Halloween 2008.

I hope everyone had a great Halloween this year!!! As for myself, I give it a 7 out of 10. I had a blast dressing up as Cruella De Vil, but unfortunately, my work wasn't so enthusiastic this year when it came to dressing up. What a bunch of party poopers.

And since I work with a bunch of party poopers this year, I don't have too many pictures of me in my full costume! But here's what I do have:

Rawr! This was taken in the morning when everything was nice and fresh. And I realized as soon as I took this that something was missing. I forgot to fill in my brows! Brows make such a big difference.


Here's me at work and in my full costume. The only good thing about not everyone dressing up in my department...it was more chance for me to win a prize in the contest ;) In fact, I ended up winning twice!!! One for my costume and one for the ghoulish desert I brought in (I foolishly forgot to take a picture of it- it came out really neat. I made a chocoalte cake with chocolate frosting, and crumbled oreo cookies to make it look like dirt. Then I took some "gummy body parts" and stuck them in the cake, then took red decorator gel for "blood"). I won two gift cards- $50 total! It's not my fault that no one else wanted to join in the fun!

Here's a closeup of my eyes. I know I probably have no business posting this because it's rather...eugh. I kind of forgot to put a base on in the morning. But, this was taken at the end of the day. Oops!

My favorite thing were my lashes- again this was taken at the end of the day and they were starting to lift. Plus I am quite a novice when it comes to false lashes. You have no idea how hard I practiced weeks before!

And, since it's appropriate, here's what I used:

Eyes:

• L'Oreal Eye Smoker Pencils in Noir (black) and Shimmer (white)
• Wet n Wild eyeshadows in Gypsy (black, also used to fill in brows) and Wicked (white)
• MAC Knight Devine
• Urban Decay 24/7 Pencil in Zero
• Fright Night False Lashes in "Bat Girl"

Cheeks:

• NARS Amour

Lips:

• NYX Snow White

If you have any questions...or would like a more in-depth look at how I did this (believe me it looked MUCH better in the morning, as opposed to the end of the night in the pictures), just let me know.
