Christmas look 'n stuff

Hello everybody, so I'm gonna post the first post on this blog. Hmmm..
Anyway I wanted to show you my look for today. I have spent this day with just my bro and mum for as long as I've lived on this Earth, so it doesn't matter what make up I wear or if I have washed my hair. This year I did both and some extra(I also wore nice clothes and did a mani). My brother just put on his good wifebeater for a festive look.
Anyway here's the make up. As you can see, it's unbearably subtle. Just some glittery eyeshadow and liner.













For my face I used Bourjois Fond de teint Princeau brush foundation in Beige clair, Bourjois bronzing powder 76 Soleil Cuivré, Artdeco Camouflage Stick in 7.
For the eyes, I applied L'oreal Paris Quad Pro Doutzen Kroes shade nr 2 all over the lid, then covered it with the glittery shade in the quad. Then I rimmed my eyes with MaxFactor Kohl pencil in Black, smudged it a bit and for a little more dramatic effect, added a thin line of Bourjois Volume Clubbing liner in ultra Black near my eyelashes. I used Bourjois Liner Effect mascara for my lashes and that was it.

And now for the manicure.


The stickers didn't stay very well, so I had to take them off, as the ends started to get stuck in clothes and hair. So the mani was kind of a fail.






And a little extra for people who enjoy cooking. I made a Banoffee Pie, at first I wasn't really sure about the idea, but oh my god was it good. The pie just disappeared, brother ate 3 slices in the first 5 minutes and now, 3 hours later, it has been eaten completely.


For the dough:
4 dl plain flour
250g margarine
4 tbs cold water
2 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla sugar

For the filling:
1 can (nearly 400g) condensed milk, or Dulce de Leche
3 small ripe bananas

To make the dough, cut the margarine into small cubes, add flour and sugars, knead it until the mixture resembles bread crumbs, then add the water, one tbs at a time, until the mixture forms a nice solid dough ball. Cover with cling film and place in freezer for 30 mins.

It would be so much easier to make the filling with Dulce the Leche, but since there was none in the supermarket, I had to make it myself. You just have to put the tin can (tags removed) into a pot with enough water in it to cover the can and boil it for 2 hours. Allow it to cool, then mix with chopped bananas.

Place the dough into a cake mould, cover with the filling and it takes about 15-20 mins in 200 degrees Celsius.
Some recipes recommend topping it with whipped cream when done.

So that's it for today folks, hope ye enjoyed the first post.
