Baked Cheesecake Recipe // AliceOlivia

Ingredients: 

500 grams cream cheese
2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
250 grams (one packet) digestive biscuits
100 grams butter - this needs to be melted completly

Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius. In a food processor, blitz biscuits until they are a crumb. Then stir in melted butter, and pour into your cake tin - it's best if it is a springform tin. Press the biscuits firmly to the sides and bottom of the tin, with a spoon and then a glass. 

Once you have pushed the crumb onto the sides and bottom, put in the fridge whilst you are making the filling. 

Beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy - the longer you beat this for, the better. 

Add vanilla and eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. 

Pour mixture into the biscuit-lined pan and bake for 40-50 minutes. Leave to cool before putting in the refrigerator. It needs to chill for at least 5 hours, so it's best to make it either in the morning, or the night before.



Then enjoy!

Four Favourites For April // AliceOlivia

Four Favourites For April // AliceOlivia

Hi lovelies, I hope you all had a fabulous April. Whilst I do not have many favourites this month (no new skin or hair care products at all, in fact), I have discovered these four makeup products and fallen in love. 

I have many - almost all - of the Rimmel foundations, however this is by far my favourite. I have been using the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation almost every day this month, and I love the satin finish it gives (far less glittery than the Wake Me Up, and a little less dewy than the Match Perfection). The shade is also perfect for me; I used a website called Findation, and it most definitely gave me the correct shade. I have also been loving my Mac Viva Glam II Lipstick; its a slightly darker nude, and since it's a satin finish, I do find that it lasts longer than creme sheen lipsticks, without being as drying as a matte finish lipstick.

I have discovered how to properly use my Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade (read that blogpost here), and I'm now loving it. I may of applied it at 7 in the morning, and it will still be perfect at 10 at night. Lastly, a new mascara which may compete with my Maybelline Falsies (however - I think I do still like the Falsies more...), The Covergirl Lash Blast Volume gives lots of separation and length more than volume, which is why I don't particularly understand the name. Regardless, it is a fantastic mascara that is not too expensive but still gives you lovely, long lashes.
