Hello loves,
Long time no see - and believe me, I know.
If you are a frequent reader than you probably would have already acknowledged the lack of content on my blog, and I'm very sorry to any of you who were wishing for posts. I have not been hibernating nor sleeping for months on end, I have just been working on a (big!) project that has consumed most of my spare time, in which I would usually spend on this blog. Things are underway but due to the enormous size of this secret project, I have had to put my blog on pause for the meanwhile. I will return however, so do please stay tuned! Exciting things await, and I look forward to telling you all about it in the near future. If you have any questions or queries please do leave them in the comments, and also drop your blog dress down there as I am desperate for some new reading material.
Love you all
xxx

Baked Cheesecake Recipe // AliceOlivia
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. |
 |
 Then enjoy! Alice xxx |

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. Alice xxx |

The 2 Step Brow Routine // AliceOlivia
The 2 Step Brow Routine // AliceOlivia
 |
Before 2012-ish, brows were pushed aside and not really thought about by those who weren't makeup artists (it seemed they were the only ones who really understood the importance of them). In the past few years however, brows have been brought into the limelight, and now people are plucking them less (thank you Cara), and giving them the attention they deserve. While some girls love the very drawn on look, I like the more natural approach & just fill them in to enhance my natural shape and make them appear fuller.
I used to swear by my Elf Brow Kit, which I still totally love, however I now have a new obsession. I've been using the Anastasia Dip Brown Pomade in Chocolate instead, and have been loving it. I use very little on the Eco Tools Angled Brush, and fill them in lightly, starting where my arch is and working towards the end of the brow, then using the remaining product to lightly fill in the front. I then use my trusty Elf Brow Gel to set them in place. For those wondering how I maintain my brows; not once have I had my brows professionally plucked - I've always done them myself as I'm anxious that they would pluck too much or alter their shape, plus its bloody expensive! I just tidy up any stray hairs (around once every 1-2 weeks), and keep my natural shape, and then I wax the mono cos that's never cute. I really recommend giving your brows a little more attention, they absolutely frame the face and can make an enormous difference. Alice xx |
