Cooking With Dr. Pepper | Frosty Pep

|| This post is sponsored by Dr. Pepper and Lip Smackers.

Happy Halloween, pumpkins! Anyone having a party to celebrate tonight? If you've got the costumes and decorations, I've got the perfect drink for you to make! It's easy to create, tastes amazing and looks a little creepy towards the end. I mean, who doesn't want all of that in a drink, am I right?


Today we're putting a fun twist on the classic soda float with Dr. Pepper by creating their signature Frosty Pep drink!

You Will Need:

  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream (per serving)
  • 1 12 oz. can of Dr. Pepper  (per serving)
Let's do this! Place one scoop of vanilla ice cream in a tall glass (or pumpkin goblet if you're feeling Halloween-y!).Gently pour one bottle/can of cold Dr. Pepper over the ice cream. Stir until it's nice and creamy.


How easy was that!? Once the foam settles it almost gives off a creepy brain look - perfect for Halloween! You can find all the ingredients and more at your local Rite Aid. Find your local Rite Aid here.


Psst. Rite Aid also has all of their Halloween decorations/costumes 50% off right now for all your last minute needs! :)

#BBCChallenge | Fall

Hey love muffins! It's the end of the month, so you know what that means!? It's the Beauty Blog Coalition Challenge time! This month's theme was simply fall which was a lot harder than one would think. I couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted to do.

  

How to get this look:

  • Starting off with my face, I took my good ol' faithful It Cosmetics CC+ Cream in Light and applied it all over my face with a damp Beauty Blender.
  • After foundation, for some reason, I always go to my eyes. I like to start off with a base (like MAC Paint Pot in Painterly) to neutralize everything out.
  • I decided to play with the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette for this look. I started with the shade Milk Chocolate in the crease.
  • Then I took Cherry Cordial and placed that out the outer lid and inner lid but left the middle of the lid bare (for now) and lightly blended it into the crease.
  • For the middle of the lid, I wanted a nice pop of gold so I took Creme Brulee (literally the prettiest gold like, ever!) and packed that into the middle and lightly blended it into Cherry Cordial.
  • I brought Cherry Cordial down to the lower lid and put Creme Brulee in the middle of the lower lid as well and blended that out.
  • I finished my eyes with Ardell #220s and Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara.
  • For brows, I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Brunette and combed it out. I have naturally full brows but sometimes they lack a little shape. This is perfect to pull everything together.
  • Back to my face, I applied It Cosmetics CC+ Cream Concealer and then set it with the highlight part from Smashbox's Master Class 3 Palette.
  • From the same palette, I used the "contour" to well, contour with and the "bronze" part to warm up my look.
  • For my lips, what's better for fall than a dark lip? Kat Von D's Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Exorcism! 
So, ladies and gents, that's my take on a fun, fall look! Make sure to check out the other gorgeous ladies from the Beauty Blog Coalition taking part in this challenge and show them some love!

Baby | Snackin' On The Go With Sprout®

My one year old is a total snacker. A little bit of this, a little bit of that - as long as he can hold it in his hands and feed it to himself, he's happy.
