Awards Awards And More Awards All My Faves

So many award shows of late I can barely keep up with them all

but I have being keeping my eye on them and the only thing that matters to me as always is the dresses.

Apart from The Fall not winning anything at The IFTAS apart from Aisling Franciosi 

(who plays Katie Benedetto the crazy babysitter)

I really thought it deserved to win Best Drama but that's another story lol.

Anyway I picked my favourites from each ceremony I picked 4 from each 

including The Baftas The Billboards, The Soap Awards, The IFTAS and from a couple of premieres at Cannes.

Let me know what your favorites were, has your's not made the cut?

Do you have any that you thought were just awful?

Let me know either on Twitter or in the comments below.

Stay tuned for my post on The Beauty Blog Awards coming soon 

and a video on all the lovely things I was treated to in their super generous goody bag.

Until next time

Homemade Ferreotella Recipe (Nutella/Ferrero Rocher Mix Up)

Love Nutella and Ferrero Rocher love them together, how about a healthy version with no sugar or loads of calories that you can make yourself with only 4 ingredients!

 I repeat only 4 ingredients and you can make it at home yourself with very little effort.

I have being making my own Nutella or Ferreotella if you will lol for a year now and my family and friends honestly can't get enough I still buy the odd jar of Nutella every so often but it last ages compared to my homemade Ferotella version.

If you're up for making your own little jar of heaven read on,

ingredients:
350g Peeled and Roasted Hazelnuts ( Go to the end of this post for tips on peeling)
2 1/2 tbs of sunflower oil
a pinch of salt
1 tsp of Vanilla extract 
3 tbs of honey
2 tbs of Cacao Powder

method :
1.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees 
and lay the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until they're golden and nicely roasted no longer mind as they will burn and ruin your masterpiece.

2. Next add all the roasted nuts to your food processor with 2 tbs of sunflower oil and a pinch of salt.
Then blend until you have a smooth but a chunky buttery texture this should roughly take about 6 minutes or at least 10 minutes depending on your food processor.

3 Scoop out the hazelnut butter into a mixing bowl and add the honey, vanilla extract and your Cacao powder and mix well until it's all combined.

4. Add your ferreotella to a clean jar and voila you have your own homemade Ferreotella.

Well that's it I hope you found my recipe easy to follow and you will be trying it out for yourself,

this is the start of The Beauty Chest's recipes feature 

I will add a new one every month of some of my favorites.

I hope you enjoyed this one 
let me know if you tried my recipe out in the comments or on Twitter 

and what you thought,

Until next time,

If you're like me and you detest peeling hazelnuts I have the simplest and quite fun solution to the problem.

1. Boil 3 cups of water in a big pot with high sides and when the water has boiled

add 3 tbs of bicarbonate soda the water will foam up so be very careful you don't burn yourself.

2. Add the nut to the boiling water and leave them to boil for 3 minutes max the water will turn black but don't worry it is supposed too, meanwhile prepare a bowl of ice cold water.

3. After the 3 minutes is up take the nuts of the heat. Using a slotted spoon  take the nuts out of the boiling water drain them and add them to the ice cold water.

That's it it really takes the bother out of peeling them for ages

as this literally takes minutes.

Super SuperMud Glamglow Review

OMG!

I have just found the ultimate holy grail of face masks that will be forever my bestest best friend!

Glamglow SuperMud you are the one!
Now I know Glamglow has being around for quite awhile now but finally finally I tried it out for myself.

I went to VIP Magazines fabulous readers event last week at Clery's Dublin
and I got a little tube in my goodie bag and my Mam got the Glamglow eye treatment in her's I'm dying for her to try that out as well I must say.

I was delighted as I heard nothing but A-MAZING things about it so I was so excited to try it it was originally invented for the Hollywood elite and I can see why I seriously love it love it love it!

I slapped a thin layer on my boat race and

it started to dry almost instantly and as it did I could see it beginning to suck out all the nasties from my nose and chin area the magic charcoal clung to my problem pores with its tough fighting spirit although I felt like I had cement on my face and I couldn't speak let alone smile now this this was hard as I saw and felt how fabulous it was working.

The instructions recommend you leave it on for 10 to 20 minutes I left mine on the max time.

I jammed out to music whilst I waited then the time came to rinse off with warm water and when I did and looked in the mirror I was met with ultra clean spotless pores a brighter and cleaner skinned version of myself I was absolutely delighted with the results I'm quite obsessed with facemasks but never before have I had one that did this for my skin it's a total game changer for me.

I have I'd say one more use out of this tube maybe two at a push but as soon as it's gone I'll be straight back into Clery's for this little pot of magic.

If you need anymore convincing it smells divine too very earthy mixed with eucalyptus if that's your kind of thing.
