, finished with Oreo buttercream icing and topped with crushed Oreos. And yes……they taste mighty fine!

I was inspired to make the cupcakes after reading Esther’s post O is for Oreos!! Part 2! on her blog, Black. Is. Beauty. She has put up the recipe for the cupcakes which I modified for my own purposes. I seriously encourage you to try baking these cupcakes for yourself!!!
