We have reached peak unicorn food with this magical unicorn pizza

Jul 8, 2017

by Staff Writer

Unicorns, mermaids and other mythical creatures were having a major millennial moment.

Thanks to the magical trend, a number of amazing fairytale foodstuffs were invented, from unicorn cake pops to mermaid toast, but this latest discovery takes the biscuit.

Danielle Tullo Instagram

NYC eatery Industry Kitchen is responsible for this candy floss-topped rainbow sprinkled frankenfood.

The amazing pizza, known as the Pop Candy Land Pizza, is the stuff on Instagram dreams.

Rather than being a traditional savoury pizza, this sweet treat is more of a confectionary-lovers dish.

A post shared by Danielle Tullo (@danielletullo) on Jun 8, 2017 at 9:02am PDT

The so-called pizza eschews the traditional tomato sauce and mozzarella base in favour of sweet cream cheese sauce and popping candy.

Cosmo food editor Danielle Tullo sought out the mythical pizza, and posted some amazing snaps of it to her social media.

'It's basically a giant sugar cookie covered in fluffy cotton candy," she captioned her Instagram.

Whether for dinner or dessert, we're still dying to get ourselves a slice…

We've tried to channel the unicorn look through glitter festival makeup and holographic hair trends, but emulating the fairytale creature has now never been easier.

While it may be physically impossible to convert ourselves into the mythical creature, these stunning makeup brushes are here to help.

The handle of each brush resembles a unicorn horn, while the brush hairs are dyed a rainbow of beautiful pastel colours.

The bright blue handle is also the ultimate colour pop, making them uber-easy to find in a cluttered makeup bag.

And the best part is?

These affordable bad boys are from high street favourite, Penneys.

The PS… Unicorn Brush Set comes in at a super affordable €10.00 for four brushes.

The set includes a fan brush for an on-fleek highlight, as well as a triad of foundation, buffing and powder brushes.

These brushes are literally the stuff of fairy tales…

So, while we have you here; don't forget to have your say in the inaugural SHEmazing Awards this May! It's time to vote, and you can do it right here!

When we dream of our future homes, these little magical soaps are definitely on the cards.

Created by Carmen Iclodean, the person behind Earth's Raw Beauty, the soaps will liven up any bathroom.

A post shared by Carmen Iclodean (@earthsrawbeauty) on Mar 14, 2017 at 9:04am PDT

But, they're not just there to look pretty. They're scented with a mixture of berries, peaches, nectarines, apples, and kumquats, so you're guaranteed to smell like a dream.

A post shared by Carmen Iclodean (@earthsrawbeauty) on Mar 12, 2017 at 1:13pm PDT

Earth's Raw Beauty also upload the process of making the soaps on social media, and we have to admit, it all looks pretty cool.

The soaps are currently not in stock due to such a high demand, but are about to be restocked, so keep an eye open if you want them to be a new feature in your bathroom.

OMG! This Irish bar just made a DREAMY unicorn hot chocolate

Feb 23, 2017

by Staff Writer

This is not a drill!

Okay, nobody panic, but there is actually somewhere in Ireland that we can get unicorn hot chocolate.

The world has been pretty obsessed with unicorn-related products lately, from unicorn makeup brushes to unicorn refreshers on the Starbucks secret menu.

Now, one Irish bar and restaurant is getting in on the trend.

The Paddocks, in Clonee, Country Dublin, has been serving up exciting beverages forever, but their latest offering of a unicorn hot chocolate has us in a tizzy.

The gorgeous pink hue and the rainbows sprinkled on top make this the perfect treat for our inner child. Plus, it's probably the most Insta-worthy hot drink in the country right now.

The Paddocks is famous for its outlandish drinks, and the hot drink repertoire boasts much more than just a unicorn hot chocolate.

They have also conjured up a raspberry hot chocolate, a Captain Morgans hot chocolate, and a hot chocolate laced with Baileys, marshmallows and Nutella.

That will definitely keep us toasty during Storm Doris!

Coffee lovers, rejoice! Unicorn LATTES exist, and they’re magic AF

Jan 21, 2017

by Staff Writer

We love any kind of unicorn confectionery, from unicorn cakepops to unicorn doughnuts, but combining coffee and the mythical creature just never seemed feasible.

But much to our delight, unicorn coffee is now a thing, and the colourful, star-sprikled hot beverages are definitely too pretty to drink.

As well as being prettier than we'll ever be, the unicorn lattes are also super healthy, and give the drinker an infusion of vitamins and minerals.

So pretty much like drinking unicorn blood in Harry Potter then? Except with out all the "cursed life" fine print.

The drinks healthy credentials come from the fact that it is made with ginger, honey, coconut milk and lemon.

The dreamy blue hue comes from a smattering of live algae, a source of protein, iron and B vitamins.

Brooklyn coffee shop The End came us with the gorge concept, and hopefully it will catch up here soon!

Until then we'll be scrolling through Instagram, wishing our morning coffee was as damn cute as a unicorn latte.

Maybe we'll have to get some star sprinkles to jazz up our instant coffee.

These unicorn cake pops are the CUTEST confectionery items ever

Jan 13, 2017

by Staff Writer

Unicorn everything blew up in 2016, but if you thought the trend was over, prepare to be mistaken.

Tasty, unicorn-themed treats have been all over our instagrams, from macaroons to doughnuts, but the latest confectionery invention is beyond dreamy.

These unicorn ice creams are the creation on baker Raymond Tn, a baker and food decorator based in Melbourne, Australia.

Ray is a self taught baker who comes up with the most whimsical, adorable sweet treats we've ever seen.

Raymond actually does giveaways of these pops over on his Instagram, so if you're not in the mood to fly to Melbourne to get your hands on some, an Instagram add might be a better option.

Louboutin AND unicorns? What more could a girl want?

If you thought the unicorn beauty trend was going to be left behind in 2016, you are sorely mistaken.

From unicorn horn handled makeup brushes to unicorn inspired glitter eye shadows, we're not quite ready to give up on the mythical makeup quite yeat.

While most of the unicorn themed pieces we've spotted have been from independent online boutiques, a major player in the fashion and beauty world has just stepped up and revealed yeat another unicorn beauty buy.

A photo posted by Allure Magazine (@allure) on Jan 4, 2017 at 6:06pm PST

Christian Louboutin have just launched their Loubichrome set of stiletto nail varnishes, but with the iridescent sheen on the spike heel, it looks more like a unicorn horn than anything else.

The gorgeous spike nail varnish bottles are beautiful enough in themseleves, but the colours within are just as amazing.

The shades include a vibrant violet, summery yellow, and blood orange.

A photo posted by suger23 (@suger23) on Jan 4, 2017 at 10:04pm PST

The colours also have a seriously on trend chrome finish.

The limited edition collection isn't available yet, but should retail for around €30 like the rest of the designer nail colours.

While thirty quid is a bit of a splurge for a nail varnish, that unicorn horn handle kind of doubles up as a dressing table decoration, right?

From its Starbucks-scented Christmas collection to its Better Than Sex mascara, Too Faced is well known for its quirky approach to cosmetics.

And not being one to shy away from an eye-catching trend, the beauty giant has released a holographic lipstick shade named after everyone’s favourite mystical creature.

In stick form, the ‘Unicorn Tears’ lip colour appears baby blue, but when applied, it dresses the lips in a shimmering state of iridescent pink.
