Nude Glam: BCD Nail Art Challenge (Day 9)

I'm a person who loves colour but sometimes we just need to be a bit plain and go for nudes but that doesn't mean it should be boring. Today's design is glamming up the nudes for that elegant touch yet a nail art design that can be worn everyday.

For the nude base I'm using CND Vinylux in Impossibly Plush and did a glitter gradient using large sparkle/ glitter from L.A Colours called Glitter Bomb and softer sparkle form Loreal Paris called The True Diamond; all sealed in with a top coat.

Join Cosmetic Proof and DrinkCitra as we complete the BCDnails challenge :)

Let’s Go to Work with MAC Melba Blush

What I realized when scanning though my makeup stash was that most of my blushes were way too loud for the office so what better excuse to use to hop down to my favourite MAC store. :)
Now just to mention it, don’t try attempting to get quick service on a Friday or Saturday at the MAC store. It’s usually super busy. The MAC makeup artists are always so helpful though but you may require a bit of patience. But patience I had that day which led me to my beloved Melba blush. I just needed the colour to suit my NC 45 skintone, be a powder blush for simple application and be matte, not shimmery. We did try out Fleur Power first, which is a soft pinky coral colour but I still felt it was a tad too bright. Melba however was a soft, coral peach colour and look really great on me when she applied with h…

Hot Milk Sponge Cake with Fresh Fruit & Coconut

In today's yummy post we are doing an easy sponge cake (no creaming of butter and sugar involved). Instead of torting this cake we are using two loaf pans to give us our two layers, which we will pull together with vanilla buttercream. I love the rectangular look of this cake rather than the traditional round or square but more importantly the flavors of the toasted coconut on the sides and fresh fruit on top makes for a mouth watering dessert.
