13 Days of Halloween Series : D-I-Y Halloween Makeup

WFinally, getting all caught up in my delayed 13 Days of Halloween Series blog. Halloween is just around the corner now and I tried on my Dalmatian shirt ... and I look like a cow ... a cow ... so now I have to fix it and hopefully the dog ears and the face makeup will help turn it back into a dalmatian. However, depending on how you go for Halloween, I found Michelle Phan's youtube videos and Promise Phan's youtube videos to be utterly amazing in demonstrating some of the Halloween makeup. Here are my favorite ones! Check out their channel too!!!



I just love Audrey Hepburn...she is such an inspiration to me and I love the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys's!


Wow!!! This is just amazing...if you wanted to go all out for Halloween (:



This looks is creepy yet freakishly cool at the same time... i love how she made her eyes bigger.



So enchanting and haunting...getting chills...from a swan...






13 Days of Halloween Series : Daily Laugh Wednesday - Halloween Edition Thanks to the Ellen Show

Here is the day 2 in the 3 for 1 special in the 13 Days of Halloween Series...so lets pretend it's Wednesday.

We most think of Halloween in fear, but this week I swear I am so out of it and is getting stressed out by the amount of homework, ACT, college apps, and my mood not being so happy. So, for this daily laugh Wednesday, I have some Halloween scares courtesy of my favorite talk show, The Ellen Show. I don't know about you but I love to laugh at people's reaction and being scared though I am like that too. So I hope you enjoy them and bring a smile to your face if you are having a bad week like me(:



Modern Family is one of my favorite shows! It never fails to make me laugh. Plus this new haunted hallway thing on the Ellen Show...pure laughter!


O-M-G so funny...and by The Ellen Show...'nuff said!


The scare montage that Ellen made for her Halloween episode... some good laughs in there!


I hate spiders...and this was just utterly hilarious...Emma Stones reaction was funny as well!!!!

Can't find the link or the picture again on google :(
Welp, I am taking a break from attempting to edit and finish my essay for the common app. So I decided that I will show you guys my computer wallpaper in the spirit of Halloween. I usually like the cutesty or fashionable or artsy kind of backgrounds. Especially for Halloween, I don't want to open my computer to a horror, creepy Halloween wallpaper. I mean if thats your thing, thats cool. But I thought this was adorable! And I'm terribly sorry that I did not post anything for the past 3 days because I was having a bad week being swamped with homework due to the end of 1st quarter being next week and the ACT this Saturday which I didn't get a chance to practice like I wanted too, and Early Action deadline being next week Thursday which my teacher didn't submit my recommendation yet....ugh I can't wait for winter break which my family is planning on leaving the states to go someplace warm...(: At you guys get a 3 for 1 special in the 13 days of Halloween Series ! And I'm getting a Kindle Fire HD which I am excited for because my friend has one and I absolutely adore it! S is trying to convince me to get an iPad instead but I was watching the Kindle Fire HD video and it is like the iPad but cheaper (:

What is your current Halloween background?

13 Days of Halloween: Mani Monday - Witchy Purple

forevergina.blogspot.com
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear $2.59 at Ulta
My nails aren't necessarily Halloween themed/designed, but it really reminded me of a color associated with witches. This nail polish dries moderately fast and is true to its title, it is hard as nails! This Deep Purple reminded me of a witchy purple that is associated with Halloween but still can be worn throughout the year! It is pigments though I had to put 2 coats to get a deep effect. Plus I did notice that there was some sparkly glitter within the polish if your shine your nails toward the light. The glitter to me is rainbow but I could be wrong.

Overall (out of 5) : ****

Cotton ball cobwebs are really easy to do while creating your house into an historic, scary house. It is very simple to do. Take cotton balls and just slowly pull it apart to create a webby effect. The thinner, the cotton ball is the webbier your spider webs will look! Also, they can be put up anywhere from your lamps to your mantle!! Add some plastic spiders for more of a creepy look.

4. Flower pots Frankenstein :

Money Saver : Nail polish Swatches


Money is a huge deal for me since going to college is going to cost a lot, so I try to save here and there. So this is the nail polish swatches that I found to save money without costing the extra buck, two or five bucks to buy those plastic finger nail swatch wheel when you have... index cards!

Money saving Nail polish swatches on index cards

This will not only save you money, but will also help keep you better organized, because on the plastic nail polish swatch wheel there is no room to write down the names of the nail polish and with the index card you have the freedom to to do whatever you like with the swatches. So in summary, just whip out some paper or index cards and use them to swatch your nail polish instead of buying a swatch wheel ! (:
