Hiya! Sorry for posting so constantly but I wanted to share with you this delicious recipe. I love making homemade versions of things and I hope you try them out and love them too.

• 140g of caster sugar plus extra for decoration
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 egg white

• 280g of plain flour
• a pinch of salt

• 5 tbsp strawberry jam
• 55g butter
• 100g icing sugar

• mix together the butter and sugar well
• beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract
• sift the flour and salt into the mixture and stir in thoroughly until well combined into a dough
• halve the dough and wrap in clingfilm. Let it chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes

• preheat the oven at 190°C/375°F/gas's mark 5
• line two baking sheets with parchment
• unwrap the dough and roll it out so its not too thin but not too thick
• cut out shapes using a plain circle or a fluted circle cutter and do this until all the dough is used
• place half of the circles on the baking trays and with the other half cut out a heart or whatever shape you like using a smaller cutter in the middle of the cookie
• place the rest if the cookies on the baking trays and bake for 7 minuits
• take the cookies out and brush the cookies with the hole in them with the egg white and extra caster sugar
• bake for a further 5-8 minutes until golden brown

• take the cookies out to cool for 5-10 minutes
• if you just want jam then spread it on the whole cookies and put the cookie with a hole on top but if you want to add buttercream then mix the butter and icing sugar and spread it on the whole cookie before adding the jam and sandwiching the cookies in one big hug of yummy love!

♡my go-to makeup♡

Sup people! Okay, so everyone has those makeup products that they swear by to do their job perfectly. So I decided I would share with you mine. Oh and before anyone says anything yes...I own a lot of Rimmel.

Face products
• Rimmel Match Perfection, I hardly ever wear foundation but when I do, this is such a perfect match to my natural skin tone and works perfectly.
• Collection Lasting Perfection concealer, it may be cheap but as most people will say, it covers up some of the worst spots and discoloration.
• Rimmel Stay Matte powder, with the right brush this can keep your makeup looking fresh for ages.
• Benefit Hoola Bronzer, people can't get enough of this, its so well pigmented with such a beautiful sun kissed colour.
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Mono Blush, I have hit pan on this and am in desperate need of a new one, it has the most natural colour and I love it.

Eye products
• Urban Decay Naked 3, not to be really classic but it is honestly so good with great pigmentation and gorgeous colour that create so many looks.
• NYC Kohl Jet Black Eyeliner Pencil, I never really think you need to pay too much money on a pencil liner as most do the jobs well like this one does.
• BarryM Liquid Liner, I used this to learn how to do eyeliner properly and its so easy to use and for such a small amount lasts ages.
• Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner, I though I would mention one of each type of eyeliner. My mum actually got a mini one of this in a magazine and gave it to me and I have loved it ever since because its so easy to control and looks beautiful.
•Rimmel Wonder'full Mascara, okay I can't have enough of this, it has everything I want in a mascara, builds, lengthens, separates, I could go on!

Lip products
• M.A.C Myth, this is my one M.A.C lipstick and I love it because it's one I can wear everyday.
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush Make Me Blush, I love lipstains and it reminds me of a crayon and its such a pretty pinky colour.
• Tanya Burr Chic Lip gloss, I know most people who watch YouTube's like Tanya love these and I adore this colour and its not too sticky, plus it also smells to me like strawberry laces.
• Maybelline Baby Lips Peach Kiss, so Baby Lips in general are really great and moisturizing and this colour is one I can wear like at school and stuff and not being too obvious.

Well I hope this gave you a good idea of some products I like and are worth buying especially if you are new to makeup and a bit clueless about what to get.

♡entering the world of blogging♡

hello world!

Wow, I fell like I've just done something really exciting and impressive even though I haven't, really, I've just typed a few words on to a screen. But, it is exciting for me because this is my first post on this blog, (que dramatic horn noises and party poppers) so my name is Juliette. Well, its not really but that's what I'm going to go with because, a) it's a gorgeous name and b) I would like to stay anonymous.

 Please don't get freaked out and think that because I'm anonymous I'm creepy and weird like Gossip Girl, no, don't worry I'm really not! I just would like to talk about life and whatever without any strings attached, to feel free to express myself and for you guys to in the comments. I will just feel more comfortable this way. So even though I have a different name, its not because I'm hiding behind it, I'm still myself with the same thoughts, opinions and experiences. So I hope you continue to read my posts and feel free to comment, follow and share.

Thank you for reading, love, Juliette x
