We love ice cream, and we love makeup, so when we discovered a brand that combined the two… we nearly fell off our thrones. 

Beauty Bakerie Cosmetics is a makeup brand that is inspired by desserts, and we are in love. 

Their latest offering comes in the form of a highlighter that is packaged in an ice cream-like tub.

The company offers a wide range of cosmetics, from BROWnie kits to lip kits, and every shade is named after a delicious treat of some kind. 

Prices for these tasty products start at just €10, and go up as far as €35. 

You can actually buy all these wonders on ASOS at the moment, so get shopping, ladies.

If you are looking for your daily dose of PURE JOY, then look no further!

We have decided that animal Instagram accounts are the best way to put a smile on a person's face… hence the article. 

After hours (and hours) of research, we have come up with the five best animal Instagrams to follow… 

You're so welcome!

1. Ludwick the Guinea Pig

This hairless wonder was abandoned as a baby, and rescued by his now, proud parents. 

He has 135,000 followers on Instgram, and is really embracing his new-found fame. 

Ludwick really enjoys all things food, fashion and, of course, sleeping (we can relate on every level!)

He also looks like a teeny-tiny hippo.

2. Pumpkin the Raccoon

This glorious little gal was rescued when she was just one month old, after she fell out of a tree. 

Since then, she has been living with her new mum, Rosie, in the Bahamas (jealous).

Pumpkin has over one million Instagram followers and is pretty much as famous as Kim Kardashian.

3. Wally the Bunny

Wally is an English angora rabbit with giant, wing-like ears, fluffy paws, and a smile that could light up a room.

He lives with his fabulous mum, Molly, and his sister (also a rabbit) Molly. 

With 77,000 followers on Instagram, this little guy is certainly a star on-the-rise. 

Wally also kind of looks like a poodle – in the best possible way, though. 

4. Tuna the Dog

This splendid little critter is our FAVOURITE animal on Instagram.

 

After 4 days apart, I'm back with my tiny friend and I think it's safe to say that his codependency issues have been reinstated.

Tuna is a six-year-old Chiweenie with an exaggerated overbite, recessed jawline, and a magnificent wrinkly neck.

He loves dressing up, hanging out with his mum and snoozing.

Tuna has 1.8 million followers on Instagram, making him the most famous animal on this list.

We LOVE HIM! 

5. Priscilla the Pig

We'd like to introduce you to the most glamorous pig on Earth!

Priscilla is a little pig with a big attitude, and her favourite colour is pink! 

She has a better wardrobe than most humans, and loads of wonderful barnyard pals. 

SLAY, QUEEN! 

6. Conrad the Cat

Last, but certainly not least, we have Conrad… the sassy British shorthair cat from Wales. 

Like many animals of Instagram, Conrad is often spotted in this season's hottest outfits, and loves all things style.

He has amassed a following of over 43,000 adoring fans, and that number is only growing.

In the aftermath of global protests yesterday, the Women’s March has left people across the globe fired-up and ready to make their voices heard.

With many pledging to join the 100 days of resistance against Donald Trump, some have decided to get to work by leaving strong messages for him and all to see.

Cities around the world have been embellished with sanitary pads over the last 24 hours, each one bearing an important message on behalf of the movement.

With slogans like ‘proud to be a nasty woman’ and ‘women fight back’, the feminist movement – and, indeed, the movement towards equality for everyone – has truly been ignited by the events of the last few months.

“Imagine if some men were as disgusted with rape as they are with periods” was the message on one sanitary pad, stuck to a public bench in D.C.

Clearly, many didn’t come equipped to share their sanitary pad message, so they instead decided to improvise and make the best of what they had.

Hanging like Christmas tree ornaments, bras of all colours and sizes decorated trees in Washington D.C. and cities across the U.S. and the world.

With pictures like these, it’s impossible not to feel inspired by the events that transpired yesterday.

Well done to everyone who took part in any way they could.

Listen, it's no great secret that we are really into unicorns, but is nothing sacred anymore?

While we love the idea of chowing down on a pastel pink donut or lilac pancakes, we cannot condone the idea of unicorn RAMEN noodles.

We hate to tell you, but throwing a splash of food colouring into a recipe does not automatically give a food unicorn status.

Unicorns should be respected and adored… not taken for granted, ladies. 

Also, the concept of mixing a savoury dish with the most magical creature to never walk the Earth just seems… well, wrong. 

Also, ALSO… these weird noodles look like worms. 

If it's not sugary and sweet, then it is NOT a unicorn food group. 

We'll pass…

OK, so Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and most of you are probably wondering what to get the man in your life.

Look no further, lovelies, because broquets are the answer to all your problems.

"Flowers are lame, say it with beef" is the slogan supporting the company that creates pretty flower arrangements… out of beef.

 That's right, ladies; you can buy glorious flower bouquets, made entirely from dried beef jerky!

For the cool price of €32, you can hook your man up with the meatiest flower display you could imagine.

 

Love peppered #jerky, but cleaning up from making a #Broquet can be annoying. #worthit #Broquet #SayItWithBeef #beefjerky

Yesterday, millions of men, women and children from around the world took to the streets for the Women’s March.

With the original intent of marching in Washington D.C. to protest Donald Trump’s discriminatory message throughout his presidential campaign, word quickly spread, and hundreds of thousands of people wanted to rally for the cause.

Get ready for some of the cutest pictures you have EVER seen…

The Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Centre in Mathura, Northern India is home to 20 rescued elephants.

These lovely elephants get baths, a nutritious diet and any veterinary care they may need, while also roaming a large sanctuary of open fields.

Not only do these majestic animals receive healthcare and food, they have also been tricked out with some pretty cool attire. 

Women in a nearby village have been knitting large, colourful sweaters for the elephants in the centre, to keep them protected from cold winter temperatures. 

Amazing! 

We cannot begin to cope with how cute this is!

As if we needed another reason to love David Beckham.

On the way back to his Kensington home this weekend, the dad-of-four came across an elderly woman who had collapsed in the street.

With a fire engine on the scene to assist her, and an ambulance on the way, most people would likely drive on and leave the professionals to it.

Not David Beckham.

 

A photo posted by David Beckham (@davidbeckham) on

The 41-year-old moved his car in front of the lady, so as to block any oncoming traffic from getting too close.

Giving her a bottle of water, David waited until the paramedics arrived before going about his day.

And it wasn’t just the elderly lady who was thankful for the help; onlookers were shocked and impressed to witness the A-lister’s act of kindness.

“Was helping an old lady who fell over on my lunch break, and guess who drives up to help? David Beckham. That’s who. What a gentleman,” wrote one passer-by.

A spokesman for the London Fire Brigade also commented on the incident, saying:

“At around 4.45pm, a fire engine was flagged down to an elderly woman who had tripped when crossing the road, and fell and hit her head.

“David Beckham was parked nearby and had already given her a bottle of water. He assisted and, when the ambulance arrived, was thanked and told he could move on.”

It is actually hard to believe that something so gosh-darn pretty could be made from ice cream, but hey… welcome to the future. 

 This gorgeous dessert trend started in i-Creamy in Sydney, Australia, and has since become something of an Internet sensation. 

In fairness, they are extremely photogenic ice creams… very Instagram-worthy! 

We could look at these all day and not get bored!

Despite the fact that it’s baltic outside, we are already mentally preparing for summer!

When we think about summer beauty and makeup, we always think of a fresh and dewy glow… and nothing too heavy.

Jenny Brough Photography | Celebrity | Fashion | Beauty | Flowers - BEAUTY:

That is why we are happy to introduce you to face glossing, which is set to be the biggest summer beauty trend this year.

Image result for face gloss

Face glossing is a look that we saw on the runway last year, and also on Kylie Jenner (so it must be good!).

This wonderful beauty trend is considered a form of highlighting, when you apply clear face gloss to your temples, cheekbones, cupid’s bow, and eyelids.

Love a good greasy eyelid look. #facegloss #milkmakeup

However, it can also be used in place of an eyeshadow, just like King Kylie.

Whatever way you choose to apply your gloss, we guarantee you’ll love it.

Roll on, summer 2017!
