A Beauty Haul

A few weeks ago I was super happy to be invited to a beauty sale. As a beauty addict there is no greater place than a room full of new make-up products that are half the price. I tried to behave myself and not buy everything I laid my eyes on, but I did find some amazing items that I am going to show you today! Hope you enjoy watching it!

The Spring Essential: My Quay & ASOS Sunglasses

As the sun is starting to shine more often I was in desperate need of a good pair of sunglasses. I already have a gold/brown pair from Quay Australia, which I picked up in London last year, but I really wanted to have another pair.

The pair I was eyeing up the most are the Quay 'My Girl' sunglasses. The blue, mirrored glasses and the cat eye shape make it perfect for the summer. Since I already spent way too much money on summer clothes I decided not to make the purchase, but I did find a pair from Quay in the ASOS sale section that were right up my street and so affordable too.

This model is called 'Girly Talk' and they were discounted from €42,40 to €16,90. I love the cat eye shape and the purple glasses. I also like that they are cool toned and don't have any gold in them. It really makes them different from any other pair I own. These are definitely more a statement piece compared to the other pair. The coloured, mirrored glasses definitely have to take the blame for that!

While looking on ASOS for sunglasses, I also spotted a pair of sunnies from their own brand. These black cat eye sunglasses are such a classic and so stylish. They were only €14,08 - such a bargain - and I love them. My eyelashes do have the tendency to rub against the glasses. A bit annoying, but when I don't curl them and coat them in mascara it doesn’t happen. And honestly I can live with that because look how pretty they are? *heart eyes emoji*

What is your favourite pair of sunglasses?

Vegan Raspberry Oatmeal Cookies


Raspberries are probably my favourite fruit. I love the sweet taste and they look so pretty on tarts and desserts. After looking on the web for an easy, healthy recipe I found it. These raspberry oatmeal cookies are easy to make and healthy too. Almost just as easy as my homemade banana bread. You can double the ingredients for a bigger batch of cookies but for a cookie craving this amount is perfect!

What do you need? (for about 5-6 cookies)
1 banana
70g oats
A handful of raspberries (I used frozen ones)

Preheat your oven to 180°C/360°F and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl, add the oats and raspberries and mix it together. Take a spoon to scoop the dough out of the bowl and use your hands to press them down on the baking tray. They won't rise a lot, so this is really a must. 
Place them in the oven for about 20 minutes and check if they are golden brown and won't fall apart when you lift them up. 
They are supposed to be quite soft and moist and I really like them. They are not your typical crunchy cookie but these are so easy to make, delicious and really good for you! Click here to see more of my baking posts!
