Fun Liner - Hot Pink

Products Used:

• Benefit Boi-ing Concealer
• Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Woodstock
• Angled Eye liner brush
• Loreal Lineur Intense Eyeliner
• Buxom Mascara in Blackest Black
• Loreal Voluminous in Carbon Black
• Loreal Million Lashes

How To:

1. Mask any discoloration on your lids with your favorite concealer.
2. Take Woodstock on a dense angled liner brush and line your eyes. You can make this thick, super thin, or wing it out!
3. Make a thin line with a liquid eyeliner to define your eyes. I suggest staying as close as possible to your upper lash line. 
4. Apply a few coats of your favorite mascara, and your good to go!

I must say, I never really thought I'd be into pink eyeliner, but... I kind of am! It's actually really pretty! Bright colors totally used to scare me, but now it seems like any color, in moderation can be wearable. I hope you guys enjoyed this look! Have you tried pink liner? If you have, whats your favorite brand?

Have a beautiful day!<3

Cookie Therapy - Oatmeal

Hi guys!

Om nom nom!

I made these oatmeal cookies last night, and oh.my.gosh. These are basically my new favorite cookies! They are insanely good!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of butter, softened
• 1 cup of white sugar
• 1 cup of packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
• 3 cups of quick cooking oats
• Powdered Sugar
• Milk

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets (this is... suggested, but I didn't and mine didn't stick). Roll the dough into walnut sized balls (or use a cookie scoop) and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. 
3. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. For the frosting just place some powdered sugar in a bowl and add a small, I mean small amount of milk. Whisk it together until you get the consistency that you want, and once you do then just add some vanilla extract and drizzle it on your cookies!

Sarah's Tips:

• The original recipe that I used said to bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, but mine really took about 6. You know how your oven works, so just keep an eye on them!

Let me know if you guys try these out! I hope you love them just as much as I do :).

Have a beautiful day!<3

P.S. The original recipe is from allrecipes.com but I altered it a bit!

Cookie Therapy - Chocolate Chip

Hello, hello lovelies! :)
So, this is the first post in another new series! I'm just full of surprises this week ;). As you can tell, it's baking themed. This, is another one of my many obsessions. I tend to focus on cookies because, who doesn't like cookies? All the recipes I will be showing you guys are ones that I have made and certified them as delicious!
Today's  cookie is a total classic. But I think that there's a reason that this one has stuck around for so long.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of butter, softened
• 1 cup of white sugar
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
• 3 cups of flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 2 cups of semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cups of walnuts (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Cream together the butter, white and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Add the baking soda and salt to the batter. Stir in the flour, chocolate chips and nuts (if you use them). Drop by large spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. (I use a cookie scoop, it is so much easier!)
3. Bake for about 10 minutes in the oven, or until the edges are nicely browned. ( If you are using a timer, set it for 8 minutes and just keep checking them).

Sarahs Tips:

• Use a cookie scoop, it makes uniform cookies and it's less messy!
• Start checking your cookies around 7-8 minutes, everyone's oven works differently so yours might take less time than mine!
• Don't wait until the cookies look completely done, by that I mean like really golden brown. I've found that they keep cooking even when you take them out so if you want perfect chewy, amazing cookies take them out when they are lightly golden brown. Obviously don't take them out if they are still uncooked. The good thing about that is, if you miss judge, you can just put them back in the oven!
• If you're a fan of milk chocolate, try using Giradelli Milk Chocolate Chips! They are so  good!

I hope you guys liked this new type of post! :) Let me know if you try out this recipe, and do you want to see more Cookie Therapy posts?

Have a beautiful day! :)

Fun Liner- Bright Blue

Products Used:

• Benefit Boi-ing Concealer in 01
• Double Date pencil in "Blue Jeans" with an angled eyeliner brush
• Buxom mascara in Blackest Black
• Loreal Voluminous in Carbon Black

How To:

1. Cancel out any discoloration on your lids with your favorite concealer
2. Take the blue liner (mines super creamy) on an angled liner brush
3. Apply as much (or as little) of your favorite mascara 

All done! Guys, I LOVE this eyeliner! Well, maybe not specifically the product, but this color! Oh. my. gosh. I got so many compliments on this! I typically don't go for blue liner, or eye products in general, but this look may have converted me... Seriously. I love in the last picture how you can see my lashes, and then just sort of peeking out from behind is a really super bright blue! I'm sure you could use any bright blue color for this look, this was just the one I had on hand. It's from the brand "Townley Cosmetics". I'm pretty sure they make cosmetics for kids, so basically play cosmetics. But hey, whatever! I love this color!

I hope you enjoyed this post! Are you guys obsessed with blue liner, or are you going to pass this color up?

Have a beautiful day! :)

Fun Liner - Purple

Products Used:

• Benefit Boi-ing Concealer in 01
• Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Ransom
• Buxom mascara in Blackest Black
• Loreal Voluminous in Carbon Black

How To:

1. Cancel out any color on your lids with your favorite concealer. (No eye primer needed!)
2. Line your eyes with Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencil in Ransom. Wing it out, make it thick, just line it up!

So I know that was kind of... stupidly simple, but I really love this eye liner! Its such a pretty purpley-blue.

If you do, are you obsessed?!

Talk to you guys soon! 

Have a beautiful day!<3
