How To Fuck Up Cake Pops

(You all can thank Vicky for the wonderful blog post title)

Hello my dears! Who else has a case of the Mondays? I sure do, I'm tired as hell!! I feel like my eyes look likes Levi's from Attack on Titan :P. It isn't easy to write something when you're yawning every 10 minutes, that's for sure! I totally need a good, strong cup of tea. I've been doing SO much writing lately between this blog, the book I've been working so hard at and a possible short story. And I am loving it! It just feels so right and wonderful to get back into writing. 


Anyway moving on, I had yet another busy but mostly fun week last week ^_^. So I thought I'd fill you all in on it! 

On Thursday I went to the mall with my good friend Amanda. We hadn't hung out in soo long so it was very nice to see each other again and catch up!

The fountain at the mall

First we went to the beauty supply store because Amanda was looking for a specific nail polish. I had a lovely conversation with the woman at the register. She was wearing a cameo choker that was beautiful! I was also wearing my skeleton lady cameo. I'm obsessed with cameos. She told me that a woman her boyfriend worked with made jewelry and when she died she was given a bag of cameos and such from her. I love jewelry with a story, they truly are the best pieces.

Second we went back to Lush, because I was still fuming about not being able to get a mask the previous week. Lo and behold....they were sold out of the new rose mask I so badly wanted and would not be getting more until the next day. However they DID have some masks including one that I really do like, BB Seaweed so I cashed in my pots via their recycling program and got a free mask! 

From there I was super tempted by some products but didn't have the money to buy them. I was talking to one of the sales girls in Lush about how I'm obsessed with anything rose scented and she showed me their Jason and the Argan Oil shampoo bar. It was love at first sniff *^* I must go back and buy it when I can. I've actually been dying to try one of their shampoo bars ever since I heard Grav3yardgirl (my favorite youtuber) rave about them in several of her videos.

They also had one called Lullabye that I loved, it smelled like Lavender. The name also makes me think of Fairy Tail. Their Eau Roma Water toner spray was enticing me like crazy, it was so refreshing and smelled wonderful. Definitely another item to add to my wishlist. I got some more samples at Lush. The wonderful girls working there kept complimenting my makeup and were in love with the lipstick I wore.

We then went to Hot Topic, I spent forever going back and forth looking at things. I felt so bad doing that to Amanda! I found the bin of random hair bows that I looked through during my last mall trip and freaked the fuck out. Why? I found this:

Yes, a hair bow of my favorite band of all time, My Chemical Romance. I didn't care how much it was I was not leaving the store without it!!! They still had their buy 1 get 1 half off sale so I got this cute hair bow as well. I am loving florals lately!

I was cracking up over this Titan sweatshirt that they had.

We then went to Kiko Milano to look at their products. Now that I looked at their products more I was pretty impressed by the selection. They even carry a skincare line. One of the sales women working there walked up to me and started a conversation. She also said that my makeup was amazing and that I should totally work there!! I love when I get tons of compliments on my makeup, it really boosts my confidence in my craft.

This was the makeup I had on Thursday:

I am loving this new hairstyle, it's pretty kawaii if I do say so myself *^*. I used the following products:

• Mehron Skin Prep (This is a pre-makeup toner with antiperspirant properties. I've been using it lately because in the summer when it's super hot my makeup always seems to melt a bit. It does leave my skin dry as all hell but it's better once I put a moisturizer over it)

• Makeup Forever Primer #0

• Holika Holika  Essential Petit BB Cream (The orange tube)

• Maybelline Fit Me Powder #110 Porcelain

• Nyx HD concealer on Porecelain

• Anatastia Beverly Hills Dipbrow in Taupe

• Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden

• Urban Decay Naked Palette

• Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner, Blackest Black

• Too Faced LashGasm Mascara

• Bare Minerals Locked & Coated Waterproof mascara Top Coat

• Urban Decay 25/7 Glide On Pencil in Perversion

• Etude House All Over Color in Strawberry Chiffon Cake

• Physicians Formula Natural Nude Highlighter

• Sorme Eyeshadow/Blush shade from my work kit as a contour

• Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil  in Cruella

We browsed in Vera Bradley since Amanda loves their things. I'm not a huge fan of the designer but they did actually have some cute bags in the store.

From there we went to Sephora. Amanda is a makeup beginner so we walked around and I showed her various products explaining what they do. I cringed so hard and wanted to cry when I saw a group of young teenage girls (they looked about 13) doing their makeup with testers. I watched one girl apply a lipstick directly from the tube and then apply eyeliner directly from her eye. NEVER apply lipstick OR anything around the eye area from a tester in a store. Do you know how much bacteria collects on them? The staff really doesn't sanitize them. That's how you get herpes or eye infections. I wanted to say something...but didn't because they were a bratty little bunch and always in the way when I was trying to look at something. Ladies, don't leave your children to run around Sephora. It's annoying. Can you guys tell I have no patience for children? 


 Anyway, rant over. I next brought Amanda to the skincare section. I bring EVERYONE to the skincare section because I believe all of my friends should practice good skincare as long as I'm around. It's best to begin in your early 20s-25 at the latest. If you start taking care of your skin early, it won't age so much as you get older.

We went to get a Glam Glow mask sample for Amanda to try which lead to a conversation with the skincare consultant. She recommended a bunch of products to Amanda and have her samples. She was such a sweetheart!! She gave me some very generous samples of some face masks. We were discussing how I have started to use and am obsessed with rose products because they're super hydrating to my dry skin and they smell so good *^*. She then showed me a wonderful rose toner and gave me two samples of it! This lady definitely knew what she was talking about. She had us guess her age, she looked to be in her 40s but she was in her 60s and her skin was beautiful!!

I got samples of Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask, Fresh Rose Face Mask and Fresh Rose Floral Toner. The cucumber mask is the only one I have been able to try so far and it is AMAZING!! It hydrated my skin like no other. The Fresh Rose toner smells freaking amazing too! 

I also got a sample of Kat Von D's Lock It Foundation. But the guy that gave me the sample gave me the wrong shade ><. I really wanted to try to newly brought back shade 42 which is their shade for Snow White's like myself.

After Sephora we went to the food court and chilled for a bit. I got an iced tea from Dunkin Donuts and they made it right for once!!!! The mall Dunkin messes it up from time to time X___X. It's really not hard to add the correct amount of sugar and lemon.  Lastly, we went to Icing which is Claire's for adults. We found really cute sunglasses and decided to take pictures in them. 

We gossiped and talked about various things on the way back to my house. Unfortunately I became very car sick and nearly threw up in her car X__X. I got dehydrated and overheated, which left me feeling sick for most of the night. I was alright for most of the day on Friday, but I started feeling sick again when I got home. Fall needs to get here...I'm so tired of the heat and of the heat making me sick. 



On Friday Vicky and I had her birthday adventure!!! Her birthday is August 31, but she'll be away at school then :(. By the way, you guys can follow her on twitter at Twitter.com/Vicky_Mellark94. You totally should because she's awesome and loves Marvel, Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. And because I said so. Seriously...follow her and be friends :D. I'm trying to get her to make online friends and be on twitter more!

For her birthday adventure, she decided that she wanted us to make cake pops together. So we went to Wal-Mart to get the supplies. I got her vanilla cake mix, orange colored candy melts, vanilla frosting and lollipop sticks. We got orange candy melts because orange is one of her favorite colors.

 By the time we finally were able to start making the cake pops, it was about 3 PM!!! We had a late start and a late lunch. But we started by making the cake (I made it so, you know it was super awesome).

While we waited for the cake to bake, we played Disney Trivial Pursuit. Every time we had a question to answer, I played the music from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. It was hysterical!!!! Vicky won the game but I was so close to winning.

One of our mistakes was not waiting until the cake had 100% cooled down to crumble it. But we were impatient, we wanted to make the cake pops!! So we crumbled it when it was still a bit warm. The 2nd way we fucked up these cake pops: I added too much frosting and made the pops too soft.

Check out our balls! Hehehehehe xD

From there we formed the balls and chilled them. Once cool we took the sticks and dipped them in some of the melted chocolate then chilled them more. 

The chocolate didn't melt right and then it got overheated and burned a bit. The cake balls kept falling apart in the chocolate so we tried to just drop chocolate on top with a spoon.

And then we ran out.

Ta-da!!! That's how you fuck up cake pops!! It was a lot of fun to make them even though we messed them up so bad. They were good but ohmyfuckinggod the sugar!!! It was such a fun day and I'm glad we got to do something together for Vicky's birthday. I also got her a beautiful rose quartz necklace, I'm thinking of getting one to match ❤.

Anyway, that was the excitement of my week. I'll probably be a bit busy again this week because my new bed is supposed to be delivered on Wednesday and I have a lot to do in preparation for that. Finally, my 10+ year old broken bed that murders my back is bring replaced ;_____; I'm so happy! 

Hope you all have a wonderful day and don't succumb too badly to the monster known as Monday. 

Xoxo
