cupcakes!!

Oh god, I'm such a horrible blogger lmao. I've been planning to blog about mothers day...but I never got the time, so I'm just gonna upload some photos of the awesome cupcakes I made for the best mum in the entire world; my mum.

This was the first time ever I've tried making anything with buttercream, but I'm pleased about the outcome. I wasn't so fond of the cream myself, but everyone else seemed to love it though. Next time however, I'm not using food coloring, since it seemed like it left bit of a aftertaste.

For the cream, I used a recipe that my mum uses for her (amazing!) carrotcake. It's simply just on part cream cheese, one part butter and then powdered sugar until you get the sweetness you want. Since I learned my lesson on food coloring, I'm gonna hunt down some powder color for later.

I cheated with the actual cupcakes, and got one of these 'only add water' packs since I had no time making them from scratch. Added some chopped chocolate and some spoonfulls of coffee for extra taste. Yummeh yummeh in my tummeh~

Makeup in my heart

Last week I got some new makeup from MAC. Any pictures I've tried to take just come out like crap, but these I got from http://www.maccosmetics.com/ isn't much better I admit.

The two I bought are called 'Amber Lights' and 'Goldrush.' I haven't had the opportunity to really try them out properly, but the 'Amber Lights' one is brighter, and reminds me a more of a copper color.

Also, I really thought I was lucky to get the last 15-slot color palette they had, until I got home and saw that I had been given a blush palette instead. I guess the sizes are pretty similar. So now I have to wait at least 2 more weeks for the new ones to arrive.

I also got this awesome fake leather jacket for like...$26!!! gonna try get a picture later, I haven't had the chance to wear it yet since the weather has been crappy for nearly a month >.>
