Getting a head-start on Halloween crafts

Labor Day has come and gone, which means that I’m starting to see Halloween displays in stores.  Fall is my favorite time of year and I love Halloween – so let’s prepare early, shall we?

A real zombie heart would probably be all blackened, gooey and putrid, but I created this one in fun but toxic cartoon colors.

Sexy Splattered Stilettos

This is not a makeup post but a style post… Halloween style!  I just scored these super sweet pumps today.  They are white patent leather, with 5 inch heels, hidden platform – and splattered in blood!  I adore the unexpected combination of sex appeal and gore.

Serial Killer Stilettos

They are super easy to walk in, even for klutzes like myself.  The hidden platform makes the heel feel more manageable.  These heels are cool enough to build a whole Halloween costume around.

New YouTube Vid Up: Skull Makeup Tutorial

OK you guys, I finally did it!  I just posted a two-part tutorial on YouTube that walks you through the process of applying full-face skull makeup.  You don’t need any special materials, just basic black and white makeup, patience, and a steady hand.  This is my first ever video makeup tutorial… and video editing… and web video, ever!  Hope it’s helpful!
