Hello, I'm Kaitlin from Kaitlin's beauty blog and I'm doing a guest post on Emily's blog. This is my second guest post and I love doing them. Today's is on my most worn products recently. I was going to do fashion but I decided to keep it beauty related.

Victoria beckham - Intimately perfume
I'm a big fan of Victoria Beckham I love her style and the spice girls are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. This perfume smells amazing. Its not a new one of hers so its not to expensive but it is still available to buy. I'm rubbish at describing scents but what I can say is that it is incredibly feminine and I love it. I wear it most days and it just smells amazing.

Mac tinted lip conditioner - Petting pink
I love this to apply in the morning as part of my routine as I'm a huge lip balm freak this product is perfect. It doesn't take any work what so ever and its so quick and easy to apply. Its quite sheer but I love the colour of it, its a subtle pink once applied, it smells absolutely amazing like those rhubarb and custard sweets to me and I think its defiantly worth the price as I've used mine loads and its hardly even gone down.

Photobucket Sephora blush - 09 healthy rose
This has been my favourite blush for ages, its really subtle but still giving your cheeks a healthy glow and its great for if you just want a natural look. The colour is buildable but obviously if you apply to much is can go terribly wrong. I like to wear this on the apples of my cheeks blended out and its looks great in my opinion.

Photobucket Essie nail polish - Bangle Jangle
This is my first essie polish and believe me it won't be my last. I love the formula, the brush, just everything about it. Its amazing quality and the packaging is beautiful. You can sort of see the colour on my nail in the photo, its just a nice light purple, lilac colour and it goes with almost everything. 

So that is it for my guest post, I hope you enjoyed reading it and it would be amazing if you could take a look at my blog here

Love kaitlin xx

Ingredients:



225g/8 oz. flour
40g/ 1½ oz. icing sugar (I used caster sugar and it worked fine)
175g/6 oz. butter (it is best if is softened)


First, sift the flour and caster sugar in a bowl.
Next, rub in the butter until it is well blended.
After that, roll out the dough to about 1cm thick. 
Get your man cutter and cut as many men as you can and place them on a baking sheet covered in baking parchment. Put into the oven preheated to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
Bake for around 15-20 minutes or until lightly brown in colour and firm to the touch. Leave to cool on a wire rack. 


For the decorating, melt about 50g of chocolate (which ever milk,dark or even white) in either a pan or the microwave. Get the man's leg and dip it into the chocolate, do that with the other leg and also with the two arms. Next sprinkle on some hundred and thousands (or anything you want to decorate him with). Then get a small spoon and dip that in the chocolate and dot on some eyes. If you want your man to have buttons. I got my spoon dipped into to chocolate and made two dots in the centre and then stuck on two smarties. 

Leave the chocolate to set, then the best part you can now eat him! Yum, yum :D


Please tweet me a picture (@EmilysBlog) if you try these out, I would love to see them ;)
