This year was my first attempts at Halloween makeup looks, so I decided to go with three:
1950's Pin-up Girl
Zombie
Vampire Vixon
I tried to think outside the box and incorporate both the sexy and the scary! They were all so much fun to make, not only because I get to do something out of the ordinary, but I really tested myself on some of the skills I have learned over the past year of watching YouTube tutorials. I think for my first year of doing Halloween looks, I didn't do too bad of a job.
Hello happy bloggers :) Over these past few months, I have purchased several items for fall! I think fall is my favorite season; there is a chill in the air, I get to buy everything that feels comfy and cozy, and the deep reds, purples, and browns really accentuate my features <3 Woo hoo!
During my haul, I went to multiple stores: Target, LUSH, Bath & Body Works, Sigma, Walmart, and Shop Lately. I will list a couple of my favorite items and how they have been working for me so far! Here goes:
LUSH Lovely Jubblies Description: Take care of your finest features with Mother Nature’s finest ingredients. Inspiring men and women alike, our rather brilliant breast cream is packed full of tightening meadowsweet infusion and firming tiger lily petals to help fight the forces of gravity. We add heaps of beeswax and organic oils of almond and avocado to soften your melons and keep them supple. Smooth a generous amount over your décolletage area and leave your cleavage smelling like a fresh floral bouquet of orange blossom, rose, jasmine and ylang ylang.
I have been really enjoying this product more than I expected. I put it on every night after the shower, but I am sparing with it because it was such an expensive product for the amount they give you. It makes me smell like a fresh bouquet of roses, and I love it <3
Sigma's E25 Blending Brush Description: Blend colors together onto the lid with added control. Buff out harsh lines for a well-blended effect.
It's funny, I didn't think a good quality blending brush would make that much of a difference, but it really really really does! It helps the eye-shadows blend into whatever you want to make of them, and you really don't have to put so much effort into the brush. I will say though that after a few uses, the brush is not as tapered, and seemed to have fluff out a bit. I mention this because it makes it a little more difficult to focus on an exact spot to blend (specifically for me since I have small, hooded eyes). I think I will be purchasing a smaller blending brush to hit those targeted areas :)
Sigma's E30 Pencil Brush Description: Soften pencil liners along the top and bottom lash lines, add shadow to line the eyes, or use to highlight inner corner of eyes.
I tried going so long without purchasing a pencil brush, and I'm not sure why. Everytime I would go into a drug store I would look for one, and I never had any luck. This brush is SO amazing for getting color into your outer-v area as well as making a clean cut crease....LOVE IT!
Essie's After School Boy Blazer Description: it's back to cool when you're back in blue-black. this academy blue lacquer is the prep-school chic must of the season. DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde free.
This color is so beautiful on, simply because it is so dark and deep of a blue. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did, but for me I think really dark colors look good on my nails compared to my pastey white skin, lol! I feel like the dark colors have a bit of an edge and sophistication at the same time :)
