FOTDs Revisited...

So, I can't believe it's been a nearly a year since Beauty Blogging Blonde was born!

2010 has been a roller coaster year for me and I would count down the last few days of the year with a 'revisited' series. I will be going back over some of my favourite products & posts and thought I'd start with a post on some of my favourite Face of the Day pics.

When I started BBB, I was looking for a place literally to record looks I'd done and without even knowing it, I needed somewhere to record 'FOTDs'!! My little blog has evolved into so so much more than that and I have had some brilliant opportunities from writing it. Anyway, before I start getting too sentimental - lets get onto the pics! Some of these are very recent and some are very early - the very first pic is of the Dita Von Teese look and it is the first one I ever did.

I hope you enjoy!

Christmas Party Makeup

Got a christmas party coming up? Need some makeup ideas?...

Don't want to wear too much, but you want to look polished & glamourous? Watch this video, showing you how to do a very simple, quick smokey eye

Want something a bit more adventurous? How about a yellow glitter eye, with a black lip? Check out that video here

If anyone has any specific party looks they would like done in a video, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do!

Not so much about the makeup...

The snow has meant I haven't left the house since Friday afternoon. When life gives you snow, make cupcakes!

These are Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcakes...

Sponge is made with muscovado sugar, butter and crushed toasted cashews.

Bake for 10 mins and cool

Mix Cocoa Powder, Icing Sugar and Milk to form the icing.

Smooth some Peanut Butter over the cupcake and top with Chocolate Sauce.

Dust with Icing Sugar for a snowy effect.

then do the washing up...

Clinique '3 Things' App

I got an email yesterday from Clinique, bringing my attention to their new iPhone app. I'm not a big app fan and didn't really pay any attention, until I saw Lipglossiping's post on it this morning and thought it looked quite fun.

It's called '3 Things to do before you're 30' . I turn 29 in a few weeks, so this app might give me a good place to make my last year as a 20's something a winner! Once downloaded, you give it a shake and it gives you 3 random suggestions of things you could do that day. Here are mine!

Invent My Own Cocktail

Done. Tonight I am having a 'Hot Baileys'. It will be Hot Choc & Baileys. Ahh simplicity...

Buy Something for Someone Else
