Strawberry Smoothie

I was feeling rather healthy today, so I decided to make myself a strawberry smoothie.

If you are interested and would like to give it a go yourself, here is a list of the ingredients that you will need.

- 8 strawberries

- 3 tablespoons of sugar

- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

- 120ml milk

- 120ml ice cream/yoghurt

- 6 ice cubes

So, first of all I collected all of my ingredients together and measured them to the correct amounts...

Then, I washed my strawberries and began to chop them into quarters. 

Once I had chopped the strawberries, I poured the milk into a glass ready to pour into the blender.

I then added the strawberries, sugar, vanilla and ice cream to the blender...

 I then blended all of the ingredients together until I was left with a smooth, thick liquid.

I then added some ice cubes and gave it one last mix, and then poured it into glasses to serve.

Simple!

Depth

Usually, I like to keep my lipstick and makeup in general quite subtle. If anything I usually make my eyeliner/eyeshadow the boldest out of all, but I decided to go ahead and buy the topshop lipstick in the shade "depth". This is the dupe of Mac's lipstick "media". It's such an amazing bold colour and the packaging of topshops lipsticks are so cute. 

The lipstick is a deep purple colour that is extremely pigmented when it's first applied however it doesn't last very long throughout the day and I had to re do it a few times.

What I love about this lipstick is you can apply it very light and dab it in to make it a light purple/pink shade, but you can also build up the application to make it as dark as it can be. 

The lipstick looks black in it's case and is rather scary at a first glance, but on the lips it is more of a deep purple colour.  

I love this lipstick and I think it's perfect for nights out and special occasions like Christmas or birthdays. It's not the type of lipstick that I would wear out on a daily basis, but for evenings out I think this lipstick is perfect. It makes you look asif you made some effort with your makeup which is always a winner.

It's very moisturising and glides straight onto the lips. It doesn't really smell of anything which I do like in a lipstick. If a lipstick smells nice then obviously that's a bonus but for me I have always managed to pick lipsticks that smell awful, so I would rather no scent!

It is such a unique colour with a rich glossy finish and I can't wait to find an excuse to wear it again!
