SINFUL COLORS LIMITED EDITION HALLOWEEN NAIL POLISH

Hi to all,


Todays blog is on the nail polish line Sinful Colors which are starting to pop around select Canadian stores.

I happen to be at a nearby Rexall/Pharmaplus store and they had a few limited edition Halloween polishes available. However I did find out more colours will be available from the permanent line.

The two limited edition colours are COURTNEY ORANGE and PUMPKIN SPICE

Courtney Orange is a true bold satin finish orange polish that will also work for the summer months as well and would look amazing against tanned skin and paired with white sandals. As for its use in our current Fall season I think some cute pumpkin, ghost and witch nail jewels would be super awesome to top off this colour, or even make some jack-o-lantern faces with black nail art polish. You could even do some black crackle polish over top if you don't want to do anything to complicated.

Pumpkin Spice is a red and gold sparkle polish that will surely add flare to your Halloween manicure if your looking to jazz up all your nails or just your accent one. As you can see I did a couple of coats over the orange polish which looks great as well.

 

In my eyes Sinful Colors bottles look very similar to both OPI and China Glaze and work quite well and have good rich opacity as with some high end nail polishes. However the bonus with Sinful Colors is that they are totally affordable for all budgets. In Canada they run about $3.

 

I am looking forward to discovering more from Sinful Colours and seeing their full colour range up close and in person.

"HALLOWEEN KISSES" FANTASY MAKERS LIPSTICK AND GLITTER EYELINER

Hi again everyone,

Before we begin today just a side note. I will not be posting anything for the next couple of day as it is Canadian Thanksgiving this week-end and I have many other things to focus on at the moment. So stay tuned for much more starting up again next Tuesday:) Thanks for your support everyone


Moving on to more of the Halloween theme lets take a look at two of the Fantasy Makers lipsticks available now till Halloween and one glitter liner.

The first colour is the traditional red which can be used to do sultry vampiress looks or if you love red lipstick you can grab this for super cheap and get that red that you crave.

 

Next we have that fierce black that you either love or hate, for many years I rocked a black lip even when the world wasn't ready for it.

 

 

Lastly you can also combine the two to create a more deep blood red ombre affect, which can also be great for Halloween or anytime if that's the style you love

 

 

There are very tiny fine red glitters in the red that show up more when you do this combination.

 

I find the lipsticks do have that slight Halloween waxy smell, but I don't find it bothersome. I find the black wears off quicker because it seems slightly oilier.

 

I NOTICED ON THE FANTASY MAKER WEBSITE TWO VERSIONS OF THE BLACK AND RED LIPSTICK TUBES AND THERE ARE ALSO THREE SPARKLING LIP GLOSSES IN WHITE, RED & BLACK WHICH LOOK GOOD, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM AT A STORE NEAR ME. AGAIN SOME ITEMS MIGHT BE US RELEASES ONLY

 

You get 3.6g for$1.99 CAD

 

 

Last up is one of four glitter eyeliners, I opted for a teal one because it can carry me through the Christmas holidays as well as into the summer months, but they also come in black, silver and purple. I don't use glitter liner enough to justify purchasing all four of them.

 

 

I find the glitter a bit of a pain to work with and before each additional application I recommend letting the first one dry. If the previous application is still wet you just keeping shifting the product around and actually start making a mess and not a define line. As you can see even I did not do the best possible application. I did get a bit in my eye and it felt awful, so be careful. To remove it make sure you use a good eye makeup remover or just good old fashion soap and water, which to me works the very best.

 

You get 4.6g for $2.99 CAD

 

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT A FULL RANGE OF FANTASY MAKERS ONLINE OR AT A STORE NEAR YOU, ONLY FOR A LIMITED TIME

ROUND UP THE CHILDREN ITS FAMILY HALLOWEEN MOVIE NIGHT

GOOD DAY EVERYONE,

Ok before I start this I want to make a *DISCLAIMER*, it is essential that you as the parent view any of these movies I list before allowing your children to watch them.  I say this because everyone's idea of age appropriateness can differ quite a bit. My son has been watching Ghostbusters since he was 3, where as other parents have been shocked when I tell them that. So please these are only suggestions and should be used at your discretion. I would say most of the movies I am listing today would be fine for between the ages of 6-12, but YOU are the parent of your child not me and I will NOT be held responsible if you decide to let your child watch any of the following movies and you come back to complain about any thematic elements in them. "DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU"

So my own child loves movies that have some element of scary, but nothing to outrageous, nor would I let him watch anything I consider movies for older people. So when the family sits down to watch child friendly Halloween movies, these are our top picks. ENJOY

"A REEL SPOOKY TAG" MY FAVOURITE SCARY MOVIES

WELL HELLO THERE,

I thought for a change of pace, but sticking with this months Halloween theme lets do a Top favourite scary movie tag (ANYONE CAN DO THIS) make sure to credit me for this, that's all I ask. You can list as many or as little as you like (I have done 25 + a bonus title)

As I have now mentioned in a previous post I love all things Halloween related and ever since I was 10 I have had a serious passion for scary movies. I don't like movies that are super gory and have no real good story line. I like movies that have that jump factor because they truly are haunting or unexpected twists. Also movies that offer elements like ghosts, goblins, witches, Frankenstein, that kind of thing, I am old school with my interest in the horror genre. I think I have compiled a great offering of movies old and new. HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT


Here are my favourite movies in no specific order

1. GHOSTBUSTERS (1984)

2. THE WOMAN IN BLACK (2012)

 

3. THE OTHERS (2001)

 

 

4."PHYSCO" (1960) (Alfred Hitchcock is brilliant)

 

 

 

5. THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW (1988)

 

 

6. FLATLINERS (1990)

 

7. ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968)

 

 

 

8. SILENT HILL

 

 

 

 

9. THE OMEN (1976)

 

 

 

10. THE CRAFT (1996)

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST ONE OF THE OLDEST AND TRUEST CLASSIC MOVIES THAT SET THE FOUNDATION FOR HORROR AND THE LOVE OF VAMPIRES

 

26. NOSFERATU (1922)

 

 

That concludes my vast collection of favourite horror, scary, Halloween type movies. Everyones idea of scary or spooky is different and I don't expect anyone to agree with all of my choices, but I tried to stick with movies that offer up some element of those things I noted. I for one have watched all these movies many times and don't find really any of them that scary anymore and "The Craft"...well that's just my guilty pleasures movie from the 90's haha.

 

I can't wait to hear what some of you consider your favourites and I hope in doing this tag you may have discovered some movies you've never even heard of and will try to watch. Let me know in the comments:)

 

STAY TUNED AS I WILL BE DOING ANOTHER POST ON MOVIES FOR HALLOWEEN BUT THIS TIME IT'S ONES SUITABLE FOR KIDS OF VARIOUS AGES, HOPE YOU'LL COME BACK TO READ.
