Ingredients you'll need:
Once mixed in, the colour of the milk should appear a light brown. The last step is to add in a pinch of cinnamon which will give it an extra oomph and mix that in.
Recipe: Nutella hot chocolate ❤
28 October 2013
Well hello to you my reader chums! I've realised since I've had a blog called dellalovesnutella, that I've never done a post related to Nutella! Today, I decided to show you one of my favourite autumnal/winter drinks: Nutella hot chocolate!
The first step is heating the milk in a pan, for one portion measure out a mug full of milk. Pout that in the pan and heat it on a low/medium heat.(I've put two mug fulls in here as I was making two portions) The next step when the milk is fully heated is to add in the Nutella. I'd use between two to three large teaspoons of Nutella depending on how rich you would like it and mix it into the milk.
Voila! Here's your Nutella hot chocolate! I hope you enjoyed a slightly different post and let me know if you tried this recipe! Thankyou for reading <3
Review: MUA blushes + swatches
13 October 2013
Well hello to you my reader chums!
Got a review for you today! I recieved these MUA blushes when I won the goodie bag a couple of months back, they were new out at the time.
I love the fact they've named the shades now! 
These ones are marshmallow and bubblegum, such cute names!
Here's the swatches of them. As you can tell the blushes are highly pigmented with one swipe giving you a good load of colour. Having such high pigmented blushes means it requires a lot of blending to make them look natural. 
Here's what they look like blended. I love the finish of these with them giving a lovely glow. Bubblegum is a more red toned blush in comparison to marshmallow which is a baby pink. I think bubble gum would be lovely for the autumn months as its a warmer shade.
Compared to the old MUA blush packaging, I much prefer this one. It's easier to open because it has a little circular hole to open it. Also I think as its black and thinner, it looks more sleek and expensive.
I would say the products last for the majority of the day but would have to be reapplied later on.
As usual, I've been thoroughly impressed with the MUA products. These blushes are amazing quality for the price they cost. The pigmentation is beautiful, giving a lovely look when blended, a definite recommend.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed! Have any of you tried the MUA blushes? <3
September favourites!
2 October 2013
Well hello to you my reader chums!
The first thing is the radox berry burst shower gel. I heard about this through one of Fleur's videos and when I was in the supermarket I'd thought I'd give it a go! Not going to lie but this shower gel is amazing, it smells of cherryade! I fell in love with it after the first use, you just want to keep sniffing it, it smells that yummy!
The next product is the John Frieda sheer blonde colour renew shampoo. If you've been following my blog, you'd know I recently had my hair ombréd. Therefore I thought I'd better go out and purchase a purple shampoo because it tones the colour and gets rid of the brassy tones. This shampoo works a treat, I noticed the change after the first use! It really helps being out the blonde even more! For the best results I would say use it up to 3 times a week to help your ombre stay blonde. For a little bonus it does have the nicest smell which lingers on the hair after use. The shampoo cost around £6 which is a bit pricey for shampoo however in my opinion I say it's totally worth it, a definite recommend.
The next product is baby lips by maybelline in peach kiss. As you all probably know baby lips finally came to the uk the other month and I just had to get my hands on one! I chose peach kiss purely for the purple packaging as its my favourite colour! I'm not usually a fan of peach flavoured things, but the scent of this is lovely, very refreshing. The balm itself definitely lived up to expectations because it really moisturises the lips and makes them soft. I think baby lips was a huge essential this month because the weathers getting colder meaning lips get chapped etc.
One of my favourite nail polishes of the month has to be the maybelline gel colours in surreal. It's a light pretty indigo colour. I was a little sceptical at first when it says lasting for 7 days as that's hard to find in a nail polish. However I was amazed after about 6/7 days there was only minor chips which I would usually expect after 3/4 days with other nail polishes. Which means by the end of the week my nails were still in good condition, very impressed I must say!
My other favourite nail polish is Barry m in the shade bright purple. I've loved this for a very long time. I think it's probably one of my most worn polishes! As its autumn now I thought I'd get this out because its the season where I start to wear darker shades. Like usual Barry m lasts for about 5/6 days and the colour is beautiful.
The last product is a cream blush in morning dew by topshop. I've already done a review on this which you can check out here if you like and featured it in a tutorial here. To sum it up, this blush is a lovely day to day natural blush which gives a nice flush of colour to the face.
Again another month has ended! Where did September go?! I have idea what made this month go so quickly, I think it's the fact of going back to school and getting into the routine again. Here are the things I've been loving this month:
My music favourite of the month has to be Beautiful Life by Union J. As soon as I heard it, I fell in love with it, it's such an inspiring song! The message behind it is really touching and I've honestly had it on repeat ever since it came out!
Thank you for reading my monthly favourites, I hope you enjoyed them! Bring on October! ❤
Autumn/fall make up tutorial ❤
22 September 2013
Well hello to you my reader chums!
These are all the products I used! 
First thing I do is put the collections lasting perfection concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes and then blend it in with my fingers. I then set that with the Rimmel match perfection powder in ivory and real techniques powder brush which gives you that extra bit of coverage. The blush I use for this look is the topshop blush in morning dew which gives you a lovely flush of colour to your cheeks in this fall season. It's quick and easy as you just dab and blend it into your cheeks.
Now the face is done, I'll move onto the eyes. First thing I do is prime the eye lids and all the way up to the brow bone with the MUA eye primer. For a base I use the subtle creamy colour in the top left corner which goes all over the lid with a base shadow brush by real techniques. I then using the same brush apply the copper colour into the crease and blend it out with the brown colour and a real techniques deluxe crease brush. I then take more of the copper colour on a detailer brush and place under my lower lash line on the outer third.
For the brows I use the same colour that I used for blending out in the crease. I think defining the brows really helps shape the face. 
The next step is eye liner. For this look I like a slight winged eye liner, I use the collection felt tip liner for this. Sadly it didn't go too well today. After that I use the white coal liner by MUA on my water line as I find it really opens the eyes. 
Last step for the eyes is mascara. I curl my lashes and apply the falsies by maybelline in waterproof. 
For lips I like to use baby lips as in the colder weather you need something to keep the lips moisturised! The one I have is in peach kiss. 
I then set all the make up with the MUA fixing mist which helps your make up last all day :) 
Here's the final look, I hope you enjoyed! Thankyou for reading <3
Today I'd thought I would share my autumn/fall make up look that I like to wear as we've just come into the autumn season! 
Here's a before and after shot, I'll now tell you how to achieve this look :)
For highlighting the eyes, I use the creamy shimmery colour on the left for my inner corner/ tear duct area. Fur the brow bone I use the pinky/nude colour as its quite subtle.
Review: Topshop blush in morning dew + swatches
17 September 2013
Well hello to you my reader chums!
I've been really lazy with blogging lately but I'm going to start and get back into the swing of things! Today I thought I'd do a review on a product I have been using a lot lately which is the Topshop cream blush in the shade morning dew.
I first wanted this blush ever since I saw Tanya Burr use it in one of her tutorials, however, my Topshop doesn't stock their makeup range. If you saw my haul post, you'd see that I went to the bigger Topshop near me and was able to finally get my hands on it!
I'm literally in love with this blush! As soon as I started using it I instantly fell in love with it. Due to it being a cream blush you can just dot it on your cheeks and blend, meaning it's quick in the mornings for school and no hassle of a brush! After applied it gives a subtle pink glow to the cheeks which makes it quite a natural everyday blush.
As you can see when blended it doesn't look too bright and gives a nice glow. The blush also has subtle shimmers in it which aren't too noticeable but add the glow to the cheeks if that makes sense.
Also, I love the packaging, it's just too cute! I absolutely love dotty things, it's like my favourite pattern! I'd definitely recommend this blush, it's perfect for everyday use, gives a lovely pigment of colour to the cheeks and it was at the affordable price of £6!
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it! <3
Being happy #2
11 September 2013
Well hello to you my reader chums!
It's been over a week since I last blogged! Sorry about that, everything's just been a bit busy because I went back to school on Monday and its all been a bit stressful! I can't believe I'm in my last year of school- year 13! Seems like yesterday I was beginning year 7..
Today I thought I'd talk about happiness, this is something I've struggled with for the past year if I'm honest. It was such a hard year for me for many personal reasons but I was able to turn all this hate and upset into something positive and I am much happier now. I have some tips which may help:
1) Learn to accept who you are- if you keep comparing yourself to every other you person you see, you'll never find happiness within your own skin. You need to realise everybody even the most popular girl in school has flaws and isn't perfect. Just because you don't follow the latest trend or look a certain way it doesn't make you weird or unusual, if anything it's a good thing. Everyone is unique meaning there's no point in copying people just to fit in with the crowd because the people who like you won't know the real you, they think your this person your trying to portray. Being you will help you gain true friends who get and understand you.
2) Always look at the good in things- what I mean by this is that even if your having a bad day, take a step back and think about what you love about your life, it could be friends, family, your house etc. Remember it's just a bad day not a bad life, things to look up, time is the best healer.
3) Live every day like its your last- Time goes so fast and before you know it you've grown up, I'm in year 13 like where did the time go?!! Wake up each morning with a positive thought as I guarantee it'll change your whole outlook for the day. Grasp every moment and cherish it, laugh with your friends, do crazy things and life with no regrets!
4) Don't dwell- This is so hard not to to. A key thing of being happy is to not dwell on bad things that have happened, it's about learning to pick yourself up, being stronger and moving on. All the bad things that happen in your life create you to be the person your going to be, you learn from your mistakes. If say one day you felt you betrayed a friend, don't dwell and make yourself feel even worse, go up to that friend and apologise, don't overthink it in your head and make it sound worse than it actually was.
5) Just keep swimming-My favourite saying <3 Life is like a roller coaster- cliche but it is. It has endless amounts of ups and downs but instead of causing the downs to affect you, you need to keep swimming. As much as you may hate your life right now, I promise you it will get better, it has for me and it will for you. Life isn't easy but if you don't let it get you down, happiness can be found. Happiness is a journey not a destination.
My friends help me through everything <3

August favourites
2 September 2013
Well hello to you my reader chums!
The month of autumn is here. Whether you're looking for the best affordable setting spray or lip balm, here are my August favourites.
Real Techniques Powder Brush
I've never included brushes in my favourites before for some reason but I absolutely love real techniques! I bought this brush at the end of June I believe. This month I have been using it every day! It's such a soft brush, I could just sit here and brush it on my face. The brush applies powder really well and is also good for bronzer just to bronze the face-up, giving it a summery glow.
Vivo Eyeshadow
Vivo is a cheap makeup brand found in Tesco where they sell eye shadows for a pound. I bought this ages ago but this month I have used it basically every day as a base because I find it's a really pretty subtle colour to use that will go well with any look. The colour itself is quite a sheer creamy sparkly colour that looks quite natural on the lid.
I have two favourite nail polishes of the month the first one being MUA's nail polish in the colour frozen yoghurt. I've already done a review on this which you can check out here. I just love it, it's such a lovely colour and stays on for a good amount of time for the price it is of just a pound!
White Polish by Beauty UK
I've been using this for nail art designs especially this month and it's such a good colour! I think it's pretty cheap too. The nail art stays on really well and the white is opaque so you don't need too much of it.
Cocoa Butter lip balm
This has been a favourite of mine for a while now but I've been using it more this month due to the hot weather. It has SPF in it and it smells of chocolate, how can you not love it! A definite summer essential for me!
MUA Fixing Mist
My last beauty product this month is the fixing mist by MUA. I love this product, it's really refreshing to spray on when your makeup has been applied especially in this weather! I would say it has made a difference with the length my make-up stayed on for because this month I've been on many days out and this product definitely has helped keep my make-up in place.
Thank you for reading <3
